so Shadow is technically eggman's grandfather because if you think about it (I advise you to) then you will realize that since Gerald created shadow and Gerald is eggman's great grandfather Shadow comes from the generation where eggman's grandparents where born, making Shadow eggman's grandfather. Maria, i have no idea. well never mind, she's eggman's cousin, because Gerald is her great grandfather as well, and they are not siblings. -Shadow nerd/fangirl; the more you talk, the harder I want to hit you!
