Black Doom
First Appearance: Shadow the Hedgehog

Black Doom is the complete shits of a villain and is so ungodly stupid.

He's got a dumb double bladed head and three eyes and dresses like a floaty space monk in bland colors.

So Black Doom comes to Earth and finds Gerald Robotnik and the well-meaning doctor decides to work with a guy named BLACK DOOM to creat the Ultimate Lifeform (that's Shadow) to help heal Maria Robotnik's illness. Shadow is created from this dumb bastard's blood and has the power to do Chaos Control as a result. But Gerald realized that Black Doom was evil, somehow, and decided to make the Eclipse Cannon to destroy the Black Comet (Black Doom's traveling planet/space station thing) (which he later used to try to destroy Earth instead), because Black Doom would come back 50 years later because I guess he'll want to destroy Earth then, but not the first time for some reason?

Anyway, Black Doom and his Black Arms come to Earth and Black Doom spends the whole game trying to manipulate Shadow into being EVIL and trying to convince him to join him and destroy the world. He does manage to use the Eclipse Cannon to almost kill the President of San Francisco and start taking over the world.

Now that Black Doom is ready to take over the world Shadow decides to stop him because he's the only one immune to whatever Black <insert thing here> takeover McGuffin happens to stop everyone else. Just as Shadow is about to give up hope and all of that because of Black Doom's words, the Chaotix play a well-timed video made by Gerald and Maria telling Shadow to kill Black Doom and so he killed Black Doom, but not before Black Doom turns into DEVIL DOOM.

Needless to say, Black Doom is terrible. He's around for only this game but he does a bunch of cryptic bullshit all game attempting to be manipulative but the whole plot of this game is stupid, making everything that Black Doom attempts also stupid. And it's so over the top for a Sonic game and he comes across as absurd and not a good villain for Shadow at all. Even freaking Mephiles was a better villain for Shadow than this guy.

Black Doom will not be missed. He should be forever forgotten about and chances are he will be. There's nothing redeeming about this mess of a character.
