I have two things that seem like oversights to point out regarding how we currently treat power cores on this site
1: Unsupported exponential boosts that go against the multiplier page. I have no problem with individual power cores being regarded as a 2× multiplier. Where I fail to see the logic is that being equipped with 3 power cores should result an 8× multiplier. The logic behind this being that 2×2×2=8. Problem is, we have no evidence to suggest that power cores multiply the power granted by other power cores already equipped. As such, the 2× multipliers should be added to the result rather than multiplied. Not only is this much more reasonable, but it also alligns a lot better with rules on the multiplier page. This would result in (2×base stats) × 3 = 6 times multiplier. Not a huge difference, but enough to make non-power core amped characters keeping with those with 3 power cores more logical.
Correction 1: After learning about how one shot gaps work on this wiki, I am no longer pushing for this downgrade.
2: Not all characters get power boosts from thier respective power cores. Just as many get speed boost and "fly" boosts (whatever that means). This IDW scan specifically says the RED power cores can double Zavok's strenght, but he also displays the blue and yellow cores on his monitor, which should logically double speed and flight respectively. The question only remains of what enhanced flight actually entails in this context. Is it flight speed, skill/maneuverabillity, or stamina? I'll leave that up to you guys. There are almost certainly clues in Sonic Heroes that I'm not aware of.
Correction 2: Power Cores also grant speed boosts. They are stated to amplify the user's physical characteristics. Not just their strenght. Starline highlighted Zavok's strenght specifically because he is a power type character, and red power cores are categorized as such a class when it comes to who can use them. Blue power cores also exist, being utilized by speed type character, and while they're shown to also grant a boost in power, it (and every other power core category) should boost speed to a similar degree. This is supported by Doctor Starline blitzing Team Chaotix by empowering himself with them.
Conclusion:
-Power cores, regardless of color now grant a 2x increase to the physical stats they are stated and shown to increase. In this case, power (as already accepted) and speed.
Since Shadow is stronger and faster than his Heroes self (with 3 blue power cores) by the time of his self titled game, he should now upscale in terms of strenght and speed to these Sonic Heroes multipliers, rather than just in strenght.
