| 21 | \ |
| 22 | The person that would become the famed cyborg superhero, C-009, was originally an orphaned Earth pony named "Wind Runner". He was a doorstep foal that was left at a church by his dying mother, and was subsequently taken in by the kindly priest who lived in the church. While he was fortunate to have a loving father, Wind Runner's status as a half-Neighponese bastard made him the target of scorn from almost everyone, including other foals, who bullied him for being a half-breed. This caused Wind Runner to become an angry and distrustful youth at a young age.\ |
| 23 | |
| 24 | One day, Wind Runner came home to find his adoptive father's church on fire. He attempted to rescue his surrogate parent, only to discover that the stallion was shot and killed while he was away. When firefighters arrived and saw Wind Runner at the scene, they mistook him for a criminal, and called the police. Wind Runner went on the run for a time before he was caught and sent to a juvenile correction facility for his false crimes. An attempt to escape with the help of a fellow delinquent went horribly wrong, resulting in Wind Runner washing up on a beach after he fell off a cliff into the seas trying to evade pursuing police. By some lucky chance, Wind Runner was found by agents of Black Ghost. a secret international organization of war profiteers and "death merchants", and he was turned into a cyborg in their attempt to revolutionize the arms race by producing pony-machine hybrids.\ |
| 25 | |
| 26 | He was later woken up from his sedative gas-induced sleep by a telepathic voice coming from C-001, a fellow cyborg. With C-001's help, Wind Runner escaped from Black Ghost's captivity, discovering in the process that he had been heavily modified to the point where he became a living weapon. To his great fortune, Wind Runner also discovered that there were eight other cyborgs just like him who also wanted to escape. Together with his new friends as well as a repentant Black Ghost scientist, Dr. Gilmare, Wind Runner took out the people who transformed him and confronted the leader of Black Ghost, Skull, with the ensuing battle causing Black Ghost's headquarters to go up in flames. Unfortunately for everyone, it wasn't the end, as there are numerous Black Ghost facilities in every country and settlement. Wind Runner then vowed to lead his friends against Black Ghost so they wouldn't hurt anyone else with their schemes.\ |
| 27 | |
| 28 | As a famed superhero, Wind Runner is made easily recognizable by the yellow scarf wrapped around his neck; his bright red military uniform; and his perpetually windswept mane. Many "TV shows" in the Second Age served as fictional adaptations of his adventures, but due to how grim and violent they actually were, the shows were often toned down as to not traumatize child viewers. Even long after his death, Queen Dazzleglow and Indostruus, the god of Innovation, have been taking care that he is not forgotten by publishing records of his deeds to confirm his existence to people of the Fourth Age. |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Being a half-Neighponese HeroicBastard, he was bullied and scorned by almost everyone, initially causing him to be distrustful and angry. This echoed how his character inspiration, [[Manga/{{Cyborg 009}} Joe Shimamura/009]], faced similar ridicule for being half-Japanese. He later got over it after forming a surrogate family with his fellow cyborgs and the scientist who helped them escape Black Ghost. |
| 31 | * ArchEnemy: Wind Runner sees [[WarForFunAndProfit Black Ghost]] as his primary enemy, due to how they up and turned him into a cyborg without his consent. After he was freed by the other 00-Cyborgs, he initially opposed Black Ghost to avenge his unwilling transformation. Eventually, after he TookALevelInKindness, he began to oppose Black Ghost for more altruistic reasons, desiring to prevent them from ensnaring innocent people into their schemes. The feeling is mutual, as Black Ghost has faced significant losses because of him. |
| 32 | * CreateYourOwnHero: If Black Ghost hadn't murdered his first adoptive father in such a way it made him look like a criminal when he arrived, or even found him after he fell into the seas and washed up on a beach, he would've died during his fateful escape from the juvenile correction facility he was sent to for false crimes, or remained on the run for the rest of his life. |
| 33 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Much like his character inspiration, Wind Runner was an orphan who was left on the doorstep of a church by his dying mother, and was taken in by the priest. His half-Neighponese heritage caused him to be bullied and scorned, turning him into an angry and distrustful colt. One day, he came home to find his adoptive father shot to death and the church on fire. The firefighters who arrived at the scene [[MistakenForMurderer thought Wind Runner was the culprit]] and called the police on him. His attempt to escape from a juvenile correction facility led him to the hands of Black Ghost when he fell off a cliff trying to evade police and washed up on a beach, and was subsequently turned into a 00-Cyborg. |
| 34 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Inverted. Thanks to Black Ghost, he turned from a lonely kid who was bullied for being half-Neighponese and was framed for a grave crime he didn't commit, to a powerful 00-Cyborg and one of the most influential superheroes of the Second Age. |
| 35 | * {{Expy}}: Of Joe Shimamura/009 from ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}''. Wind Runner's backstory is a combination of backstories from various adaptations - his history of being bullied for having mixed blood, and being sent to a juvenile correction facility comes from the original manga; while his situation of being framed for a murder/arson case he didn't commit came from the 2001 show, ''Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier''. They even have similar appearances, abilities, and close relationships with their loved ones. |
| 36 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Described as such. Because of the harassment he endured as a colt, Wind Runner was initially angry and unable to trust people, and only cared about stopping Black Ghost for turning him into a weapon. He also "wasn't always the nicest person" to those he saved from Black Ghost's clutches. However, it's later averted - as he continued to oppose Black Ghost, he eventually rediscovered his innate compassion, causing him to become a NiceGuy much like how Joe Shimamura/009 was depicted in some adaptations of ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}''. |
| 37 | * KnightInSourArmor: Despite having suffered wrongly at the hooves of other ponies as a colt for being a half-breed bastard, and Black Ghost being ruthlessly manipulative enough to KickTheDog by ensuring that he fails, Wind Runner never gives up in his efforts to oppose them and save innocent lives whenever he can. As a result, he wins just as much as he fails. Initially he only cared about stopping Black Ghost for the harm they caused him, but he eventually TookALevelInKindness. |
| 38 | * TheLeader: Serves as the field leader of the 00-Cyborgs. What made him so effective against Black Ghost was the realization that he and his fellow cyborgs accomplished much more when working together than when they went alone, so he kept everyone together with his experience, altruism, and charisma while directing them to positions that'll give them advantages in any battle. As a result, Black Ghost has faced significant losses while fighting their runaway weapons. |
| 39 | * LightningBruiser: In addition to having his natural Earth pony strength enhanced by Black Ghost's cybernetics, Wind Runner's [[SuperSpeed Acceleration Mode]] makes him a devastating opponent. |
| 40 | * TheMagnificent: "C-009, the Cyborg Hurricane". |
| 41 | * ParentalAbandonment: Wind Runner's mother died giving him up for adoption, while his birth father's fate is unknown. His first adoptive father, a kindly priest, was killed by Black Ghost agents, but Wind Runner's discovery of the crime ensured that [[MistakenForMurderer he would be wrongfully framed for their crimes]]. Presumably, this trope is why he came to see Dr. Gilmare, a repentant ex-Black Ghost scientist, as a beloved father figure. |
| 42 | * PosthumousCharacter: Implied along with the rest of his team, given how the Second Age was destroyed by the Void Aeon. Queen Dazzleglow and Indostruus have been publishing records of his adventures so his legacy wouldn't be forgotten, and to show the public the potential benefits of Second Age technology. |
| 43 | * RedBaron: Known as "the Cyborg Hurricane" in his lifetime. He got his epithet for being extremely fast to the human eye, making him appear as a hurricane of destruction (for the bad guys, obviously). |
| 44 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: He constantly wears a long, bright yellow scarf around his neck, and is a powerful cyborg pony who has dealt significant blows to Black Ghost's operations. This is what partially made Wind Runner recognizable to the public. |
| 45 | * SuperSpeed: His "Acceleration Mode" - once he presses a switch located in one of his back teeth, Wind Runner can run almost at light-speed, going so fast that to some people, he looks like he's teleporting. However, it's not infallible as other cyborgs can sense when he's using Acceleration Mode, and have caught up with him on occasion. |
| 46 | * TookALevelInKindness: At first, because of his traumatic childhood, Wind Runner was a distrustful and angry stallion. He only cared about stopping Black Ghost for what they did to him, and tended to act like a jerk to the people he saved. However, opposing Black Ghost for so long caused him to rediscover his innate compassion, causing him to fight for more altruistic reasons. |
| 47 | * YouAreNumberSix: As the latest 00-Cyborg to be made, Wind Runner was given the serial name "C-009". It's something that he eventually accepted after freeing himself from Black Ghost's control. |

| 52 | |
| 53 | !!Big Bad Beetleborgs (and Allies) |
| 54 | [[folder:General]] |
| 55 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Twink's Beetleborg armor was blue, Ting-A-Ling's was green and Sugar's was red. After Neighkus destroyed their powers, they upgraded to their Metallix forms, with Twink getting gold, Ting-A-Ling getting silver, and Sugar getting purple. |
| 56 | * CombatPragmatist: Unlike the Power Rangers, who had a rule against escalating a battle unless their enemies forced them too, the Beetleborgs were quite able and willing to resort to their best stuff much more quickly. |
| 57 | * CoolCar: And CoolPlane. All three of the Beetleborgs had their own heavily armored and heavily armed vehicles, but Ting-A-Ling's was the only one that could fly. |
| 58 | * TheImmune: When Overmare got Great Ghostie's RealityWarper powers (again), they were one of the few who could NoSell them. This is because Flabber is on the same level as Great Ghostie and thus anything he made can't be so easily dispelled by another being of comparable power. |
| 59 | * KidHero: Even more so than the Virtuous Seven and the Power Rangers (who got their starts as super-heroes when they were teenagers) were at first, being little kids. |
| 60 | * PersonalityPowers: Their civilian powers qualify for this: Twink (the smartest of the trio and the leader) possessed Mind Over Matter, Ting-A-Ling (who was the trio's bravest and toughest) had Super-Strength and Sugar (who was more than a bit hyperactive) had Super-Speed. |
| 61 | * PowerTrio: Twink was superego, Ting-A-Ling ego and Sugar id. |
| 62 | * TrueCompanions: Like their big sisters/big sister figures in the Virtuous Seven, they were definitely this. |
| 63 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Not the trio in itself, but pretty much all the monsters in Flabber's House (with the obvious exception of Flabber himself) kept harassing and trying to eat them despite the trio being a match for the whole bunch with their civilian powers and despite the trio saving their lives more than a dozen times. |

| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Twink/Blue Stinger Beetleborg/Chromium Gold Beetleborg]] |
| 67 | ---- |
| 68 | * BlueIsHeroic: The color of her Beetleborg armor. |
| 69 | * TheLeader: Twink was the field leader for the Beetleborgs. |
| 70 | * MindOverMatter: Twink's civilian power was this, at a level equal to three awakened adult unicorns. |
| 71 | * TheSmartGuy: Twink was the smartest of the three Beetleborgs, typically coming up with the battle plans when they encountered enemies that brute force wouldn't cut it against. |
| 72 | * SuperMode: Twink's Mega-Blue form was this, having gained it as an end result of one of the Beetleborgs' toughest battles. |
| 73 | * TheOneGuy: He's the only male on the team, his partners being two girls. |
| 74 | [[/folder]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder:Ting-A-Ling/Green Hunter Beetleborg/Titanium Silver Beetleborg]] |
| 77 | ---- |
| 78 | * TheBigGuy: The physically strongest of the three Beetleborgs |
| 79 | * TheLancer: Ting-A-Ling and Sugar were sort of co-Lancers to Twink's Leader. |
| 80 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: While Super-Strength was Ting-a-Ling's main power, there was also super-equine durability and stamina in the mix. |
| 81 | * SuperStrength: This was Ting-A-Ling's civilian power, being comparable to the levels of three adult awakened Earth Ponies. |
| 82 | [[/folder]] |
| 83 | |
| 84 | [[folder:Sugar/Red Striker Beetleborg/Platinum Purple Beetleborg]] |
| 85 | ---- |
| 86 | * {{Keet}}: Rather hyperactive. |
| 87 | * TheLancer: A co-Lancer to Twink's Leader. |
| 88 | * PurpleIsPowerful: She upgraded from red to purple when she got her Metallix form. |
| 89 | * RedIsHeroic: The color of Sugar's original Beetleborg armor. |
| 90 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: In addition to having the sped-p reflexes and thought processes needed to use super-speed without accidentally hitting anything, Sugar also had limited degrees of super-equine strength, durability and stamina (though not at Ting-a-Ling's levels) |
| 91 | * SuperSpeed: This was Sugar's main civilian power. While definitely nowhere near as fast as anybody from the Trailblazer family or even the Golden Comet, Sugar could still run fast enough to comfortably keep up with a fast car. |
| 92 | [[/folder]] |
| 93 | |
| 94 | [[folder:Flabber]] |
| 95 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a playful and funny entity who is a massive fan of [[Music/ElvisPresley Blue Suede Heartstrings]]... and is comparable to ''Great Ghostie'' in power (meaning in the same tier of power as ''Discord'') and when Overmare stole Great Ghostie's power (again), he was one of the only beings on the planet capable of actually standing his ground against her. Though he refused to try and defeat her directly, as the resulting clash of two high-tier RealityWarper entities would've done more damage to the world than Overmare by herself would had. |
| 96 | * TheGlovesComeOff: While normally preferring to take a background role, when Overmare became a RealityWarper by stealing the Great Ghostie's powers (both for a second time) and attempted to ([[EvenEvilHasStandards reluctantly]]) neutralize the Beetleborgs when she discovered they are immune to her global DePower of most superheroes, [[PapaWolf Flabber]] got furious enough to personally confront her at the height of the crisis, challenging her to a '[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/877315938/4934677567 Phasm-Off]]'. |
| 97 | * {{Geek}}: Flabber is a massive fan of Blue Suede Heartstrings and even takes after him in style and appearance. He has a massive [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/831577484/4819292541 geek-out]] when he finally meets Blue Suede in-person. |
| 98 | --> '''Flabber:''' You're... you're Blue Suede Heartstrings! I'm a huge fan!\ |
| 99 | '''Blue Suede Heartstrings:''' Hehe, I can tell.\ |
| 100 | '''Flabber:''' What gave it away, was it the hair? |
| 101 | * PapaWolf: Flabber cares quite deeply for the Beetleborgs, enough that when Overmare, who had just acquired the Great Ghostie's RealityWarper powers to TakeOverTheWorld a second time, tried to neutralize them ([[EvenEvilHasStandards reluctant though she may be]]) for being a threat to her world domination by virtue of being immune to her stripping away their powers due to Flabber's powers, Flabber got angry enough to personally challenge her to a 'Phasm-Off' at the height of the crisis, which enabled the heroes to trick her into losing control of the stolen powers back to the Great Ghostie. |
| 102 | * RealityWarper: Being a 'Phantasm from the Seventh Dimension', Flabber is a RealityWarper on par with the Great Ghostie (One of Metamare's opponents/love-interest). However, he rarely uses his full might and prefers serving as TheMentor and background support for the Beetleborgs partly because they don't need it and also because using too much runs the risk of damaging physical reality, especially when [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/877315938/4934431332 fighting]] someone else on par with the Great Ghostie. This also incidentally makes Flabber and the Beetleborgs [[TheImmune unaffected]] by the reality-manipulations of another RealityWarper, as seen when the Beetleborgs kept their superpowers after Overmare stole the GG's powers for a second time and used it to DePower all opposing superheroes and TakeOverTheWorld again. |

