Shadow the Hedgehog and Mewtwo

Shadow the Hedgehog is an anthropomorphical mobian hedgehog. She's the "Ultimate Lifeform", and is currently physically 21 years old, though she has been in cryogenic for 50 years until a couple years ago.

Shadow is the "Ultimate Lifeform", created aboard the Space Colony ARK over fifty years ago by Professor Gerald Robotnik. She is the final result of Project Shadow, a government experiment that was only completed by infusing Shadow with the DNA of the alien conqueror, Black Doom. After her birth, Shadow befriended Gerald's granddaughter, Maria Robotnik. However, the Guardian Units of Nations (G.U.N.) deemed the project a threat and raided the ARK, resulting in the captures of Shadow and Gerald, and the death of Maria. Driven to madness, Gerald discreetly altered Shadow's memories to, one day, seek revenge on all humanity.

Shadow remained in stasis for decades until she was freed by Gerald's grandson, Dr. Eggman. Fueled by vengeance, Shadow fought Sonic and his friends until her true memories of Maria returned, inspiring her to save the world from her and Gerald's doomsday plot. However, Shadow fell to Earth and lost her memories during the process. Shadow would only learn the truth of her existence once he faced the Black Arms invasion of Earth. She has fought for Maria's wish of peace ever since, acting as a dark heroine who protects the Earth and its inhabitants.

Personality wise, Shadow usually acts with a cool indifference, rarely showing her vulnerable side. She is seldom seen with others for an extended period of time and usually distances himself from everyone whom she does not trust. She is usually blunt and rarely bluffs; if she makes a threat, she has every intention of carrying it out. Shadow's ruthlessness and aggression lead to her enemies never treating her lightly. Alongside her often dark demeanor, Shadow can be arrogant and stubborn. She usually treats others in a very callous manner, throwing in her opinion no matter how cold-hearted it is and caring little for the response. Shadow is also shown to have a sharp wit.

Shadow is a rather conflicted character, often experiencing painful flashbacks and still deeply affected by her troubled past. Even prior to the events of the ARK raid, Shadow demonstrated some degree of self-doubt, most notably expressing frustration over how, despite being created as the Ultimate Lifeform as a means to cure various maladies, she was still unable to help her friend Maria, questioning whether she has a place on the planet. Similarly, largely because of her creation involving Black Doom, Shadow during this time showed signs of self-loathing, seeing herself as no better than any other Black Arm. Shadow was soon able to overcome this in the Black Arm and Emerl Incidents, during which she chose to move on from the past while continuing to keep Maria in her heart. Despite still being weighed by her past, Shadow has chosen to confront it, not forgetting what she has experienced, but refusing to let it hold her back or stop her from fulfilling Maria's final wish to help humanity.

In spite of Shadow's serious and no-nonsense attitude she is occasionally willing to spend time doing leisurely activities or social events like celebrating someone's birthday.

Despite the fact that Shadow often fights for the greater good, she is considered an anti-hero for the most part due to her morality and ends justify the means approach to missions. She does whatever is necessary to get what she wants or feels is right, though this enthusiasm causes her to take risks and jump into situations without fully thinking them through. While not necessarily evil, Shadow's ruthless, and determined personality has sometimes entailed the dangerous purity of turning herself into an enemy of many. Regardless, Shadow does have her moments of selflessness and heroism.

In Shadow's own words, she is not interested in peace, nor does she care about what happens to others. In truth, she simply does not like it when foolish people do whatever they please. While this may make it seem like Shadow stands firmly in opposition to villainy, she is actually very indiscriminate about who he faces, as she chooses to stand against anyone who she condemns for being "foolish", be they villains like Dr. Eggman or heroes like Sonic. She similarly does not want thanks for the help she provides when she does something heroic, believing that showing gratitude is a waste of time. However, the grim and uncaring disposition she puts on is not entirely accurate considering the lengths she goes to save others including even sacrificing her own life. In contrast to her words, Shadow acts in a way that ultimately protects others. Deep down, she cares about those around her, only hiding her more caring side to keep herself shielded and distant. She is still shaken by the death of Maria, which is mostly why she keeps to herself; she does not want to become close to anyone else for fear of losing them like she did Maria. Despite her apathetic nature, she does feel sympathy for others, and since reforming herself at the end of the Space Colony ARK incident, she has fought for the greater good, most noticeably to prevent letting other people experience past tragedies, specially the ones that she has been through.

