Legion of Doom

From Equestripedia, the Archives of Equestria!

The Legion of Doom is the group of villains Grogar formed in order to take over Equestria once again.

History

The group was formed by Grogar, the first king of Equestria, who was eventually dethroned by Gusty the Great. After millennia of gathering power and observing affairs in Equestria, he recruited a number of other villains to counter the Mane Six. The founding members of the team were Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, King Sombra and Cozy Glow. However, Sombra left the team and was destroyed by the Mane Six after nearly conquering Equestria by himself.[1]

After his destruction, the remaining members stood by at the lair, though were constantly at each others odds. Eventually, Grogar tasked them with retrieving his Bewitching Bell from Mount Everhoof, which was protected by a magic forcefield. Through the experience, the Legion members grew closer to one another though refused to consider each other their friend. After they retrieved the item, they vowed to not give it to Grogar, fearing what he could do with it.[2]

Members

Notes

Out of the members of the legion, both Grogar and Tirek are counterparts of generation 1 villains. Grogar was the villain of The Return of Tambelon arc, while Tirek was the villain of the first piece of My Little Pony animation, Rescue at Midnight Castle.

Chrysalis and Sombra were both original characters for Friendship is Magic and have interacted before in The Siege of the Crystal Empire storyline in the comics, where Sombra was depicted as far more serious than his somewhat jovial depiction in the show. Cozy Glow is also an original character for the series.

The group's name, which comes from episode descriptions, seems to be inspired by DC's identically named organization, with their hideout of Grogar's lair being similar in appearance and location to DC's Hall of Doom.
