It should be noted that the Shade does not need darkness to manifest his powers, as they come from within him.

Shade can steal the shadow powers from other shadow wielding characters:

Intangibility, of course:

I love the Starman series, and Shade is awesome.

Glad to see this.

shade is awesome. great job so far.

Thanks for the props fellas.


This is the first time the Shade ever manifested his powers, and he did so to kill a group of people who were trying to murder him:

Shade gets shot by a would be killer. He then dispatches this 'killer' with a knife-like construct fashioned from his own 'blood' :

Here are some examples of the Shade's more complicated constructs...

I always thought this guy was cool since I first saw him in the JLA cartoon (I think before it became JLU). Great thread.

I never knew much about him i think he's a cool character not good not bad in between.

Shade's shadow-powers allow him to create sentient creatures:

Here's another look at the "shadow-mass" Shade unleashed, in the process of devouring a planet:

Very nice work, I wasn't a fan of the character until I read this.

Cheers!

thank you! that's always nice to hear.

The forcefield around opal city was created by Culp inhabiting Shade's body.

Culp is that creepy looking dwarf Shade is stealing the shadows from in the above scans.

I believe the story is Culp and Shade met on the battlefield, WW2 I think, with hostilities towards each other and artillery fire blew them both to smithereens. Shade was the only one to reform from the shadows, Culp took refuge inside Shade. Ever since he took over Shade's body when he was exhausted and forced him to do his more evil or stupid looking acts to ruin his name with Shade not remembering any of it.

I believe the page where Culp is explaining has some pretty humorous pictures of Shade looking like a jackass in a Model-T made of shadows and trying to cut someone with giant shadow scissors.

Anyway, seeing as Shade now has the power Culp had and is as at least equal to Culp in manipulating the darkness, if not better, he could just as likely do it too.

So a retcon?

No, it was part of the story. The forcefield was part of Culps big coup. The Shade explaining how the city is sealed in is Culp possessing him.
