Shadow is a focused, serious and powerful hedgehog known as the Ultimate Life Form. While trying to join in the fight against Eggman, he ends up trapped inside the Void of the [[Shatterverse]], not allowed to visit other worlds. Shadow must try to find a way to help Sonic, but first, he must learn to trust the hedgehog once again.

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (film series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' film series produced by [[Paramount Pictures]] and its spin-offs, Shadow is an anthropomorphic hedgehog associated with a secret experiment called [[Project Shadow (Paramount)|Project Shadow]] that took place over fifty years prior to [[Doctor Robotnik (Paramount)|Dr. Robotnik]]'s [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (film)|return]] from the [[Mushroom Planet]].

In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW comic series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic series and its spin-offs published by [[IDW Publishing]], Shadow's past is virtually identical to his game counterpart's, up until after the events of ''[[Sonic Forces]]''. After the [[War to Take Back the Planet|Eggman War]], Shadow focused on  finding [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] and eliminating him. He eventually found him in [[Windmill Village]], where [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] defended Eggman, claiming he had lost his memory and was now harmless. After some persuasion, Shadow decided to leave Eggman be. He later took part in the battle for [[Angel Island]] and the fight against [[Neo Metal Sonic]]. Afterward, during the [[Metal Virus]] outbreak, Shadow, along with [[Team Dark]], helped evacuate [[Sunset City]]. However, Shadow ended up getting infected with the Metal Virus and turned into a [[Zombot]]. Eventually, however, he was restored to normal on Angel Island, where he immediately began pursuing Eggman, but was foiled by [[Metal Sonic]]. He later followed a lead on Eggman to [[White Park Zone]], where he got attacked by [[Doctor Starline|Dr. Starline]]. Soon after, Shadow helped Sonic save the [[White Park Grand Chateau]] from an avalanche caused by Starline.

In the ''[[The Jet Black Hedgehog: Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' [[manga]] series published by [[CoroCoro Comic]], Shadow's past is substantially different. He is an aggressive, and violent, yet stoic hedgehog who after suffering an identity crisis for being a failed cure for [[Maria Robotnik|Maria]]. Earth's National Defense Forces, being manipulated by death leeches, raid the Space Colony ARK, disposing of everything including Maria. After heartfelt words from Maria, Shadow gets sent down by an emergency escape pod and teleports into [[White Space]], in which he meets a mysterious creature known as [[Bug-Eye]], who promises to bring Maria back to life as long as Shadow collects the [[Three Wishing Orbs]].
