In a mirror universe, the superhero Mane-iac must find a way to reign in the violent fury of a new vigilante, before the streets of Maretropolis are turned into a warzone.
Another fine chapter by our Magnificent Machine, though i was surprised when ShadowBolt was revealed to be Thomas Jacobs and not Gary Straub since Gary was an Engineer.
Hmm Maniacal Maneiac mentioned seeing fur(or something like that) on the cell sample whenever it was dark. Does ShadowBolt possess some form of Lycanthropy?
8154239 Yeah, ... Tarb kinda set the precedent by giving Mane-iac a regular name, so, I try to throw in some pony where I can, given that normal human names are already established.
8199598 I wanted to make an effort to distance this story a bit from the Christmas Special, and set a different tone to help the reader understand Shadowbolt. Including Gigan would have made this a much different story, and complicated the plot. Plus, it makes room to feature more of Mane-iac herself.
I speculate Shadowbolt is weakened by light, based on the microscope exam.
I'm kinda confused by all the human names mixed with pony names, but I can live with it.

8154986 Your first speculation: Just wait and see.
Your second: I used fur as an example, to say that there's some strange reactive texture over his cells.
8155030 I remember once thinking the concept of a tall, dark, and fearsome vigilante named Gary(before i met you).
8158358 thanks for the heads up. Should be fine now.

But he'll be back.
