In the comic, it involves aliens catching him when he fell.

In the games... well, we'll have to play that Shadow game to find out. I can't wait *coughit'llsuckcough*.

Basically, Shadow was saved by aliens (the Bem to be exact) if you're referring to the Archie Sonic The Hedgehog comic. It was detailed in Sonic The Hedgehog #124.

SPOILERS!

Yep, and they helped him retain his superform, so that he could help them fight an enemy, the Xorda. Using Chaos Control, Super Shadow once again flies through space and attacks the Xorda's ship... but fails.

Those are the events leading up to landmark issues 124-125.

EE

haha. that last line reads just like something out of a solicitation.

If Archie ever has a plothole, they fill it with aliens and alternate universes, as well as robots.

It gets a little wearing after the millionth time though, especially since Tommy's just become Super Turtle.

Did you just say Super Turtle? Yipe.

Yeah, Super Tommy or Nano Tommy or something else totally useless that will be forgotten for a very long period of time and then brought up at some random point when all the current readers are gone and those who are left have forgotten that story and then they'll say, "WAIT! This was NOT the real Tommy! It was a fake Tommy they rescued from that factory, after discovering that Tommy was a fake the first time!"

...or something like that.

BTW, how DID Tommy survive that blast in #117?

The magic of bad comic book writing.

In other words, exactly what I said last post? Created, but then forgotten, only to return when everyone's forgotten about him?

Yeah, that sounds right.

If I remember right, after 117 he survived by being thrown a mile or so away from the building by the explosion, after hiding in his shell...
