Talk:Shadow the Hedgehog

Age
surly Shadow is 50 years old, as he was created 50 years ago.  Myself 123  17:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually it is rounded to 50: Shadow's game manual says "Some 50 years ago, this "Ultimate Life Form" was the result of the army's secret research," also I think there is also a source that says "over 50." Officially his age is "unknown" (as listed in Sonic Heroes manual) because it never pins down the exact distance into the past he was created. But I want to add that this whole "he was created 50 years ago but physically his body is 15" thing is lame, do we ever think about equivalent ages to animals "the dog is 1 year old so physically he is the equivalent of 7 years old in human time."? Besides since his body is ageless, it is always at its peak - the peak age for humans is given as an broad estimate because it is varies between individuals. 69.140.240.96 04:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The source of him being physically 15 is Concept: "Mobius." It points out that Shadow is the same height and weight as Sonic who is 15.Fair field fencer F F F  10:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note:Concept: "Mobius" is a fansite, thus, we can't use it. Also, we really don't know what a male hedgehog from their world could look like at say, age 5. Though, going by the game's time, Shadow should be around 3 (Phyically) Skeletal '''SLJCOAAATR Soul 12:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Still for age, i think we should put around 50, it may not be accurate, but it's close.  Myself 123  15:36, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

So, is anyone going to describe what Shadow does in Sonic Unleashed?
I'm asking since the info for Shadow being in Sonic Unleashed isn't mentioned yet, I haven't gotten the game yet (and even if I did, it would have been the Wii version, which doesn't do much good, as they cut him out of that version) so won't someone update his profile to mention what he is doing in Sonic Unleashed? This goes for Knuckle's article, as well.
 * Early reports said Shadow and Knuckles were in it but it's been proven incorrect. The closest you'll get is a sign post in Empire City telling you which way Shadow Road is. But that's in the Xbox 360 version.Fair field fencer F F F  08:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Shadow. My name's Laponce Thompson and I'm Ronald's friend. I heard that you're the ultimate life form and the G.U.N. agent. You're Sonic's arch rival and you're trying to surpass Sonic's speed. I hope you and Sonic are having a great battle! See you later!

I am SO Going to get flamed for this.
But does anyone realise that Shadow is something of a Gary Stu or a Marty Stu or whatever? I mean, he's all powerful, he can't age or die, he can teleport and the creators tried to drown that out with too many faults. -_-, And if you flame me for this, you're violating my right to have an opinion. - Anon

Shadow is cool, but here's a question.
173.73.72.237 05:31, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Here I am leaving a message on the talk of one of my favorite heroes of them all Shadow the Hedgehog (Yeah you Shadow Haters... he's so awesome and you know it). Anyway I came here to post up a question for anyone who can answer it. In the game Shadow the Hedgehog they said that the comet passes by every fifty years. Yet in Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow had awoken after being imprisoned for fifty years in the military base. So why didn't the comet pass by and Black Doom approach him then? I'm posting this question here since there's no discussion section for the Black Comet itself.


 * The Black Arms are religious nutcases, seems to be the short answer. Why didn't they conquer Mobius when Black Doom brought the Glyphic Canyon skyships to the surface of Mobius, 2000 years ago? There wasn't any GUN to stop 'em, then. I suspect the answer does indeed lie in Black Arms eschatology. Notice how Black Doom keeps rambling on about the "Promised time" all the way through Shadow's game? THAT'S why. The Black Arms will have some sort of religious prophecy that prohibited them from acting until the time they eventually did. Molten Scandium 11:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Not to mention the fact that it might not have been exactly fifty years ago. When Shadow was reawakened it could have easily been 48 years. People some times use rough approximations instead of the actually amount. It's not uncommon.Fair <font color="#FFA500">field <font color="#FF2400">fencer <font color="FF2400">F <font color="#FFA500">F <font color="#FF2400">F  11:29, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Immortal?
164.106.16.157 17:09, 10 February 2009 (UTC) I notice that everyone says Shadow does not age and is immortal (even the games say that). Well that could be true, but I'm here to finally say this to the world. Is he really an ageless immortal? I mean sure he's like 50, but he was frozen in sleep for all those years, so of course he wouldn't age. He doesn't look much older with each passing game, but then again Sonic and the others don't look any older or younger either. I'd say that Shadow's physical age is seventeen (since he seems a little older than Sonic) and his actual age is 67.