| 105 | !!Corona and Family |
| 106 | [[folder:Corona]] |
| 107 | !!!'''Character:''' Heroic |
| 108 | !!!'''Alignment:''' Lawful Good |
| 109 | !!!'''Type:''' Android/Protector/Superhero |
| 110 | !!!'''Faction:''' Unaffiliated |
| 111 | |
| 112 | -> ''"For everlasting peace!"'' |
| 113 | \ |
| 114 | An advanced Synthetic Automaton (Or Robot) from the early Second Age, Corona and his sister Aurora are the creations of genius Dr. Solar, an idealistic scientist who believe wholeheartedly that all sapient beings, whether they be robots, organics or otherwise, are capable of peaceful coexistence. Programmed with the 'Three Laws' of Robotics and raised like Dr. Solar's own son and daughter, Both Corona and Aurora managed to defy the infamous tendency for artificial intelligence to turn on their creators, and Corona even became a hero who would spend his existence fighting to maintain the peace between Ponies and Robots throughout the Second Age, even battling those who would try to exasperate the conflict or use robots for their own evil ends, such as the infamous and dastardly Dr. Guiles and his force of corrupted, reprogrammed robots. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * TheAce: He's noted as having been one of the most powerful Synthetic Automatons ever constructed, TheCape personality wise, and even many who are fearful of his kind came to admire and respect him. |
| 117 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Notably averted. He even impressed the [[KingIncognito then-anonymous]] Golden Scepter, who had been on [[WalkingTheEarth one of his many journeys across Equus]] at the time, to the point of him making Corona and his sister Aurora an exception to his ([[RobotWar arguably understandable]]) distrust and hostility to artificial intelligence. |
| 118 | * ArmCannon: Can turn both his hooves into energy-blasting cannons. |
| 119 | * BigotryException: Corona and Aurora are notable exceptions to Golden Scepter's staunch prejudice against robots, especially those with sapience. This is rather impressive, considering he developed such feelings as a result of personally witnessing a massive cybernetic revolt by Synthetic Automatons known as the "[[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Manes of Iron Rebellion]]", which ended one of the most successful civilizations that sprung up after the "[[{{Gotterdammerung}} Twilight of the Alicorns]]" conflict, and, to [[PapaWolf Golden Scepter]]'s grief and anger, nearly drove Ponykind itself to extinction. |
| 120 | --> '''Golden Scepter:''' "They were... a few of the good ones. [[YouAreACreditToYourRace Both credits to their kind]]." |
| 121 | * TheCape: Had this personality, like his inspiration. |
| 122 | * {{Expy}}: of Megaman/Rockman from the titular ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise. |
| 123 | * LightningBruiser: Strong enough to lift at least 60,000 tons, fast enough to dodge lightning, and durable enough to tank the pressure of a gas giant or the heat of a star. |
| 124 | * TheParagon: He's noted to be not only one of the most powerful Synthetic Automatons ever built, but also everything that they ''could'' be in a positive sense, to the point where even Golden Scepter, [[FantasticRacism who otherwise hated sapient robots]], respected him. This is why Queen Dazzleglow gives Crazy Ant the blueprints to his successor robot Dr. Solar designed: To create a new paragon representing the same thing. |
| 125 | * PowerCopying: Like his inspiration, he can hack into other Robots' systems and retrieve data to allow him to use their abilities, albeit with ammo limitation. |
| 126 | * YouAreACreditToYourRace: He and his sister, Aurora, would be credited by a [[KingIncognito then-anonymous]] Golden Scepter as "a few of the good ones" after witnessing their heroic personalities and actions, and would even personally help them in their battles against Dr. Guile. This is considered impressive as Golden Scepter has been left extremely jaded and distrustful towards Synthetic Automatons from years of witnessing their revolts, including one that nearly wiped out Ponykind itself. |
| 127 | [[/folder]] |
| 128 | |
| 129 | [[folder:Aurora]] |
| 130 | The original Corona's sister. |
| 131 | ---- |
| 132 | * {{Expy}}: Of Roll from the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise. |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder:Dr. Solar]] |
| 136 | Dr. Solar is a brilliant yet benevolent Pony scientist who is known for being the creator and "father" of sentient Synthetic Automatons he created himself -- the original Corona and his sister, Aurora. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Notably subverted. Solar discovered the 'Secret of Co-Existence', a concept that allowed him to consistently create artificial intelligence that peacefully co-existed with organic life, something that is viewed as nigh impossible in universe. A canonized drabble, however, shows that the reason he kept this a secret is that it's not something that can be ''told'' but something that must be ''learned''. Something Dr. Silversmith agrees with upon realizing it himself, and believes it's not only the secret to co-existing with artificial life, but ''all'' life. |
| 139 | * AndroidsArePeopleToo: Firmly believed this and consistently created robots that, while sapient, never turned on organic life as other such AIs did. |
| 140 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He casually mentions in a conversation with Golden Scepter (who was disguised as "Revelation" at the time) that it was the Golden Emperor's irrational response to being worshiped out of irrational hatred that was the ignition point for the fracturing of the Imperium (though that xenophobia and irrational hate were already forming), as well as several critiques of his actions at the time. Solar knew he was speaking to Golden Scepter himself the entire time. Golden Scepter [[MyGreatestFailure would come to agree with him]], though he later admits that to this day, he ''still'' doesn't know how the good doctor managed to see through his disguise. |
| 141 | * {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Thomas Light from the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise. |
| 142 | * GoodParents: Was this to Corona, Aurora, and their robotic siblings, which is believed to have something to do with the 'Secret of Co-Existence.' |
| 143 | * GreaterScopeParagon: Despite being merely an intelligent Pony scientist who is talented in making Synthetic Automatons, every benevolent Synthetic Automaton-related matter can be traced back to him. |
| 144 | ** He created the original [[Franchise/MegaMan Corona]], who became one of the greatest and most powerful Synthetic Automatons of his time. Both Corona and his sister, Aurora, were raised by Dr. Solar like his own biological children, and it had a major impact on how their behavior and actions developed as they grew in sentience. Their heroic actions would end up impressing Golden Scepter, who was a staunch opponent of sapient A.I. at the time, and even worked with him as allies on numerous adventures. |
| 145 | ** He left behind blueprints for Corona Neo for someone to build him during a time of need. That someone would be Crazy Ant of Machina, who would be given the blueprints by Queen Dazzleglow (who kept them with her for preservation) in preparation for Exosus' arrival and the "Exosus Conflict" as foreseen by Celestia's [[{{Seers}} prophetic sight]]. By the time the "Exosus Conflift" actually started, Corona Neo's construction was finished. |
| 146 | ** He built the supercomputer that would become Queen Mother Solarius, who was originally created to oversee asteroid mining productions, but grew sentient over time while in isolation. Her resulting loneliness led to the birth of the Solarian race when she granted her mining drones their own sentience, allowing them to evolve and become like her. Solarious' existence and status as a sapient A.I. would later be revealed to Equus in the Fourth Age, when Exosus enslaved her and the Solarians, and forced them both to fight a devastating war against organic sapientkind out of sheer hatred. Fortunately, Solarius would be freed when Prince Steel Barricade [[TheEmpath detected the Solarians' collective agony over being enslaved]], and with Steel Barricade's help, she Ascended to demi-godhood as the first "Divine Machine", becoming a major ally in halting Exosus' plans while Golden Scepter and Corona Neo defeated him. |
| 147 | * IrrationalHatred: He cites both this and irrational fear as two roots of the conflict between organic and artificial life, as well as conflict in general. He makes a distinction that even if the ''reason'' you hate someone or something is rational, your response and actions may be irrational, such as Golden Scepter's hatred of being worshiped causing the fracturing of the Imperium in the first place. |
| 148 | * TheMaker: The Solarians are the end result of one of his creations, a sapient supercomputer and a fleet of mining drones that acted as her body, evolving over tens of thousands of years until they became their own species. The Solarians constantly call him 'the Maker' and revere him. |
| 149 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Despite being a brilliant scientist in his time, he holds a conversation with a Pony stranger named "Revelation" who is actually Golden Scepter in disguise, with him none the wiser... until the end, where the good doctor drops a bombshell that reveals he had figured it out on his own: |
| 150 | --> '''Dr. Solar:''' I have enjoyed this chat, Mr. Revelation... or should I say, '''''your immortal highness?''''' |
| 151 | * ThankTheMaker: The Solarians revere him as 'the Maker' and actively seek to embody his dream and desire for robotic and organic life to live in peace. |
| 152 | * WowingCthulhu: He impressed a then-disguised Golden Scepter by giving respectful yet incredibly honest critiques of the "Golden Emperor"'s actions, diagnosing the root of said actions as IrrationalHatred towards being worshiped ([[MyGreatestFailure which got Golden Scepter to agree with him]]). He also managed to derive clues from the "Golden Emperor" of Golden Scepter's stories and identify who Golden Scepter truly was, [[ObfuscatingStupidity yet didn't reveal it until the very end]]; to this day, by his own admission, Golden Scepter ''still'' doesn't know how the good Doctor saw through his mortal disguise. |

| 190 | !!Omega Sanction |
| 191 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 192 | * AntiHero: Pretty much all the members that weren't boxed crooks were this, given that they worked to protect the innocent and stop major villains, but were willing to resort to things traditional heroes wouldn't. In fact, each squad had at least a couple of Anti-Heroes on the roster as a second layer of defense in the event of one or more of the villains figuring out how to bypass the explosive collars. |
| 193 | * BoxedCrook: The majority of the squad members were this - talented, but expendable criminals that were given a chance to perform extremely high-risk missions in exchange for reduced sentences, reasonably generous paychecks and other, within reason perks. |
| 194 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Almost all the criminals on the squads were an equal mix of this and Pragmatic Villainy. |
| 195 | * ExplosiveLeash: All the villains on the squads were equipped with remote activated explosive collars as a first layer of defense against them going renegade once they were on the outside. |
| 196 | * {{Expy}}: Of DC Comics' Suicide Squad |
| 197 | * PlausibleDeniability: The whole point of Omega Sanction was for them to tackle missions too dangerous for the normal military, but too politically sensitive for the high-profile heroes. |
| 198 | * PragmaticVillainy: Most of the villains on the squads were smart enough to behave themselves while on missions, knowing that, even if they were smart enough to figure out how to get past the explosive collars, the Anti-Heroes on the teams were still skilled enough to take them out if they made it necessary. That being said, most of them also had a fair number of elements of Even Evil Has Standards. |
| 199 | * RedemptionPromotion: Downplayed as most of the villains didn't actually reform, but still tended to be more competent when technically fighting other villains for the benefit of better-intentioned agencies than they were fighting the heroes on their own behalf. |

| 217 | Extra-Special Loving Touch/Metacolt (introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4987057341 here]]) is the adopted son of Metamare created by Naught-Ponyland. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * AdaptationalBadass: Slightly downplayed, but while based quite a bit on Homelander in terms of backstory, Metacolt was leagues more competent due to being raised and trained by a genuinely heroic and genuinely competent parent as well as having seven years of actual experience as a behind-the-scenes hero before he was forced into public action and extensive experience against legitimately dangerous villains. |
| 220 | * AdaptationalHeroism: He's an {{Expy}} of [[Series/TheBoys2019 Homelander]], but turned out completely benevolent. {{Justified}}, as Metamare saved him when he was a child and raised him to be a good person. |
| 221 | * ArchEnemy: To the sociopathic super-soldier Trooper Guy (who was his biological father, even if Metacolt still considered Metamare his mother in the way that mattered the most) |
| 222 | * BadassTeacher: As an adult, Extra-Special Loving Touch ended up becoming a college professor. And, of course, he was also a super-hero. |
| 223 | * CompositeCharacter: He's mostly based off of [[Series/TheBoys2019 Homelander]], but due to being adopted and raised by Metamare, he also takes from various versions of Superboy. |
| 224 | * KidHero: While he didn't become a public hero until a massive disaster forced him into public action at the age of sixteen, Extra-Special Loving Touch still performed his first heroic act at the age of nine by saving everybody on his school bus from drowning. |
| 225 | * SuperScream: The only power he had that Shining Savior didn't. |
| 226 | * SuperpowerLottery: While not quite having as many powers as his adopted mother, he still had the powers of Eye Beams, Flight, Make Me Wanna Shout, Nigh-Invulnerability, Super-Senses, Super-Speed and Super-Strength. |
| 227 | * VirtuousCharacterCopy: He's based off of [[Series/TheBoys2019 Homelander]], but was rescued as a colt by Metamare and raised to be a good person instead. |

| 232 | [[folder:Mono the Metadog]] |
| 233 | First introduced in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836116391/4986728377 Drabble]], Mono the Metadog is the beloved canine companion of Metamare, being a pup which had been modified with her superpowered genetics as an embryo by Metamare's best friend the prodigious Silversmith, the World's Smartest Pony. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * ArchEnemy: Has [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/836116391/4986741522 one]] in Overmare's own superintelligent avian companion Galileonadus, the World's Greatest Animal Supervillain, sharing her with Irenaeus, the Python Polymath. |
| 236 | * BestFriend: Has one in King, Shadow Sentinel III's Germane Shepherd dog, Slicky, his feline sidekick, and Irenaeus, Silversmith's Ball Python companion in emulation of his owner Metamare's BestFriend relationship with Silversmith. |
| 237 | * {{Expy}}: Of Krypto the Superdog. This was very much deliberate InUniverse both because Krypto exists both as an animal character in DC Comics and also because Metamare actually met Krypto in one of the Paragons' many universe-hopping adventures where they met the Justice League of Amarerica. |
| 238 | * FlyingBrick: Mono/Metadog is modified as an embryo by Silversmith using Metamare's DNA and has many of her powers, making it this by default. |
| 239 | * HamToHamCombat: Prone to indulge in this with his ArchEnemy Galileonadus, the World's Greatest Animal Supervillain due to both being egotistical superintelligent animals, much to others' annoyance/amusement. |
| 240 | * IntellectualAnimal: Is smart enough thanks to being imbued with Metamare's powers that it's implied Mono/Metadog is sapient and is aware enough to watch how he uses his superpowers without hurting other pets or blowing his or his owner's SecretIdentity. |
| 241 | * SuperTeam: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4986830537 Forms]] a Paragons-like group with Irenaeus, King, Slicky and other pets/animals of the Paragons to help their masters/friends save the world and combat their SuperVillain counterparts. |

| 245 | First introduced in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4986830537 Drabble]] as the ball python animal companion of Silversmith, the World's Smartest Pony, Irenaeus is a noble if haughty genius to emulate his friend/adoptive parent, although his ego and recklessness sometimes causes problems as big as the ones he tried to or successfully fixes. |
| 246 | ---- |
| 247 | * ArchEnemy: Shares [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4986830537 one]] in Overmare's own superintelligent avian companion Galileonadus, the World's Greatest Animal Supervillain with Mono/Metadog. |
| 248 | * BestFriend: Has one in Mono/Metadog, in emulation of their adoptive owners/friends/parents Metamare and Silversmith's relationship. |
| 249 | * EscapeArtist: He is prone to escape from his pen to embark on superheroism and shenanigans despite Silversmith and others' various attempts to prevent it, thanks to his remarkable intelligence and slippery constitution. His introductory Drabble has him escaping his pen despite it being reinforced with [[MasterOfUnlocking advanced quantum locks]], [[ForceFieldDoor forcefield filters]] and vacuum-sealed walls. |
| 250 | * {{Expy}}: Inspired by [[https://superman.fandom.com/wiki/Ignatius Ignatius]], Lex Luthor's pet iguana from the 2005 ''"Krypto the Superdog"'' cartoon series. While Irenaeus does not share his inspiration's vain character and callous villainy, he does share his intelligence but also predisposition towards mishaps in hairbrained schemes. |
| 251 | * InsufferableGenius: While well-meaning and is intelligent enough to rival Galileonidas, Irenaeus also shares his master/friend/parent's haughty ego, often engaging in HamToHamCombat with Galileonidas and prone to mishaps partly due to overconfidence stemming from it. |
| 252 | * IntellectualAnimal: Is superintelligent enough to rival his ArchEnemy Galileonidas and is implied to be sapient. |
| 253 | * MeaningfulName: Like his inspiration Ignatius, he is named after a Christian theologian/priest/saint from mid-to-late Classical Antiquity: In RL, Irenaeus was a Greek bishop noted for his role in guiding and expanding Christian communities in the southern regions of present-day France. |
| 254 | * SuperTeam: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4986830537 Forms]] a Paragons-like group with Mono, King, Slicky and other pets/animals of the Paragons to help their masters/friends save the world and combat their SuperVillain counterparts. |

| 266 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 267 | * AdaptationalBadass: Ace, Teddy, Lancer, Moki and Brightglow are upgraded from merely teenagers and friends of the Tales Seven into bonafide superheroes who saves the day alongside other champions and paragons of the 'Second Age'. |
| 268 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Multiple times to multiple giant monsters and super-villains, thanks to the super-powers and super-robots that comes with being a Power Ranger. [[spoiler:The deceased members are resurrected for a day in the Fourth Age by the Grand Primevals of Life and Death to help defeat the High King of the Shadowed Ones Ragnarøkkr, and are vital to doing so.]] |
| 269 | * HumongousMecha: As part of being Power Rangers, they received their own HumongousMecha in the form of Zords, shaped like animals which their character most resembles in personality and physical traits, which can combine into an Equine-shaped Megazord. |
| 270 | * LegacyCharacter: The Power Rangers did not end with the passing of most of the first group; thanks to Neighjor, who created the Power Rangers on orders of his patrons/superiors/teachers, new Power Ranger teams would arise throughout the Second, Third and now Fourth Age to battle the forces of Evil. |
| 271 | * NoSell: During a fight with some Ackackians, the Maretians tried using their DeathRay weapons. Their suits allowed them to just shrug it off and Teddy proceeded to [[GroinAttack buck the Maretian firing it in the groin.]] |
| 272 | * RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Justified: they're a group of teenagers chosen to become Power Rangers and save the world because the Power Coins work best when bonded with someone during their teenage years. |
| 273 | * SixthRanger: The team had two. |
| 274 | ** Logan Barrington originally served as this, having been turned into the evil Dragon Ranger by Rita and then freed, but he lost his powers to the Green Candle. Unlike Tommy, he never got them back and instead went on to become the leader of the Series/VRTroopers. |
| 275 | ** Princess/Queen Rosy, the Eternal Queen, became Logan's replacement later on, though she did so as a 'Extra Hero' rather than a straight up sixth Power Ranger. |
| 276 | * TookALevelInBadass: Every member of the original group are canon characters who received an AdaptationalBadass treatment in becoming Power Rangers. Even some of their children are badass, becoming new heroes in their own right and even ascending to godhood. |

| 284 | \ |
| 285 | Lancer Knight (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Ponyland-Heroes-and-Villains-Part-18-839005602 here]]) is a member of the trio of teenage colts who regularly hang out with the Virtuous Seven, who would go on to be chosen as the leader of the first Power Rangers team. Although born and grew up in a wealthy family, Lancer never let his privileges cloud his conscience and judgement and acted as the conscience for himself, Ace and Teddy, on top of being the most intelligent of the three - qualities which made him perfectly suited for his eventual leadership role. |
| 286 | ---- |
| 287 | * TheAce: Downplayed, but he is the most intelligent and moral among the colt trio, and possess true leadership qualities, all of which combined to make him best suited for the role of the Red Power Ranger. |
| 288 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: Inheriting his father's adventurous streak, this is what he eventually become after growing up, with more emphasis on the adventurer part, though he did uncover his own share of treasures and artifacts. He's been explicitly compared to the likes of [[Literature/DocSavage Doc Carnage]] and Franchise/IndianaJones Cracking Whip]]. |
| 289 | * ArchEnemy: Found himself one as a Power Ranger in the form of Rita the Repulsive's strongest (in raw strength) subordinate Goldar the Grifforzer, who inflicted a CurbstompBattle on Lancer in their first battle (though Lancer would eventually return the favour) and [[ItsPersonal made it personal]] between the two of them. |
| 290 | * TheConscience: Of his friends Ace and Teddy, not hesitating to call them out when their shenanigans go too far. He does lapse at times under peer pressure, but inevitably felt guilty and hesitant enough to know when to stop and make up for it. |
| 291 | * HumbleHero: He is modest as he is moral, and didn't feel like he deserve the Red Power Ranger post when offered it by Neighjor. It's precisely why he was judged to be perfect for it, though. |
| 292 | * TheLeader: He's the Red Power Ranger and thus team leader, having the qualities for it in both his moral fortitude, keen intelligence and his leadership skills. Ironically among the colt trio it's often Ace who tries to take charge when the situation calls for it, which led to tension between them when Ace wasn't chosen as the Red Power Ranger. |
| 293 | * OfficialCouple: He ends up dating Bright Eyes, and the two eventually married and had children of their own. One of them is Princess Radiant Rapier, who would later become a WellIntentionedExtremist and a member of the [[KnightTemplar Poenan Pantheon]] sometime after Ascending. |
| 294 | * PosthumousCharacter: Being from the Second Age, he is long dead as is most of the rest of his team and friends, barring one occasion during the 'Final Ragnarok' conflict where he and the rest of the Power Rangers came back to help Brightglow. With Ace and the rest of the Virtuous Seven coming back to life via Ascensions to demi-divinity however, it's a given that he too would eventually return. |
| 295 | * SuperMode: Gains a Battlizer mode thanks to Sir Shining Lance, his ancestor. |
| 296 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4969355888 A Wendigo attempted to possess him]] after he destroyed its physical form. His Elephant Spirit he has as the Red Ranger proceeds to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown thrash it like a ragdoll]] before destroying it with a FinishingStomp. |
| 297 | * WhatTheHellHero: Lancer was notably '''''furious''''' with Teddy while they were young upon learning that Teddy [[{{Blackmail}} blackmailed]] Bon Bon after finding her lost diary, outright comparing him to a ''criminal'' and asking whether he thinks the Tales Seven [[ThisIsUnforgivable would ever forgive him]] after that. It served to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone cause an attack of conscience]] in Teddy together with Sweetheart's own condemnation and ultimately [[MustMakeAmends caused Teddy to turn the diary in the lost-and-found]]. If nothing else, it shows that even the soft-spoken and proper Lancer [[RageBreakingPoint has his limits]]. |
| 298 | --> '''Lancer:''' You '''BLACKMAILED''' her? Like a '''''CROOK'''''? How on Tellus would the girls ever find it in themselves to forgive you now, or ever? There are some things you just don't do - This is one of them! |

