Just offering a Power Ponies idea I put together, please enjoy

[Dulset Tarn 441]

I formed an evil anti-Power Ponies team of villains with powers that specifically counter the abilities and strengths of the PPs, as well as being similarly based on the personalities of the Mane 6. They might be evil clones, I don't really know, but they look mostly like the Mane 6 like the PPs do. I'm really proud of them.

Fillisecond's super speed is rather easy to defeat. Stickywicket is practically made of sticky bubblegum, allowing her to immobilize anyone who tries to brawl with her or gets caught in one of her sticky gum traps. She's very giggly and pranksterish, and can also do comical maneuvers like inflating her own head and floating away (Like Pinkie did that one time).

Radiance's attack constructs are dependent on her focus, which is why her evil counterpart Mesmeralda uses her dazzling charm and blinding lightshows to distract and beguile her opponents. She can be seductive when it helps her get past security, and is difficult to chase down when laser lights and smoke aid in her escape. I can totally imagine her and Radiance getting caught up in simple banter, calling each other ugly and insulting each other's style.

There's no force in the world that can stop an angry Saddlerager, which is why Yellowbelly uses the opposite of force. Her extreme meekness and timidity is phenomenally disarming, and when she bursts into tears it's near impossible to stand up against her. The other members of the team tend to bully her, and even use her as a distraction to escape, but make no mistake, she's just as evil as the rest.

Mistress Mare-velous has practically no powers above what any ordinary unicorn can do, and has a "capturing" motif with her lasso. As such, MissFortune is an expert at evading capture, despite her complete lack of powers. She's a ninja, but not the "magical ninjas" common in fiction. She uses nothing more than stealth, misdirection, traps, a quick wit, and a highly trained body to trip up and snag down her foes. She's the most serious and level-headed of the group, and prefers not to bloody her hooves.

It took a while to figure out how one could possibly counter Zapp's weather control, but a somewhat recent phenomenon in Russia inspired the hyperspeed pegasus Meteoryte. The most recklessly destructive of the group, the shockwave from her hypersonic booms can crack concrete, shatter all glass over several city blocks, and blast away any air currents nearby. Thunderclouds, hail, and even tornadoes are completely wiped out by the blast, leaving nothing but a huge empty hole in the sky. Of course, it puts a strain on her body that keeps her from doing it too much too often, but she has a flippant disregard for safety in the first place.

Finally, the Masked Matterhorn may be able to shoot several types of power beams from her horn, but the Antimattercorn only needs one. A mad scientist pegasus who invented a head-mounted ray gun that fires beams of supremely destructive antimatter, she is the de-facto leader of the group. She's much more "standard" as a villain than the others, the simple "genius with a death ray" archetype, but I find it works very well for the leader of the bunch, like Lex Luthor or Mojo Jojo. For some reason I imagine her wearing those crazy goggles that mad scientists tend to wear.

But wait, there is more than six members to the Power Ponies. How does this group fill the gap? Well, though the Antimattercorn leads the group in their regular crimes, they are overseen by The Boss, an enigmatic figure that delivers them special missions and orders via transmission. They've never seen his face, but his plans are always perfect and they don't dare disobey him. He may have created the six, I'm not really sure. However, the terrible truth about The Boss is that rather than a counterpart, he is Humdrum, the very same sidekick to the Power Ponies. He plays the part of bumbling sidekick to learn about the Power Ponies' strengths and weaknesses, as well as be in prime position to affect the balance of power in Maretropolis. He may "fumble" an important task if it goes against his interests, or occasionally come through and help defeat a major villain in order to protect Maretropolis until he's prepared to take it for himself. Even when the two teams face off, the evil counterparts have no idea that their Boss is the little sidekick hiding behind the Power Ponies.

These ideas are great, i reckon if you worked on them like their looks and stuff it would be awesome

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

This should be a fanfic, with art.

[True Rarity 1,239]

This is epic! You should definitely turn this into a fanfiction. I bet you'd do an excellent job! And if you want somepony to design characters, my door is always open.

[Eloquence 2,076]

This sounds like a really fun idea! 10/10 would read a fanfic of

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

I've been thinking about this, and the more I think about it, the more I'm having trouble believing a Peg building an antimatter ray. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a member of the race can't be smart enough. Anyone can be smart regardless of race. It's just a couple of things don't add up.