Shadow is an extremely powerful individual and combatant, capable of going toe-to-toe with and sometimes even overwhelming Sonic in fierce combat. She boasts superb agility and reflexes to match her rocket skate-induced speed, allowing her to act accordingly to even split-second lightspeed movements. Shadow also possesses an indomitable will and determination. Her absolute refusal to give up in any situation and resolve to see her goals through to the end allows her to keep on persevering even in seemingly impossible situations. Her enormous will even lets her psychologically resist mind control powers.

Shadow is naturally able to tap into the arcane powers of nearby Chaos Emeralds, either through physical contact or from a distance, to empower herself and access different chaos powers. According to Shadow herself, she is the only one who knows how to use the Chaos Emeralds' true power. Her trademark ability in the field of chaos powers is Chaos Control, a technique achieved with the Chaos Emeralds that lets her warp time and space for various effects. With this technique giving him control over time and space, Shadow is able to warp herself and those close by across space instantaneously over a range further than an island-annihilating explosion or between dimensions, slow down or freeze time entirely, and create areas of distorted space. Shadow is noticeably adept in using Chaos Control for anything between large-scale usages to small-scaled and delicate chaos powers inside and outside of combat. She can for example use it to either freeze or slow down opponents in time to give herself the speed advantage, launch surprise attacks by suddenly warping up in front or behind opponents, distort space around her fists for strikes that can blow opponents away, hide herself away in distorted space, attack foes with spots of distorted space, and even power her own healing abilities and guarding skills. However, Shadow cannot perform Chaos Control if she does not have any Chaos Emeralds to draw power from.

Beside Chaos Control, Shadow is able to use a number of additional chaos powers. One of these chaos powers include her Chaos Spear technique, in which she throws up to several bolts of Chaos Emerald energy at her opponent that can either paralyze or injure an opponent, depending on its power level. Shadow can also use Chaos Snap, an essentially a weaker version of Chaos Control which allows her to teleport short distances. Shadow's most powerful technique, however, is the Chaos Blast, a chaos power where she releases a discharge of Chaos Emerald energy in a massive explosion that eliminates everything within a range of 10-20 yards.

One of Shadow's main offensive maneuvers is the Spin Attack, a technique where she curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs herself at her targets. With it, Shadow can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Highly adept in its usage, Shadow can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both grounded and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, Double Jump, Homing Attack, Air Dash, Somersault, Dark Spin Dash, and the Light Speed Attack, which attacks at the speed of light.

Even without her Spin Attack, Shadow is a powerful hand-to-hand combatant. In line with her nature and potent abilities, Shadow uses a fighting style where she utilizes strong blows, such as powerful chops, flying kicks, sideways kicks, high spin kicks, reverse spin kicks, downward dive kicks, or just barrages of punches and kicks. In addition, many of Shadow's stronger hand-to-hand combat moves revolves heavily around her usage of Chaos Control for space distortion effects to knock opponents away and her Air Shoes' exhaust for burning opponents.

Shadow is an effective combat strategist, able to make split second calculations or adjustments to succeed in battle. Her strategies can range from creative uses of her environment, manipulating her opponent's shortcomings, and outmaneuvering enemies.

As powerful as she is, Shadow is able to make herself stronger up tapping into an even greater power within herself. This power is so potent that should she remove his Limiter Rings, she becomes a walking dynamo of raw power. When unleashing this power, she releases such tremendous amounts of energy that it forms an impenetrable barrier around herself. While in this state, Shadow gains increased strength and speed, enough to overpower hundreds of clones of enemies at once. However, using her full power tires her out more quickly.