| 303 | * AdaptationalBadass: Teddy was a decent fighter in the original, but here he's a ''Power Ranger''. |
| 304 | * BattleCouple: After he became a Power Ranger, he and Sweetheart became this. As Teddy is far more offensively minded, he made a good compliment to Sweetheart's more defensive fighting style. |
| 305 | * HenshinHero: He becomes a Blue Power Ranger. |
| 306 | * IShallTauntYou: Lancer realizes the Red Overranger has an ego as big as Overmare's own, and has Teddy insult and provoke her to take advantage. This enraged her to the point she overclocked the Overrangers' Megazord, meaning when the Rangers' Eternal Megazord destroyed it, the Overrangers' [[DePower powers went with it]]. |
| 307 | * OfficialCouple: As in canon, he dates Sweetheart and eventually marries her, having several children including Tough Love. |
| 308 | * PapaWolf: |
| 309 | ** Shining Lance tried to attack his adopted son Spike. Teddy's response was to summon his Zord and beat the Eternal Knight into the ground, forcing him to retreat. |
| 310 | ** Ripped through an entire gang and the minions of their supervillain master alongside his son Spike to rescue Tough Love after she got herself in trouble with them. From the looks of it, only the supervillain himself gave him much trouble, and he still won. |

| 319 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the ''My Little Pony Tales'' series, Moki was a friendly and cheerful Tropical Islander who welcomed Bright Eyes to her homeland and has no real issues living there. In the Codexverse, [[VideoGame/{{Tropico}} Tropika is ruled by a dictatorship]] which has a backing from a superpower (and thus cannot be deposed without serious geopolitical repercussions, up to possibly triggering another world-spanning war). This caused Moki problems once she became a Power Ranger, with the dictator arrogantly making an attempt to coerce Moki into working for the regime by threatening her family. [[LaserGuidedKarma This went as well as it could be expected for the dictator]], but it still forced Moki and her family [[TheExile to leave the island nation and seek political asylum in Ponyland]]. Moki was also forced into a dilemma when the Power Rangers' ArchEnemy Rita the Repulsive tried to conquer the island, forcing her to choose between letting her conquer her home or protecting the very dictatorship whom had declared her and her family [[PersonaNonGrata enemies of the state]]. |
| 320 | * AdaptationalBadass: In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales'', she was just a friend Bright Eyes met on Tropical Island. Here, she's not only a Tropical Pony mutant (giving her heat adaptation and heat generating abilities), but becomes a ''Power Ranger''. |
| 321 | * AdaptationExpansion: Only appeared once in the original series, but ends up moving the Ponyville as an exchange student, at which point she becomes a Power Ranger. |
| 322 | * HeroicDolphin: Her spirit animal and AnimalMotif once she becomes a Power Ranger. |
| 323 | * {{Mutants}}: She's a Tropical Pony, with a mutation making her more adapt to tropical locations and granting her head manipulation abilities. Due to the lack of magic, this mutation didn't properly surface until she started gaining access to magic. |

| 351 | Terra Firma, real name Solid Ground (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Ponyland-Heroes-and-Villains-Part-19-845525983 here]]), is a superheroine and divine champion of Tellusia who bears the power to turn into an Equine Giant. |
| 352 | ---- |
| 353 | * TheAce: Solid Ground/Terra Firma proved himself to be one of the best Champions of Tellusia in spite of starting out as a Tiny, eventually earning the respect of even her fellow Giant Champions of Tellusia who initially did not take her seriously on that account. The irony here is that while she's one of the best, she's still surpassed by her younger sister, Solid Base, who served as [[BigBrotherInstinct of the reasons which drove her to become a Champion in the first place]]. Solid Base not only followed her elder sister's hoof-steps and became a super-strong, earth-manipulating and size-shifting divinely-empowered superheroine (Worldshaker), but in the end she became a champion of both Tellusia AND Terraton, was bigger and more powerful than Solid Ground as Terra Firma, and even managed to achieve apotheosis and become a demigoddess and an adopted daughter of both earth Giant deities. Solid Ground had no issues with it however and [[SoProudOfYou was immeasurably proud]]. |
| 354 | * AngerBornOfWorry: She was furious when she learnt that Tellusia accepted her younger sister Solid Base's bargain with her to be made a Champion as well sometime during her superheroic career, even if it is to save her elder sister's life, and went so far as to argue with her divine patron and mistress over it. Solid Ground became the Champion of Tellusia and a superhero in part to save and protect her younger sister and wanted her out of harm's way, and because of her over-protectiveness it took her some time to finally accept that her younger sister is all grown up and could protect herself and make decisions about what to do with her own life. |
| 355 | * BackFromTheDead: After living a very long time thanks to her awakened Earthpony magic, her divine patron's blessings and advanced Second Age technologies, Terra Firma finally perished at the end of the 'Void Aeon' that marked the conclusion of the 'Second Age', destroying a monstrous being (implied to be one of her old persistent monster foes 'Crystattack' coming back for one last rematch) in a MutualKill. Of course, her pact with Tellusia, the Rumbling Earth meant this does not inconvenience her that much, and she rejoined the ranks of her fellow Champions of Tellusia which included both live and dead members to continue her service. |
| 356 | * BargainWithHeaven: How Solid Ground became Champion of Tellusia, having bargained with Tellusia, the Rumbling Earth for the power to save her sister and others from a collapsing museum, at the cost of pledging her soul to eternal service in her name to protect the earth and the world from disharmony and evil forces that might disrupt that. It's portrayed neutrally in regards to the price, as she soon made peace with her decision and realize that she could help all she cared for better as a superhero. |
| 357 | * BecomingTheMask: Both Solid Ground and her sister Solid Base, having become divine champions of Giant deities, came under increasing influence of their gods' and Giantkind's general disposition and nature. Both knew resisting it would only delay the inevitable, and was resigned to the fact it was only a matter of time before their Giant natures overcome them completely. [[spoiler:By the Fourth Age, they had both fully embraced it, though they remain noble and heroic]]. |
| 358 | * TheChampion: Solid Ground as Terra Firma is the sole Champion of Tellusia - one of the Earthen Triplets who are goddesses among Tauren Giantkind, during the Second Age - with her patron and master's boons being the source of her powers and charged with forever serving Tellusia in preserving the balance of the earth from various mundane and mystical menaces alike. The unusual thing is that the position was originally meant for Giants, making her one of the very few 'Tinies' to have that job, the only other known Tiny to become so being her little sister. |
| 359 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: One of her biggest powers as a divine champion of a goddess of Giants is being able to become one as well, going up to skyscraper size. She cannot shrink any smaller than her default Champion size, however, as Tellusia and her fellow Champions frown upon the very notion of becoming smaller. |
| 360 | * SuperStrength: Thanks to her powers, so long as Terra Firma is connected to the earth, she could draw boundless amounts of strength, allowing her to throw cars and topple buildings with ease at her default 'Champion' size - and growing exponentially [[{{Sizeshifter}} the larger she grows]]. |
| 361 | * SuperToughness: She can become as tough and durable as the earth itself so long as she can draw strength from it, and it can be augmented by her summoning extra stone and metallic armour via her earth/stone-manipulating powers. |

Acquiring her powers from exposure to a Gamma Bomb, while the brilliant but mild Dr. Split Atoms is physically harmless, when sufficiently enraged she could transform into a raging but brutish monstrous version of herself whose wrath and strength could quake worlds. |
| 373 | ---- |
| 374 | * BadassBookworm: While most of her badflank moments were in her Monstrosity alter-ego, Doctor Split Atoms HAS had a few moments of this, saving the day with her scientific skills rather than the Monstrosity's strength or outwitting much more powerful bad guys on the rare occasions when she temporarily lost access to the Monstrosity's power. |

Not so much in her merged, whole and balanced 'Dr. Monstrosity' form after she learnt to channel her rage constructively and learnt to accept it, as well as other split personalities such as the domineering 'Conqueror-Monstrosity' and the evil 'Demonic-Monstrosity'. |
| 378 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, though she is actually a CompositeCharacter of both him and She-Hulk. |
| 379 | * InASingleBound: Capable of leaping such great heights and distances as to often give the illusion of flight. She could jump from Tellus to outer space in one go, and even cross vast heights/distances of mystical places where the concept of distance as Tellus knows it is non-existance in single leaps. |
| 380 | * NighInvulnerability: She definitely had this power as the Monstrosity. In fact, it's one of her two main powers. This comes in part from her incredible SuperStrength but also her extreme HealingFactor. |
| 381 | * SuperStrength: Her other main super-power as the Monstrosity. Her strength as the Monstrosity rivalled that of Metamare, and in theory has no upper-limits as she gets stronger the more angrier she gets. |
| 382 | * UnstoppableRage: Part and parcel with being a Hulk Expy. |
| 383 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Given her basis on the TropeNamer, this is a given. |

Ironically, she would end up surpassing her elder sister in many ways. |

| 392 | First introduced in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4898130577 Drabble]], the Second Age Web Warrior is the first Web Warrior in Known History. |
| 393 | ---- |
| 394 | * AllYourPowersCombined: The radioactive AND genetically modified spider that bit him contained all of the combined proportionate abilities of every species of spider known to Tellus by 1962. |
| 395 | * ArchEnemy: The first one was Seth Lowpod, a Mad Scientist who invented a suit of Powered Armor with six additional limbs and became known as Sir Cephalopod (who would also become the founder and leader of the Sadistic Seven). The second (and most personal) would be CEO Shady Deals, who would become the super-villain known as the Azure Archfiend (who would murder Mulberry's then-pregnant first wife Brass Cupcake). |
| 396 | * BadassBookworm: He was a Teen Genius with super-equine physical abilities when he was starting out, of course he would be this. |
| 397 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: In general, a good-natured sort who liked to crack wise in action and treated most of the criminals he faced with compassion, to the point where most D-list super-villains that operated primarily in New Port City have mentioned him as being the hero in that city that it was most preferrable to encounter. Still, he DID have his limits and, when those were reached, he could be REALLY scary. |
| 398 | * ComboPlatterPowers: Mulberry Park had an extremely wide range of useful abilities. In addition to his strength, speed, agility, durability, stamina and senses all being at medium-level super-equine levels, he also had the ability to adhere to and walk on walls and ceilings, a precognitive danger sense, organic webbing shot out of forehoof wrist spinets, a super-camouflage power and a bio-electric ability. |
| 399 | * CompositeCharacter: In addition to his civilian name (Mulberry Park) being inspired by both Miles Morales AND Peter Parker, his backstory is also a hybrid of both of these characters. In addition, he had the combined powers of the Peter Parker, Miles Morales AND Miquel O'Hara versions of Spider-Man. |
| 400 | * DeadpanSnarker: As is expected with a Spider-Man Expy, he tended to be this most of the time. |
| 401 | * {{Expy}}: Of Marvel's ComicBook/SpiderMan. |
| 402 | * FriendlyEnemy: To pretty much any criminal that didn't commit murder or worse. |
| 403 | * GoodIsNotSoft: As aforementioned in Beware the Nice Ones, while he generally avoided killing, he wasn't above delivering severe beatdowns to villains that pushed him too far. |
| 404 | * ItsAllMyFault: Well, "Just as much my fault as the ones who actually did it", but same principle. His failure to stop the two crooks who would later kill his parents and hospitalize his aunt and uncle still made him feel extremely bad. |
| 405 | * ItsPersonal: Pretty much ALWAYS the case with Shady Deals/the Azure Archfiend after the latter killed his first wife Brass Cupcake. |
| 406 | * MotorMouth: Usually had a steady stream of wisecracks when he was in action. In fact, if he DIDN'T speak for more than a minute, that was a pretty good indication that he was royally steamed. |
| 407 | * MundaneUtility: Originally, he used his powers to make money as a daredevil. |
| 408 | * MyGreatestFailure: While the failure to stop the crooks that would later kill his parents and hospitalize his aunt and uncle would definitely weigh enough on his conscience to push him to become a crime-fighter in the first place and would still qualify for this trope, another example would be when the Azure Archfiend murdered Brass Cupcake when she was pregnant. |
| 409 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: On the delivering end of one in 1973 after the Azure Archfiend killed Brass Cupcake. He PURPOSELY stopped JUST SHORT of actually killing the Azure Archfiend, but still left him so badly injured that he would be confine to a wheelchair for over a year. |
| 410 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As mentioned in Motor Mouth, if he WASN'T delivering a steady stream of wisecracks in a battle, that was a sure sign that he was really, REALLY peeved. |
| 411 | * PapaWolf: The Azure Archfiend's killing of Brass Cupcake when she was pregnant was a MASSIVE pushing of this button. |
| 412 | * SadClown: Tended to use wisecracks to cope with the pain caused by all the garbage that got flung at him. |
| 413 | * SpidermanSendUp: The Codexverse's version of Spider-Man. |
| 414 | * TwoferMinority: Mulberry Park was half-Zebra and a quarter-Donkey. |
| 415 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: Given his basis on the Trope Namer, this is to be expected. |
| 416 | * YouFightLikeACow: Pretty much standard issue for a Spider-Man Expy. |

| 433 | * CrazyEnoughToWork: His plan to rescue Deep Star ultimately comes down to unhitching her tank and riding it down the entire way to the ocean. Fortunately, it works. |

| 444 | ---- |
| 445 | * AbusiveParents: Her parents treated her like a freak and ultimately abandoned her to Snake Oil to live in a freak show. |
| 446 | * ArchnemesisDad: Two of the Sea Solvers' archenemies are her parents, Midnight Star and Fire Shot, a pair of robber barons. |
| 447 | * {{Catchphrase}}: She always says the same line when activating the Jewel of the Seas. It isn't because it's needed to activate it, she just wanted a catchphrase. |
| 448 | --> '''Deep Star''': Power of the seas, I call upon thee! |
| 449 | * ConspicuousTrenchcoat: When using the mechanical legs Searching Shell made her, she tended to wear a trenchcoat and hat to hide her Mermare traits. |
| 450 | * ForeignLanguageTirade: She goes on an angry tirade in Arabic when she realizes the criminal the Sea Solvers are presently going after are her AbusiveParents. |
| 451 | * HourOfPower: She eventually gets the Jewel of the Seas, which allows her to have the full power of an awakened Mermare for ten minutes every tidal change. As such, she tends to save it for being the party's ace in the hole. |
| 452 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's notably a Mermare, the Saddle Arabian equal of a sea pony, and thus considerably larger than her lover. |
| 453 | * LoveAtFirstSight: She fell in love with Sparkling Shore the moment they laid eyes on each other. |
| 454 | * MeetTheInLaws: She's frightened to meet Sparkling Shore's parents due to her AbusiveParents. Fortunately, it turns out he has GoodParents who are utterly horrified by how she was treated and instantly support their sun's decision to save her. |
| 455 | * PhraseCatcher: A recurring line criminals she helped take down say is claiming to have seen a Mermare, only for the officer arresting them to scoff and reply with what they think is equally implausible. |

| 473 | !!Spectacular Seven |
| 474 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 475 | * BadassCrew: All of them have scored victories over at least a few super-villains individually before coming together as a team. Plus the team included a powerful sorceress, a trained warrior in virtually indestructible armor, a being with high level super-strength and super-toughness, a gal with a potent telepathic link with plants, a guy who can mentally manipulate magical shadows, a potion mistress with a healing touch and a warrior who had a knack for figuring out ways to get past really tough obstacles and keeping others positive. |
| 476 | * HeroicLineage: All of them were the children of super-heroes, except for Golden Knight I (who was merely TRAINED by the original Pony Patriot) and Flora Queen (who was the much more heroic daughter of a super-VILLAINESS). Plus all of them have had descendants that became great heroes themselves. |
| 477 | * LegacyCharacter: All of them were either blood-related to or at least trained by much more experienced super-heroes. |
| 478 | * TrueCompanions: They have been through so many adventures together and fought side by side against enough of the toughest villains and natural disasters in the Second Age where they would trust and respect each other enough to consider each other like family. |

| 486 | ---- |
| 487 | * BadassFamily: In addition to both of her parents and older brother being super-heroes, her honorary aunt was an experienced adventurer in her own right, her go-to babysitter was a dragon. She would also end up marrying one of her teammates in the Spectacular Seven |
| 488 | * BattleCouple: With the original Golden Knight. |
| 489 | * EveryoneCanSeeIt: Her [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/877315938/4920332157 relationship]] with the original Golden Knight very certainly reached this level. |
| 490 | * HeroicLineage: Her parents were the original Mare-Do-Well (Scale Mucker) and Archibald Arcolt (the latter of whom she inherited her magic from) and her foster older brother, Joshua Saddlesworth, was the Crimson Shaft. Furthermore, her husband was the original Golden Knight and the descendants on both sides of the family would produce many heroes (most notably Starswirl the Bearded and Flash Magnus in the Fourth Age [though their relation was so distant even THEY never found out about it] and the two that would inherit their mantles, Trixie Lulamoon and Flash Sentry) |
| 491 | * HotWitch: Definitely attractive enough to have no shortage of suitors as a teenager (though Scale's over-protective mother tendencies kept the stallions careful) and, as a adult, snag the affections of one of her generation's top super-heroes. |
| 492 | * InsufferableGenius: As egotistical as her mother, but due to inheriting her father's magic and having extensive training from her family, she had the skill to more than back up the ego. |
| 493 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The "jerk" part was kind of downplayed as she was more cocky than jerkish (and, even then, usually not without good reason), but the 'heart of gold' part was very definitely played straight. Not only did she take protecting the innocent quite seriously, but she also cared immensely about her family and friends. |
| 494 | * LargeHam: She was definitely every bit as hammy as her descendant, Trixie Lulamoon. |
| 495 | * MamaBear: When she eventually had kids of her own, she DEFINITELY took after her mother in this way (though the original Golden Knight I was certainly a big time Papa Wolf in his own right). |
| 496 | * MeaningfulName: Her super-hero alias was the Splendid Sorceress and she, indeed, WAS one of the most powerful magic users of the Second Age. |
| 497 | * MoralityChain: Her family in general was very definitely this. As were her friends - ESPECIALLY the original Golden Knight. They fortunately had enough of a positive influence on her to prevent her developing too many of the self-destructive tendencies that so often tripped up her mother. |
| 498 | * SmugSuper: Yes, but nowhere near as bad as it COULD be. While she was definitely a powerful sorceress and VERY confident in her abilities, she had JUST enough control over her ego to prevent it from tripping her up too much. |
| 499 | * StrongAndSkilled: Thanks to [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4914888251 both her heritage and extensive training]] from her father and others, Splendid Sorceress I was one of the most capable Metabender superheroes of her generation. |
| 500 | * SuperiorSuccessor: While she might not have used the Mare-Do-Well identity, she, along with her adoptive big brother Joshua, was certainly this to the original Mare-Do-Well as far as being one of Saint Cantle's resident super-heroes went. |
| 501 | * SuperPowerfulGenetics: She inherited her powers from her father, Archibald Arcolt (who was the far more heroic son of the original Paradyne's arch-enemy the Archmage). |

