As mentioned before, Professor Gerald Robotnik was charged with the project of researching immortality. However, he had some troubles in his experiments, and in order to achieve his goals, he contacted the Black Comet, home to Black Doom and the Black Arms. He made a deal with Black Doom: if Black Doom helped him with his research, he promised to deliver to the alien the seven Chaos Emeralds. Using Black Doom's DNA, they created Shadow the Hedgehog, who would both aid Professor Gerald's research and help Black Doom get the Emeralds. Soon after it is revealed that Gerald Robotnik somewhat discovered why Black Doom desired these emeralds, which involved the annihilation of all living beings (and androids) on Earth. Thus, Professor Gerald created the eclipse cannon, capable of destroying the Black Comet, and had depended on Shadow to execute this plan.

However, others theorize that this is not the case. They believe most of what Black Doom told Shadow were more lies. They believe he may have helped, but no part of Black Doom was actually used. The main arguement for this is the fact that Gerald said that he needed to create an entity that could use the Black Arms own powers against them. That is why Shadow was created along with the Eclipse Cannon in order to prevent this plot planned 50 years in advance.
