King Sombra is one of the main antagonists in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic series. He first appeared as the secondary antagonist of "Siege of the Crystal Empire" arc.

Biography[]

This comic version of Sombra is more of a fallen hero type. This is because before he became corrupted he was good, as was a filly he was friends with named Radiant Hope. They both cared for each other deeply. They approached the crystal heart when he went with her to The Crystal Empire. Radiant saw she would be a Princess, but Sombra saw something horrible that would happen to him.

When Radiant Hope reappeared she decided to be by his side as his empress, to see what a ruler her friend could become. She saw that he became a horrific monster. He tried to tell her since that vision he refuse to give up his dream.

But Radiant Hope made him see that she gave up her princess dream to be normal, because she was still in love with him. When they go see Rabia, Radiant Hope then took the crystal heart from her bag. Sombra looked at his reflection. Rabia urged him to smash it but instead he unleashed his power. He thanked Radiant Hope for allowing him to see the light, but before he completely disappeared, Radian Hope and another pony save him, and he became good again. After said goodbye to the ponies, he and Radiant Hope race off in the forest.

In a alternate reality Sombra has a counterpart of the same name who seemed to be a good king just before he was corrupted by Rabia. he was friendly and loved by all of his people and Princess Celestia was also in love with him, but he sacrificed himself and got brainwashed, he became evil and corrupted, keeping the balance of being "normal" Sombra's opposite.

King Sombra serves as the secondary antagonist in IDW's 13th story arc and the main protagonist in Fiendship Is Magic Issue #1.

Trivia[]

  • King Sombra's backstory in "Friendship is Magic" and it's follow-up story "Siege of the Crystal Empire" do not line up with the cartoon version's personality and fate, where he was thought to be destroyed instead of reformed. Thus, his backstory and reformation are considered non-canon.