 

In real life we have trouble creating antimatter in quantity, so I have to guess magic spells would have to be involved.

 

Secondly, if the ray is electronic, then the amount of dexterity required is more than either Earth or Peg has with hooves+mouth.

 

So I would like to suggest that either Twilight's character's mirror should either be a Uni, or that she invents stuff while someone else who can handle small machine parts builds/repairs it for her.

 

It's totally fine if you don't agree. It's just a small plot hole I found.

Valid points, though even most modern comic books would hardly give those things a thought. If Lex Luthor builds an antimatter ray you probably won't be thinking "Huh, just how DID he manage that? And what powers it?" You know?

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

Well thanks for considering at least. I just always check for plot holes.

 

The team idea is still awesome and this needs to be done.

Thinking back on it, assuming that they were created to fight the Power Ponies (which is still up in the air) then it wouldn't make sense for the Antimattercorn to invent her own power. More likely she'd be made with it already. But she's also a mad scientist type, so the invention thing is a staple of the archetype... Looks like I have a dilemma.

 

By the way, the idea was formed before the Power Ponies comic, so no one was sure if Matterhorn was a unicorn, alicorn, or what (since alicorn Twilight took on her role in the episode). I'd heard ideas that maybe Matterhorn was a pegasus with a mechanical horn and sorta rolled with that idea for mine.

Similarly no one knew what Humdrum's race was, so my idea uses that as well

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

Well like I said, she doesn't have to be the one making her inventions. Someone else could actually make them while she designs. I'm just very detail oriented, and actually do question how stuff works. A Peg actually building complicated machines with such low dexterity is a big detail causing a plot hole. At least that's how I see it. So I've offered you two ways to plug the hole.

 

Change race to Uni, and the device can be either electrical or magic.

Keep the race as is, but she can't be dexterous enough to build her own stuff and would need an assistant. If the team was created by being given their stuff, she doesn't need to be intelligent at all though. I see your dilemma.

 

Thirdly, you could take a page from my book and base Antimatterhorn on my character Lektra. Just flip the alignment to evil and change the talent.

I get your points, but you really don't get to decide that Pegasi can't be dextrous. That's never been established in the show and, while a logical assumption, is just an assumption. Tools exist, you know.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

Well we've never seen them use really complicated stuff. There's no proof they can, either. It's unexplored territory, really.

 

As for tools, there's still a bunch of tools that would require opposable thumbs or magic. Again unexplored territory, since we don't know if all their tools are like ours.

 

I was just offering creative speculation to plug a plot hole. It's your idea, I love it, and just trying to help out a bit. Really sorry of I came off a bit strong. I meant no disrespect, I swear.

No problem, I'm not trying to be all defensive or anything. But my assessment is that in a comic book city like Maretropolis, it's not a leap of logic that there are probably tools that could allow a pegasus to finely move small objects. Heck, I'm not entirely sure why tweezers in the mouth wouldn't be sufficient.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

Oh OK, just making sure. But that's just crazy enough to work!

 

So what was this about the evil counterpart team being made before the episode aired?

[Dulset Tarn 441]

Hah, no no no. The episode aired, but because the mane 6 were cast as the heroes, we didn't actually know anything about the real heroes, like whether Matterhorn was supposed to be an alicorn, or what Humdrum is supposed to be. Later on the comic came out, which answered these questions. My team was made between the two, after the episode but before the comic.

[Lucky Star 971]

I could see this being super popular if it got a fanfiction!

the popularity could rival a lot of the viral fan content that everybody talks about.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

I don't read the comics, so just to satisfy my curiosity, what additional info were we told about the real heroes the M6 replaced in the episode?

Well I didn't actually READ it but Matterhorn is a unicorn, Humdrum is a small earth pony, and some of them have some weird speech patterns (Zapp uses old english, for example).

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

That's actually kinda cool. Well, up to you if you wanna keep the races mirrored or use the idea we had in PM.

 Right so what you're thinking about is The Parallel Earth's The Injustice Syndicate... or was it The Justice Lords? Evil versions of The Justice League. eh it could work? I'm definitely liking the return to Power Ponies idea.

See, those guys are from another universe, with the same powers as the heroes. Mine are made to beat them, with powers that trump the heroes'.
