I think what happened is that Shadow as originally set to only appear in Sonic Adventure, however, fans like him so much that Sega brought him back in Heroes. I guess with Shadow the Hedgehog (the game), Sega had to come up with a backstory on him on the spot in order to keep him as a recurring character due to his popularity at the time (being voted the second most popular character in the series). It was pretty weird with Shadow being used from Black Doom's DNA and things like that...and the multiple endings didn't help either. And don't get me started on what Sonic Boom did to him in the games...maybe he'll be better in the tv series if he appears. sdSI think what happened is that Shadow as originally set to only appear in Sonic Adventure, however, fans like him so much that Sega brought him back in Heroes.
