A shadow of the past, using the shadow of Shadow to become a shadowed shadow of Shadow... oh geeze... XD He is also the counterpart to Iblis and a half of Solaris. Easily one of the most memorable parts of this game, and one of the few reasons we all haven't been able to forget this story ever happened. Mephiles has managed to, in his short time as a character, earn such an interest in the enigma that is him, that he has been featured in tens upon thousands of various fanart, fan videos, fan flashes, game mods, and anything else you may think of. It's clear that he's managed to be in a similar popularity and even dislike as the Tails Doll, both having only one sole appearance in a not so canon game, and yet spawned out as being portrayed in every which way to please the fans... Since his debut in 2006, Mephiles has managed to remain in the series on some for or another: :bulletpurple: He, along with Elise, Iblis, the Duke of Soleanna and several robot designs from Sonic 06, appeared as cards in Sonic Rivals 2, a near full year after Sonic 06 :bulletpurple: He, along with Elise and Iblis, returned as cameos in Sonic Generations, the next anniversary game. While Iblis was given the chance to have a more visual role, Mephiles was given a place in the credits as part of a set of archival images as well as Elise. As part of a History of Sonic moment. Meaning that Mephiles is still considered part of that. :bulletpurple: Mephiles was also given a cameo/speaking role in the Sonic Universe comics, as a convict at a Zone Prison. :bulletpurple: Mephiles was also given another card status in Sonic Tweet, a Japan only app in 2011.
