Shadow the Hedgehog without a doubt. Apparently, this game was supposed to be about Sonic wielding a gun with the request of children through emails. However, Yuji Naka thought this was unacceptable for Sonic to wield one, so he decided to have Shadow wield a gun instead. There you go, that's how this game was born ladies and gents.
He at least acted a bit more like himself in Sonic 2006 with the help of Shiro Maekawa who undid all of the sins directed towards Shadow by Takashi Iizuka himself. This Shadow is what I like, a person who's cool instead of the stereotype every boys anime has. His own game however, damaged his reputation and character in a severe way.
I also wonder if parents got miffed at seeing a Sonic game with swearing in it, since children aren't allowed to hear that kind of content. This was after all supposed to be a teen game as well, so that could be it.
