Is your shadow self evil?
The concept of a shadow self emerged from a psychologist named Carl Jung. All those aspects of our repressed selves form our shadow self. Some like to refer to this as our ‘dark side’. However, the shadow self is not morally good or evil. Shadow Behavior is simply a negative – and often automatic, unintentional and unconscious – response to events, people and situations. Different people exhibit different Shadow Behaviors. You may act defensively, resist change, manipulate others or act aggressively. Your shadow self might show up when you’re triggered, in your relationships, and through varying levels of anxiety and depression, she says. And when this seemingly dark side does rise up, it might reveal something about your personality that’s worth a closer look. A shadow is a dark shape that is formed when an object blocks a source of light. On a sunny day, practically everything casts a shadow — including you. Shadow can also act as an action, like when you shadow, or follow, someone on the first day at a new job. Carl Jung identified four main archetypes—the persona, the shadow, the anima or animus and the self. These are a result of collective, shared ancestral memories that may persist in art, literature and religion but aren’t obvious to the eye. These recurring themes help us understand the Jungian archetypes.
What is the opposite of shadow self?
The shadow self, as he called it, is one aspect of our unconscious – the instinctive part of our psyche that we try to repress. It represents the direct opposite of our persona – the public face we like to present to the world. In analytical psychology, the shadow (also known as ego-dystonic complex, repressed id, shadow aspect, or shadow archetype) is an unconscious aspect of the personality that does not correspond with the ego ideal, leading the ego to resist and project the shadow. Shadow’s trademark move is Chaos Control, which allows him to warp time and space. Shadow uses it mainly to transport matter and/or to slow or stop time. The move actually allows the user to manipulate time and space to warp across space or move through or across time. While shadow work can be a very positive and transformative experience, it’s important to know the potential risks involved. As mentioned previously, shadow work can be emotionally challenging. You may have to face traumas or difficult past experiences, which can be tough to handle.
Why does shadow become evil?
When Galen found out the potential of the Sphere and convinced the Emperor to preserve the Sphere, Shadow was very angry and disappointed.

This turned Shadow into the enemy of Dynasty and caused him to part ways with Galen. Shadows are important historically, for they provided early evidence that light travels in straight lines. Humans constantly, but unconsciously, use shadows to judge the shape of objects in their environment. Yet Shadow is the most powerful character because of his lab origins. Gerald crafted him very carefully and made him practically immortal, so he could carry out his mission of healing without any major obstacles. So while Shadow can be stopped, he cannot be physically defeated, which makes him the strongest character.