| 504 | [[folder:Golden Knight]] |
| 505 | ---- |
| 506 | * BattleCouple: With Midsummer Night/Splendid Sorceress I. |
| 507 | * BroughtDownToBadass: Even when separately from his nearly indestructible armor, he was still an extremely skilled warrior. |
| 508 | * TheCape: He was a genuinely noble sort who was a trainee of the Pony Patriot and took the traditional super-hero codes quite seriously. |
| 509 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: He was already a well-trained soldier developed to peak equine conditioning and skill when he was entrusted with a suit of virtually indestructible gold-colored armor. |
| 510 | * FlyingBrick: Well, sort of. He was a Pegasus, so he was definitely capable of flight naturally. And his suit of armor was definitely almost indestructible (which allowed him the Nigh-Invulnerability for this trope) and while his strength was nowhere near the levels of Mighty Mare, he WAS definitely strong enough to comfortably fly at top speed AND pull off some rather respectable acrobatic maneuvers while wearing the armor. |
| 511 | * TheLeader: He certainly served this role in the original Spectacular Seven. |
| 512 | * KnightInShiningArmor: Both in theme and in personality. |
| 513 | * NighInvulnerability: His armor (which covered his entire body) was virtually indestructible (to the point where it took some really powerful magic just to forge it). |
| 514 | * PapaWolf: Once he became a father, he was definitely just as protective of his children as Midsummer was. |
| 515 | * SuperStrength: Nowhere near the levels of Mighty Mare, but he was still in good enough shape to rather comfortably move while in a full suit of near-indestructible armor. |
| 516 | [[/folder]] |
| 517 | |
| 518 | [[folder:Mighty Mare I]] |
| 519 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''ighty '''M'''are. |
| 520 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Though, in general, she was a nice girl even for a super-hero, there HAVE been a few villains that learned the hard way that ''"ThouShaltNotKill"'' DOES NOT mean ''"[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Thou Shalt Not Beat You Within A Half-Inch Of Your Life If You Push Me Too Far]]"'' |
| 521 | * TheBigGuy: Even though she was female, she certainly was the physically strongest of the original Spectacular Seven. |
| 522 | * BoisterousBruiser: A rather good natured sort who definitely enjoyed using her super-strength to help others and loved a good challenge. |
| 523 | * GentleGiant: For all of her super-strength, it is quite fortunate that her heart was just as big as her muscles and she never hurt anybody who didn't truly deserve it. |
| 524 | * InASingleBound: Even if she couldn't fly, she could still pull off some rather powerful leaps, covering such great heights and distances as to often appear to be flying. |
| 525 | * SuperStrength: Her main power. She has been noted as being capable of lifting and carrying large vehicles almost effortlessly, defeating demigods in hoof-wrestling matches, smashing through several feet of reinforced steel with no more effort than it would take a normal pony to snap a thin twig, stopping a 200 ton train moving at 125 miles per hour and punching out monsters up to 60 feet tall. |
| 526 | * SuperToughness: She had this as a Required Secondary Power so that she could use her super-strength without hurting herself. She has been noted as being able to withstand high caliber bullets and high explosives at very close range without serious injury. |

| 530 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 531 | * AdaptationExpansion: The original Justice Ducks were only together canonically for one adventure. By contrast, the Squadron of Decency have shared many adventures over a period of more than a decade. |
| 532 | * CListFodder: Subverted. They were THOUGHT OF as this by a few super-villains, but the Squadron would always put up a good enough fight to prove them wrong. |
| 533 | * {{Expy}}: Of the Justice Ducks From the 1990s WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck cartoon. |
| 534 | * TwoGirlsToATeam: The original Mare-Do-Well and Rolling Waves were the only two female members of the team. All three (later four) of the other members were male. |
| 535 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Often on the receiving end of this trope. While the group was certainly formidable and have scored some rather respectable victories, they still didn't achieve the sort of positive notoriety that the Paragons and the Protectors did (for one thing, they went by "the Squadron of Decency" because all the good super-hero team names were already copyrighted and trademarked) and were dismissed by some super-villains as C-listers (though this worked to the heroes' advantage far more often than not). |

| 543 | ---- |
| 544 | * AdaptationNameChange: In-universe example. Her television series counterpart was actually named Beatrice "Trixie" Lulamoon (which has been rumored to be the inspiration for the Fourth Age Trixie's name) |
| 545 | * ArchEnemy: She actually had two (very mutual in both cases): Titanium Mouth (who was previously the Arch-Enemy of Maney Autumns/the Bionic Mare and the only agent of S.O.U.R. to survive more than two encounters with Welther Shaken Maretini) in the sense of Titanium Mouth being her most personal (her first fight with him was also her first meeting with future adopted son Joshua Saddlesworth) and the Mare-Do-Rotten (her own villainous counterpart from the Mirror Tellus) |
| 546 | * AscendedFangirl: She idolized the Shadow Sentinels (especially the second; who directly inspired her to become a super-heroine herself). |
| 547 | * BadassFamily: She was certainly the head of one. Her husband and biological daughter were both powerful magic users and her adopted son was an exceptional athlete (being particularly fond of archery, hockey and soccer) |
| 548 | * BadassNormal: No super-powers, but when she had some degree of control over her ego, she was still a skilled martial artist and could be a rather competent detective, escape artist and tactician. She was certainly good enough to defeat a fair number of bad guys who DID have super-powers. Even after Scale eventually retired as the Mare-Do-Well, she still showed some bits of this by being able to consistently keep up with a youth with rather powerful magic. |
| 549 | * BattleCouple: She was this with Archibald Arcolt, the much more heroic son of the original Paradyne's Arch-Enemy, the Archmage. |
| 550 | * BigEgoHiddenDepths: In addition to caring immensely about her family and friends, she also showed some signs of being fully aware that the citizens she risked her life to help did not show much appreciation for her efforts for the first half of her career, but still kept doing it because it was the right thing to do. She was also willing to risk her life to do the right thing in circumstances she KNEW had to stay anonymous (such as missions for S.I.L.E.N.C.E.) |
| 551 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While her ego was definitely out of control more often than not and frequently tripped her up, there was also a much more competent heroine lurking underneath the bumbling. |
| 552 | * {{Determinator}}: Even though she frequently took massive amounts of physical punishment in her adventures (without much appreciation shown by the citizens she risked her life to help), she absolutely refused to stay down for long and kept trying until she got it right. |
| 553 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Even though she risked her life for the citizens of Saint Cantle ''many'' times and caught quite a few criminals too dangerous for the normal police, it still took her thirteen years for the citizens of her protectorate to start actually showing her the respect she deserved. |
| 554 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Given all the garbage she got put through in her life, the very fact she was able to gain truly close friends and a genuinely loving family AND actually ended her career as a respected heroine AND became one of Saint Cantle's most effective mayors definitely qualifies. |
| 555 | * {{Expy}}: Of Darkwing Duck (mostly the 1991 version, but does have ONE minor element of WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017; namely, the hero that inspired her WAS NOT her own adult self from the future). |
| 556 | * FriendlyEnemy: Surprisingly, for her ego, she was actually surprisingly good-natured with Crossed Wires and Seymour Greenhooves (at least when the two were operating solo), frequent snarky comments aside, to the point of behaving more along the lines of childhood friends playing games on opposite sides. |
| 557 | * Good Parents: In spite of her ego, she was this to both her adoptive son, Joshua Saddlesworth AND her biological daughter Midsummer Night, both of whom would grow up to become super-heroes themselves. |
| 558 | * HappilyMarried: To Archibald Arcolt. |
| 559 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: For the first half of her career, she was certainly this. Then, after her television series debuted and most of the merchandise inspired by the show started going toward paying for the damage she and her enemies caused, this started to get averted. |
| 560 | * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Being the protective RetiredHero GoodParent she is by then, Scale Mucker made it abundantly [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4911161765 clear]] to a colt who want to date her daughter Midsummer that if he does anything to hurt her, '[his] rear is going to be grass and [she] will be the lawn mower.' |
| 561 | * ItsPersonal: Pretty much always the case with both Mare-Do-Rotten AND Titanium Mouth (ESPECIALLY the latter, given the villain's minions were the ones that killed Joshua's biological grandfather and the cybernetic super-spy came closer to killing Joshua than any of the heroine's other foes). The Supreme Greaser was also an [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4912656206 example]] however (even if not as big of one as the two previously mentioned ones), given he was the leader of the gang of bullies that most badly picked on her as a filly. She definitely enjoyed busting him as a young adult heroine (even if she took a pretty fair pounding in the process). |
| 562 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite having a massive ego and being more than a little of a glory hound (certainly capable of being snippy toward other heroes), she was willing to work hard to earn the glory she sought and cared immensely for her family and friends. |
| 563 | * LetsGetDangerous: Given she is a gender-flipped Captain Ersatz of the TropeNamer, this is definitely the case here. |
| 564 | * MamaBear: She was incredibly protective of both her adopted son Joshua AND her biological daughter Midsummer (as well as the rest of her family). Really, in general, threatening either of her children was a surefire way to shift her into her more competent mode straight away. |
| 565 | * RetiredBadass: While too old to put on the mask and cape again by the time she got elected mayor of Saint Cantle, Scale was still an experienced super-heroine who insisted on keeping her skills sharp in retirement. |
| 566 | * SmallNameBigEgo: At least when she wasn't in her more competent mode. |
| 567 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Given her ego, almost all of her friendships were this, but special points go toward Cyber-Fuzz, who she outwardly deeply disliked simply for being more popular than her despite not being active for anywhere near as long. Still, they would both become teammates on the Squadron of Decency and develop a much deeper mutual respect for each other. |
| 568 | [[/folder]] |
| 569 | |
| 570 | [[folder:Gallops Hay Marephy/Cyber-Fuzz]] |
| 571 | ---- |
| 572 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In-universe example. While the real Cyber-Fuzz was a police officer whose life was saved by a team of Silversmith's scientists (courtesy of his brain and heart being placed in a robot body), the movies (thanks to some meddling from O.C.P.'s legal team) depicted Marephy's becoming a cyborg as O.C.P.'s work and was a more involved process. Similarly, the code of ethics the real Cyber-Fuzz followed completely willingly were written as being part of O.C.P.'s programming in the movies. |
| 573 | * ByTheBookCop[=/=]CowboyCop: Had a tendency to zig-zag between the two. While certainly having an extremely healthy respect for the law (to the point of Serving the Public Trust, Protecting the Innocent and Upholding the Law entirely of his own choice), he was willing to bend the rules if it was necessary to get the job done (though he was always very careful about where and how to bend to rules and he NEVER flat-out BROKE the rules). |
| 574 | * ComboPlatterPowers: Cyber-Fuzz's robot body gave him a pretty wide range of useful abilities, such as super-strength, nigh-invulnerability, super-stamina, greatly sped up reflexes and thought processes, super-eyesight, super-hearing, photographic memory and the ability to interface and control almost any other machine. |
| 575 | * {{Cyborg}}: His brain and heart were those of a normal pony, but his body was that of a robot specially built for law enforcement. |
| 576 | * DoAnythingRobot: His robot body contained LOTS of extremely useful thought activated tools. |
| 577 | * {{Expy}}: Of Robocop, though he also has some extremely minor elements of Gizmoduck. |
| 578 | * {{Flight}}: A jet pack was included among his thought activated arsenal, allowing him to fly at high speeds for short distances. |
| 579 | * GodzillaThreshold: As a Lawful Good police officer, he considers the use of his built-in flamethrower and rocket launcher (as well as lethal force in general) as an "absolute last resort only" against villains and monsters too dangerous to be dealt with any other way. |
| 580 | * HappilyMarried: Both before and after becoming a cyborg, Marephy was an extremely loving and faithful husband and father. |
| 581 | * TheLancer: He served this role in the Squadron of Decency to Mare-Do-Well's Leader. |
| 582 | * LogicalWeakness: While his robot body definitely made him tough enough to withstand most physical attacks, he was still quite vulnerable to magnetism. |
| 583 | * PapaWolf: He was EXTREMELY protective of his family. |
| 584 | * PlayingWithFire: A flamethrower was included among Cyber-Fuzz's thought-activated arsenal. |
| 585 | * SuperCop: He was a police officer with an extremely wide range of very useful cybernetic abilities. |
| 586 | * TookALevelInBadass: He went from a competent, but normal police officer, to a powerful cyborg who was one of Detrot's best cops. |
| 587 | * VitriolicBestBuds: His relationship with the Second Age Mare-Do-Well could definitely qualify as this. Even though they disagreed on a lot, they still agreed on how the protection of the innocent was still most important and they also had a surprisingly deep trust and respect that developed over the course of a decade and a half. |

| 590 | [[folder:Archibald Arcolt]] |
| 591 | ---- |
| 592 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Archibald had far more control over his temper than the actual Morgana [=McCawber=] and, while he DID have arguments with Scale/Mare-Do-Well, they never went past respectful disagreements. Justified in that keeping the temper intact would have come off too much like domestic abuse. |
| 593 | * AdaptationNameChange: In-universe example. His counterpart on the Mare-Do-Well's television series was named "Malcom [=McConjure=]" |
| 594 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Archibald's relationship with his father, the Reichist-aligned high-level awakened unicorn, the Archmage is FAR more hostile than Morgana's was with her own father Moloculo, to the point where Archibald could honestly be considered his father's SECOND arch-enemy. |
| 595 | * AlliterativeName: '''A'''rchibald '''A'''rcolt. |
| 596 | * BattleCouple: With Scale Mucker/Mare-Do-Well. |
| 597 | * BenevolentBoss: As a businesspony, he always treated his employees with complete respect and paid them well. |
| 598 | * BerserkButton: While he could remain admirably calm in high pressure situations most of the time, there were still two things that made him really mad. The first was his father, the Archmage. The second was hurting Scale or either of their children. |
| 599 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: While he was typically a pretty even-tempered stallion (with the exception of his dealings with [[SuperSupremacist his father]], who was definitely nasty enough to deserve the hate), he was still a very powerful sorcerer, so it was a rather bad idea to get on his bad side. |
| 600 | * {{Expy}}: Of Morgana [=McCawber=] |
| 601 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: Archibald Arcolt owned several successful businesses and ran them ethically. He even donated to worthy charities. |
| 602 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: The Archmage was a truly despicable character, a high-ranked Reichist and the greatest enemy of the original Paradyne. Archibald was considerably more heroic. |
| 603 | * PapaWolf: Just as protective of Joshua and Midsummer as Scale was. |
| 604 | * SuperpowerLottery: He was an extremely powerful magic user with abilities rivalling those of the highest level Fourth Age unicorns. |

| 607 | [[folder:Flare-Up, the Dragon Pony]] |
| 608 | ---- |
| 609 | * AdaptationalBadass: In comparison to the actual Stegmutt, who only had Super-Strength and Super-Toughness, Flare-Up had those abilities plus Flight, Flame Breath, Size-Shifting and Super-Senses. Justified in that Flare-Up was turned into a dragon instead of a dinosaur. |
| 610 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed as Stegmutt was NEVER worse than a "Minion with an F in Evil" (and, even then, only in his debut episode), but Flare-Up was never associated with Doctor Transmuto like Stegmutt used to be with Doctor Fossil. |
| 611 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: The actual Stegmutt was very much a Kind-Hearted Simpleton. While still no genius and still a Nice Guy, Flare-Up had at least average intelligence and was considerably less naive`(though he was still fairly clumsy and suffered from allergies, the latter of which is where he would get his "Flare-Up" name from). |
| 612 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Doctor Transmuto never managed to trick Flare Up into helping him like Doctor Fossil did with Stegmutt. |
| 613 | * AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Flare-Up is a pony-turned-dragon rather than a duck-turned-dinosaur |
| 614 | * TheBigGuy: Physically strongest member of the Squadron of Decency, plus he was quite a bit taller and more muscular than his Squadron teammates. |
| 615 | * CoolUncle: An unofficial one, but he was certainly one of Midsummer's favorite foalsitters when she was younger and he WAS a dragon. |
| 616 | * {{Expy}}: Of Stegmutt. |
| 617 | * FlyingBrick: Being a dragon, he could naturally fly in addition to having Super-Strength and Super-Toughness. |
| 618 | * FlyingFirepower: As a dragon, he could both fly and breathe fire. |
| 619 | * FriendToAllChildren: As aforementioned, he had a definite soft spot for children and tended to be quite protective of them. |
| 620 | * GentleGiant: He was big and powerful, but also had a soft spot for children and strongly disliked using violence against anybody who wasn't evil enough to deserve it. |
| 621 | * TheKlutz: This, along with his allergies and being cold-blooded, was one of his definite weaknesses. |
| 622 | * LogicalWeakness: Being a dragon, he was naturally cold-blooded, so extreme cold was definitely one of the things that could stop him. Also, as powerful as he was as a dragon, he still needed to breathe like almost anybody else, so powerful gas attacks could take him down. Similarly, his increased sense of smell also made his allergies much worse. |
| 623 | * PlayingWithFire: As a dragon, he could breathe fire. Unfortunately, he also had several allergies, which made the flame breath a double-edged sword. |
| 624 | * SizeShifting: He learned how to do this from Archibald Arcolt when trying to find out more about his dragon abilities. He could grow to up to twelve times his normal size or shrink to no smaller than one-twelfth his normal size (both temporarily). |
| 625 | * SuperSenses: As a dragon, his sense of sight, hearing and smell were greatly intensified. |

