* Prequel: This ia implied to be the case for the Mane-Iac side story, which seems to be an in-universe comic Human Rainbow Dash is reading, since Rainbow Dash seems perplexed by the idea of a Pony Mane-Iac and dimisses the idea as "weird", which she would hardly do had she already experienced her adventures during the ''Equestria Girls'' movies.

In a separate side-story at the end of the issue, Mane-iac escapes from prison and returns to the lair where her hair dryer of doom (from "Power Ponies") lays in ruins. Amidst the destruction she finds a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls strange mirror]] and, drawn through it, finds herself in a world populated by humans. Curious as to this new world and what evil she can make, she explores and runs into the human version of Mane-iac. The two do not immediately recognize the other and begin to fight, but soon discover they really are the same, beyond the species difference. The two take about their past exploits and agree that they can work together in their separate universes to complete their evil goals. Human Mane-iac says goodbye as the pony version returns to her own world. Human Rainbow Dash, who has been reading this comic, is perplexed by the pony version of Mane-iac.

[[caption-width-right:300:Go Go Power Ponies!]]
->Story by Ted Anderson, Art by Ben Bates
A story that takes place entirely in the comic world of "Power Ponies", including the actual versions of these characters and Humdrum (himself a pony here).
The Power Ponies stop several of Maretropolis' villains and put them into Balkham Asylum, earning the praise of the city. But behind the scenes, the Ponies are rather antagonistic towards each other, much to Humdrum's dismay.
In Balkham, Mane-iac meets with four other criminals: Long-Face, High Heel, Pharaoh Phetlock, and Smudge, and suggests that they work together to defeat the Power Ponies, as operating alone hasn't worked in the past. With the aid of a sixth, Shadowmane, they are able to break out of prison and begin their scheme. Later, the Power Ponies are alerted to new danger in Maretropolis but find themselves against all six of Mane-iac's team. The villains easily overpower the superheroes (and tie up Humdrum), and take them to Mane-iac's lair. There, she uses a device that transfers the innate superpowers from the Power Ponies into her gang of six, and with their new-found super abilities, begin to ravage the city.
Humdrum helps to free the others, who fear without their powers all is lost, but their sidekick recalls a show on television that teaches of the strength of friendship and how it can overcome even the greatest villain. After running the Power Ponies through an intense friendship training montage, the group is ready to go off and face the Mane-iac and her gang - only to be caught immediately in a trap. As the villains gloat to themselves, the Power Ponies manage to escape, and secretly goad the villains into distrusting themselves. With the villains angry at each other, the Power Ponies have enough time to reverse the effects of Mane-iac's power swapping machine, and restore their abilities. The Mane-iac and others are quickly subdued by the Power Ponies. As the story concludes, the Power Ponies ask Humdrum about this show he got his idea for, and he takes them back to their tower to show them several episodes of ''[[MyLittlePhony My Little Donkey]]''.
