* OmnicidalManiac: The Dark King's corresponding Aetheric Dominion, Encroaching Ruin, is described thus in ''The Burning of Ohmn-Mat'':
-->''Chaos in its purest form is a terror that few can stand before and remain sane. It hungers only for destruction, that all things mortal meet their predestined end and crumble into dust to be forgotten. To this singular end it moves inexorably, driven by a nightmarish purpose which subsumes the petty divisions of daemonkind.''

* BatmanGambit: Despite being perhaps the single most powerful being in realspace, both in physical merit and psyker-potential, [[spoiler:''this'' is what gave him the edge he needed over Horus in their final battle, as the Emperor stood absolutely ''[[CurbStompBattle zero chance]]'' against Horus while he was empowered by the Ruinous Powers--a fact hammered home by him dying several times over their brutal battle and would have eventually suffered a [[DeaderThanDead permanent death]] had Horus pressed his advantage--but, the Emperor knew his son's FatalFlaw in ''needing'' to [[{{Pride}} prove himself unquestionably his father's better all on his own]] and through a careful illusion while distracted with Ollanius and his Custodes managed to make Horus forsake the power that gave him an edge, which flipped the fight around and led to the Emperor now inflicting a brutal CurbStompBattle against Horus instead.]]

* GodzillaThreshold: After the Emperor felt the true extent of Horus' power, he realized that victory would be unlikely unless he empowered Himself greatly. Out of desperation, the Emperor drank from the Warp but on a scale previously unseen, almost reincarnating as the Dark King for the good of mankind. It was the quick persuasion of Ollanius Perssonto remind the Emperor of the needs of [[MoralityChain humanity]] that allowed the Emperor to resist the great power, but he only managed to delay its incarnation.

* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: The most terrifying thing about the Dark King is that fundamentally upon the moment of its birth, would immediately end ''everything'' because it would consume not just everything within realspace but the Immaterium itself into what would become ''the'' lone singular being in all of existence, which serves as the titular "[[TitleDrop The End and the Death]]" the Eldar are shocked has been set in motion and the Chaos Gods gladly welcome as their final victory.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: It is implied heavily that had the Emperor truly become the Dark King, he actually would have been ''vastly'' more powerful than all four of the other Chaos Gods ''[[BeyondTheImpossible combined]]'' and would have effortlessly assimilated them all into his new being as ''the'' one singular God in existence, being as much as an apocalyptic situation for the Ruinous Powers themselves as it would have been for all of mankind.
