Knight Shade: Michael Jackson or Prince?

[Leave a Whisper]

He has a higher voice and does the moonwalk. He dresses and does his mane more like Prince. Not a single person can agree on who Knight Shade, the first pop culture pony is supposed to be.  Could even be both.

Who do you think he is?

I think he is a mix of both

He's "Generic 80s guy MTV star pony". Prince, MJ and his song style is closest to the Fat Boys than anything else from the time. He's basically the most generic mid-80s thing you can have this side of Autograph's "Turn Up the Radio".

If he had been female, he would have been dressed like Madonna with Cyndi Lauper hair and sounding like Suzanna Hoffs.

I'd say he's a mix of both.

I'll probably always see him more as Michael Jackson, because I'm more familiar with him. But also because someone once hired me to draw him to look even more like MJ and so that is seared into my brain.

I always considered him more Prince, MJ honestly never even occurred to me- but yeah he's probably intended to be a generic mix
