The Shadow Sphere is a 10 foot sphere, existing at the center of [[The Ink]] on [[Earth 44]]. Its exact nature is largely unknown, other than its abilities to generate [[The Ink]] and connect in a fashion similar to a [[Portal]] to various other extreme and dangerous realities, such as that inhabited by the [[Preacher]]. It appears to have the ability to corrupt individuals who Individuals that pass through a Shadow Sphere, using it as a portal[[Portal]] are corrupted, which turns their either through the influence of the sphere itself, or more likely through the corruption caused by [[The Hunger]] and the [[Shadow Entities]]. The corruption induced causes physiological changes, such as turning the eyes of the individual black, gives as well as giving them significantly increased strength . Additional psychological changes are also induced, causing reckless, mindless and makes them particularly dangerousanimalistic behavior.
Whether the Shadow Sphere is a malicious entity in its own right, or simply a construct is currently unknown. [[The Sword]] knows of its existence, as does [[Cristina Thompson]], who used her mental control of him to attempt to deploy troops through it when it connected to the reality that the [[Preacher]] had escaped to, which was filled with blood and mountains of corpses.
The rebellion on [[Earth 44]] resulted in the retreat of [[The Sword]] and many of his troops through the Shadow Sphere, which turned them into the [[Black-eyed Army]]
