Why does he look like Sonic?
Up to this point, it hasn’t been confirmed why Robotnik made his Ultimate Life Form a hedgehog. Shadow’s resemblance to the blue blur has gotten Sonic into some trouble, however, as the government mistook Shadow for the hero during his life of crime. For now, the predominant theory is that Shadow may be based on a prophetic mural depicting Sonic’s future that appears on Angel Island, but that’s just a theory. Fans are speculating that Sonic X Shadow Generations may end up confirming this, based on images of Robotnik’s journal included with physical copies of the game.
