I'm gonna plop Storm into Shadow Generations' white space bc of course I am
From a meta sense we'd be coming full circle because the reason he even exists as a character really is the original Generations
And in Shadow Generations there's a stage that ties into a game that's the whole reason he began interacting with gameverse/IDW verse
If he was in-game I think he'd be hidden off somewhere like a piece of trivia for you to find, because he really Really doesn't belong there like the other characters do
In-universe I just find it fun. Because he wouldn't be current day Storm. A version of his universe exists in base Gens in the form of the modern City Escape stage, because that universe is the one where the GUN truck has saws and jets (because Storm put them there)
So the version of Storm that's in Shadow's white space is the one from the point in time where that chase with Sonic happened. That's like a 19-20 year old Storm and not the 'current day' one that's 35
The reason I find it fun is because it means Shadow sees this stranger there, and Storm's pretty friendly with him and even seems glad to see him. Given the nature of what's going on, Shadow figures it's someone he'll meet in the future
Cut to that actually happening. It's clearly the same guy but Shadow's now seeing someone that's closed off towards him, and seems outright anxious to be near him. He has to wonder- what the fuck happened?
