skills

Super speed: Although not necessarily faster than Sonic, he is capable of matching his speed, partly thanks to his Hover Shoes, which allow him to move at high speed without touching the ground. Chaos Control: His most iconic ability, allowing him to manipulate space-time using the power of the Chaos Emeralds. He can teleport, stop time, or accelerate his movements. Chaos Spear: Fires chaotic energy spears as projectiles. Chaos Blast: Unleashes a large explosion of destructive energy around itself. Superhuman strength: It is much stronger than a common hedgehog, being able to lift and throw large objects with ease. Combat skills: He is an experienced fighter, combining his speed with close-quarters combat. Weapons and vehicle expert: In some games, such as Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), he is shown to be skilled in using firearms, swords, and vehicles. Immortality: Due to his artificial creation by Professor Gerald Robotnik, Shadow does not age and possesses near-infinite longevity.

Friendships

Rouge the Bat: His/Her colleague in the GUN organization. Although he doesn't show it openly, Shadow trusts her more than most. Rouge tries to get him out of his solitary state from time to time. E-123 Omega: A robot created by Eggman, which rebels against its creator. Omega respects Shadow and considers him an ally in the fight against Eggman. Together with Rouge, they form Team Dark. Sonic the Hedgehog: Their main rival, although they aren't always enemies. Shadow sees Sonic as annoying, but respects him for his strength and determination. They have worked together on several occasions to save the world. Maria Robotnik: The most important person in Shadow's life. Maria was a human girl who lived in the ARK space colony and was killed when GUN attacked the station. Before dying, he asked Shadow to protect humanity, which became his life's purpose. Dr. Eggman: Shadow has worked with him on a few occasions, but generally opposes his plans. He doesn't trust Eggman, because he knows Eggman sees him as just another tool.
