Mhm.

Yeah, yeah.

Mm.

What?

Yeah, Yeah.

Dr.

Gerald.

Robotic grandfather to the doctor.

Eggman, we all know had a problem.

His granddaughter Maria was dying, succumbing to a neuro immunity disease with no known cure for an old Jerry Had a plan.

When the government contacted him to build the ultimate life for him, he figured it's DNA could cure Maria.

No problem.

So he took the job.

And by studying the infinite power of chaos, emeralds with some alien assistance, he made the one and only shadowed the hedge.

Hug.

Wait.

Did the government commission him or was it hot topic?

Better question.

Since when were hedgehogs ultimate disease curing life forms?

I mean, Gerald's prototype was a lizard, which sort of makes sense as certain reptiles have regenerative tissue.

But then he went from this to a hedgehog.

Okay, who cares if he's a lizard, hedgehog, squirrel or whatever is all that matters is he's super bad ass looking super bad ass sounding and his super powered by chaos literally shadows.

Powers are directly tied to those of the miracle gems, chaos, emeralds.

He can tap into their power for incredible feats similar to his blue blur rivals likely for this very reason.

He actually possesses many of the same abilities as Sonic.

You know, the guy who's so fast he can almost outrun a black hole.

Spin attacks, homing attack, spin dashes, et cetera.

But unlike his blue buddy shadows not afraid to get serious and bust out some lead.

Hey, Sonic, why use a spin attack when you've got a goddamn good or a sword as big as you?

Look at that thing?

He's used some of the same power ups that Sonics picked up like heat barriers and magnetic lightning shields, but he also has some unique gear, all of his own.

His air shoes are way cooler than sonic sneakers.

They can boost his speed to match Sonics and also let him play kind of.

He's even got some gear attached that lets him attack at the speed of light.

However, all of these abilities and equipment are mere accessories to shadows.

True power, the might of chaos itself.

Even without an emerald on hand, shadow can summon similar power manifesting attacks like black tornado, chaos blast or the deadly chaos spear.

Hey, that reminds me of my power chaos Beer.

Oh, really.

And what does that do exactly?

It's when I use my edgy chaos energy to spun a full can of beer in my hand.

It's never failed me.

You mean when you open the fridge and you take one out watch?

As I demonstrate, I pushed through the cold grasp the stealing can, ripping it from its home so that I may consume it for pleasure anyway, come back in a couple of days to hear about shadows.

Opponent where you go, McCoy.
