Black Doom's Return

Black Doom is an extraterrestrial threat, debuting in 2005's Shadow the Hedgehog. Black Doom is the leader of the parasitic Black Arms and their creator. Under his hand, the Black Arms have prospered into a demonic legion ready to besiege Earth. They visited the planet in the past and erected numerous temples. They have waited for eons to control the world and turn humankind into their livestock.

Black Doom's most notable connection is with Shadow the Hedgehog, his son. Gerald Robotnik allied with Black Doom and used his blood to create Shadow. Using Black Doom's DNA gave birth to Shadow the Hedgehog, creating the ultimate lifeform. Black Doom used his connection with Shadow to manipulate him. Black Doom wanted Shadow's power for himself. Black Doom is central to Shadow's story, persuading him to join his brethren. Shadow ultimately rejects Doom, however, and kills him in the end.

Mephiles, the Darkest of Sonic Threats

Mephiles the Dark casts a shadow over 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog, also known as 'Sonic 06'. He is one half of the primordial entity, Solaris, that reigned over Soleanna. His other half, Iblis, creates the catastrophic future that becomes Silver's home, Crisis City. Mephiles' goal is to reunite with his other half and create Solaris. The only way to do this is through Elise, who holds the sealed Iblis within her. By getting Elise to cry, Mephiles can unleash Iblis and rejoin with his other half. Solaris will be reborn, and he will destroy space-time itself.

Mephiles puppeteers the events of Sonic 06 by manipulating Silver and Shadow. He plays on Silver's desperation to stop Iblis and undo the damage to the future. Mephiles persuades Silver to fight Sonic, making him believe that Sonic is to blame for the future. Shadow the Hedgehog is different and is the template of Mephiles' new body. Mephiles also has the most hatred for him due to Shadow sealing him in the deep past. Mephiles wanted Shadow to join forces with him. He showed Shadow a future where humans would turn against him. Despite Mephiles' words, Shadow rejects his stance. Shadow promises to keep fighting, even for a world that will hate and fear him.

Facing Shadow's Past

The Sonic X Shadow Generations trailer also featured a surprise appearance from Maria Robotnik. Maria was Shadow's closest friend on the ARK, the sick granddaughter of Gerald Robotnik. Shadow the Hedgehog was created by Gerald Robotnik to cure her unknown sickness. Her grandfather was a scientist aboard the Space Colony ARK and an overarching villain of Sonic Adventure 2. Maria's life was sadly taken from her when GUN infiltrated the ARK and shut it down. In an attempt to send Shadow away, she is shot and killed by an officer. Maria Robotnik's death hung over Shadow and was the primary reason for Gerald's descent into villainy.

Due to the Time Eater, the main antagonist of 2011's Sonic Generations, Maria and Gerald have returned. Maria and Gerald inhabit White Space, Shadow's hub world area in Shadow Generations. Sonic X Shadow Generations offers Shadow a new opportunity to interact with Maria. The game has set up interactions for Shadow that let him further resolve his conflicts with the characters. Sonic X Shadow Generations is taking everything we have about Shadow the Hedgehog and pushing it further. The game will be released later this month, so check it out if you are interested.
