Summary

Black Doom (ブラック・ドゥーム Burakku Dūmu) is an antagonist within the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, the primary antagonist within Shadow the Hedgehog, and the being who created the Black Arms legion over two thousand years ago. While the alien tyrant would occasionally visit Earth, checking on the planet and preparing it to become livestock through the Prosperity Ritual while also terrorizing local populations,, they were unable to conquer it due to their home-- the Black Comet-- being unable to withstand the resistance of a planet's atmosphere.

Fifty years before the present day, however, the callous leader of the Black Arms would form a tentative alliance with one of the greatest scientific minds in a bid to receive assistance in finding the Chaos Emeralds; Professor Gerald Robotnik, who needed aid in creating the Ultimate Lifeform due to genetic limitations. Together, they would make Doom's scion by creating Shadow the Hedgehog from his blood. The threat Black Doom possessed to the planet would cause Gerald Robotnik to secretly prepare; the next time the Black Comet would make its regular visit after another 50 years, he would use both Shadow and the Eclipse Cannon to destroy them. However, after G.U.N. raided the Ark and killed Maria Robotnik in the process, Professor Gerald's plan was lost during his descent to madness and grief.

Black Doom's return happened concurrently with an amnesiac Shadow the Hedgehog struggling to remember his past and identity after the events of Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, allowing the alien tyrant to manipulate the black hedgehog into gathering the seven Chaos Emeralds and putting him in a conflict of motives in a desperate search for the truth. After Shadow stood up to the warlord by the end of the Black Arms invasion, Black Doom transformed into his true form in an attempt to enact the Prosperity Ritual; Devil Doom. His plan would be thwarted, however, as the Black Arms progenitor would be defeated by Super Shadow; and with him, the Black Comet would be destroyed by the Eclipse Cannon like Professor Gerald had planned.

Within Sonic X Shadow Generations, Black Doom returns in a new body using a Black Arms larva that withstood the test of time aboard the Space Colony Ark. In a new bid for power, he uses the opportunity of all space-time being erased by the Time Eater in an attempt to restore himself to reality. In a last attempt to use Shadow, he aimed to rebirth himself within the Ultimate Lifeform. If both were to be accomplished, he would once again wreak untold horrors upon the world.

Attack Potency: Solar System level (Stated to be a powerful enemy at the time. Doom considers Diablon as mere scrap iron without its electromagnetic barrier, a G.U.N. mecha powered by a Chaos Emerald). Low Multiverse level as Devil Doom (Put up a fight against Adventure Super Shadow, withstanding several attacks from him) | Complex Multiverse level (6-D. Noted to have terrifying power. Caused and passively sustained a time anomaly that brought Maria and Gerald to White Space. With all of space-time verbatim stated to be erased, the only time dimension to manipulate is hypertime. Was referred to as a threat to all of creation), higher over time (As Shadow progressed in strength, so did Doom as a result of their linked blood), far higher as Devil Doom (Fought Evolved Doom Shadow, who had gained all of his Doom Powers and become complete. ), far higher as Neo Devil Doom (Much stronger than before, putting up an even better fight against Evolved Doom Shadow). Low Multiverse level for Doom's Eye alone (Can harm Modern Shadow with its lasers)

Speed: Massively FTL+ (Doom Eye can warn Adventure Shadow of obstacles in the Lightspeed Circuit and chase his normal movement. His main body fought both him & his partner simultaneously). Infinite as Devil Doom (Kept up with Adventure Super Shadow, who is equal to Adventure Super Sonic) | Infinite (Able to keep pace with Modern Shadow), higher as Devil Doom (Faster than before. Kept up with Evolved Doom Shadow), far higher as Neo Devil Doom (Faster than as Devil Doom)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Comparable to Adventure Shadow). Higher as Devil Doom | At least Class M (Doom created a new body using a Black Arms spore and was physically comparable to Modern Shadow). Immeasurable as Devil Doom (Should be superior to the Devil Doom of the past), far higher as Neo Devil Doom (Much stronger than before)

Striking Strength: Solar System level. Low Multiverse level as Devil Doom | Complex Multiverse level, higher over time, far higher as Devil Doom, even higher as Neo Devil Doom

Durability: Solar System level (Mocks Shadow's power as he tanks his attacks, with Adventure Sonic, Adventure Rouge and Adventure Vector advising to find a weak spot). Low Multiverse level as Devil Doom (Withstood multiple attacks from Adventure Super Shadow's, who couldn't do notable damage to him except for his eye) | Complex Multiverse level (Comparable to his attack potency), higher over time, far higher as Devil Doom (More resilient than before. Able to withstand several of his attacks reflected back at him), even higher as Neo Devil Doom (Withstood several attacks from Evolved Doom Shadow, even as his weak spot was targeted). Low Multiverse level for Doom's Eye alone (Withstood a few strikes from Shadow, who already gained 2 Doom Powers, though was ultimately defeated somewhat easily). Resurrection makes Doom's Eye difficult to kill (As easily as Shadow killed Doom's Eye, a replacement was sent in its stead)

Stamina: Superhuman

Range: Extended Melee Range normally; Tens of Meters with his melee range as Devil Doom; Hundreds of Meters with projectiles; Planetary with Telepathy (Communicated with people all across the Earth); Planetary with the Black Comet's paralyzing gas overtime. With Chaos Control: Interdimensional to Low Multiversal with Teleportation. Up to Low Complex Multiversal with Time Stop (6-D Potency. Should scale to Shadow due to Doom's mastery of Chaos Control, which enables Shadow to halt time in White Space) | Extended Melee Range normally; Tens of Meters with his melee range as (Neo) Devil Doom; Hundreds of Meters with projectiles; Planetary with Telepathy (Gave Shadow hallucinatory nightmares from his place aboard the Ark); Interdimensional with Reality Warping (Capable of freely messing with an alternate dimension areas of his own creation), up to Low Complex Multiversal (Turned White Space red and began to alter reality within it after Shadow collected all Doom Powers. Stated by Gerald Robotnik to have been messing with Shadow's section of White Space, and was referred to as a threat to all creation)

Standard Equipment: N/A | N/A

• Optional Equipment: The Chaos Emeralds | N/A
• Can Summon: The Black Comet and the Black Arms | Black Arms and Robots

Intelligence: Gifted (When allied with Shadow, can give him useful tactical advice. Manipulated Shadow in order to complete his plans. The Black Arms manipulate unknown weapons incomprehensible to modern science, with Black Doom referring to G.U.N mechs as "mere children's toys" and Dr. Eggman as a foolish scientist. Led the Black Arms invasion of Earth and was quickly overwhelming much of the planet, driving many of the world's major cities to ruin within the first night)

Weaknesses: Black Doom can be overconfident. His Doom Eye is his weak spot. Doom's self-resurrection process takes a considerable amount when using a Black Leech, as they're the Black Arms' larvae. | Same as before. The "Cells" he uses to attack are far less durable than his body.
