More like what isn't wrong with him(for me of course). Shadows powers, while they are cool, seem to be TO hardy. And thus, make him overpowered. I also don't like the character. He's basicly an emo that hides that cuts his spines instead of his wrists. Now if was just this, I could deal with him, but its the impact that he creates on the sonic fandom that send this character to my top slot hit list. I believe its this character that make alot of the recolor artists think theirs nothing wrong with their character justifying it by shadow himself. Infact, I once heard a recolor artist say that because "sega hedgehogs are all recolors"(most likely pertaining to shadow and Mephiles) that they are totally acceptable. And don't get me started on the fangirls.
