* Corrupted Pinkie Pie is basically ComicBook/TheJoker. [[FauxAffablyEvil Funny, but purely psychotic to the core...]]also, her antics result in the rebirth of [[StarterVillain Nightmare Moon]], if only for a little while.
** On that subject, Nightmare Moon does quite a number on Pinkie Pie. Any more, and there wouldn't even be a party after the threat is taken care of...

I'm gonna be honest: I don't feel comfortable citing the comics as canon because I'm afraid of this happening...and also because the Chaos Theory ending is total ass.

* The very hot spring that [[TheCorrupter corrupts the Mane 6]]. You could just be stumbling along it one day and decide, "hey I could totally take a dip in this", and then wake up the next morning doing horrible things to those around you. In fact, that's ''exactly'' what happens! Oh, and it makes you able to resist the powers of a PhysicalGod! Seriously, imagine what Applejack could do if she ''wasn't an {{Expy}} of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump.

** Even worse, it's implied that the Mane 6 [[AndIMustScream were fully aware and in absolutely no control of their actions]]. As soon as they come to, they immediately regret their actions and remember everything they did.
** Heck, the entire concept of the Mane 6 suddenly turning evil makes for some great ParanoiaFuel, especially if one of more is your favorite character.
* Corrupted Pinkie Pie is basically ComicBook/TheJoker. [[FauxAffablyEvil Funny, but purely psychotic to the core...]]also, her antics result in the rebirth of [[StarterVillain Nightmare Moon]], if only for a little while.
* Adding to the above, corrupted Rarity is essentially a fashion-obsessed ComicBook/DoctorDoom, mask and all!
* Corrupted Fluttershy shows just what could happen if the talent of taking care of animals was taken full advantage of. It's also a possibility that Fluttershy's corruption spread to some of the animals themselves, and ''they'' were also fully aware of themselves.
* Corrupted Twilight Sparkle gets it the worst, so much so that the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike declare her the most immediate threat. She declares herself Empress of Ponyville, is obsessed with intelligence to the point where she drains the intelligence out of other ponies (except [[DumbMuscle Bulk Biceps]]), is more than capable of overpowering Rarity and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Luna]], and is CrazyPrepared to the T! Many fanfics declared that a [[FaceHeelTurn face-turned]] Twilight Sparkle would be one of the worst threats Equestria would know, and this comic proves them all right; the only thing that did her in was her ''own lack of a sense of humor''.

* Everyone in Ponyville is being mind controlled by the villain of the story and now they are tearing apart a dam to flood their own town. Worst of all, the Mane Six are among them. It’s pretty disturbing to see the heroines who usually save the day as mindless thrall, especially since one of them is an Alicorn princess.

* [[AdultFear It must have been a terrible night for all missing foals' parents and guardians, Cheerilee included]]. However, Rarity deserves special mention. She's seen rushing to Sweetie Belle before anypony else, her mascara smeared and her hair messy -- a jarring contrast to her usual cleanness and elegance. Poor girl must have been crying all night over unintentionally providing the distraction that helped her little sister (and six other kids) get lost.

Considering everything from Nightmare Moon and Discord to Chrysalis and Sombra, it really cements just how much is at stake each time a new evil rises.
