(Taged Alternative Universe due to taking place in the realm of The Power Ponies. For the sake of this fic at least, Power Ponies is a world and continuity seperate from FiM.)
A faithful accident has transformed what was once a simple, power hungry mare, into a so called maniac. But not just any maniac. No, this Mane-iac has her sights set on the one superhero, who's always believed that there is good inside her. And that superhero is none other than Hum Drum of The Power Ponies.
But when Hum Drum sees what has become of the mare he once knew, he is anything but pleased.
Unfortunately, Hum Drum is about to learn the hard way that there truly is nothing worse than the wrath of a heartbroken mare. Especially one with superpowers of her own.

Not a bad story.
I agree with you that they could have their own world and by now the IDW's 2014 annual is out, but I saw this and I thought it was cool.
Thanks for taking the time to write it.
5074058 Thank you.
5074074 No problem I also left an up vote too.
Out of curiosity, what HAD Hum Drum's powers been?
5074074 So I take that Hum Drum is a young colt ?
5108612 The ability to set things on fire with his mind.
5109615 He is as he appears in the IDW 2014 Annual.
5108612 The ability to set fires with his mind. This a reference to season 4 episode 26.
5116945 You mean episode 24, and no.
5117660 Oh, sorry. Telepathy?
5117751 Pretty much.
So, the Mane-iac used spray cans to take away superpowers?
... I'm sorry, but this is an obligatory picture:

The main villain used the same thing to get rid of Captain Underpants's superpowers, though he did get them back.
... Okay, we need Captain Underpants to fight the Mane-iac now. That'd be freaking awesome!
5201050 I can't believe I didn't realize that unintentional reference.

It's okay,
Read the annual online. It was very good.
Okay we have Ivy, who becomes Mane-i-ac...
So who is Lily?
This is a pretty interesting story. I am surprised that there aren't more Hum-Drum x Mane-iac stories honestly. But this is a unique idea, that she was a love interest to him before her transformation, and he rejected her once she became the Mane-iac. I guess that would make her a "woman scorned" which also paints her attitude towards him in the episode in a new light, especially since she was the one who made him powerless here.
