Source for Discord Intangibility?

7,095

Intangibility is listed as one of Discord's powers in his profile. Yet there is no indication of source or any link confirming that. So where did it come from? Cause that seriously sounds fishy.

Also If Discord is supposed to be "Intangible" why he needs to dodge Tirek's Laser Beam ?

Scene
 
I can't find a good thing for it, but there's a scene in the Season 2 Premiere when he shows Twilight something from the past where he turns himself entirely intangible. He also can change his form to literally anything, from a balloon to a painting to a pile of apples and more, so he doesn't really need a physical form to exist.

Also it's entirely possibly Discord did the thing to dodge the laser just to look cool. I mean, his face shows no sign of worry, he's not even amused at Tirek's futile attack.

I appreciate your participation in this thread !

For what you mentioned before that would mean that Discord doesn't really need a body to exist however that would be more like manipulation of the soul than intangibility. There is also the fact that Discord was transformed into stone by a rainbow ray which means that Discord is not Intangible: The Mane 6 take on Discord

Also Talking about the scene I listed before ... if we are based on the expression of Discord we realize that he is not exactly happy as it always shows, but he has a serious expression that is not at all friendly

And knowing him would have been cool to receive the attack instead of dodging it!
 
"A non-corporeal being does not usually have any kind of concrete, defined form, and can appear in many different forms if they wish."

Yeah, it really does ring a bell when talking about Discord.
 
Discord having reality warping can trigger multiple abilities like transmutation, creation, shapeshifting, etc. so it wouldn't be strange for him to have something simple like intangibility.
 
There was a scene in Make New Friends But Keep Discord, where Discord phased through a brick wall via what looked like intangibility.

That wasn't a fight, he was caught by surprise, and even then, it was likely PIS, since Discord could have escaped in several different ways due to his hax.
The power from "The jokes show" looks more like PIS too.

Mostly because it was the first and last time he had used it.

While being corporeal And not immune to energy attacks is more common for Discord:

1. The Raimbow Beam turn him into stone Twice (In the past and the present)

2. Can't scape from "the Stone State" with the Intangibility Power.

3. Need to dodge a laser from Tirek

and those were fights.
 
The Rainbow beam is quite clearly a form of sealing and not a direct attack on him. Of course he wouldn't be able to break out, it's not like he was only encased in stone, a magical lock was placed on it that only withered when the Elements of Harmony switched to new owners.

However The Rainbow Beam is still a form of energy, energy that touched Discord physically.

I still thinking that Non-Corporeal is the real power we are talking about, since it has more aplications than Intangibility.

Edit: There is also the possibility that Discord can only be Intangible for some seconds, and possibly he didn't use it on actual fights because of the time limit.
 
I do not think that there seems to be sufficient proof of Discord being a Non-Corporeal entity.
