Villainous Breakdown/Fan Works

"Rem: Light Yagami, I did not realize you were capable of having feelings."
 * In the All Things Probable story, A Friend In Darkness, Monkey Fist, who was usually the most calm-minded and suave villain in the series, suffers from one of these in the final battle of the story after being humiliated, reducing him to raging and shrieking like an actual monkey while unleashing the dark power he had been cursed by. The irony is, his breakdown wasn't caused by Ron Stoppable, his actual Arch Enemy and the one more likely to drive him into one.
 * In the The Familiar of Zero Fate/stay night crossover The Hill Of Swords the villainess Sheffield starts out as a Smug Super supremely confident mage that swiftly devolves into a raving lunatic as Shirou outmatches her in each of their encounters.

 * Discord has two in "Origins". The first is when Mimic reveals to him that the bridge between Ponyland and Earth has been destroyed, thus protecting humanity from him.

The second comes when

 * Several in With Strings Attached:

 * Loki, the Big Bad of My Little Avengers (a Fusion Fic of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Marvel Comics) loses it during the Final Battle when . Likewise, his Dark Avengers each have small scale ones of their own during their own fights with the other Avengers -- Ghost Flyer has the "This Cannot Be!"-panic variety when Captain Equestria breaks through his Penance Stare through sheer willpower, while Iron Monger and Red Skull both go into blind rages when Firebird and Iron Pony turn their own Hannibal Lectures back on them.
 * Queen of All Oni: Lung starts cracking when it becomes evident that his plan to break Jade to his will is failing, and then he breaks completely when her minions show up to save her.

 * In Fever Dreams when  Light very calmly goes up to his room, collapses into bed, and screams into his pillow.

 * Inner Demons: Twilight Sparkle stopped being sane the moment she was consumed by her Queen persona, but even by that standard she really flips her shit during the Battle of Fillydelphia when she realizes that her beloved brother is choosing to stand against her with the protagonists. She starts ranting and screaming that she'll kill all the heroes, Shining Armor included, and is only stopped from carrying out an execution on Cadence by the other heroes arriving in time. Interestingly, they also somewhat accidentally calm her down from the breakdown when they then confront her over
