I'm not quite sure what you mean here. If Silver didn't inherit his powers, that would make anyone as likely as the last. Are we talking about the Sega or Archie Universe?

Because if you meant the Sega Universe, then power inheritence is not confirmed therefore meaning that power can be gained by random chance. In the Archie Universe, there is a distinguishable pattern that power can be inherited, but we only saw this go down one or two generations but not far enough to 300 or so years (Silver's age suppose) to see whether the power inheritence weakens or changes into something else due to generations or so breeding. This means in the Sega Universe, power such as Psychokinesis or Super Sonic Speed can happen by chance and are not something traceable like Archie does. A Hedgehog already with Psychokinesis is not required to kick start Silver's family tree in this sense.

Also he was then after made part of Gerald's Doomsday plan before turning against it.

And I also never said he couldnt feel emotion, of course he could but so far to the point of true love is most likely something he is not designed for, therefore unable to procreate. We can see the concept of empathy and sympathy is understood by him in both comics and games, but he is never ever depicted in any games or comics to show love. We must try and keep to what is canon and away from what is not established as much as possible to keep the theory accurate.
