It occurred to me just how similar the two characters were, so I HAD to draw this.





• Both were villains.

• Both were leaders of their own cult.

• Both had their own fair share of radical supporters.

• The radical supporters of said groups believed they were doing the right thing.

• Both characters employed heavily on banners, performances and parades to sway more newcomers to their cause.

• Both had the ability and power to take away the essential element of others (i.e. bending/cutie mark, the important part which gives power to the user/owner).

• Both managed to take away the essential parts of the protagonists as well later on.

• They committed these actions solely for their twisted version of equality.

• Both were hypocrites and liars, taking everyone's elements but their own.
