I've been hearing good things about this CRISIS: Equestria thing for a while. It's gotten popular enough that it has it's own thread on the site, so let's see what it's like. Come with me as I'm wowed and amazed at the wonderful literary prowess of the author. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.

We tend to call the evil clones collectivity 'the mean 6'. Because we like word play in this fandom it seems.

Also, Havocwing is evil Fluttershy, (remember the kind eyes?), and Grayscale Force is Rainbow Dash.

But Jetstream specifically thought of Dash when Havocwing came out.

Finally! We can talk about the Mean 6! Some of the most fun characters in the fic!

Havocwing has Dash's physique because they're both built for speed. But she's Fluttershy's opposite. Which ironically gives her a lot in common with RD.

Jetstream was such an idiot that I can't deny Silvertongue's logic that he was more useful as practice for the Mean 6.

All the Mean 6 have identical eyes to their counterpart which is a bit odd in some cases such as the kind eyes, angry face combo of Havocwing.

Starlight is still purple. Want some pics? They're quite pretty.

Actually Insipid does have to touch first. We still think that she's the most dangerous character in the entire fic though.

"The cutest dysfunctional family ever! "

So true! Some of the best things about this fic are the scenes of the Mean 6 nteracting with each other.

We like to compare Starlight with Azula and Greyscale with Mei.

If you liked Red Velvet here, then wait till you see her in action later! I think you'll like her. While we think that Insipid is the most dangerous, we think that Red is the most evil and terrifying.

Cover showing most major characters, but a bit small

Curacao

Starlight

Havocwing

Grayscale

Insipid

Red Velvet

I suppose that you can have Tick Tock as well.

Unfortunately, I can't find Nihila for some reason and the rest are a bit spoilery at this point.

Well of course he's erratic, he's the head servant to the goddess of Chaos. But there is an underlying reason behind everything he does.

The common name for them is Mean 6

You mean Rogue, and yes she does, that's why she jabbed Havok

Yeah, Starlight's 'trash talk' is all about how epic and great and uber she is and how everypony else sucks, no actual bite to it.

Curacao while the least able in a direct fight, has proven to be by far the most dangerous and competent of the group, she's not suited for direct engagment but she knows how to still win while avoiding it.

As to Velvet's power it's fear based. Pinkie essentially gains power based laughter and joy, Velvet gains power from fear, she can only use the pocket dimension thing against ponies that are terrified of her.

And yes insipid's has the biggest potential of the Mean 6, but she's also to dumb to know this.

Yay you're finally here! Glad to hear your opinions on the main draw of the fic! These characters are amongst the best in the fandom, all around from their interactions with the other characters to one another. Looking forward to hearing your opinions on them as they grow as characters.

Like I said.

IT BEGINS.

Curaçao, opposite Applejack. The Element of Deception. [[memegenerator.net/Curaao-Bizarro-Applejack You never can tell with Curaçao around.]]

Grayscale Force, opposite Rainbow Dash. The Element of Apathy. One time, she forgot to turn her Gravity off, and she woke up ''covered in stallions.''

Havocwing, opposite Fluttershy. The Element of Fury. Arguably the best antipony of the bunch. You'll see why later.

Insipid, opposite Rarity. The Element of Avarice. The perfect little idiot, if incredibly unstable and dangerous.

Red Velvet, opposite Pinkie Pie. The Element of Fear. She can get pretty memetic, but recent events seem to be taking her down a different route.

Finally, Starlight Shadow, opposite Twilight Sparkle. The Element of Magic. Void Magic.

These six. The Elements of Discord. The Mean Six. The Show-Stealing Brigade. They are the ones that everyone here is reading CRISIS for. Don't lie to yourself, people. You know it's true.

The perfect O Cs in the history of pony O Cs. Is your body ready, CDRW? Is it?

It better be.

BECAUSE CRISIS: EQUESTRIA HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN, MOTHERFUCKERS

OUT IN THE WASTELANDS

AFTER THE REDBLADE MOUNTAINS

IT'S ON
