Ideas for Villains

There are plenty of good ideas of villains the Mane Six could battle in the future. This is really just a thread to come up with good villains the Mane 6 could face off either as a one shot or a recurring villain. This is just a way to have fun and steal ideas from people for fanfics like Suri Polomare. Really just keep this thread flowing.

 

My idea: A war god that serves as the Ares to Celestia's Athena. He could be big and brutish with a similar  design to Tirek. He's themed after the sun, just like Celestia and commands a massive army themed after the Romans. He wants to conquer Equestria to give glory to his empire. But at the same time he's not completely evil, he actually values honor, strength, loyalty (just like RD), and even friendship, treating his men like actual comrades. I think he'd be an interesting villain.

I'd like a villain to be the embodiment of hatred and deadly serious. No pride in oneself,  no envy of others, no greed for things, just hatred at all the things that were denied to them and hatred at all those that just sit idly on the sidelines and don't go out and try to make the world better (ie the background ponies) and hatred those that are too ignorant of the world and have no understanding of it yet still control it and don't allow for any other way of thinking (ie the Princesses and the Mane 6 from their point of view).  Someone who will criticize the town, our heroes, the government and anyone else and take them to town for their mistakes and extremely powerful.  Basically I would love to see a mix between Darth Vader and Zaheer from Legend of Korra.

I'd love there to be a villain that's unique and not just another evil creature that feeds off of hatred or whatever. I'd like something more like a quiet character no one suspects is a villain, but ultimately turns out to be evil.

 

Just a character that's a little different from all the others, you know?

As the sun rises so does the moon.  The constant eternal balance of night and day.  Well lets throw a wrench into this.  Right now the northern lights are flexing further south.  What if this in it self was a villain.  Forgotten for decades in the cold and bitter north.  Forced to live in isolation perfecting her powers the lights she creates her only comfort in life.  After time she forgot what the comfort of other ponies was.  She forgot what it was to even have warmth in her own heart.  Now with the rise of Princess Twilight Sparkle love and friendship have grown in the world reaching even to the farthest points of the north.  First thing she would pass would be the crystal empire.  The thought of love and community burn at her heart as she comes closer.  Her only response to react.  The very crystal heart that protects the city suddenly encircled by the dancing array of lights and shattered the shards falling down like a fine crystalline shower over the ponies of the city turning their hearts as cold towards their own kind as this unknown mare.  With a numb gaze she looks out over the land and sets her sights in the direction of the next place causing her such pain.  Ponyville.

 

So what ya think?

If I were to make a villain for the show, it would be one with a tiered chain of command that would seek to bring Equestria down from the inside out. 

 

The ones who follow this leader believe that Celestia and her rule are bad news and they all believe this for different reasons. not all of them are evil per say, but they are all equally driven and believe their leader to the fullest. 

 

One would be a giggling maniac, following orders for seemingly no other reason than her own amusement. To her, the lives of others exist for her own amusement and nothing more, she has no desire for friendship but will pretend to be a friend just to have the pleasure of betraying them later. When in view shew walks with a slow gait, but out of view she seems to be able to move faster than lightning and can appear from almost nowhere. Her favorite pass time is laying booby traps for unsuspecting travelers. 

 

Two would be a charismatic sort, the kind that can sway a pony with her words and get them to believe what she is selling. Her goal would be to weaken equestria's faith in the princesses. She's smart, capable, and will do anything to bring down the public view of the princesses. Her reason would be be a perceived wrong that Celestia did on her and her family, some tough order Celestia had to make that ruined this ponies life and made her turn to the one she serves for new leadership. 

 

Three would be an infiltrator, one that gets herself right in Celestia's court and cementing her position as a sleeper cell. She holds the appearance of calm and pleasant sort, one that wouldn't make herself known except for when she speaks to one of her comrades. She believes that the Princesses are incompetent and when all is said and done and the previous government is taken down a new and stronger one will take its place. She believes the one she serves will bring about that change. 

 

Four would be a leader of a hoard of monsters. She would be silky smooth and confident, able to hold a command over the most terrifying of beasts with a word or a glance. Her goal is to amass an army of monsters to lead against the capitol, believing the world should be wild once again, that the clouds should govern themselves and that the order ponies have brought is unnatural. 

