all from left to right

The Shadow (1994) - reimagined to be an evil entity within Cranston

Shiwan Khan Final Phase (SNES) - after taking enough damage, Khan turns himself into the Shadow and he's purple

Lefty (Comics) - robber that disguises himself as The Shadow

Crawler Gorgan (The Cobra) - during the end of the story, The Cobra uses this guise to rob in front of police

Fake Shadow (City of Fear) - lures Harry Vincent only to trap and torture him

Brad Thomas (Behind the Mask) - impersonates him and kills his victims with lethal injection

Zombi Shadow (Voodoo Trail) - during a confrontation with Dr. Mocquino The Shadow gets electrocuted and goes "under his power" (ref is from the comics but art is modeled after Cartier's art, illustrator of that issue)

The Shadow (80s DC) - idk he's just an asshole like he needed to be here for some reason

Pieces Poster Creature - not a character but the Spanish poster for Pieces features slightly distorted Kaluta artwork and gave it a chainsaw

Lamont Cranston (International Crime) - not evil but a little misleading and mischievous

Prof. Carter (Radio) - learns his identity and uses his invisibility to use for murder (modeled after Frank Readick who came back for this episode)

Batman (Detective Comics #27) - dead horse of course

George Corbal and Sparkler Medlin (The Third Shadow) - a criminal and a gambler who creates confusion with three Shadows on the loose

The Shadow (Archie) - an anti-Shadow in terms of design, also resembles an Invincible variant anyways
