Dan Vs. Equestria's Most Wanted · 5:32am Jun 29th, 2014
Well folks, we've already seen a couple antagonists come and go; Samule, Shifty and even Nightmare Moon being among them. But we've had mentions of a few more so, just who are they?
Since they've already been revealed, we wanted to put the spotlight on them a little bit more so you can learn more about them before you meet them again.
Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship(Season 1): Long-term villains update
No. 1
Name: Vice Grip
Race: Earth Pony
First appearance: Episode 6
One of Barro's first OCs, Vice Grip is actually also the villain of one of Barro's other stories, Magic Gear Solid: Broken Balance. While his adapted backstory in the Dan Vs. MLP universe has yet to be revealed, parts of his impact and personality have already been revealed in small doses. Two other OCs belonging to two other members of the Dan Vs. audience have thus far appeared as his henchment: Lightning Claw, an experimented-on Pegasus and a zebra assassin named Cross-Eye. Vice Grip's own attitude towards ponies is identical to the one he had in Broken Balance as are his abilities and technical prowess. But now with the addition of humans, Vice Grip sees a new opportunity that differentiates it from that storyline.
Having constructed Magic Gear KNIGHT at Luna's request, his design was modified by the princess for her own needs. But as was revealed in his first appearance, Vice has clearly cultivated allies and is not alone in his distaste for Celestia's rule. Multiple other Magic Gear designs have already been built- could the device Dan fought on the train be one of them? And exactly how are donkeys, griffons, zebras, crystal and sea ponies involved in Vice Grip's plans for the future? Why is Vice Grip fascinated with Twilight, Chrys, Dan and humanity? And who was it that captured Phoenix Wright?
No. 2
Name: Zen Zeal
Race: Zebra
First appearance: uncomfirmed
Zen Zeal is one of Barro's later OCs and appeared briefly in Fallout Equestria: New Pegas Nights. Unlike Vice Grip, General Zen Zeal is not subtle about his disdain for ponies or for Dan.
A war hero, the zebra general is the veteran of many battles: The Great Dragon Invasion, the Buffalo Uprising, the Occupy Barn Street Occupation, the Two-and-a-half Day's War for the Iphone4G, the Great Griffon Pirate Wars and the Annexation of the Emerald Jungle. Zen Zeal is a legend; he's never lost a fought and unstoppable on the offensive. During battle, General Zeal forces his armies to attack relentlessly until the enemy is destroyed, going so far as to execute prisoners and even his own forces if they stop or even slow down. Supply lines have stretched, soldiers have revolted but Zen Zeal has accomplished his task every time: elimination of the enemy. He's sustained more casualties under his command than any other officer in Equestria- but his ruthlessness has earned him victory after victory and respect, admiration and fear from his foes and fellow zebras alike.
Zen Zeal first sees humanity as the way Luna saw it: a threat. The bulky, bearded zebra has since allied himself to Vice Grip for some reason though their alliance is fragile at best. Unbeknownst to all those involved, Zen Zeal is also one of the primary catalysts for a Fallout: Equestria-style scenario within the Dan Vs. universe. We're all looking forward to General Zen Zeal's first encounter with Dan where he'll be forced to go up against a zebra who's not just a living legend but the embodiment of a war itself.

Name: ???
Race: ???
First appearance: Episode 2
A dark mystery, an enigma wrapped within the shadow of a silent riddle. An unforgiving question mark that tears at the heart. WARNING: This character is CANON AND IS NOT AN OC.
Just who was the mysterious caller over the phone? Referred to only as "The Director", this diabolical fiend seems to be coordinating the efforts between the antagonists that face Dan, but how? Who could possibly be this coordinated? Whoever they are, their fascination with Dan goes far beyond that of anything else in Equestria. Somehow, they are managing to pull the strings of all the previous individuals, Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor, Cadence, Spike, Chrys, Fluffle Puff and even Dan. Just who are they and why are they so obsessed with Dan, Twilight, Fluffle Puff and Chrys?
For that answer... you'll just have to stay tuned in for each episode of season one of Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship! No matter what kind of character you have or you are, this story is all of ours! Only on FIMFiction.net.
Your imagination when it comes to theses characters never ceases to surprise me. I can't wait to see more of them in the future.
(I am especially intrigued by Vice Grip.)
I think I'm gonna die.
Literally just before I read this I was having an "I HATE MY OC" moment
Well this all sounds certainly interesting. Can't wait to see more of this.