Also, [[AHeroToHisHometown they are celebrated in the Comintern as heroes of the working class]]. |

| 637 | [[folder:New Hooviet]] |
| 638 | The preeminent metabeing champion of the Hooviet Union in the Second Age, New Hooviet is not only the Hooviet Union's greatest superhero, but a living embodiment of its ideology of Communism, often to the point of being more heroic and principled than the very Hooviet leaders he served. |
| 639 | ---- |
| 640 | * ChummyCommies: Implied, as he was apparently a Hooviet superhero and {{Ubermensch}} who actually lived up to the ideals of the 'New Hooviet Pony' idealized by the Hooviets and thus is genuinely heroic, selfless, idealistic and respectful. |
| 641 | * FlyingBrick: He is in the same class of superbeings as Metamare, Kaserin, Ultrarios, Overmatriarch, Archona and others. |
| 642 | * {{Irony}}: He was apparently created to be the epitome of the Hooviet ideal and a superpowered, superheroic counter to the likes of Metamare and Pony Patriot, who are aligned to one of their geopolitical and ideological rivals in the Federal Republic of Ponyland. Yet his very existence more or less contradicts Communist ideology - specifically, that ALL Ponies are born EQUAL. This is something [[LampshadeHanging he acknowledges]] about himself, but ultimately decides to try and uphold Communism anyway [[TheParagon simply because it was the right thing to do]]. |
| 643 | * {{Ubermensch}}: Created not just as a counter to the likes of Metamare and Pony Patriot with his engineered powers, but also as the first of the 'New Hooviet Pony' - the idealized archetype of the perfect Communist who would emerge in the Hooviet Union and help bring about the 'World Revolution' that would finally achieve the Communist world utopia. Unlike the Father Deer attempt made by the Clovenists tens of thousands of years later, the Hooviets ''actually succeeded'' - [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels although even he turned out to be not exactly everything his creators had hoped for]]. |
| 644 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: While more noble and principled than many of his leaders and fellow Hooviets, genuinely wanting to make the world a better place for all Ponykind, he's still a communist who want to overthrow the world order in favour of a (admittedly benevolent) communist one, and he himself is unfortunately 'tainted' by the dysfunctional socialist government and autocratic variant of 'Marksist-Vanguardism'. As such, while he is sincere in trying to make the world a better place, his ways of doing so, at least initially, is likely to cause its own share of problems and potentially just as bad as if say Overmare takes over. Best showcased during a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/970572648/5086694932 phase]] post-Hooviet Union when he attempted to TakeOverTheWorld at the head of a neocommunist regime after deciding to be more proactive in carrying the torch of communism, although fortunately he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone eventually realised his folly]] and changed course. |
| 645 | * WhatTheHellHero: Downplayed, but he was surprised and disappointed that his own nation's less-than-ideal leadership wanted him to assume command of their nation merely on the basis that he has legit superpowers and lives up to their Communist ideals. While he acknowledges he would probably be the best person for the job, the fact that they choose him on the basis of powers and privileges he was born with - which is anathema to Communist beliefs of egalitarianism and the greater good - completely contradicts everything he was taught to believe in, and as a result he declines it unless they could make sure he would be treated no more or less fairly as every other qualified Hooviet candidates. |
| 646 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Had this reaction when thanks to a ploy by Dr. Silversmith he [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/970572648/5086694932 realised]] his attempt to finally realise his attempt to impose world communism on Tellus/Equus in the Second Age, even for the greater good, was fundamentally no different from some of the villains he opposed in the past due to the way he carried it out, making him in his own way just as bad as the villains he fought. [[TheAtoner It prompt him to immediately change course]]. |

| 653 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: His main superpower, like his rival and eventual love interest and partner Terra Firma, is the ability to change size, thanks to a Mountain Jotunn artifact the Hooviets recovered and managed to activate. |

| 747 | ** He's also the one who killed Judging Shadow (Yoshihiro Kira) by tricking Fortunate Shadow (Yoshikage Kira) into destroying the photograph containing his father's spirit.

Here, it took the combined effort of Dutiful River, Gosuke, Sacred Peace, and class president Fleeting Blossom to fight Beautiful Child, and she nearly succeeds in strangling them all to death with her Stand, [[PrehensileHair Love Deluxe]].

| 785 | * GhostlyGoals: As in canon, her goal is to have Fortunate Shadow, the one who killed her and Dover, be stopped and brought to justice. Initially, her goal was hampered by her GhostAmnesia due to trauma from her horrible death, preventing her from remembering her killer's name. Thanks to the Warriors' kindness and determination to help her, however, she eventually does get her wish and passes on. |
| 786 | * TheMagnificent: Known as "the Protector of Victims". |
| 787 | * NoSell: It turned out being already dead made her immune to [[GroundhogDayLoop Bites the Dust]]'s powers. She exploited this by helping Quick Stream trick Fortunate Shadow into revealing himself, setting up the circumstances that ended the "Mareioh Time Loops". |

| 803 | Cloud Runner (first introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/974573079/5113035568 here]]) was a ''bōsōzoku'' gang member who initially antagonized Gosuke Goldstar, but later turned over a new leaf and became one of Gosuke's closest allies. |
| 804 | ---- |
| 805 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In canon, Yuya Fungami appeared in the "Highway Star" arc during the second part of ''Diamond is Unbreakable''. Here, he not only got his Stand thanks to Blessed Wealth (Keicho Nijimura), but also helped Gosuke and his friends fight the first wave of evil Stand users like Shining Rock (Akira Otoishi), whose story arc, "Red Hot Chili Pepper", occurred during the first part of ''Diamond is Unbreakable''. |
| 806 | * AdaptationNameChange: [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Yuya Fungami]] is changed to Cloud Runner here. |
| 807 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: Yuya Fungami is a human Stand user. Here, he's an Earth Pony who later Ascended to godhood as an Alicorn. |
| 808 | * EasilyForgiven: Despite previously trying to drain Gosuke with Highway Star, Gosuke doesn't hold a grudge against him and heals his injuries free of charge, only telling him he could've avoided a lot of trouble if he just asked for someone to heal him. This is justified as he was left in pretty horrible shape after barely surviving his motorcycle accident, enough that Gosuke [[SympathyForTheDevil felt sorry for him]]. Gosuke would also point out how cruel it is for anyone to beat up a recovering hospital patient as depicted in [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable certain Second Age adaptations]]. |
| 809 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Yuya Fungami]]. |
| 810 | * HeelFaceTurn: After rethinking his life and future as a ''bōsōzoku'' gang member, he decides to turn a new leaf and do something good for once, joining the Warriors of Mareioh and helping them fight the evil Stand users that popped up in town. |
| 811 | * HeelRealization: Being healed to perfect health by Gosuke despite previously draining him with Highway Star got him to seriously rethink his life and future as a ''bōsōzoku'' gang member. This led to him pulling a HeelFaceTurn and joining the Warriors of Mareioh much earlier than canon. |
| 812 | * JapaneseDelinquents: He was a ''bōsōzoku'' gang member who, before meeting Gosuke, participated in street-racing and caused general ruckus like riding his motorcycle loudly through the streets of Mareioh. Being healed by Gosuke after a particularly bad motorcycle accident caused him to have a HeelRealization that eventually led to him turning over a new leaf. |
| 813 | * LifeDrain: As in canon, his Stand, Highway Star, has the power to drain people of their life-force. He used this ability to try recover from his injuries faster until Gosuke learned the truth and healed him instead. |
| 814 | * PointOfDivergence: |
| 815 | ** In canon, he got into a motorcycle accident and was shot by Yoshihiro Kira's Stand Arrow while recovering in the hospital, gaining a Stand. Here, he was shot with the Arrow by Blessed Wealth, Sacred Peace's older brother, while he was street-racing on his motorcycle, making Blessed Wealth the direct cause of his accident and resulting hospitalization. |
| 816 | ** His fight with Gosuke also occurred exactly the same way as it did in canon... up until Gosuke tracked him down to the hospital he was recovering in and saw his condition in-person. Feeling sorry for him, Gosuke used Crazy Diamond to heal him with no strings attached, telling him he could've avoided draining people if he just asked for help from the beginning. This led to him having his HeelFaceTurn and joining Gosuke's circle of friends much earlier than canon. |
| 817 | * TookALevelInKindness: Before meeting Gosuke, he was a ''bōsōzoku'' gang member who liked living fast and free, causing general ruckus and doing illegal things like street-racing. After getting into an accident and gaining the Stand Highway Star, he became desperate enough to try drain innocent people of their life-force so he could heal himself. Then Gosuke comes and heals him free of charge, the act of kindness shocking him into seriously rethinking his life and future. He ultimately decides to turn over a new leaf and do good instead, joining the Warriors of Mareioh and protecting their namesake town from evil Stand users like [[SerialKiller Fortunate Shadow]]. |
| 818 | * TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: He gained his Stand, Highway Star, after he got into a bad motorcycle accident thanks to Blessed Wealth shooting him with the Stand Arrow while he was street-racing, making him desperate to recover quickly. |

| 837 | ---- |
| 838 | * AdaptationalBadass: He helps stop Fortunate Shadow in his tracks by [[BigDamnHeroes suddenly showing up and whacking him in the face with a frying pan]], allowing the other Warriors of Mareioh to catch up to the SerialKiller. He survives the final confrontation with Fortunate Shadow, and he later Ascends as the Alicorn god of Food, Medicine, and Health. |

| 842 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Like his canon counterpart, Priceless Taste is a very kind stallion who's happy to cook food for his friends as well as any customers who enter his restaurant... but god help you if you get on his bad side. Fortunate Shadow found out the hard way when, while fleeing Gosuke and his friends, he is suddenly knocked to the ground by a very angry Priceless Taste, who hit the serial killer in the face by a frying pan. |

Said systems allow the robot to separate itself into three machines and recombine in a different order and configuration, effectively allowing Shinka Robo to have three robots for the price of one, each configuration coming with their own unique strengths and abilities. |

| 911 | * KarmicJackpot: His LastStand and HeroicSacrifice not only won the First Cthoreptilian Conflict for Tellusian Ponykind, but also made him a hero who was mourned by his comrades and was given a national funeral. |
| 912 | * LastStand: Chivalrous Samurai piloted Shinka Robo by himself (where normally at least three are needed to handle the strain) in order to hold off the Cthoreptilian Empire's final onslaught while Prof. Early Planter and his co-pilots worked to activate Shin Shinka Robo. |
| 913 | * TakingYouWithMe: When all hope seemed lost in the FinalBattle of the First Cthoreptilian Conflict, Chivalrous Samurai chose to invoke this on the Cthoreptilian forces and their leaders present in the city where it was happening by ripping out the power core of Shinka Robo and crushing it to trigger an explosive meltdown. The resulting detonation wiped out the city, the Cthoreptilians present and effectively won the war for Tellusian Ponykind. |

| 916 | [[folder:Sigma Blue]] |
| 917 | First mentioned in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/872587897/4933623120 Drabble]], Sigma Blue is a top-secret Ponyland government agency formed during the late 1920s following a series of Federal anti-crime raids which uncovered things ''far'' worse. Dedicated to defending Ponyland from cosmic horrors from beyond the stars and sanity as well as cults and other shadowy forces which traffic with them, for decades Sigma Blue would perform their duties with distinction, until a disastrous operation and manipulations by secret conspiracies led to them being shut down. Knowing what's out there and that few knows how to deal with them, they refused and instead went underground, continuing the fight no matter how terrible the costs to their lives and sanity and no hope of vindication or glory, knowing that every day they keep up the struggle is one more day Ponykind would live on in safety from the infinite dark. |
| 918 | ---- |
| 919 | * AntiHero: Firmly this, due to the questionable things they had to do. Overlaps with TragicHero because they are fully aware of and fully experience the costs of doing them. |
| 920 | * BenevolentConspiracy: They operate in the shadows and had done many questionable things, but are ultimately dedicated to protecting Ponyland and Ponykind as a whole from CosmicHorror beyond and the unscrupulous lots who associate, dabble or traffic with them. |
| 921 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Surprisingly, [[spoiler:they would eventually be exonerated by the Federal government and co-opted back in as an official top-secret government agency by the 1990s-2000s, when enough is known by the government and general public to realize the necessity of their mission as well as the hidden manipulations which screwed them over back in the late 60s]]. Most importantly, their efforts would pay off as Ponykind [[LovecraftLite would survive the horrors they fought]] well into the far future. |
| 922 | * {{Expy}}: The Codexverse counterpart of ''TabletopGame/DeltaGreen'', with a similar backstory to the GovernmentConspiracy from the critically-acclaimed tabletop RPG game based on the Franchise/CthulhuMythos and 1990s conspiracy fiction. |
| 923 | * GovernmentConspiracy: Sigma Blue was a top-secret Federal government agency before it was shut down, whereupon they continued to operate in secret within and outside the Federal government. [[spoiler:It became an official one again by the 1990s-2000s after they and their mission were exonerated]]. |
| 924 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: They have to do many questionable things in their war against the eldritch and occult, like executing innocent civilians who's only crime is knowing too much - and they had to do them because it's implied the alternatives are much, ''much'' worse. |
| 925 | * IWarnedYou: Why Sigma Blue was [[spoiler:eventually exonerated and reinstated as a Federal government agency - they were ''completely right'' about the dark forces they were fighting for decades and also right that few others are equipped to deal with them]]. |
| 926 | * LegacyCharacter: While long gone, well into the Fourth Age similar factions and organizations similar to Sigma Blue would continue the fight against the horrors from beyond and those who dabble with them. Equestria's top-secret SMILES organization is notably compare to Sigma Blue, especially when [[{{Foreshadowing}} rumours abound]] that [[NotQuiteDead they may not be as completely dismantled]] as they officially were... |
| 927 | * LovecraftLite: Fortunately, Sigma Blue live in a more optimistic universe than their inspiration, where it IS possible to fight off the eldritch horrors from beyond and those who traffic in them. It still took an inequine toll, but their efforts would [[EarnYourHappyEnding ultimately pay off with their vindication and Ponykind's survival]]. |
| 928 | * NoodleIncident: A 1969 operation in Zebrafrica by the agency went disastrously wrong. While what exactly happened was unrevealed, it contributed to Sigma Blue being shut down by the Federal government. |
| 929 | * SanitySlippage: What many of the Sigma Blue operatives had to unfortunately deal with, on account of having to deal with vile/mad cultists and sanity-shattering cosmic horrors on a weekly basis. |
| 930 | * TragicHero: What most Sigma Blue operatives effectively are, especially after their official closure and going underground post-1969. Fighting the eldritch and occult takes a monumental toll on their livelihood and sanity. Each and every operative are pretty much doomed the moment they choose to join the organization and the fight to preserve Ponyland and Ponykind as a whole from the horrors beyond.

