History Characters / ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehogTeamDark

* AdaptationalBadass: Inverted, Shadow is the most targeted of Sonic's teasings out of any continuity and is not as strong or as equally competent solo wise as he is in the games. He can rival Sonic, but also has badass decay follow him when fighting characters like Knuckles and most Sonic villans outside of Team Dark plots. Plus the Megaman/Sonic crossover was not the most pleasant to the Ultimate Lifeform.

* ReplacementGoldfish: How Commander Tower saw him - he wanted the more nimble and precise E-102 Gamma, but circumstances lead him to take up Omega instead.

--> '''Shadow''': What do you expect? New jokes?

* BloodKnight: He loves to fight Sonic with glee, and invites any challenge from anyone who can fight him on even grounds.

* PetTheDog: Gets a moment in ''Sonic Universe'' #38. He finds Hope sobbing after a meeting with Snively, distraught that she would never have a normal life or family again. In what doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, Omega holds her in his arms and lets her [[CryIntoChest cry into his chest plate]].

* AdaptationalWimp: Its downplayed as he's still pretty clearly one of the most powerful beings in the setting, but a bit toned down so he's not an InvincibleHero (Like say, [[Anime/SonicX his Anime incarnation]])
* AdaptationalBadass: While not as badass as his main counterpart was, he doesn't undergo the BadassDecay his main counterpart has gone through, still being able to keep up with Sonic in combat. (Unlike his main and ''Boom'' versions, who has gone through a few defeats and endures constant jokes at his expense.)

--> '''Shadow''': "Deny me all you want but with this emerald, even a god must bow down to the ultimate life form!"

* BadassBoast: --> "Deny me all you want but with this emerald, even a god must bow down to the ultimate life form!"

* BadassAdorable: He's rather angst-ridden, and combined with his red eyes, that can make him look like a sad puppy at times. Lampshaded, of course.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Was more morally dubious and self serving before the reboot.[[note]]One notable event was knowingly putting Blaze's world in danger by stealing her Sol Emeralds[[/note]] Fortunately, the series dialed back on this post-reboot and she's more in line with her video game counterpart.

* {{Badass}}: The poster-boy for this trope. It takes {{Physical God}}s to take him down.
** BadassBiker: Owns his own motorcycle issued by GUN. Even though it's pointed out that he doesn't really ''need'' it, he still takes good care of it.

* ButtMonkey: Shadow gets teased more than his game counterpart pointing out his angsty grump side as humor. Althrough this also happens a few times in the games, Shadow was more rational about while here he's a bit more hot-headed. Plus he's not as strong or independent in stomping on stronger oponents or enemies like Feist or ADAM and needs help to bring them down.

* HeroicSacrifice: Did this once, and would have done it twice if not for Sonic.

* AdaptationalBadass: While not as badass as his main counterpart was, he doesn't undergo the BadassDecay his main counterpart has gone through, still being able to keep up with Sonic in combat. (Unlike his main and ''Boom'' versions, who has gone through a few defeats and endures constant jokes at his expense.

* TheComicallySerious: His extremely uptight and serious personality is poked fun at by various characters, mainly Sonic and Rouge. Althrough this also happens in the games, in these it's far more exaggarated.

* ButtMonkey: Shadow gets teased more than his game counterpart pointing out his angsty grump side as humor, this only happens a few times in the games. Plus he's not as strong or independent in stomping on stronger oponents or enemies like Feist or ADAM and needs help to bring them down.

* TheComicallySerious: His extremely uptight and serious personality is poked fun at by various characters, mainly Sonic and Rouge.

* TheComicallySerious: The difference between him here and his game counterpart is that his extremely uptight and serious personality is poked fun at by various characters, mainly Sonic and Rouge.

* TheComicallySerious: His cold robotic demeanour mixed with his kooky, hung ho mindset make him such.

* {{Badbutt}}: Obviously the reason fangirls pick up this comic.

* ButtMonkey: Shadow gets teased more than his game counterpart pointing out his angsty grump side as humor, this never happens in the games. Plus he's not as strong or independent in stomping on stronger oponents or enemies like Feist or ADAM and needs help to bring them down.
