Sonic personally thinks he's a better opponent than Knuckles.

The Rival: Lampshaded by Knuckles when Sonic was trashing the Chaotix.

Red Eyes, Take Warning: He can give some really nasty looks.

At the same time, he was engineered as a fully-grown organism, which means that, if you only count the years he wasn't in stasis, he acts and looks a lot older than he chronologically is. He was created more than 50 years before the present, but spent those years in cryogenic stasis, keeping him youthful.

Really 50 Years Old: He's simultaneously younger and older than he looks.

It allows him to lose focus on important matters while making irrational decisions and making grave mistakes.

Pride: Carries this from the games but unlike the games(He's more level headed and composed), doesn't seem to hold well for him forcing him to anger and frustration.

Naturally, Knuckles makes his objections pretty clear a few moments later. Best shown in the Total Eclipse arc when he tries to take custody of the Master Emerald rationalizing that its safer away from Angel Island during the current crisis.

Pragmatic Hero: Definitely not afraid to make unpopular decisions for the greater good.

He only uses them for Last Resort cases however.

Power Limiter: The rings around his arms which keeps his power in check.

Perpetual Frowner: It's more of a pout.

Only Sane Man: Usually plays this role in Team Dark.Not So Above It All: He might be as fast as Sonic, but he has a personal motorcycle that he really enjoys and maintains.My Greatest Failure: His first storyline in Sonic Universe, he takes it hard that he couldn't save Metal Sonic nor E-102 Gamma from their fates and piles it on after Feist outwits him and Rouge in getting a Chaos Emerald.Add Chaos Powers and direct access to the Chaos Force for maximum effect. Lightning Bruiser: Ties with Sonic as one of the most lethally fast and strong characters.Large Ham: He's much sillier than you would expect, at least compared to the games.Ki Manipulation: His Chaos Spear and Chaos Blast.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Far from being the friendliest character in the series, but he means well and values his companions.I Work Alone: He isn't really a social person and prefers his space.Immortal Immaturity: He's biologically 16, and he acts like it.Heroic Sacrifice: Did this once, and would have done it twice if not for Sonic stopping him despite his complete willingness to.Eventually Shadow settled in as a face working with GUN. Since Sonic Adventure 2 played out, he started as a villain, became neutral, then helped out Sonic and fought Eggman, and then went to work for Eggman. Heel–Face Revolving Door: Shadow would bounce around from hero to villain his lack of direction in life ironically reflecting the writers wondering what to do with him.Good Is Not Nice: The extremity of some of his efforts borders out and out villainous on occasion, but unlike his game self he feels remorse for his actions and tries to mitigate them.Scourge opted to flee than to fight him head on, and even Eggman is afraid of him. The Dreaded: Pretty much nobody that's not Sonic or Knuckles want to take him on.

The Dragon: Was one for Eggman before his Heel–Face Turn.Dark and Troubled Past: He's the only survivor of the massacre aboard the Space Colony Ark.Deadpan Snarker: As usually, Shadow has a dry and sarcastic sense of humor and is quick to fire back.The Comically Serious: His extremely uptight and serious personality is poked fun at by various characters, mainly Sonic and Rouge.Combat Pragmatist: When spin dashing and chaos powers don't do the job, he'll bash you with a hammer.Though his methods are still questionable and often extreme, he has become more and more virtuous and heroic as time goes by he also becomes much more compassionate, although his compassion is awfully nuanced. Character Development: After discovering his true purpose to be a loyal protector of the planet Mobius, this really changes Shadow.

Plus he's not as strong or independent in stomping on stronger opponents or enemies like Feist or ADAM and needs help to bring them down.

Butt-Monkey: Shadow gets teased more than his game counterpart pointing out his angsty grump side as humor.

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: With Hope pre-genesis wave.

Brainwashed and Crazy: While under the (brief) control of Black Death.

Shadow proceeded to Teleport Spam him for a few panels.

Berserk Button: When he and Knuckles fight in Part 3 of Total Eclipse, Knuckles mentions that Sonic puts up a better fight.

Brutal Honesty: As always, Shadow isn’t afraid to speak his mind and most likely won’t hold back on his opinions.

I am the union of ideals dark and benign but ultimately built in the name of love.