 

maybe a couple others

 

The leader herself though, the one they all lead, would be a total Nihilist disguised as a revolutionary. She cares not for ruling equestria like they think, but rather she just wants to end it as a nation like she has done with others in the past. She cares not for life of any kind and will use whomever to bring about the ultimate end. Its why the first one follows her, because they both have the same objective, and even when the others find out the dark truth the first will still be on the leaders side. She would be sociopathic, able to deceive and brainwash with the greatest of ease, and she has a personal vendetta against Celestia. 

 

 

Of course all this would change the tone of the show rather drastically, so while I'd enjoy it I doubt it would fly on the show.

I mentioned this before in SCC, but I want to see a villain that steals the minds of all the ponies in Equestria, effectively turning them into real-life ponies. Imagine them just doing what horses normally do: neighing, grazing, rolling in mud holes, fighting to establish a peking order, and crapping all over the place. I'd give anything to see the princesses sink to that level.

A giant robot dinosaur. It was built by an insane scientist who thought that a real dinosaur attack was imminent. So he builds the robot dinosaur to protect everypony from the real dinosaur (that only exists in his twisted mind). On the first test run the robot dinosaur steps on, and crushes the device that controls the robot and the scientist. This leaves the giant robot dinosaur rampaging out of control leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Also, now would be a good time to mention that it shoots fire out of its mouth, because what the hell is the point of building a giant robot dinosaur if it dose'nt shoot fire? How will the mane six stop it? Giant robot dinosaurs don't give a crap about friendship! This villain is too much for the mane six to handle. It would seem that they have finally met their match. But just when it looks like all is lost...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DJ Pon3 shows up with a bass cannon. The wubs hit the robot dinosaur, and the vibration causes all the screws and bolts to loosen and fall out. The robot dinosaur begins to fall apart. Pieces crashing to the ground as it walks until it collapses on the ground in a pile of scrap metal. Then Vinyl is dubbed the "Princess of Bass" and becomes an alicorn.

A race of alien invaders with superior technology to counter Equestrian magic. However, the "magic vs. technology" schtick is ultimately subverted when it's revealed that they're actually jealous of Equestria for having magic to maintain harmony, prevent many natural disasters, etc., while the aliens were forced to create OP technology to compensate---which still wasn't enough to prevent disharmony, natural disasters, etc., until they finally snapped and decided to take nature into their own hands by forcibly "borrowing" Equestrian magic. And when the good guys ask the leader why he/she didn't just ask for help, he/she states that the desperate aliens were simply too afraid of the risk of Equestria's refusal.

I think the best villain for this kind of show, is someone intelligent and cunning, someone that could harm the mane 6 on a more mental level, then on a physical level.

Like something that is reacting simply because the love flowing threw the air it self is harming it.

Discord fits that pretty well.

I would like an omnipresent villain. Pure evil, wherever shadows are, even in the darkness of a ponie's heart, he is present. He can command the darkness

 

Sounds like a job for Sombra.

 

Whenever he regenerates, that is.

The Wild Hunt; The Wild Hunt is an ancient folk myth prevalent across Northern, Western and Central Europe. The fundamental premise in all instances is the same: a phantasmal, spectral group of huntsmen with the accoutrements of hunting, with horses and hounds in mad pursuit across the skies or along the ground, or just above it. Only downgraded for the show...

Maybe less of a villain and more of just an antagonist. A character doesn't have to be evil to oppose the cast. 

 

What'd I'd like to see is a character that opposes and tries to disprove the magic of friendship. A loner that champions the power of the self, the do it yourself attitude, the one versus all, mentalities. She views having friends as a weakness, something that halts a pony from realizing their true potential. She believes ponies rely on friendship like a crutch, and when that crutch is taken away, ponies will be left vulnerable and helpless. Your friends won't or can't always be there for you. What do you do when you're alone? Will you have the strength to persevere? You will if you learn to rely on the power of independence, the power of self. 

 

Kinda like a cross between Iron Will & Starlight Glimmer, w/ S1E1 Twilight & Apple Bucking Season AJ in between. She believes in what she's saying and thinks she's looking out for pony kids best interests, trying to save them from the flaws of friendship. 

 

How can the mane 6 deal with that? How can princess Twi deal with a pony that preaches the antithesis of what she herself represents?
