Again I'm not concerned with the pther continuities, of this hypothesis was just about the comics are whatever, I'd be more inclined to agree, however this is not the case. It is indeed true that the games and everything about them would most likely be agreed by a collective, but more often than not there'll be a director for a game who'd lead the team in a certain direction. Additionally, if I were to create an official Sonic comic series on which Sonic is secretly an alien, that wouldn't make it true for all other continuities, despite it being considered official Sonic material. Other continuities have the freedom to do what they want (within reason), so something in one continuity cannot be used as evidence for another.

Again, we don't know enough about Shadow's DNA to assume he's incapable of reproduction, you could make a guess, but need I remind you that Bio-Lizard, a fellow synthetic lifeform with God-knows what genetic makeup, was capable of reproduction. The way I see it is this:


 * 1) Hedgehog? Check
 * 2) Male? Check
 * 3) Capable of feeling romantic love? Possibly (displayed a wide array of emotions)
 * 4) Capable of reproduction? Possibly (previous experiment in the same project was capable of asexual reproduction)
 * 5) Interested in a relationship? Probably not (highly driven personality, little interest in leisure or recreation).

The only real factor for me is Shadow's personality, but immortality is a long time and people can change, so while he may not be as likely, I'd still consider him a candidate.

As for Silver being his own ancestor, as creepy as it is, I wouldn't rule it out either.
