<!-- %% NOTE: Before anyone adds Discord as a CM, note that he does not count according to discussion in the following thread: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6vic3f9h1cy5qivsenw8llok&page=10#244 -->
* [[Complete Monster]]: Lord Tirek from the season 4 finale, "Twilight's Kingdom." While not as dark as his G1 counterpart, he's easily more evil and heinous than the rest of the show's villains. Cruel and completely selfish, he seeks to drain Equestria of all it's magic so that he can rule over it as the only magical being. In the process, he intends to leave all ponies as weak, empty shells who can only watch as their world ''dies'' around them. And he actually comes close to doing this, too! He's also the walking rejection of the show's central theme of friendship, going as far as to consider ''his own brother'' worthless because he believed in it and befriended the ponies. After manipulating Discord into aiding him, turning on him to suck out his magic, and using him and the rest of the Mane cast as bargaining chips in a [[Sadistic Choice]] for Twilight Sparkle, even ''Discord'', the embodiment of chaos, has disgust for this guy!
** Also consider that Tirek is the only known villain whose residence was Tartarus, the MLP version of Hell that is explicitly described as being for "the most evil beings in Equestria." Remember the backstory fates of other villains (Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon, Discord was turned to stone, Queen Chrysalis is sealed inside her own realm, and King Sombra was banished to the north) and think about how bad this makes Tirek.
*** And since he was sent from Equestria to Tartarus as punishment for an attempted takeover, he's pretty much the [[Satan]] of this show.
* [[Counterpart Comparison]]: Rainbow Dash is ''incredibly'' similar to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. Both of them are cartoon animals who can [[Super Speed|break the sound barrier]], have [[Anime Hair|spiky hair]], have an "[[Deadpan Snarker|attitude]]", and have a tendency to [[Smug Super|boast about their speed]]. To drive the point home, both of them are idolized by orange-furred children (Scootaloo for Rainbow, Tails for Sonic).
** Pinkie Pie and [[Kirby]], mainly because their both pink heroes with huge appetites and also inflate there bodies at certain points (Kirby to fly, and Pinkie Pie during some of her random cartoon physics most noticeable during her Pinkie Sense when she found out that Twilight believing in her abilities was the doozy she predicted). They also have had trouble with dealing with bird based characters (King Dedede for Kirby and Gilda for Pinkie) so these characters do have a lot in common.
