Doom Powers[1] (ドゥームパワー[2] Dūmu Pawā?) are a type of power that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are a set of abilities used by Shadow the Hedgehog, appearing in Shadow Generations. Black Doom forcibly supplied these powers to Shadow in an attempt to make Shadow's body suitable for Black Doom to take control of.
Description[]
Doom Powers are essentially a form of genetic mutation that alters Shadow's Black Arms DNA influenced with Black Doom's power, granting Shadow an even stronger upgrade to his own Chaos powers, while also going into a state called "Doom Shadow". They can be obtained by using Doom Gear to open a Sealing Device. Most appear to be utilizing a similar material to Red Slime.
According to Professor Gerald Robotnik, although powerful, Shadow is obligated to not remove his Limiter Rings, as doing so would cause him to explode.[3]
Additionally, the stronger Shadow gets with his Doom Powers, the more aggressive Shadow becomes. This also increases the risk of Black Doom taking control of Shadow and his body. By reaching the full power of his Doom Powers, Shadow becomes capable of defeating Devil Doom and his Neo Devil Doom forms outside of his Super State. After Black Doom's defeat, Shadow's access to his Doom Powers regresses. It is clear whether they’ll make another appearance since he's a hybrid of the Black Arms, meaning that Shadow will regain them someday in the future.