By harnessing the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Shadow can enter a Super State, transforming her into Super Shadow. In this state, all of Shadow's abilities far surpass her normal ones and her chaos powers are increased to their full limit. She is also able to fly and is nearly invulnerable. Initially, Shadow found it difficult to stay in this state due to inexperience, but she has since mastered it. In addition, this transformation consumes a lot of energy, meaning it cannot be maintained for long. The black parts of her fur become a bright glowing yellow color.

By having his mind fueled of depending moral thoughts, Shadow can enter into either two enhanced states that empower either side of the morality she has chosen.

When her mind is fueled by thoughts of justice, Shadow is able to attain an enhanced state known as Heroine Shadow. In this state, Shadow is temporarily invincible, gaining a faint blue glow on her body and can perform a large-scale use of Chaos Control. However, this state only lasts for a short period of time. This state can be applied on top of her Super Shadow state.

When her mind is fueled by thoughts of evil, Shadow is able to attain an enhanced state known as Dark Shadow. In this state, Shadow is temporarily invincible, gaining a faint red glow on her body and can perform a large scale-use of Chaos Blast. However, this state only lasts for a short period of time. This state can be applied on top of her Super Shadow state.

Appearance wise, Shadow is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with red eyes, fangs, a patch of white fur on her chest, a black nose, a tan muzzle and small and triangular ears with tan canals. She also has a sextet of quills on her head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, a pair of spines on her back and a short and pointy tail. She has red stripes on each of her head quills, around the edges of her eyes and on her arms and legs. She has massive breasts, thick thighs and a plump rear.

For attire, Shadow wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and Air Shoes which, like her gloves, have black cuffs and red tongues. Shadow also wears Limiter Rings, one on each of her wrists and ankles. These Limiter Rings limit the amount of power she uses during combat and other situations. By removing them, Shadow is able to utilize her full power.

Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon who was cloned from a Mew. She's 25 years old.

Initially Mewtwo viewed all humans as her enemy, as Team Rocket's boss Giovanni would usually rely on her for his evil deeds, and the scientists strongly implied they were more pleased with the project being a success than her actual worth as a living being. However, ever since Ash was petrified by the attacks of both Mewtwo and Mew, Mewtwo had a change of heart and did everything to make sure that no one remembered what happened.

Mewtwo's personality and motives beyond the initial misanthropy were due to her insecurity about her place in the world largely due to her status as a clone, and she preferred having a more direct confrontation between humanity and naturally-born Pokémon as revenge via her own cloned Pokémon, with the hurricane being more of a means to an end in bringing about this confrontation. She has calmed down considerably since the events in Kanto, and Mewtwo has grown into a guardian figure for her fellow clones. While she still questions her place in the world, she felt responsible for her clones and is willing to sacrifice herself in order to keep them safe from harm. While still cautious regarding humans, Mewtwo is also willing to save them if the need called for it. Her view on humanity was further changed as she was helped to Purity Spring, when Mewtwo wondered why Ash would help her, Ash claimed that no one needs a reason to help someone. Mewtwo's outlook on life was further influenced by how the spring affected her. As the waters had the same restoring effect on he ras they did on other Pokémon, she concluded that the world was her rightful place as well.

Many, many, many years ago Team Rocket discovered that a Mew was living in Guyana. Many years later, under the orders of the new boss Giovanni, an expedition team of Team Rocket scientists traveled to the area to search for a fossil of Mew, and succeeded in finding an eyelash belonging to it. Giovanni hired Dr. Fuji to clone Mew for him and create the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Fuji agreed, but only in order to continue his research into cloning his deceased daughter, Amber.

One month after the discovery of the eyelash, Mewtwo was successfully created and stored at New Island. At this point, she was still not fully grown and lived in a large tank beside others that contained Bulbasaurtwo, Squirtletwo, Charmandertwo, and Ambertwo. Fuji and the other scientists thought that Mewtwo was unconscious inside her tube, but she was able to communicate telepathically with Ambertwo and the other clones. However, because the cloning process requires a strong life force, all four other clones died. Before this, Mew was revealed to have an immortal life force, explaining why Mew's DNA sample made a successful clone in Mewtwo.

