User blog comment:Loolveus/Characters with similarities to other villains: Shadow the Hedgehog/@comment-32683502-20190524215800

I think you forgot to add Giygas, since Shadow is very similar and might even be completely inspired by him. Both were alien related creatures who were raised by a female named Maria and were eventually forced to seperate permanently from them. Both also show similar feelings of greif/guilt at their loss of Maria, as well as hatred for humanity, while only Giygas chose to succumb those feelings and his own immense power, causing him to become the Universal Cosmic Destroyer. They also both have a black and red color scheme.
