Persoally, I think that an earth pony would not be a threat to anypony, no matter how brilliant he is. If there's would be a Nazi-like villain in this show, it has to be an Unicorn or a Pegasus. Since it would be a mastermind, it's more likely it would be an unicorn, because Pegasus aren't that smart (compared to Unicorns); but, Unicorns lack of the poise and demeanor of the pegasus, so I think that a pegasus would be the right choice.

@BenRG, A mastermind with just one Lieutenant (the Mook Lieutenant) would be a fine choice FOR THIS SHOW. Just imagine if they decided to make a villain with the small elite of Lieutenants that you said: in the first part they would be fine to awesome baddies that are performing just fine or awesome, but in the second part something that they didn't foresaw would happen, they would start to act much less effective and near the end they would be killed/defeated in a very hasty and tasteles way. Now that COULD WORK if they appear during a season long arc, but for a two-parter, The bad guy and just one lieutenant would be the best chice.
