This man, I feel, is sooo sassy. He takes after Psych a LOT in this au except he has an air of a mean theater kid who’s entirely too used to getting the best roles in plays. This Phylange didn’t have to work for his own team- he was gifted into one.

It’s sorta hinted at in canon that the Thrilling Three was founded by Phylange, Apogee, and Dynaguy and that Psychwave, Everseer, and Plasmabolt founded the Phantasmics with Macroburst coming on after when they were taken in by Ever. To found a super team, you have to put in a lot of work and make sure you are good in the public’s eye- who start off not trusting you. Phylange, in this au, is coming into a pre-established, pre-trusted team: an A-level team. He doesn’t have to play as nice as he needs to normally.

In my designs, all of the Phantasmics are based off of legends (Ex. Macroburst: Robinhood, Everseer: King Arthur), so I based him off of something that would be slightly more recent in his time: the Phantom of the Opera!!!! Specifically the book published in 1910- his mask is a reference to that as well as his cape which would be the texture of a curtain and has curtain trim.. cause he’s a fancy bitch. He takes on Psychwave’s color scheme because Macroburst takes on Everseer’s and that seems common in Sidekick-hero dynamics in this world!!

Things that don’t change about him? He’s still kind. He still cares (somewhat) about his community. That never changes about his character. However his image and what he wants is now much more important because of the group he’s in now.
