Powers:
Telepath: The Shadow is a telepath with the following abilities:
- Mental Invisibility: the Shadow can render himself invisible by simply willing the individuals not to see him with Am (50) ability. The Shadow cannot hide his own Shadow, or elements of his presence such as displacement of mass in water, etc.
- Hypnotic Control: The Shadow can implant hypnotic suggestions within a target with In (40) ability. Such suggestions can be long term depending on the FEAT result. With a Red FEAT, the Shadow can implant long term commands (As seen in the Street and Smith books, the Shadow Movie, and the radio shows).
- Iron Will: The Shadow can overcome his own pain with Am (50) intensity by using his powers on his own, as seen in the Shadow #1 (DC Comics 1984) in which he was working through two bullet wounds and a dislocated shoulder for over 72 hours without issue.
- Mental Probe: The Shadow can use his powers to 'see' events (As shown in later Dark Horse comics) with Rm (30) ability.
- Psi-Screen: The Shadow has a significant psi-screen, honed through years of study and skill with Mn (75) ability. The Shadow can resist attempts to break into his will (Although two significant occasions and individuals have done so easily).
- Total Recall: The Shadow has a near perfect memory (The Shadow DC comics 1970 - 1972).
The Shadow's Organization:
The Shadow maintains a series of operatives across the globe, all owing their lives to the Shadow (The Pulps and the 1994 Movie). These operatives are from every walk of life, ranging from Cab Drivers to Senators (The Shadow DC series in 1994). Only the Shadow's select operatives know the organization's members. The Shadow contacts his operatives with the phase 'The sun is shining' which the operative responds, 'But the ice is slippery'. (The Shadow movie, 1994). The organization is considered to have Am (50) resources, and can provide the Shadow with whatever he might require (usually information, but as seen in the Dark Horse comic, a plane and/or zepplin is not out of the question).
Contacts:
While the Shadow has many, many contacts worldwide, several contacts stand out:
Margo Lane: the Shadow's most trusted confidant and associate
Moe Schrevnitz: The Shadow's drive and #2
Harry Vincent
Dr. Rupert Sayre: The Shadow's personal Physician.
The Tulku: The Shadow's teacher (1994 Movie).
Chief Weston; While antagonistic, Chief Weston is more than willing to help the Shadow as need arises, albeit with issue (Radio Shows).
Just to name a few.
Limitations:
Secret ID: The Shadow's identity is secret. Whether the Shadow is really Kent Allard or Lamont Cranston, it makes little difference, only perhaps Margo Lane truly knows the truth. (For the purposes of this write-up and my personal take, he's Lamont Cranston).
Dark Secret: (1994 movie): Lamont Cranston was a criminal warlord in the near east called 'Ying-Ko' whose cruelty was unmatched. The Shadow is torn by these darker moments in his life, and keeps them very private
Enemies: While Shwan Kahn is the most famous, the Shadow's enemies run the gambit, and range from the common street thug to the supernatural.
Vigilante: The Shadow is a vigilante, often dispensing harsh justice to the criminals. As such, the Shadow is often condemned by the police.
The Weed of Crime bears bitter fruit....Crime does not pay......The Shadow knows.......
