Description While technically a "recolor" of my Alex Cosmos character, THIS one is unique.

 Inspired by my own theory that the Power Pony characters (who bare a striking resembance to the Mane Six)
 are based on the Mane Six, I "created" a new character: Phantom Pony.


 Presumably, after the events of my story 'My Little Pony: Beyond Life and Death'
 in which Alex Cosmos helped to save Equestria from the Ghost Invasion led by King Sombra, and his own father.

 the writer of the Power Ponies comic saw fit to write in a "Ghost Pony Hero"
 by creating a new character based upon Alex Cosmos himself.


 So, here is: "Phantom Pony"

 for the Superhero counterpart to Alex, I decided to make Phantom Pony's resemblance to Danny Phantom
 a bit more obvious than what I did before with Alex Cosmos (which was "mild", as far as I am concerned.)

 the costume is pretty much Danny's suit (albeit without an emblem, which itself references Season One Danny)
 same Black-and-White color scheme, same jumpsuit, same belt and boots..everything.


 Though, I DID stray from giving him white hair (I made him blonde, instead.) though, he still has green eyes.

 the blue fur MAY be a reference to Vlad, or even Dan..OR, maybe I just felt like making him blue.


 as one can tell from his expression, Phantom's personality a different from Alex.

 Well..This is based on the Power Ponies own personalities being slightly different from their Mane Six counterparts
 (Ex: Fili-Second likes to have HERSELF entertained, rather than entertaining others.)


 For Phantom's case, he's a bit like Ben Tennyson from 'Ben 10' in that he loves to be a hero, and save ponies..

 ..but, isn't quite sure if he's being a Hero for the sake of doing the right thing,
 OR, if he just does it for the thrill of BEING a hero, and doing extrordinary things.


 Due to the fact that he IS Alex Cosmos counterpart,
 he and Masked Matter-Horn (Twilight Sparkle's Counterpart) have a liking towards each other.


 I am thinking of maybe doing a spinoff story one day where the Power Ponies and the Mane Six meet,
 and, maybe have Alex Cosmos and Phantom Pony work together (and, deal with each other's differences)

 BUT, this is still a new thing. and, I haven't decided upon it, yet.

You know, I think Alex Cosmos and Phantom Pony will have a conversation about heroics similar to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in "The Avengers".

You mean both Phantom Pony and Alex Cosmos are voiced by Jason Marsden?

I suppose.

Given that the Power Ponies themselves have only appeared in a comic book (and, I mean an ACTUAL comic book)
even WE aren't sure if their voices are the same as the Mane Six and Spike (we have to assume it is.)


So, until then..Yeah; PP and Alex have the same voice.

I could picture Alex and Phantom Pony constantly stepping on each others hooves while fighting a bad guy due to their different personalities.

Is Phantom Pony's backstory similar to Danny Phantom's story?

Since the Power Ponies themselves have never been given any type of origin, I never bothered to think up a backstory for Phantom.

Until I make up my mind, everyone is welcome to just GUESS.

He looks great. The whole spin-off thing sounds cool. You should totally do it.

pretty funny
Maybe you should give him a mask. (I know you based him on Danny phantom, but it's just a suggestion)

MetroXLR In reply to EpicCrasher [2014-11-29 18:25:33 +0000 UTC]

I considered that. But, then I remembered that not everypony in the Power Ponies group wear masks (Fili-Second, and Zapp for instance)
and, Phantom Pony's character is that he is a hero, and wants EVERYPONY to know who he is.

So, he choose not to wear a mask.

Now I envision Phantom Pony being arrogant but wanting the best for everyone

(Scrap that. I envision him having a sonic the hedgehog personality)

He seems to be similar to Tony Stark AKA Iron Man.

Phantom certainly gives me an excuse to shut up Alex most harshest critics.
who dislike how timid, and overall "nice" that he is.

I remember a joke that I had EG Rainbow Dash make regarding Alex Cosmos: "Sheesh!, this guy could out shy Fluttershy!"
Well, while Alex is similar to Fluttershy, Phantom is more similar to Rainbow Dash herself (if you know what I mean.)
