Black Doom is a main antagonist of Shadow the Hedgehog. He is the leader of the Black Arms, a group of aliens who seek to conquer Earth. He is trying to collect the Chaos Emeralds so that the Black Arms can use Chaos Control to teleport their base, the Black Comet, to the Earth's surface, where it will release a toxic gas that paralyzes all living things except those with Black Arms DNA. He is also the main antagonist in the "Shadow Generations" story of Sonic X Shadow Generations.
History
Shadow the Hedgehog
In the final ending of Shadow the Hedgehog, Black Doom persuades Shadow to give him the Chaos Emeralds. When he does, the Black Comet is teleported down to Earth, and Sonic, Tails and the other supporting characters inside the Black Comet are paralyzed. Shadow opposes the Black Arms, and finds Black Doom. Black Doom tells Shadow that Professor Gerald needed Black Doom's help to create Shadow, but Black Doom asked for the seven Chaos Emeralds in return. Professor Gerald modified the Eclipse Cannon so when the Black Comet returned in fifty years it could be destroyed.
Shadow Generations
Black Doom seemingly returns in Shadow Generations as the antagonist and causes Shadow to go through his memories.

Trivia
- Black Doom (as Devil Doom) is the first and only villain Super Shadow battles and defeats on his own.
- Black Doom bears a resemblance to Wizeman, the main villian in the NIGHTS series. Both characters share a "blood relation" to their respective protagonists, wear similar clothing, and lack legs. The two also share a similar power, in that Black Doom can send his third eye to watch people, whereas Wizeman uses one of his many hands, which have eyes in the palms. In addition, Sonic Team leader Takashi Iizuka has been directly involved in both the NiGHTS series and the Shadow the Hedgehog game.