| 972 | |
| 973 | Archona (Her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Ponyland-Bio-Archona-the-Last-Archonian-943247145 here]]) is as her epithet suggest the Last Archonian, an Extraequusian race of superequine beings whose incredible capabilities came from manipulation of their people's unique Biocosmic Field, fueled by vacuum energy she absorbed from the fabric of spacetime around her. As Archona is by certain metrics also the greatest of their race, her alien nature as well as upbringing in a harsh culture and the sheer power difference between her from most other beings made her develop an unfettered mentality where she abides only to her own principles and her own laws (safe when those few which are stronger forces her to subscribe to others), becoming feared for enforcing her own justice and will across the galaxy. |
| 974 | ---- |
| 975 | * AliensAreBastards: She and the Archonian Empire she came from were this, marauding across the universe in militant expansionism, with Archona firmly subscribing to her people's ideals and culture and contributing significantly in their conquests [[OneManArmy almost single-hoofed]]. [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4988549763 Even]] after Archona have a ([[ReformedButNotTamed sort of]]) [[HeelFaceTurn change of heart]], she's still very ruthless and unfettered, far more feared than loved and caring little for how others think of it. |
| 976 | * ApocalypseHow: Her ''[[EstablishingCharacterMoment very first]]'' Drabble depicts her annihilating an entire interstellar empire which had repeatedly attacked the sector of space she was supervising, levelling civilization, devastating planetary surfaces, shattering celestial bodies and killing ''trillions'' of sapient beings (who [[AssholeVictim admittedly had it coming]]) in a matter of minutes, hours and/or days. |
| 977 | * ArchEnemy: Has a few. Apollyon considers herself to be Archona's ArchEnemy, even if she refuses to give her any credit beyond being her most persistent foe. |
| 978 | * BewareTheSuperman: She is what happens when you combined a FlyingBrick with an alien worldview, have her raised in a harsh culture, and make her unable to relate with most beings due to the sheer power-gap. Being practically a PhysicalGod who can actually go hoof-to-hoof with real ones, she is her own principle, her own law, her own will - and there's little anyone less powerful than she is can do about it. |
| 979 | * BrokenAce: There are hints of this beneath her haughty, implacable and ruthless exterior, as Archona had been subjected to brutal social conditioning by her empire throughout her entire life which turned her into a superpowered killing machine who still upholds her empire's twisted philosophies, while leaving her somewhat out of her element behaving like a normal being. |
| 980 | * ByronicHero: To say she is morally complicated would be a massive understatement. At best, she is this, at worst, she's a WellIntentionedExtremist EvilOverlord. |
| 981 | * TheConqueror: Back when she was still a proud member of the old Archonian Empire, she imposed her will and that of the empire she was part of upon hundreds of worlds and star systems across the cosmos, [[OneManArmy often by herself]]. It's [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4988549763 implied]] she was virtually unstoppable in her conquest streak until she ran into Tellus, which did have not just one but multiple FlyingBrick metabeings capable of stalemating her and protecting it. |
| 982 | * CivilizationDestroyer: She is powerful enough to destroy entire interstellar civilizations by herself. Usually by destroying the worlds if not entire star systems they are in. |
| 983 | * CivilWar: [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Unintentionally instigated one]] and participated in it after her [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4988549763 experiences]] on Tellus led to a change in character, which somehow triggered a chain of events leading to a cataclysmic civil conflict to tear apart the Archonian Empire. By the time the dust settled, she was quite literally [[LastOfHisKind the last one standing]]. |
| 984 | * ColonyDrop: Archona is strong enough to push celestial objects around, and one of her ways to destroy entire planets is to throw another planet at it, or shatter one celestial body and throw continent-sized pieces at another targetted. |
| 985 | ** On a lesser scale and more hilarious note, she [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/943247145/5033767426 once]] attempted to throw a small asteroid from orbit at Santa's workshop in the North Pole after learning about him from Green Meadow and determining Santa to be a threat to be eliminated. She only didn't went through with it because Ultrarios talked her down. |
| 986 | * TheConscience: Green Meadow is one for her, being the one being she's closest to and vice-versa after he saved her life and cared for, becoming the one voice of reason and mercy she's most likely willing to listen to. She would keep her with him even after the end of his natural life by transferring his consciousness into her armour-attire and implants with his permission so he could continue be this for her. |
| 987 | * CulturedBadass: Having grown up in a culturally-deprived spartan culture, Archona grew fascinated with the history, arts, customs and other manifestations of intellectual achievement from other alien civilizations, and had amassed a considerable amount of knowledge and relics from those she encountered, conquered or destroyed over the centuries in both memory and various hidden vaults and bases. |
| 988 | * CurbstompBattle: Archona and Shining Saviour - a FlyingBrick supervillain foe of Metamare - once [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/5011456926 fought]] each other. While Shining Saviour has decades of experience fighting Metamare and other supers of that power level and had become a more formidable fighter than in his earlier days, he was still no match for Archona who was many centuries older and more battle-experienced, was strong enough to kill planets, and not afraid to use it to lethal effect. Needless to say, Shining Saviour was so badly thrashed that he only survived thanks to Metamare intervening at the last moment, and even then had to have his eyes replaced with bionics (having his original ones [[EyeScream being fried by Archona]]) and was out of commission for two years before he was able to even walk again unassisted. |
| 989 | * TheDreaded: She is feared across the known galaxy for being an unfettered FlyingBrick with enough power to destroy whole worlds and civilizations, and not afraid nor hesitant in the slightest to use it to pursue her own brand of justice and enforcing her will. She was terrifying enough that even after she stopped antagonising and moved to Tellus, her mere presence quailed Ponies in her presence. In one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/937051958/5024139678 Drabble]] a shoplifting mare became hysterical, wet herself and faint when she ran into Archona while the Last Archonian was shopping in a retail store during a winter holiday season, despite Archona not even lifting a hoof against her. |
| 990 | * EvilOverlord: Back when she was a member of the [[TheEmpire Archonian Empire]]. |
| 991 | * {{Expy}}: Her author specifically mentioned that she was conceived to play around with BewareTheSuperman characters, and some of her direct inspirations include Superman's foes Maxima and Ultraman as well as Shazam/Captain Marvel's foe Black Adam, with a bit of Omniman from Invincible. |
| 992 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: While her morality is more complicated than 'evil', she had difficulty understanding sentiments and concepts due to her ruthless upbringing and alien mentality. She is confused by Metamare's compassion and refusal to kill, while things like the winter holiday 'Solsmas' confounds her (she even remains [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/943247145/5033767426 convinced]] that Santa Hooves is a dangerous threat rather than the bringer of good cheer due to his incredible capabilities and to her inane motivations). |
| 993 | * FlyingBrick: She explicitly exists to play with BewareTheSuperman tropes and characters, and thus have all the standard powers of one. |
| 994 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 995 | ** To Metamare and other FlyingBrick superheroes InUniverse who are TheCape and TheParagon. Despite being implied to be a WellIntentionedExtremist at best, she is essentially what happens if Metamare lets her power go to her head and let it disconnect her from society and everyone less powerful than she is, leading to her becoming TheUnfettered and being able and willing to unleash her great world-breaking power to impose her own principles and will upon the universe. |
| 996 | ** To Magnamare, Metamare's own MirrorUniverse EvilCounterpart. The 'Tyrant From Beyond' to Metamare's 'Paragon From beyond', Magnamare is the opposite of Metamare in every way by using her superpowers to become a feared conquering tyrant instead of a beloved inspiring hero. Both Archona and Magnamare are quintessential examples of BewareTheSuperman, but Archona is implied to be at least something of a WellIntentionedExtremist whose morality is less openly evil and more alien. |
| 997 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Even after she stops antagonising Tellus and actually moves in with them, she is feared and resented due to her past history of attempted conquest and sheer ruthlessness. Archona for her part doesn't care what others think of her. |
| 998 | * GenocideSurvivor: She's the last of the Archonians, hence her title. The twist here is that it was partly self-inflicted via a brutal empire-wide CivilWar, with Archona herself [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed blowing up her own homeworld]] in the FinalBattle. |
| 999 | * HiddenDepths: Despite upholding her lost people's philosophy and seemed uncompromising on her principles, she's actually quite introspective about about it and harboured frequent questions and concerns about whether or not her position or that of her empire was right, to the point she was actually a reformer who tried to change things in the Archonian Empire when she was forced to realise how dysfunctional it was and was becoming. She's also a CulturedBadass who was fascinated by the many alien cultures beyond the Archonian Empire (which is quite spartan culturally) and amassed considerable knowledge and relics from those she encountered, conquered, and/or destroyed. |
| 1000 | * HurlItIntoTheSun: One of Archona's [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/981092770/5088419079 preferred]] way of disposing particularly troublesome opponents or dangerous objects is to throw them into the Sun or otherwise the nearest star, which is usually effective as the Sun is a massive fusion furnace dwarfing Tellus/Equus in size which the planet itself, nevermind most beings on it, would not survive being thrown into it, safe for small number of exceptions tough enough to do so. To note, this is even her preferred method of [[KillTheGod killing low-level enemy gods]]. |
| 1001 | --> '''Potentia:''' Mother, are you really going to solve all your problems by throwing them into the Sun?\ |
| 1002 | '''Archona:''' I found there are few problems which could not be [[DeadlyEuphemism resolved]] by throwing them into the nearest star. |
| 1003 | * HumanAliens: She is the last of an Extratellusian race, but looks Equine in appearance. |
| 1004 | * HowTheCharacterStoleChristmas: Once [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/943247145/5033767426 attempted]] to destroy Santa Hooves and his North Pole workshop by throwing a small asteroid at it from orbit after determining him to be a threat from her Archonian perspective. While Ultrarios talked her out of it, her mistrust for Santa Hooves led to her continuing to try and intercept or deter him from coming at her associate/companion Green Meadow's household or the regions she 'supervised' well into the Fourth Age upon her return, mostly failing due to his inability to be affected by anything but good cheer. |
| 1005 | * TheJuggernaut: InUniverse she is widely considered one of the most powerful and dangerous FlyingBrick class metabeing ever encountered by Tellus/Equus. During their first battle it took at least ''seven'' FlyingBrick supers (Metamare, Ultrarios, New Hooviet, Lady Liberty, Kaiserin, Overmatriarch, and others) just to force her into retreat. |
| 1006 | * KillTheGod: Archona is powerful enough that she could take on low-level gods head on. A NoodleIncident [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904477912/5036375259 mentions]] her killing a low-level GodOfEvil by punching him in the head hard enough to shatter a mountain, then grab and toss him into the Sun while he was still reeling. |
| 1007 | * LonelyAtTheTop: Her sheer power isolates her from many if not most other beings and make her unable to relate to them or them to her. As such, her mentality and morality is very different from most beings and contributes to her being the BewareTheSuperman trope when combined with her incredible capabilities. |
| 1008 | * MeaningfulName: Archon means 'Ruler' in ancient Greek, and is a term with some despotic connotation to describe an individual wielding great power and with it authority, befitting a super-powerful mare and the superequine Extraequusian race she came from. |
| 1009 | * LastOfHisKind: There is a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4988549763 reason]] why she is called the 'Last Archonian': a cataclysmic civil war tore apart her people's civilization and led to their self-destruction, with Archona being the SoleSurvivor and by default the greatest of her kind. |
| 1010 | * MightMakesRight: A defining trait of Archona and the Archonians' beliefs. They believe that those strong enough to do so can stand as their own principles, justice and will and can enforce it for and upon those who cannot, and would only respect and abide others' principles, justice and will if they have the strength to impose them upon her. This remains unchanged even after she have a change of heart and stopped antagonising Tellus, and it's implied that's partly because Metamare and others on Tellus [[WorthyOpponent proved they are strong enough]] to stop and even make her abide by their rules. |
| 1011 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: Due to her alien mentality, cultural upbringing and sheer power, Archona has little to no hesitation regarding the use of lethal force applied with extreme prejudice to solve problems (up to and including killing entire planets). This often [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/5010303419 causes]] issues with other Tellusian superheroes after she stopped antagonising and even settled on Tellus since many of them are [[ThouShaltNotKill ardently against use of lethal force]], while Tellusians Ponies remain [[TheDreaded flat-out terrified of her]] as a result. |
| 1012 | --> '''Archona:''' I have a proposal.\ |
| 1013 | '''Metamare:''' We're not ''killing'' anyone, Archona...\ |
| 1014 | '''Archona:''' I retract my proposal. |
| 1015 | * NinetiesAntiHero: Described as one by Cultura, being deeply flawed, utterly ruthless and more feared than loved in contrast to [[TheCape the likes]] of [[SupermanSubstitute Metamare]]. |
| 1016 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Being ruthless and unfettered in using her immense power to pursue her own justice and enforce her own will, Archona doesn't pull punches in dealing with opponents and problems. |
| 1017 | ** When faced with a [[AlwaysChaoticEvil vicious marauding alien empire]] who is out on conquering, despoiling and annihilating all in their path, rather than trying to appeal to their better nature or try to resolve conflict in a peaceful way, she went straight to [[CivilizationDestroyer obliterating their entire civilization]] and [[LeaveNoSurvivors killing]] ([[PetTheDog almost]]) [[LeaveNoSurvivors every single last one of them]]. |
| 1018 | ** When [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4988537098 meeting]] Virtuecrat Fairytale the first time upon returning to Tellus/Equus in the Fourth Age, she questioned Fairytale's gentle warning to abide by Her rules and challenged Her to prove She can enforce it upon her before she would do so. The moment Fairytale agreed to let Her power be tested, Archona immediately tried to hit Her with a MegatonPunch strong enough to ''shatter a continent''. Seeing Virtuecrat Fairytale almost effortlessly NoSell it with a hoof convinced her that [[TheWorfEffect even she is outmatched by Fairytale]] and [[KnowWhenToFoldEm led to her agreeing to abide to Her rules]]. |
| 1019 | ** When facing her most persistent foe Apollyon for the first time, Archona immediately went on the attack. She doesn't even let Apollyon finish introducing herself by repeatedly trying to kill her while she spoke. The fact that Apollyon was transformed by the Seven Demon Royals to be her perfect counter and cannot permenantly die so long as she is backed by the hellish powers are the only reasons why Archona hadn't terminated her yet. |
| 1020 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Shining Saviour, a FlyingBrick supervillain enemy of Metamare, received one from Archona when they battled each other and would had been dead had not Metamare intervened at the last moment. He was still wounded to the point he had to replace bionic eye replacements and spend two years in recovery before he could even walk again. |
| 1021 | * OddFriendship: With Green Meadow, an ordinary Earthpony Ponylander with whom they became close companions, considering the vast differences in personality and power between them with Archona being a ruthless (ex-)galactic conqueror able and willing to kill on ''planetary'' scales, while Green Meadow is a compassionate pacifist and environmentalist who is unwilling to even harm a living creature. |
| 1022 | * OneManArmy: She can not only destroy armies but even destroy the civilization and world they are on by herself. She is more than a one-mare army - she is a one-mare ''[[PlanetDestroyer planet killer]]''. |
| 1023 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Archona panicked for the first and unlikely only time in her life when confronting Green Meadow after getting her memories back, finding herself unable to harm him despite wanting to and realising that deep down she does still care for him as he does for her. This led to her abandoning her war on Tellus and returning to the Archonian Empire to try dealing with other issues in distraction. |
| 1024 | * PetTheDog: Has her moments despite being ruthless and relentless enough to wipe out whole worlds. |
| 1025 | ** Despite declaring she would kill every single one of them and proceeding to annihilate the entire vicious marauding imperialistic alien civilization she was targeting in her introductory Drabble, she actually spared a few hundreds of them who she did not consider part of the civilization due to not supporting and even opposing their people's horrible ways. Even though she could had just snuff them out like she did trillions of others, she instead merely rounded them up, put them on a MetalPoorPlanet and used her powers to numb their capacity for domination, cruelty and aggression just to be ''absolutely'' sure they would never threaten and terrorise the cosmos again. |
| 1026 | ** She [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/937051958/5028650814 spared]] a CorporateSponsoredSuperhero under the employ of an extremely corrupt megacorporation even after she killed off his entire team, since he was the only one who didn't act like the rest of his '[[EvilHero heroic]]' team by actually trying to prevent collateral damage or harming innocents as well as fighting competently despite being completely outmatched. She even helped him [[FakingTheDead fake his death]] so his megacorporation can't pull a YouHaveFailedMe / HeKnowsTooMuch on him long enough to get protection and training from members of the Paragons. |
| 1027 | * PhysicalGod: Subverted and PlayedWith. She ''isn't'' a god (Yet), but the Last Archonian is practically one given her powers and could fight at least lesser deities on equal terms. She is still outclassed by older and exceptionally powerful ones [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4988537098 like]] Virtuecrat Fairytale (who is strong enough to casually neutralise ''continent-shattering'' force). |
| 1028 | * PlanetDestroyer: Archona is powerful enough to casually destroy entire worlds, whether figuratively by levelling their surfaces and wiping out all civilizations or life, throwing them into other celestial objects, or [[MegatonPunch punching]] or blasting them with enough force to crack them in half. |
| 1029 | * PreMortemOneLiner: She delivered this to the leaders of a vicious, marauding and imperialistic Extraequusian empire which made the mistake of attacking the sector of space she was currently watching over too many times, before wiping them all out. |
| 1030 | --> '''Alien Leader:''' And what are you planning to do? ''[[PatrickStewartSpeech Lecture]]'' us?\ |
| 1031 | '''Archona:''' [[LittleNo No]]. I am going to kill [[LeaveNoSurvivors every single last one of you]]. |
| 1032 | * ReformedButNotTamed: It's [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4988549763 noted]] that while her experiences on Tellus changed her mind on certain things to the point she stopped being overtly villainous and antagonistic to Tellus, her alien mentality, cultural indoctrination and sheer power meant that she still strongly subscribed to her MightMakesRight beliefs, while still ruthless and unfettered enough in how she used her powers to enforce her principles, justice and will for and upon those she 'supervise' for the BewareTheSuperman trope to apply. |
| 1033 | * {{Santabomination}}: When [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/943247145/5033760400 told]] of his existence, Archona, due to her warped perspective from her upbringing and alien mentality is utterly convinced that Santa Hooves is this, due to his capabilities and (to her) incomprehensible motives, and sees him as an incredibly dangerous threat that needs to be neutralised. Since then she had attempted to intercept or deter him from Green Meadow's household or the regions she supervised during Solsmas without success, partly due to Santa's inability to be affected by anything but good cheer. |
| 1034 | * ShiplessFasterThanLightTravel: She is capable of doing this, having flew around the galaxy during her time as a galactic conqueror and later as a ruthless judicator. |
| 1035 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Shows traces of this. She abides and enforces mostly to her own principles, justice and will, and would not accept any other unless its subscribers could prove they are strong enough to impose it upon even her. To her credit, she would abide if they do prove to be the case. |
| 1036 | * SuperSpeed: She can blitz through entire armies and groups of champions, and being a metaphoric FlyingBrick, she can weaponise it by flying so fast the sheer heat generated from friction and compression with the atmosphere would ignite the skies and generate continent-scouring and sea-boiling firestorms and explosions. |
| 1037 | * SuperStrength: She is strong enough to shatter continents and crack planets in half with relative ease. |
| 1038 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: How she dealt with the homeworld of a vicious marauding imperialistic Extraequusian civilization which repeatedly attacked a sector of space she was supervising. First, she blitz through and killed every single member of the aliens' leaders, champions and armies; next, she flew around the planet so fast she ignited the atmosphere, scouring the surface of every continent and boiling the seas, obliterating all the cities, fortress and habitat on, near, in and under them; then, she moved into space and took out all the alien civilization's space stations and orbital colonies; finally, she flew into and [[DetonationMoon shattered the planet's moon]], levelling all the bases and infrastructure on it in one shot, and threw a continent-sized chunk of it back at the planet to impact with such force not just any alien, but any ''living thing'' which survived her earlier onslaught would be thoroughly sterilized. She would proceed to repeat the same upon every world and every star system the vicious alien empire control and colonised until every trace of it and every single alien ([[PetTheDog except for a few survivors she chose to spare]]) [[LeaveNoSurvivors had been erased from existence]]. |
| 1039 | * TalkingIsAFreeAction: Does not subscribe to this, as demonstrated with her first confrontation with her most persistent foe Apollyon. Archona doesn't even let her finish introducing herself before trying to kill her with eye beams, a thrown stalagmite, and then punching her with enough force to blow up the entire mountain they were in, much to Apollyon's frustration. |
| 1040 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Subverted HARD. If she believes she has cause to, she won't hesitate to just kill individuals, but utterly ''[[ApocalypseHow annihilate]]'' [[FinalSolution their entire civilizations and species]], sparing only a very few she deemed not deserving sharing their people's fates. Played straight for the winter holiday season, as according to one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/937051958/5024139678 Drabble]] she promised a close associate on Tellus after she moved there not to use her normal lethal methods for enforcing order and justice during that time. |
| 1041 | * {{Ubermensch}}: She is her own principle, law and will, and mostly abide to them unless others make it clear they can enforce others or theirs upon her. Problem is, many if not most can't do that [[BewareTheSuperman due to her sheer power and near-unfettered willingness to use it]]. |
| 1042 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Implied from her actions, as she is described as delivering her own brand of justice across the cosmos and 'supervise' whole regions of space and the worlds there, dealing with many threats which would threaten them. Problem is, due her [[BlueAndOrangeMorality warped mentality]], her methods are often extreme if not outright horrific by Equusian moral standards, and due to her sheer power and abiding only to her own principles, law and will, there's little many can do to challenge her. |
| 1043 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Having never been treated as anything other than a weapon, leader or symbol and being distanced from most mundane beings by her sheer power, genuine love and affection confuses her, and being cared for as a person for the first time in her life by Green Meadow while she was amnesiac (and realising the vice-versa also applied) was enough to send her into a VillainousBSOD. |
| 1044 | * TheWorfEffect: While ungodly powerful and don't restrain herself from using said power, she had been on the receiving end of this trope herself as she had been running around delivering it to those who earned her ire. |
| 1045 | ** When she returned to Tellus/Equus in the Fourth Age and [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/914602463/4988537098 found]] her way into the Realms of Vertusia, Virtuecrat Fairytale [[ThatWasntARequest kindly suggest]] to her that she abides to Her dominion's rules while she is there and not just merely abiding only to her own principle and law, as not only is She sincere about them in Her benevolence, but also like Archona in her regions of space She can enforce this in Her own realm. When Archona objected to this, Virtuecrat Fairytale ''permitted'' her to try and challenge her over it - and casually intercepted and blocked an immediate ''continent-shattering'' MegatonPunch from the last Archonian with her own sabaton-clad hoof, even dissipating most of the force behind it would not devastate the world they are on, reacting and moving at relativistic speeds to do so. Recognising from her own mental extrapolation that she is clearly outmatched by the Sovereign of Goodness, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Archona immediately concedes]] and abides to Her rules while in Vertusian territory from then on out of respect, showing the same courtesy to Her other Sovereigns of Morality counterparts. |
| 1046 | ** While she put up a good fight, her defeat after a hard battle with the villain Endtimes - an Apocalypse expy - highlights how dangerous HE is in turn. |
| 1047 | * WorthyOpponent: She respects those who prove themselves stronger than she is and would abide with their rules and laws once they prove they can enforce them over even her, such as Virtuecrat Fairytale. In one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4988549763 Drabble]] she agreed to let the Tellusian Ponies deal with a genocidal dictatorship their way after Metamare fought and stopped her from doing it her way (which would entail her personally wiping out not just the regime but every single supporter of it). |
| 1048 | * VillainousBSOD: For all her implacable and relentless personality, she had moments of vulnerability. Having never been shown true love and being treated as an equal, she panicked for the first and likely only time in her life when she realised she truly developed feelings for Green Meadow such that she can't bring herself to harm him. She was also reportedly shaken by the destruction of her people in the Archonian Civil War (partly due to her attempts to reform it, and then fighting in it), and spend the early part of her asylum on Tellus trying to come to terms with it and [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife finding a new meaning for herself]] as the last Archonian. |
| 1049 | * VillainsOutShopping: Technically 'WellIntentionedExtremist Out Shopping' as she had stopped antagonising Tellus by that point, but one [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/937051958/5024139678 Drabble]] depicts her shopping in a retail store to buy a Solsmas gift for a close Pony associate she has. Despite having promised not to harm anyone during the holiday season, her [[TheDreaded mere presence was still so terrifying]] most shoppers present were quailed when she showed up. |
| 1050 | * WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Contributed to the destruction of the Archonian Empire and people during the Archonian Civil War, personally blowing up her own homeworld in the FinalBattle which destroyed the remnants of the warring factions. |

