My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic: Difference between revisions

Each issue consists of a self-contained story detailing the origins/history of various antagonists from the first four seasons of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Rainbow Rocks]]''. The first and last issues involved {{IDW|Twilight Sparkle}} in company with one or more friends learning the story of a particular villain from written or oral accounts. The middle three issues all launched immediately into events 1000 years or more before the present day of the ''Friendship is Magic'' series.

*{{IDW|King Sombra}}: the illegitimate {{FIM|Unicorn}} king of the {{IDW|Crystal Empire}} introduced in ''[[The Crystal Empire]]''. His issue establishes Sombra as a tragic figure whose one friend was [[Radiant Hope]]. After learning of his true nature as an [[Umbrum]], he chooses to embrace the dark destiny shown to him by the [[Crystal Heart]].

*{{IDW|Tirek}}: a [[Centaur]] [[Lord]] and enemy of Equestria introduced in ''[[Twilight's Kingdom]]''. Tirek's lust for power is shown to have begun in his youth under the tutelage of the sorcerer [[Sendak]].

*{{IDW|Dazzlings}}: a trio of [[Sirens]] consisting of {{IDW|Adagio Dazzle}}, {{IDW|Aria Blaze}}, and {{IDW|Sonata Dusk}}, first introduced in ''[[My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Rainbow Rocks]]''. These villains use their musically-based magic to drain magic from {{FIM|Ponies}} to increase their own power.

*{{IDW|Nightmare Moon}}: the corrupted form of {{IDW|Princess Luna}}, banished to the moon by {{IDW|Princess Celestia}} as discussed in ''[[Friendship is Magic (episode)|Friendship is Magic]]''. In events touched upon in the ''Nightmare Rarity'' arc of the [[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (comic book)|''Friendship is Magic'' comic series]], she establishes a dominion on the moon and corrupts the native [[Nyx]] into her [[Nightmare Forces]].

*{{IDW|Queen Chrysalis}}: the queen of the {{IDW|Changelings}}, first introduced in ''[[A Canterlot Wedding]]''. Cruel and calculating, Chrysalis' history as a would-be conqueror is revealed to predate her attack on [[Canterlot]] by over a thousand years.
