In his debut, Sombra was depicted by [[Big Jim Miller]]. Many fans were disassified by his original voice, believing it was "generic" and unoriginal. In his return appearance in "[[The Beginning of the End]]", he was instead portrayed by [[Alvin Lee Sanders]], the voice actor for "[[Flutterguy]]". Fans are divided on Sander's take on the character, with some thinking his Sombra was far superior, giving him a deeper range of personality, while other fans find that his portrayal clashes with his earlier depictions while also making him seem like more of a stereotypical villain |

[[Mike Vogel]], a show writer and former VP of [[Hasbro]]'s development, joked that Sombra was gay (unfortunately using stereotypes rather then anything meaningful) on Twitter.<ref>[https://derpicdn.net/img/2019/4/6/2004755/medium.png Tweet screenshot]</ref> This is contradicted by Sombra having a romantic partner i the form of Radiant Hope, a mare. Insider rated Sombra in a list of LGBTQA+ cartoon characters.<ref>[https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/06/insiders-259-lgbtq-characters-in.html Insider's "259 LGBTQ Characters in Cartoons" List Includes Some Pony]</ref> |
