Description: Even before becoming the Hell Phoenix, Dark Shadow was already a crime fighter. Working as a bounty hunter, he would relentlessly hunt down even the most notorious criminals. Once the target was located, he usually let his dual swords do the talking. During one such hunt, he was thrown into the very gates of Hell by a criminal organization bent on his destruction. However, Dark Shadow managed to barely escape. He quickly noticed that not only had his trip affected him, but a living symbiotic suit had latched onto him during his escape. Both of these effects resulted in him gaining incredible powers. The very thing that was ment to destroy him only made him stronger.

And how is he an anti-hero you may ask? Altough he fights for the greater good, his methods are a bit brutal, to say the least. He doesn't kill anyone, but is more than willing to do so when he believes a villain deserves such.

Oh, and did I mention he's not a pony? He's a griffon.
