The Top Ten
1 Discord - My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Discord, also known as the Spirit of Disharmony, is a former-antagonist-turned-supporting-protagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

But if there is a Discord, shouldn't there be a Harmony to make things equal and if there are the elements of harmony, there has to some sort of elements of discord? I'm just wondering.

Torn between Discord and Bill Cipher, but ever since the Season 6 finale, I realized how amazing this guy is

He's better than the Ice King from Adventure Time
