* BigBad: General Zod ([[spoiler: who's been posing as Prince Blueblood]]) in the first arc, {{Brainiac}} and [[LexLuthor Alexander Silversmith]] share this role in the second arc.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Silversmith. He is an {{Expy}} of LexLuthor, after all.

* {{Expy}}: Scootaloo seems kinda similar to JimmyOlsen with her friendship with Supermare/Rainbow Dash, asked by RD to do tasks, and extremely excitable in her presence.

* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/164183/a-dark-knight-over-trottingham A Dark Knight Over Trottingham]]'': Blueblood has lived in the shadow of his parents' murder for some time. But when his life is thrown out of balance once again, he will begin a journey that shall make him a legend. [[{{Batman}} A Dark Knight]]. In Progress.

* StealthHiBye: Batpony (the local {{Batman}} {{expy}}) does this several times to Rainbow Dash in their multipart side story crossover.

** The first side story is one long shout out to CalvinAndHobbes, with Rainbow pretending to be a superhero and trying to vanquish her enemy "Mom Lady".

* TheDon: The griffon known as the Falcon controls all the crime in Trottingham.

* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: Blueblood doesn't take the board meeting very seriously, focusing on solving a Rubik's Cube instead.

* ForegoneConclusion: Being as it starts seven years before ''Mare of Steel'', we know it's only a matter of time before [[spoiler: Zod kidnaps and replaces Blueblood]].

* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/48490/mare-of-steel Mare of Steel]]'': The story that started the universe. After returning home from a meteor shower, Rainbow Dash finds a green rock that makes her violently ill when she touches it. Later, she begins a journey to discover just who she is and what her place in Equestria is, becoming the hero [[{{Superman}} Supermare]]. Complete.

** Brainiac's VillainousBreakdown shares a line with [[MassEffect2 Harbinger]]

** Diana.

* DisappearedDad: Rainbow's father Thunderhead died six years before the beginning of the story.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: WordOfGod is that originally, there wasn't going to be a whole series of stories, but rather just this one. It would have continued past the second arc to Rainbow Dash and the other Mane Six fighting off [[spoiler: Darkseid]], with the fallout causing Rainbow Dash to go into self-imposed exile. Then there would have been a TimeSkip, followed by adaptations of ''Film/SupermanReturns'', "Superman vs. [[NinetiesAntiHero the Elite]]", and ''TheDeathOfSuperman'' before finally finishing. However, the author was inspired to write a whole series of crossovers, so those plans were scrapped.
** The Red Kryptonite side story was supposed to also feature Twilight tinkering with ''Pink'' Kryptonite, but that was cut.

* WeirdnessCensor: Soarin' is initially shocked to see Diana, an Earth Pony, fly under her own power, but quickly gets used to it, admitting that with all the weird stuff he's seen in such a short period of time, it's nothing to get worked up over.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the first chapter of ''In Brightest Day'', Cadence mentions getting a letter from Twilight talking about a research assignment she's gotten to study some artifacts from the Canterlot archives. Flash-forward to a later published chapter of ''Princess of Themyscira'', which reveals that the artifacts in question are [[ComicBook/DoctorFate the Helmet of Nabu and Amulet of Anubis]], which WordOfGod states Twilight will don.

!! ''Princess of Themyscira'' provides examples of:

* EverybodyHatesHades: Subverted. Hades shows up, but outright refuses to aid Ares in his plans, not even when offered a way to ensure he gets plenty of souls for his domain (stating that everyone ends up there eventually anyway). In fact, the only way Ares gets any support from Tartarus is that Persephone tells him about the Alicorn Amulet's abilities, because she somehow thinks she's helping her husband out.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: When the portal Ares opens to Tartarus is sealed, he ends up sucked inside.]]

* SealedEvilInACan: Ares' master plan is to unleash the army of demons created during the Olympians' war with the Titans, which were sealed away in Tartarus. [[spoiler: He succeeds, but Twilight/Nabu sends them back, and Ares himself ends up sealed with them when he's sucked into the closing portal.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: Persephone.

* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/103936/the-princess-of-themyscira The Princess of Themyscira]]'': Soarin' washes ashore on a far away island, where he is found by [[WonderWoman Diana, Princess of Themyscira and Daughter of Hippolyta]]. Although initially hostile, Diana sees Soarin' as a means to leave Themyscira and explore the mortal realm, and with the manipulations of [[GodOfEvil Ares]] becoming apparent she may just get her chance. In Progress.

* SealedEvilInACan: Ares master plan is to unleash the army of demons created during the Olympians' war with the Titans, which were sealed away in Tartarus. [[spoiler: He succeeds, but Twilight/Nabu sends them back, and Ares himself ends up sealed with them when he's sucked into the closing portal.]]

* ArtifactOfDoom: Apparently, the Alicorn Amulet can, in addition to being an AmplifierArtifact, also open a portal to Tartarus and summon the creatures there.

** ArbitrarySkepticism: This is despite Cadance having had tea withan alien superhero and being best friends with a demigoddess - which, oddly, is pointed out by ''Cadance herself'' beforehand when Shining says that he doesn't expect her to believe him.
