Can male Unicorns become alicorn?

[AlienCrafter 34]

I know that Princess Celestia is an Alicorn and so is Luna, twilight, and Candace, and Flurry Heart, who I'm still confused about, anyway, they are all girls, so can a male become a alicorn or no, cause I know its like only royalty, but whats about shining armor, its a huge mystery that I want to hear ponies opinions on.

Because the show seems to be inclined towards mares instead of stallions. 

I get that the show is for mares, but do you think there is a possibility?

Why not? Theres no reason as to why there shouldn't. 

I guess that's fair, too bad we will never see one, or maby we will, who knows! it would be cool to see Shining armor become an alicorn!

Just now, Twilight Witch said:

Nah. I'd rather see Celestia and Luna's father. In my view they were born outside of Equestria, with 2 alicorn parents. Although we may never know.

Yeah! I just watched a theory episode on this! when Equestria was in chaos by Discord the theory said that princes' Luna and Celestia both went to Equestria to help, and now they can't leave because Equestria is mostly (Mostly) dependent on them.

Yeah, I watched that vid too a while back. 

Cool cool, so I'm glad its a possibility that we can have colt alicorns!

[Tacodidra 61,410]

Apparently, the French MLP comics featured an alicorn colt called Léon. But I'm not sure if it really counts, as it was not in the show itself.

As this topic pertains to the lore show it has been moved to Show Discussion. Thank you.

Not even Starswirl the Bearded ever became an alicorn.

It's just not something I can see happening.

well, based on the finale, at least SOMEONE who's male became an alicorn.

Thorax doesn't count. He's a changeling.

Spoiler

He's referring to season 7's finale. Whoever it is, they seem to have both a horn and wings, plus he's the ancestor to a line of ponies.

Where's your evidence to support that?

[AlbaTross 1,586]

Not to be pedantic, but given that Cadance was supposedly a Pegasus before becoming an Alicorn, the other pony races can become one too, and it's Celestia who chooses who does.  Flurry Heart was a shock because in order for her to be an Alicorn, Cadance, who was turned into one as opposed to being born as one, has to have had her entire DNA shifted to that of an Alicorn as opposed to her body simply mimicking the properties of one.

Anyways, as Celestia and probably Luna can make Alicorns, anything's possible.  However, as we have never seen a male Alicorn outside of some early French language material which I'm going to treat as C canon for all intents and purposes, I'm going to say that the answer is unknown.  Celestia and Luna had parents so it is reasonable to assume they were Alicorns...unless just their mother was.  

Celestia has yet to choose a stallion to become an Alicorn, so we don't know whether the male pony body lends itself well to such a transformation, and indeed it might be reasonable to assume that one's body has to have enough magic in it for such a transformation so therefore it would be out of reach for most mares too.  Of course that's all conjecture but is consistent with what we know.  You'd think Starswirl would have been high on the list potential candidates for Alicornhood, but that never happened for him.

Maybe Alicorns are kind of like the witches from The Golden Compass where only their fillies can become Alicorns, and where stallions don't have enough magic in them to be artificially transformed into one.  Who knows though?  On the flip side, just because we've never seen a male Alicorn doesn't mean they can't exist.  There's just too much we don't know.  What I've said above is possible, but unconfirmed.  For all I know the Alicorn race could be 50/50 mares and stallions.  What intrigues me the most is that they're not around and Equestria has no record of them except for Celestia and Luna, and later on, Cadance and Twilight and now Flurry Heart.  Maybe archaeology holds the answers?

[Patty Thundersnow 4,209]

I'd like to believe that male unicorns can. As mentioned above, Cadence was a pegasus when she became a princess. Twilight was herself a unicorn. So, I can believe that a male unicorn can be an alicorn, it just hasn't happened in the show yet.

The IDW staff said the Shadowlock comic was directly tying into the S7 finale, and the entire plot is about Shadowlock being terrified of his ancestor ever returning so he's trying to destroy all information about him to prevent him from ever being brought back; The image at the end is pretty clearly supposed to be his ancestor, so there you go.

See image.

 

Given how the pony of shadows is going to be the villain for the finale, its a pretty clear that this is the pony of shadows form.

This tells me so many things, so many answers, it all makes sense now.

You mean the story of the S7 finale is a story FROM THE PAST???????

WHAT THE HECK?????

No, not from the past. the finale will be in present time, the comics are just fleshing out what happened in the past when the person was first free, kind of like if they did a comic about what sombra did 1000 years ago before being beaten (which they did XD)

Gods. I hope this doesn't resort to Deus Ex Machina like last finale.

When has a villain ever been defeated in a way besides "All powerful magical blast that is barely explained and gained at the last second"?

Deus Ex Machina: An unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation, especially as a contrived plot device.

Given that, it's pretty blatant that last season's finale was way over the top with Deus Ex Machina.

[Steve Piranha 29,448]

Due to the show's main demographic, I doubt we'll see any stallions becoming alicorns, but that doesn't mean it can't happen, but it won't be shown. Also, it doesn't have to be an unicorn, Cadance used to be a pegasus 

[Hierok 11,832]

I like to believe they can. It is a little odd Equestria only has princesses, so I would like to see a male alicorn, except for if it is Prince Blueblood. 

[FizzyGreen 909]

Because in this show the only ones with personality seem to be the females and the males are pure mating material.

So, really, i think they could, but we'll never see it in the show.