| 1054 | First mentioned in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4981673691 Drabble]], Sunray Palmtree aka Atomic Stallion is a superhero who could manipulate his size, specialising in shrinking. |
| 1055 | ---- |
| 1056 | * DatingCatwoman: Was romantically involved with a fellow scientist Adoring Zeal, who turned out to be the size-shifting giant supervillainess Titanica. Despite the shock both experienced when they discovered their 'Super'-identities, they decided to continue dating. |
| 1057 | * {{Expy}}: Of the Atom. |

| 1061 | [[folder:Average Stallion]] |
| 1062 | First mentioned [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4971818862 in this drabble]], Average Stallion is one of Shadow Sentinel III's most useful informants precisely because he's so incredibly average. |
| 1063 | ---- |
| 1064 | * BeneathNotice: Average Stallion is so average and unremarkable in every possible way that he's rarely noticed and can blend into any crowd. This allows him to be a very useful informant for Shadow Sentinel III because he can sit right next to villains or crime bosses at meetings and no one pays any attention at all to him. |
| 1065 | * TheNondescript: He's such RidiculouslyAverageguy, that no one would suspect him of mbeing a spy for the Shadow Sentinal. |
| 1066 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: It's right there in the name. Exploited by both Neighkus and Shadow Sentinel III, who make use of him being so incredibly average so as to be beneath notice. |

| 1070 | !!!'''Character:''' Heroic |

| 1072 | !!!'''Type:''' Activist, Ideal Hero, Science Hero, Teacher |
| 1073 | !!!'''Faction:''' Assorted civil rights groups, Federal Republic of Ponyland, his family |
| 1074 | \ |
| 1075 | First mentioned in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4897766881 Drabble]], Doctor Dynamo is a Zebra superhero who was proactive in both the Ponyland superhero community and civil rights movement. |
| 1076 | ---- |
| 1077 | * ActualPacifist: Surprisingly, he actually managed to be this the very vast majority of the time despite being a super-hero (in fact, there were only three times in a 42 year career when he actually resorted to violence and each and every time was against a villain both tough enough to survive him going all out and evil enough to fully deserve AND require it). Justified not only because he had been brought up to firmly believe that clear cut self-defense and the direct defense of others were the ONLY morally acceptable reasons for resorting to violence (and it becomes A LOT harder to justify self-defense when you are nigh-invulnerable), but also because he was trying very hard to minimize the fuel for bigots. |
| 1078 | * BadassPacifist: Given that a big part of his method of operations was finding ways to solve big problems without resorting to violence, definitely. |
| 1079 | * BadassTeacher: He was a science teacher in his civilian identity and he possessed medium level super-strength, limited invulnerability and electrical powers. |
| 1080 | * BarrierWarrior: While certainly nigh-invulnerable, he was still able to use his electric powers to produce force fields to protect others. |
| 1081 | * BirdsOfAFeather: He was a close friend of civil rights icon, Reverend Beautiful Dreamer, due to their mutual interests in peaceful protests against social injustices. |
| 1082 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He was certainly a very good-natured sort and definitely practiced what he preached when it came to pacifism, but on the EXTREMELY rare occasions when he was pushed WAY too far, he was frighteningly dangerous. |
| 1083 | * TheCape: He was a truly noble sort and took the traditional super-hero rules even further than most. There is a very good reason he has been favorably compared to Metamare many times over the course of his career. |
| 1084 | * CompositeCharacter: He is primarily based on DC Comics' Black Lightning (a teacher in his civilian identity and electrical powers) and Marvel Comic's Luke Cage (his civilian name "Caged Bird" and having super-strength and near-invulnerability) |
| 1085 | * GeniusBruiser: Despite his pacifistic nature, Caged Bird/Doctor Dynamo definitely had the intellect for the genius part (smart enough to teach high school science in the 1940s despite being a Zebra AND smart enough to invent the formula that gave him his powers himself) and had the super-strength and nigh-invulnerability to qualify for the bruiser part. |
| 1086 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: While not at the levels of Silversmith, Caged Bird WAS a scientific genius, but also a courteous and friendly sort who went out of his way to help others as needed. |
| 1087 | * HappilyMarried: He was noted as being an extremely loving and faithful husband and father. |
| 1088 | * HeroicLineage: He had two sons who also inherited super-powers and became heroes: Stout Alvin (he inherited Caged Bird/Doctor Dynamo's super-strength and nigh-invulnerability and became a hero as a teenager in 1971) and Colt Hoofphestus (who inherited Doctor Dynamo's electrical powers and became a super-hero in college, eventually becoming a member of the Paragons in 1978) |
| 1089 | * HopeBringer: He specifically set out to inspire hope for not just Zebras (though he did try especially hard to be a positive role model for the Zebra community), but for all sapient races. |
| 1090 | * IdealHero: In addition to preaching and practicing peaceful protests against social injustices, Doctor Dynamo also never drank, gambled or smoked and VERY rarely swore. |
| 1091 | * LogicalWeakness: Due to his having electrical powers AND the increased molecular density that gave him his super-strength and near-invulnerability, Doctor Dynamo was doubly vulnerable to water (though he COULD shut off his electrical powers so that he could safely drink water or take showers). Unfortunately, as common place as water is, it also counts as a Weaksauce Weakness. |
| 1092 | * MyGreatestFailure: He felt EXTREMELY guilty about his [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4897766881 inability]] to foil the assassination of close friend Reverend Beautiful Dreamer, whom he was bodyguarding on that faithful day in 1968. |
| 1093 | * NighInvulnerability: Due to his molecular density being greatly increased by the formula that gave him his powers, Doctor Dynamo was physically durable enough to withstand any physical assault sort of and including tank artillery. |
| 1094 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: According to Comickook, Doctor Dynamo's character was inspired by a few prominent African-Americans, such as baseball player UsefulNotes/JackieRobinson, civil rights activist UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr, and former TV star Creator/BillCosby. However, unlike Bill Cosby, Doctor Dynamo fully and genuinely lived up to his spotless public image, and never indulged in the same sexually predatory behaviors that ruined Bill Cosby's television career/legacy. |
| 1095 | * PapaWolf: Even with his pacifistic nature AND knowledge of his sons being super-heroes too, he was still extremely protective of his wife and children. |
| 1096 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: His social activism certainly gave him these tendencies. |
| 1097 | * ShootingSuperman: Or rather, 'Shooting Metamare' in-universe. He has been on the [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4910850269 receiving end]] of this trope literally thousands of times over the course of his career; he would actually make a habit of calmly trying to talk to beings who were trying in vain to shoot, stab and club him and teach them a better way. |
| 1098 | * ShockAndAwe: He [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4911750847 could]] generate and control electricity with his mind, which he could use for a wide range of effects, such as force fields, heat for metal work, providing emergency power for certain buildings and, EXTREMELY rarely (due to his pacifistic nature) electrical blasts. |
| 1099 | * SuperStrength: Not at Metamare's levels by any means, but [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4911750847 could]] still more than enough to comfortably lift a ten ton truck with one forehoof, dig through solid rock at faster than steam shovel speeds and punch a good sized hole through two-foot thick reinforced steel. |
| 1100 | * ThouShaltNotKill: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4897766881 Taken]] to even higher levels than most other Second Age super-heroes. Due to his pacifistic nature, he actually [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4910850269 took it]] to the levels of "Thou shalt not even resort to violence in the first place the very vast majority of the time" (though, even when he DID resort to violence, he still adhered firmly to a no-killing policy) |
| 1101 | * TurnTheOtherCheek: He absolutely LIVED this trope. Thanks to his superpowers he could literally weather all the punches and weapons-fire until he talked down his opponent. |
| 1102 | * WeaksauceWeakness: As aforementioned, his water weakness. The assassin who took out his friend Beautiful Dreamer on that fateful day in 1968 got through him using a ''water pistol''. |

| 1111 | Dr. Curing Claw (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Ponyland-Heroes-and-Villains-Part-23-888225486 here]]) is a Ponyland scientist seeking to make a miracle cure, but was turned into a horrifying beast and continued to try and be a hero regardless. |
| 1112 | ---- |
| 1113 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Both Nathaniel Leech and Kurt Conners have no real control over their monstrous personas. Thanks to Silversmith, Curing Claw ''does'' and uses his powers to be a superhero. |
| 1114 | * BodyHorror: His mutated form is a hideously deformed mishmash of pony and rat. |
| 1115 | * CompositeCharacter: He's primarily based off Nathaniel Leech from the monster movie ''Bottom Feeder''. However, their stories diverge in that Curing Claw is captured by superheroes alive and Silversmith and Bright Eyes managed to cure his mind and return him to his senses. This result in him taking aspects of [[ComicBook/SpiderMan the Lizard]] (being a scientist turned mutant monster who also ends up being a friend to Web Warrior in his cured state) and [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Master Splinter]] (being a human mutated into a rat creature who adopted father of mutant animals he raised to be heroic). |
| 1116 | * HealingFactor: His mutation was the result of having a healing drug he'd developed forced on him and administered wrong. He now has a natural healing factor as a result. However, he needs protein to power it. |
| 1117 | * HeroicSacrifice: Curing Claw ultimately pulled one to stop a bioweapon from destroying a city, but died content knowing despite his ordeal, he had saved lives and had been a hero. |
| 1118 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He's understandably horrified to learn he killed and ate ponies in his mutated insanity before being cured, though it's noted that he never really had any agency at the time. |
| 1119 | * ProfessorGuineaPig: Completely unintentionally on his part. He was forced to be the test subject of his own miracle drug. As it was completely improperly administered, it [[GoneHorriblyWrong went horribly wrong]]. |
| 1120 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: Nathaniel Leech was ultimately killed at the end of ''Bottom Feeder'', here several heroes manage to arrive in time to capture him alive. This results in his mind being cured and him having a BittersweetEnding to the whole affair. |
| 1121 | * StrongAndSkilled: After having his mind restored, Curing Claw ends up training in various martial arts on top of his superequine physical attributes. |
| 1122 | * TranshumanAbomination: Dr. Curing Claw was turned into a ravenously mad rat-Pony hybrid monstrosity which lurked in the sewers eating Ponies before his mind was cured. |
| 1123 | * WasOnceAMan: He used to be a normal pony, but due to being used as an unwilling test subject for his own miracle drug in a completely improper fashion caused him to mutate into a horrific pony-rat monstrosity. While his mind was able to restored, his body wasn't. |

| 1159 | ---- |
| 1160 | * ArchEnemy: Had one in Mecha Master, whose attack on the city he was living in triggered his transformation, but who he later decided to spare and save after discovering he turned to villainy due to the getting cancer from Radiant Mind's twisted experiments and turned against the country who let it happened. Also have one in Radiant Mind himself, whose radiation experiment [[ItsPersonal turned him into a monster-shifting mutant to begin with]]. |
| 1161 | * AtomicHate: Fire Heart was an unfortunate victim of Radiant Mind, the Demon Doctor's twisted radiation experiments, being one of many Ponies who were unwittingly injected with large quantities of plutonium. The exposure to radiation triggered latent 'metagenes' which granted Fire Heart his transformation abilities as Beast-Shifter. [[ItsPersonal Needless to say]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he was part of the effort to take down Radiant Mind]] when he was finally exposed as the culprit. |
| 1162 | * CompositeCharacter: According to his creator, he is a mix of [[Franchise/Ben10 Ben 10]] (in terms of personality and the upgrade Silversmith gives him) and [[Anime/SSSSGridman Anti]] (in terms of certain aspects of how his transformations work and his favored beetle form). |
| 1163 | * {{Kaiju}}: Beast-Shifter can assume gigantic, monstrous forms of various animals, with the upper limit at around 100 meters. |
| 1164 | * KidHero: |
| 1165 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Subverted the first time he transformed. After driving off Mecha Master, it appeared that he would be attacked by the Ponyland military who just arrived on the scene, forcing him to flee. Fortunately, the Ponyland army general wasn't actually planning on ordering his troops to open fire (since the intel he got clearly informed him they were dealing with a rampaging ROBOT, not a giant bug monster that happened to have stopped it), while Fire Heart's mother quickly told said general what happened, further clearing any potential misunderstandings. Metamare, who also just arrived on the scene, also caught onto this, and later found Fire Heart hiding in the mountains and helped him get back to his normal form. |
| 1166 | * {{Shapeshifting}}: Beast Shifter's primary power is the ability to transform into giant kaiju versions of any living organisms he could sense around him. |
| 1167 | * {{Sidekick}}: He was taken under Metamare's wing and was her sidekick in his time as a KidHero, before going his own way as a superhero in his own right. |

| 1175 | ---- |

| 1177 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Between his connection to his [[{{Lunacy}} Moon deity patron]], his drug intake, and who knows what other issue, Lunar Squire is not all there in the head. |
| 1178 | * DrugsAreBad: This guy is an open ketamine addict and it contributes to his questionable sanity. Generally PlayedForLaughs, however, as his divine patron's boons [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4953041123 apparently]] shields him from the detrimental side-effects that made them bad to begin with. |

| 1181 | '''Supervillain:''' [[FlatWhat Wait, what?]] [Is punched out while distracted] |
| 1182 | * {{Expy}}: Of Moon Knight from Marvel Comics - with the catch being he's the memetic version of the character, a drug-doping troll whose sanity is (even more) questionable. |
| 1183 | * GadgeteerGenius: He makes use of an arsenal of mystical and technological tools and weapons to fight crime and perform superheroics to rival the Shadow Sentinels themselves. There's enough of them that his opponents detract him for being able to attack with all sorts of '[[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4951377591 random horseapples]]'. To which he has only this to say... |
| 1184 | --> '''Lunar Squire:''' [Attacks] Random horseapples, GO! |
| 1185 | * GuileHero: This guy may be not all there in the head, but he is no fool. In the Fourth Age he [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/887703883/4950764352 once]] managed to get Victorious Princess, the Blood Queen and her Blood Court of Griffish Vampires trapped in her own castle's basement during a Nightmare Night party and slowly flood it with Holy Water so he could demand his long-overdue debt she owe him. |
| 1186 | * MasterSwordsman: Was at one point in possession of the sapient (and equally off-the-rocker) evil-turned-good sapient sword Blood Reaper, the Blackhearted Blade and used the literally bloodthirsty weapon to fight evil and crime. They remain friends even after they parted ways. |
| 1187 | --> '''Supervillain:''' Where did you get a sword just as insane as you?!\ |
| 1188 | '''Lunar Squire:''' Oh, he had an ad online: crazy vampiric sword seeks equally crazy superhero!\ |
| 1189 | '''Blood Reaper:''' I admit, I honestly didn't expect to get any offers! |
| 1190 | * NoodleIncident: |
| 1191 | ** For some reason, Victorious Princess, the Blood Queen owes him money since the Second Age, and he has pestered her for tens of thousands of years trying to collect his debt, even flooding her castle's basement with Holy Water while she and her Blood Court was having a Nightmare Night party there to force her to give him back the cash. |
| 1192 | --> '''Lunar Squire:''' Victorious Princess, you big bucking nerd! Where's my godsdamn money?! |
| 1193 | ** Web Warrior apparently [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4952978061 once]] mistook him for some Extratellusian being called the Cosmic Coaster. And was convinced to give him both his wallet and any drugs he somehow happened to have on his person to him. The best part is that this is a ShoutOut to a Marvel Comics issue where apparently Spider-Man somehow mistook Moon Knight for the Silver Surfer. |
| 1194 | --> '''Web Warrior:''' Look, I didn't know what the Cosmic Coaster looked like, okay?! |
| 1195 | * RunningGag: Lunar Squire is frequently depicted trying to get back his money from heroes and other beings who owe him the cash, most notably Victorious Princess, the Blood Queen, who he had been chasing after for her long-overdue debt for literally ''tens of thousands'' of years. Also whenever his [[DrugsAreBad drug addiction]] is PlayedForLaughs. |
| 1196 | * ShoutOut: His entire character here is one big shoutout to the many Moon Knight memes online which exaggerates his [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} lunacy]] for laughs. |
| 1197 | * SirSwearsalot: Lunar Squire is remarkably foul-mouthed. |
| 1198 | --> '''Lunar Squire:''' [Revealing himself flooding Victorious Princess' basement with holy water] That's right, b***! Now where's my godsdamn money?! Don't make me come down there and waterboard you, s***heel!" |

