My top ten favorite and least favorite sonic characters. (Alexis the Hedgebat style.)

Black Doom. (Least Favorite) #4

Okay, so Black Doom. Um. I'm sorry, what? This character feels so unnecessary. Also, this may be a coincidence but why do characters with explained back stories have to be aliens? Seriously, Shadow and The Babylon Rogues are both stated to be aliens. I think Amy is supposed to be an alien too but that's for a whole different story. Alright, I can kind of buy the Babylon Rogues being aliens because they're the first bird/mobian things we've seen and all but why does Black Doom need to exist. I don't care if they wanted to explain how Shadow got his powers and where he came from but I feel like that was totally uncalled for.
To be honest when I was making this list I forgot that Black Doom was even a thing. Seriously, if you look at him he doesn't look like he's a Sonic character in the slightest. At least something like chaos looks somewhat like a Sonic character until it gets all big. It also makes you wonder if Black Doom will have something to do with what happens to Shadow in the future. Yes, I'm aware that the events of Sonic 06 regarding Iblis don't exist anymore in the timeline.
HOWEVER just because Iblis is removed doesn't really determine if Omega will still capture Shadow in the future or if that timeline is now gone too. I mean after you play Sonic 06, you still have Shadow's whole team in the end including the Omega they received in the future. So.. does that mean Shadow will still get captured or not? If he does I assume it'll be because of Doom as he was the reason GUN didn't really trust Shadow in Shadow The Hedgehog. Long story short, Doom just feels out of place and I just want to get this one out of the way quickly.
