Thanks for the fun ride.

How strong is The Shadow exactly? Is there anything keeping keeping his power level in check?

Like the Spectre, he's as strong as the story needs him to be.

Fresh OC.

I wonder if it's possible to make The Shadow movie for modern audiences. It doesn't seem like he's a character that works outside his original time era. Not taking place in the 30s would feel weird for this character.

Thank you pulp anon

Depends. In the original pulps he didn't have actual superpowers, he was just extremely skilled and trained at what he did. There were some hints here and there that he might have some terrible secrets and his mortality was called into question several times, but that's about it.
The radio show gave him invisibility and telepathic abilities ala-Spock, and every episode he had some kind of new ability with it until they dialed it down. But the writer of the pulps was forced to insert those powers into them.

And since then it varies. Sometimes his powers are really limited, sometimes he actually is immortal, other times he can hypnotize entire crowds. He had premonition abilities in the Garth Ennis run. The movie made him a straight-up Jedi complete with telekinetic abilities at the end.
He's as strong as the story needs him to be, but he is really goddamn powerful.

You wouldn't have to remove him from the 30s, though. Just make the aesthetics a little more timeless like Batman 89 did and update the character a little and it can be done.
