Which Villain do you think is the most Evil?

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

There are many villains in the MLP series, but which is the most evil of the bunch?

 

 

Take only each MAIN villain of each Season into account and consider their plan, their behaviour and their actions.

 

If I had to pull straws, I'd go with Tirek, with Sombra as a close second.

[Zachary 5,521]

I would say Tirek, He looks Amazing as a Villain!

[Oleks 1,993]

In my opinion, the most evil one are Sombra and, if we take the comics into account, the dark forces that possessed Luna and Rarity making them Nightmare Moon and Nightmare Rarity.
 

Sombra was created by that dark and shady umbrum thing, and destruction was his only purpose. And the forces from the Nightmare Dreamscape seem to be pure evil too.

 

Other villains have/had different motivation, like feeding (Chrysalis and the sirens), power (Tirek), fun (Discord) or mental issues (Starlight).

[cmarston1 5,959]

Either King Sombra or Tirek.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,367]

Tirek, by far. Not only are his intentions incredibly evil, his overall powers and what he can do with them is beyond compare in FiM. He literally devours magic, the lifeblood of Equestria and uses it to make himself more powerful. He can essentially kill off all of Equestria just by simply taking the magic, but he also has the power to simply wipe everything out by that point and we seen that in one of the alternate timelines. I don't think one can be much more evil than that.

[Cleverclover 1,526]

Toss up between Sombra and Tirek. 

 

Tirek's problem is that he apparently isn't willing to kill. He really should have killed Twilight and the rest of the mane six after she gave up her magic, but he didn't. Not really sure why, though. It's not like he had anything to lose, and on top of that, Twilight had just handed his ass to him, so he had to be feeling pretty sour towards her. 

 

Meanwhile, I definitely don't think Sombra would have any problem with killing. 

[Castle Bleck 19,334]

Either Chrysalis or Tirek.

 

According to the comics, Sombra's actually more like an anti-villain; otherwise, I would've tied him with ^them.

[Ganondorf8 11,288]

Tirek would be the most evil villain bar none. He desired power above all else and did whatever was necessary to acquire that power so he could rule over Equestria without anyone being able to oppose him. Sure, he didn't kill anyone--the age demographic of the show prevented him from doing so--but if he weren't restrained by certain forces, no pony would be able to survive against his fury.

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

I went with Tirek due to him destroying far more lives than Sombra, his scheme is more nefarious in how weak and lifeless it leaves each pony that he steals the magic from and how manipulatively he uses Discord, who is(or rather was)a sadistic character in his own right.

 

As for not killing Twilight and the main 6 when he had the chance, I would'nt say that it's a matter of being merciful, but rather a matter of his own self-confidence. As far as he knew, Twilight and her friends(or anypony in Equestria)no longer had ANY magic to speak of. He couldn't know about the box or what it contained.

Hands down Tirek.  I was going to say King sombra as well, but (even though it not canon) the comic have him reformed. So who's know when he make his return (if he can) he will be reform. and Queen Chrysalis is like now a 50% chance she will be reform. Tierk?  now that is one bad ass who doesnt give a damn but bring hell to equestria. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Hands down Tirek and Sombra.

[Castle Bleck 19,334]

Chrysalis wanted to feed her hive, and guess what? Everyone in her hive betrays her! How cruel is that? She just wanted them to have full stomachs!

 

Not quite.

 

She didn't care that the traditional feeding-method was only a short-term fix; she just wanted to retain her Stockholm-syndrome-like hold over them.

 

Not to mention her chronic sadism throughout both the show and the comics.

[Castle Bleck 19,334]

Well, you have a point there. But I think Lies, Deception and Sadism is all Chrysalis has ever known, so you can't really blame her...

 

According to FIENDship, she was literally born that way -- and not Lady Gaga's fun kind, either.

 

So yeah, I guess.

[Violet_S 785]

I would have to say that it's Tirek... he actually caused a lot of damage and it made a huge difference when compared to other villains like Discord, King Sombra or Queen Chrysalis since they only planned their attacks and never achieved them completely...at least he did something more than that 

[leonbrony17 1,216]

Tirek no doubt.

 

He drained everypony in equestria without mercy and started to destroy the landscape after getting all the magic.

 

No chance of reform.

 

So yes. Tirek is absolutly evil.

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

The Wendigos

 

If not them, then Tirek would be my next choice.

 

 

I am surprised no one has said Larson, Haber, Rapp or Vogel yet.

[Brainstorm 4,107]

I would say Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek. And Daring Do's foe, Ahuizotl

 

[Sketchy Tail 206]

I'd say Tirek and Sombra, no doubt.

[Olsen1987 133]

King Sombra for me.
That one wanted to enslave ponies, put them chains, forcing them to live in darkness.

[Starsagittarius 4]

Tirek ftw, very "dragonball"

[FlareGun45 2,221]

It's a tough decision between Tirek and Sombra! But even though Sombra just wanted to enslave the Crystal Empire, Tirek wanted all of Equestria! And in his parallel timeline, he seemed to destroy EVERYTHING! No he's the most evil of all the villains!

 

I don't really consider Discord or Nightmare Moon to be necessarily "evil". Discord is just chaotic, and confusion, but he wouldn't hurt a fly! Well, at least not lethally. Nightmare Moon, she just wants eternal night, but she really wouldn't hurt anypony! She didn't even enslave Equestria, nor does she want to; she just wants Celestia's job and have no more daylight, so the worst she can do is kill crops for the lack of sunlight and then ponies would starve.

[NeonCobalt 256]

Both Sombra and Tirek are pretty much pure evil, with no motivation other than gaining power and causing destruction. So I'd say it's a toss up between them.

[Luigi 7,869]

I'd have to go with Chrysalis. She made the S6 finale look like some kinda weird Deus Ex Machina.

[Castle Bleck 19,334]

But even though Sombra just wanted to enslave the Crystal Empire,

 

Sombra wanted all of Equestria, actually.

 

It was explicitly said that whoever controls the Empire and the Heart can affect the rest of the world -- think Ganondorf with the Triforce.

 

And in Sombra's Cutie Re-Mark timeline, not only did he convert the Crystal Ponies into soldiers to fight the Royal Guards, but the whole world began warping into something similar to his corrupted Empire (e.g., Hell-red sky, giant black crystals all over the place, etc.).

Tirek is my first choice, with Queen Chrysalis as a close second. Both have come very close to conquering Equestria at least once.

 

Tirek nearly succeeded after he took the Princesses' combined Alicorn magic from Twilight, and had it not been for Rainbow Power, he would have become Equestria's King and God for who knows how long.

 

Chrysalis had Equestria at her mercy in her second appearance when she kidnapped and replaced the Mane Six and Royal Family, and no one was the wiser to her plan except for Starlight, Sunburst, and Thorax, leaving the country completely unprepared for a full-scale invasion by the Changeling Swarm. Had it not been for Starlight and Thorax in the end, Equestria would have been in Chrysalis' iron hoof within at least twenty-four hours.
