Spike Lee thinks his name is racist.

Black Shadow is a vile gangster. He does most things people would expect from a nasty scoundral; he robs, extorts and kills for hire. His partner in crime is Blue Bacchus, a gunman with a similar personality and moral fiber.

Notes

• Black Shadow's function reads, in Japanese, "Uchuu Gyangu" which translates to "Space Gangster". The common misconception that he is a member of the "Space Mafia" is due to a mistranslation some many years ago in which "gangster" was interpreted as "Mafia". Big difference.