Over the years, Mewtwo matured and grew confused over her origin and place in the world. After resolving to figure out where she belongs, Mewtwo broke out of her tank, with Mewtwo exchanging some words with her creators while asking about the nature of her existence and her destiny. The Team Rocket scientists were happy that they had succeeded in creating the most powerful Pokémon in the world, but that joy turned to horror once Mewtwo retaliated. Realizing that she was just an experiment of mankind, Mewtwo unleashed her fury upon them. Despite the efforts of the security systems that were designed to control her, Mewtwo destroyed the laboratory on New Island and all of the scientists in it.

Mew and Mewtwo fought at length, ceasing only when Ash—exasperated over the drawn-out and fruitless battling—ran into the fray and was caught in their crossfire, which turned his body to stone. After Ash was revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experienced a change of heart and no longer sought to conquer the world. Mewtwo reasoned that it would be best if no one remembered the events that had transpired, so it erased the memories of all the people and Pokémon and transported everyone but Team Rocket back to the mainland. Mewtwo and Mew left New Island with the cloned Pokémon to seek a proper place for themselves.

Mewtwo is no longer the tortured antihero, but is someone who embraced Amber's final words, that of "Life is wonderful."

Mewtwo is extremely powerful, she can telekinetically lift over 2 billion tons, create barriers that negate all damage, teleport across dimensions, generate a giant spoon as a weapon. Mewtwo is absurdly intelligent, capable of surpassing Psychic types with IQs over 5,000. Mewtwo can communicate telepathically, invade an opponent's mind, read their memories, alter their thoughts, or disable their powers outright. She can even exert control over one's soul.

Mewtwo can fire spheres made out of shadows, utilize fire, unleash thunderbolts, control rocks, fire powerful hyper beams. She can also lower the stamina of other beings with her sheer pressure. Not only that, but Mewtwo is capable of pre-emptively copying an opponent's move before they use it with Me First. And with Guard Swap or Power Swap, she can switch her strength or defense buffs with their opponent.

Depending on the Mewtwonite she's holding, Mewtwo can transform into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Mega Mewtwo Y increases her psychic power, allowing her to hold planets in place, link telepathically with the entire Earth and see light stand still. Mega Mewtwo X, on the other hand, enhances her physical power, making her a martial arts master with stretchy Gumby limbs! She can contend with Über Pokémon like Zygarde, and can nuke the Earth's entire surface.

Appearance wise, Mewtwo is a tall, humanoid Pokémon with a slender but muscular build. Her body is primarily pale lavender, with a darker purple tail and accents. She has a large, elongated head with a smooth, rounded shape, narrow purple eyes, and two short, blunt protrusions extending from the back of her skull. her face has a small nose and a narrow mouth, giving it a distinctly stern appearance. A thick, purple tube-like structure extends from the back of her skull down to the upper part of her spine. Her arms are long and thin, ending in three-fingered hands, while her legs are similarly slender with large, three-toed feet. A long, thick purple tail emerges from her lower back, tapering toward the end and curving naturally behind it. She has massive breasts, thick thighs and a plump and jiggly rear.

Compared to Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo X has a much more muscular and powerful physique, with broader shoulders, a thicker torso, and noticeably larger arms and legs. Her head is smaller and more streamlined in proportion to her body, with a prominent horn-like extension projecting from her forehead. The purple tube-like structure from the back of Mewtwo’s head is absent, replaced by a thinner, pointed extension running down her back. her body remains pale lavender, but it gains darker purple areas around her shoulders, forearms, thighs, and feet. Her tail is shorter and thicker, with a rounded, bulb-like shape at the end.

Compared to Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo Y is significantly smaller and more slender, with an extremely streamlined, almost skeletal-looking physique. Her head is smaller and more angular, with a long, pointed crest extending backward from the top of her head and a small horn-like protrusion on her forehead. Her arms and legs are thinner, while her hands and feet become more elongated and claw-like. The tube-like structure behind Mewtwo’s head is absent, and her neck and upper torso are more exposed and streamlined. Her tail becomes much shorter and thinner, ending in a small, pointed tip.

Shadow is way stronger and faster than Mewtwo.