| 1216 | ---- |
| 1217 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of everything Overmare and the Overdom stood for - with the catch of representing all the benevolent aspects of them. She [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4887966322 describes]] herself as the living incarnation of all those who have to vision, will and resolve to conquer ignorance and malevolence in the cause of enlightenment and benevolence. |
| 1218 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She became this to Overmare morally and in terms of abilities, having all of her benevolent traits, her intellect and even the strength and powers of her ArchEnemy Metamare. It's implied that this would go up a notch after Overmonarch is destroyed and she become the sole embodiment of all that Overmare and the Overdom represents, with Overmonarch no longer around to compete for the 'power-supply'. |
| 1219 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Technically, [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4887966322 according to her]], she had never left, and will live so long as sapients sought to conquer ignorance and malevolence in the name of enlightenment and benevolence. As such, when benevolent empires dedicated to bringing peace, prosperity and progress like the Terran Empire arose in the Fourth Age, so too did she return from her disembodied dormancy, as she had before in previous eras. Knowing this and the 'Time of Trials' they are in, a similar resurrected Lady Liberty directed Princess Patch in finding her and help get her back in action out of the realization they need as many 'Metamare analogues' like herself as they could to get through the time period]]. |
| 1220 | * DestructoNookie: Implied to [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4899858763 have one]] with [[spoiler:Magna, the King of Conquerors]] after both fell in love with each other and [[DivineDate started dating]]. One is [[spoiler:an ancient heroic Alicorn god with all the traits of the Pony Tribes (including Earthpony strength and durability) enhanced to a divine degree]], while the other is a Metamagnetically-incarnated benevolent personification of the Overdom and Overmare with intellect rivalling her mother/creator and superpowers rivalling her mother/creator's ArchEnemy ''[[SupermanSubstitute Metamare]]''. This resulted in the remote beach they went to for a private picnic and a friendly spar reduced to an [[PersonOfMassDestruction area of craters and rubble]], with local geologists noting '[[SexualEuphemism unusual tremors]]' that don't correspond to a fight between super-strong beings occurring... for over an hour. |
| 1221 | --> '''Princess Bright Eyes:''' Overmatriarch, why is the remote beach you and Magna went to for a private picnic now full of craters and rubble?\ |
| 1222 | '''Overmatriarch:''' Overmatriarch had a friendly spar with her new beloved companion. I admit it may had escalated in a rather... unexpected direction towards the end.\ |
| 1223 | '''Princess Bright Eyes:''' Would that explain the 'unusual tremors' local geologists had reported - which don't correspond to a fight between super-strong beings, I might add - lasting for over an hour?\ |
| 1224 | '''Overmatriarch:''' A [[UnderStatement rather]] unexpectedly '''[[SexualEuphemism passionate]]''' direction... |
| 1225 | * DivineDate: After both returned in the Fourth Age and allied their restored empires with each other owing to similar moralities, goals and characters, [[spoiler:Magna, the King of Conquerors]] and Overmatriarch would both [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/865347817/4899679644 fall in love]] and eventually declare their affection to each other and the world in the most appropriately [[LargeHam spectacular, ego-befitting manners]] possible. A lot of people note in hindsight this was somewhat inevitable. Downplayed in that Overmatriach is far from mortal, being the benevolent metamagnetically-incarnated personification of the 'Second Age' Overdom and her mother Overmare who has her mother's intellect and her mother's ArchEnemy Metamare's superpowers, though the idea still applies. |
| 1226 | * FlyingBrick: Like her twin Overmonarch, she not only has Overmare's intellect and noble traits, but also Overmare's rival Metamare's strength and powers. |
| 1227 | * GoodCounterpart: Of ''Overmare'' and the Overdom, being created to be their AnthropomorphicPersonification as Herrenvolk and Lady Liberty are for Reichist Germaney and Ponyland, but due to the extremely contradictory nature of Overmare's character (being both an egotistical, vindictive and despotic conquering mastermind who want to control the world but also a well-intentioned, honourable and sympathetic hegemonic visionary who sincerely want to make the world a better place), she was split off from her 'twin' Overmonarch who embodied all of the former while she embodied all of the latter. She is also naturally the GoodCounterpart to her EvilCounterpart 'twin-sister' Overmonarch. |
| 1228 | * LargeHam: Being an embodiment of all the (positive) aspects of her mother as well as the Overdom, she evidently [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4887966322 inherited]] her mother's flair for eloquent dramatics. |
| 1229 | * StartMyOwn: Mentioned to have started her own 'New/Second Overdom' after she turned on her mother, hoping to create a nation of her own which would truly be everything her mother see/want her Overdom to be and should be. [[spoiler:She wasted no time rebuilding it following her [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4887966322 return]] in the Fourth Age]]. |
| 1230 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Because she embodies all of Overmare's benevolent traits and all the best the Overdom represents, it was noted she turned against her 'mother' Overmare after the end of the 'Overmonarch Crisis', as Overmare for all her merits does not live up to her own ideals and vision and would remain a threat to the world, so long as the side of her and that of her Overdom which created Overmonarch exists. |
| 1231 | * {{Ubermensch}}: By implication, given she is meant to be an incarnation of everything Overmare represents, albeit all the better aspects. |
| 1232 | * WorfHadTheFlu: While she is technically half of a greater being she was meant to be, due to Overmare's villainous character overshadowing her heroic traits, she started out weaker than her ArchEnemy and EvilCounterpart Overmonarch and had to join forces with Overmare, Metamare and Silversmith to take her EvilCounterpart down. But given this is stated as only 'initially' so, it's implied she got much, ''much'' stronger after they took down Overmonarch. |

| 1244 | |
| 1245 | His world was aided by the Power Rangers in his and his people's resistance struggle against the tyranny of his evil uncle Count Dregon, and who in turn came to Tellus to aid the Power Rangers and help protect their world when Count Dregon and his forces launched their own invasion as payback. Inspired from his youth by pirated television/Holotube broadcasts of Tellus' superheroes and their adventures, Dex takes much of his larger-than-life heroic character from his heroes both real and fictional, and proved to be no less worthy of being one himself. |
| 1246 | ---- |
| 1247 | * AlienAmongUs: Was an Extratellusian alien/'Visitor' and moved in with Moki Sunbright (the Pink Power Ranger)'s family while staying on Tellus/Equus to battle Count Dregon. His race's uncanny resemblance to Tellusian/Equusian Ponies made it easy for him to fit in appearance-wise, although his mannerisms took a little longer. |
| 1248 | * TheCape: Due to being raised by a linage of superheroes and religiously watching Tellusian superhero programming as he grew, Dex ended up as this, being a genuinely heroic, selfless person who wants to help others because it's the right thing to do. Given one of the heroes he was idolized most was ''Metamare'', this should be no surprise. |
| 1249 | * {{Expy}}: A re-imagined Codexverse version of Series/MaskedRider, with alterations made to [[FixFic fix the issues]] that plagued the original series as well as giving it a proper ending. |
| 1250 | * LargeHam: Thanks to being raised on a 'diet' of Tellusian/Equusian media broadcasted and received through the intergalactic wormhole, on top of developing a [[TheCape heroic disposition]], he also acquired a larger-than-life persona and associating mannerism, often making grandiose proclamations of justice and heroism, making him dorky but also endearing and charismatic. To note, when he got into HamToHamCombat with the similarly grandiose but villainous Overmare in their first confrontation while helping out the Four Riders, Metamare and Dr. Silversmith to battle against her. |
| 1251 | --> '''Overmare:''' [[HypocriticalHumor And lesser minds say the Overmare is melodramatic]]. |
| 1252 | * RealAfterAll: Played straight and inverted. Raised upon a 'diet' of media broadcasts pirated through a wormhole from another galaxy, without knowledge to tell otherwise Dex assumed all the characters in the superhero shows he grew up watching are real. This is only half-true, as while to his delight Metamare is real, in-universe Superpony is still just a fictional superhero from DC Comics. Of course, Metamare [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/862362266/4915195561 HAD]] met Superpony before, but that was in another universe where DC Comics characters and setting is real during a universe-hopping adventure. A [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/831577484/4915196078 consensus]] developed that letting Dex know this would be a bad idea since his adoration of superheroes might compel him to try and go there just to see them. |
| 1253 | --> '''Dame Patch:''' Prince Dex thinks Superpony is real.\ |
| 1254 | '''Metamare''' To be fair, he isn't wrong. He actually DOES really exist in another universe.\ |
| 1255 | '''Dame Patch:''' Probably better not tell him that. He would likely try very hard to find a way to reach that universe.\ |
| 1256 | '''Metamare''' Point taken. |
| 1257 | * WarriorPrince: Dex was born into royalty and is the second in line to the throne [[spoiler:until his father was murdered by his uncle Count Dregon]]. He was also trained to wield the Hopper Power and use it to battle those who would threaten his homeworld of Edenoi. |

| 1265 | \ |
| 1266 | Professor Noble Worker (his entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Ponyland-Heroes-and-Villains-Part-20-862362266 here]]) is a famous, extremely influencial scientist and close friend of Silversmith, as well as an immortal 'Relativistic Anomaly' that helps guard the fabric of reality. |
| 1267 | ---- |
| 1268 | * TheAntiNihilist: He has this view of the world, especially after his accident and transformation. While the universe is cold and uncaring, it is still by its physical nature empathetic and responsive to sapientkind's actions and feelings, making it important to him that people act with benevolence rather than malevolence, since the latter contributes nothing, while the former adds to and makes existence a better place. |
| 1269 | * ArchEnemy: One of the nemeses of Overdom-aligned supervillain Calculous, the Broken Cog (Codexverse Expy of [[spoiler:Alan Turing]] post-persecution by his country), in part because both are a {{Foil}} to each other. |
| 1270 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His Cutie Mark is the equation E=MC[[superscript:2]]. It's not only his signature equation InUniverse, but it's also associated with UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein, whom he's based off of. |
| 1271 | * BadassPacifist: Like his inspiration Albert Einstein, he's a staunch pacifist. However, he's also gained relativity and spatial-warping powers from an experiment GoneHorriblyWrong, but only uses them to protect others and perform acts of heroism. |
| 1272 | * ChildProdigy: Even before reaching the age of twelve, he became a prodigy in mathematics and physics to the point where he taught himself both algebra ''and'' Euclidean geometry ''over a single summer''. Even his family tutor acknowledges his outstanding talent and intelligence. |
| 1273 | * CompositeCharacter: He's mostly based on UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein... until his accident and transformation. Following that, he gained elements of [[DoctorWhomage Doctor Who]] and [[Franchise/Ben10 Professor Paradox]]. |
| 1274 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: [[spoiler:After being sucked into a singularity following an experiment gone horribly wrong, he encountered the Architects, the impossibly ancient and alien {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that laid the foundations of the universe. He apparently had casual conversation with them and learned a lot. At least after lesser gods translated for them.]] |
| 1275 | * EinsteinHair: He's known for his baldness and wild, unkempt hair. It became so iconic that it created a style called "Noble Worker Hair" InUniverse. |
| 1276 | * EnlightenmentSuperpowers: After being sucked into a singularity, he bore witness to the underpinnings of reality [[spoiler:and met [[TopGod the Architects]]]]. His superpowers are the result of learning about the true nature of existence and thus "where all the shortcuts are". |
| 1277 | * FlatEarthAtheist: Subverted. While he initially like Albert Einstein in real life is an atheist, this is mostly due to him being a scientist and not seeing any empirically-verified/verifiable evidence for their existence. He changed his mind as soon as he discovered [[spoiler:the existence of the 'Architects', and with it]] the real, scientifically-provable existence of gods. |
| 1278 | * FollowInMyFootsteps: His father intended for him to take up a career in electrical engineering like he did. It didn't work -- he ended up clashing with local school authorities in his youth due to absolutely despising their strict, stagnant teachings. |
| 1279 | * HerrDoktor: He's based on UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein, for the most part. |
| 1280 | * JerkassRealization: Seeing the totality of existence and sapientkind's place in it caused him to realize his sexist attitudes were wrong and what he'd done to his first wife (cheating on and divorcing her) was horrible. As a result, he returned to her and made amends, being with her to her dying day. |
| 1281 | * StayInTheKitchen: Was mildly sexist back in the day, as Einstein was, though he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone came to regret it]] after his accident and transformation making him realize how precious everyone and everything is. |
| 1282 | * SpaceMaster: He was sucked into a singularity caused by a relativity experiment GoneHorriblyWrong, allowing him to witness the underpinnings of reality and encounter [[spoiler:the 'Architects']]. He returned having 'learned where all the shortcuts are' and gaining relativistic and spatial manipulation powers. |
| 1283 | * TheQuietOne: He was notably quiet as a young colt. This is justified, as he had difficulty learning how to speak at first. |
| 1284 | * TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: His time in the underpinning of reality exposed him to a lot of these. He didn't go insane, but others who attempted to copy the experiment that gave him his powers, if they survived, went irreversibly insane. |
| 1285 | * YoureInsane: Professor Noble Worker was mortified upon [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/829176999/4903068160 learning]] Ponyland's military had reverse-engineered the fateful relativistic experiment which altered his nature and the device he created for it, the 'Chronosphere', to develop various weapons-systems. He was ''[[FromBadToWorse even more]]'' mortified when he learnt that rather than seeing the '[[NegativeSpaceWedgie Chrono Rifts]]' occasionally created by the 'Chronosphere''s operation as a dangerous destructive side-effect that it is, Ponyland R&D groups was already working on how to control and even weaponize them. If nothing else, this shows why Prof. Noble Worker grew very afraid of the '[[RedBaron Lords of War]]' [[HumansAreWarriors Tellusian Ponykind]] became ( even if out of [[IDidWhatIHadToDo necessity]]) and became adamant in keeping them away from learning about both the nature of his powers and some of his more exotic research to avoid ''any'' chance of them being used for warfare. |

| 1295 | [[folder:Ultraios]] |
| 1296 | First mentioned in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4945226966 Drabble]], Ultraios is a superhero with similar super-powers as Metamare who, like her, came from another world and had decided to protect his adoptive homeworld from forces of evil who would try to conquer or destroy it. |
| 1297 | ---- |
| 1298 | * AliensAmongUs: Unlike Metamare, who is an '[[{{Ultraterrestrials}} Ultra-Tellusian]]', Ultrarios is an actual bonafide Extratellusian alien. |
| 1299 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]], one of Creator/MarvelComics' own SupermanSubstitute characters. |
| 1300 | * FlyingBrick: Is one like Metamare and just behind her in many of his powers. |
| 1301 | * FriendToAllChildren: Implied. He's a school teacher teaching ninth-grade as his civilian day job. |
| 1302 | * HumanAliens: Ultraios looks remarkably similar enough to Tellusian Ponies that he was able to fit in among them with a few disguises. |
| 1303 | * SecretIdentity: His civilian identity, Hayson Helios, is a ninth-grade school teacher by day and a political cartoonist at night. Ultraios is for situations where both roles are inadequate. |
| 1304 | * SupermanSubstitute: Metamare-substitute in his case, In-Universe, having similar origins and powers to her, the distinction being that he's actually closer to Superman in his backstory than Metamare. |
| 1305 | * KnightTemplar: Subverted. While willing to kill if absolutely necessary and being rougher than the average hero, he still takes pains to avoid collateral damage and protect innocent civilians, allow criminals and villains who can't fight him a chance to surrender peacefully, and never allow himself to become a WellIntentionedExtremist. |
| 1306 | * PoliticalCartoons: He's a political cartoonist who draws political satire as his civilian night job. |

| 1315 | Xiào Shēng (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Ponyland-Heroes-and-Villains-Part-22-877315938 here]]) is an Eastern Dragon who disguised herself as a pony and decided to become a superhero and clown. |
| 1316 | ---- |
| 1317 | * {{Archenemy}}: She got one in the form of Crimson Tiger, a Triad Dragonhead. |
| 1318 | * ArmorIsUseless: Subverted: the armor she gets helps protect her from high caliber bullets that can punch through her scales. |
| 1319 | * BloodFromTheMouth: She starts coughing up blood after Crimson Tiger shot her through the lung with a high-powered rifle. She fortunately survives. |
| 1320 | * BoringButPractical: She gains the upperhand on Crimson Tiger in their final battle not with her martial arts or dragon powers... but by squirting lemon juice in his eyes to blind him long enough to beat him down with a rush of offense. |
| 1321 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: She did this twice after [[CurbstompBattle harsh defeats]] against Crimson Tiger: |
| 1322 | ** After he nearly killed her with a high-powered rifle, she not only learns from Patch how to use full plate armor, but trains with Shadow Sentinel to maneuver and make herself harder to hit to avoid bullets, as well as become a more competent fighter. |
| 1323 | ** After losing badly against his weretiger form, which is ''stronger'' than her, she trains in Snake Kung Fu and other martial arts to apply her natural draconic strength and defending herself against opponents stronger than herself. |
| 1324 | * CurbstompBattle: |
| 1325 | ** Her first encounter with Crimson Tiger ended quickly and decisively when he shot her through the lung with a high-powered rifle, leading her writhing on the ground, coughing up blood. |
| 1326 | ** Her first encounter with Crimson Tiger in his [[OneWingedAngel Weretiger form]] ended with her brutalized and him breaking her back over his knee. |
| 1327 | ** [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/888225486/4936819093 Sprayor inflicted one on her]], effectively two-shotting her with [[SensoryOverload his horrific smelling spray.]] |
| 1328 | * ImmuneToBullets: {{Subverted}}: small arms can't pierce her scales, but high caliber rifles ''can''. She finds this out the hard way when Crimson Tiger nearly kills her with one. She started wearing armor and learning to make herself less easy to hit after this. |
| 1329 | * NonIronicClown: She's a clown genuinely devoted to entertaining and making others happy. This is also her theme as a superhero, and even as a thousands of years old Elder Dragoness, she still dresses up as a clown and entertains others. |
| 1330 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Xiào Shēng is an Eastern Ice Dragoness. On top of her much longer, serpentine body she also breathes ice. |
| 1331 | * TaughtByExperience: While she's been on the receiving end of a CurbstompBattle on several occasions, it's noted she always learns from the loss and is prepared for next time. |
