Rainbow Dash has decided to use her newfound powers for good, becoming the hero Supermare. However, there are still issues to deal with, ponies to save, and villains to face off against. All of this is a daily aspect to being the Mare of Steel.

This is a collection of side stories to Mare of Steel; I recomend reading that first before reading these
character tags will be added when needed

So... are you working towards a: "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" (Spider-Man) or "Even With All My Powers, I Couldn't Save Him" (Superman)? :raritywink:

1444189 Not sure at this point :twilightsheepish:

I think you should go in the direction of a: "I'm So Awesome I Burn Things By Glaring At Them" (Rainbow Dash). :rainbowdetermined2:

"Even with all my powers, I couldn't save him. -- Clark Kent, Superman. Some things just echo, don't they? :raritywink: That aside, this was a nice bonding moment.

Jor-El has inadvertently exposed Rainbow to some of the failures of her own life. In many ways, she's always done what was expected of her out of the loyalty that's such a key aspect of her personality. She very rarely thinks "What do I want?" on the larger foci of her life. Oddly enough, of all of the Mane 6, it is Pinkie Pie, Rarity and, of call people, Fluttershy who are examples of being what you want to be rather than what others want you to be. Applejack doesn't really count because, even though she decided her path, her love of her home and family made her decide to put aside her own ambitions and instead do her duty to others.

"Mom... I'm Supermare!"

"And...?"

Of course she knows! :rainbowlaugh:

Only in comic-book land could flash-freezing be easy to reverse and essentially harmless! :pinkiehappy::rainbowderp::fluttershbad:

Hey did you know you can buy frozen butterflies for weddings?
Yeah you let em thaw out and when the groom kisses the bride they get released
Its pret- uhhh Cool yeah cool

1857225 I see what you did there :trollestia:

Mom Lady huh? I SMELL CALVIN AND HOBBES REFERENCES!

Dang I wish this had stayed. Oh well...

“Trottingham.” Rainbow turned and saw Firefly walking out of a nearby room, the older mare having tucked a small folder beneath one wing. “Some big businesspony, Mane or something, needed some entertainment, and he hired Spitfire and the others to perform.”

Mane, huh?

I'M BATPONY

Cadance is from Themiscyra? Works for me.

In my mind "Wondermare" is an Earth Pony, but since she's of Godly origin, an Alicorn makes sense.

The one I'm really hoping to see is Captain Marvel. I know he's called Shazam now, but I don't care, he's Captain Marvel.

O.o I think we've just opened the door to something of pure awesome.


And on one little nitpick, I suggest you double space so that it's a little easier to read, since when you don't it tends to look like a wall of text.

Excellent (does that evil finger drumming pyramid thing.)

Nice, am I'm guessing Cadence is with foal:rainbowhuh: that would be interesting:eeyup:

cadence Pregnanat? :pinkiegasp:
Will it be an Alicorn?
Or a unicorn?
Pegasus?

"One last question, if I may?

"Yes, your Highness?"

"Mare-do-Well. Is she... trustworthy? What I mean is can she be trusted to not to take the law into her own hands?"

"Her journey was a lot harder than anypony else's, ma'am. She made bad choices and suffered for it; she had to learn to trust herself before she could really do anything to help anypony else. If you're worried... She is her own harshest critic and most fearful watcher. I don't think that she'll ever let herself do wrong."

"And if you're wrong about that?"

"Then she's probably got six plans in place already to stop her from doing too much harm."

I like where this is going.

1868943 It actually started off as a one shot line, but here i was able to expand it a bit

1987860 Awesome!

BTW if you make Bruce Mane Batpony, I will officially call you awesome.

Thought against it? Then why did you put it up?

2358855 oh..... That makes sense

Now if you know me well enough you'd know I post random songs, take this one for example :rainbowkiss:
[youtube=iV2xoz1iF0s]

But wait, now there isn't any water...

2359306 She only drank the contaminated water

Ah! The nostalgic memories of the hyper-dire and so-camp-it's good "Super-Friends"!

1956348
Well, we already know "Diana" (or rather "Diane") is an Earth Pony name, so...:raritywink:

Despite my previous debate in your other story, I can't help but wonder if "Diana" has anything to do with our earth pony friend "Diane"...
...although that would be absolutely ridiculous, even if it does make more sense than growing up on a rock farm...
...and now I'm imagining Pinkie running around in a wonder woman outfit, while Applejack and Rarity (also in wonder woman outfits, for reasons you should already know) face hoof at her antics.

Don't thank me, thank Haystess Fruit Pies! :pinkiehappy:

2408348 I forgot about those! :facehoof: Well, once I get around to Batpony, those might show up

1868928 WHAT! This thing has a Calvin and Hobbes reference! TO READING RIGHT AWAY!!!!!

HOLY CRAP! It does have a Calvin and Hobbes reference! My life is complete! Except for the rest of my life.

Next time, she finally meets Batmare? Thank goodness.

And thank God Red and Blue Supermare ended right there. Weird...

Why do I want more of Red Dash and Blue Dash?

I must love stupid cheesy stuff like that.

Pretty good, does this mean we may eventually have a chapter where Rainbow can fire a miniature version of herself out of a rainbow from her hoof? Also, at one point you wrote "Tricie" instead of "Trixie". Still, awesome fanfic.

I seem to remember a Silver Age (1960s) Superman comic that used this basic concept, although it's fairly common in sci-fi; there was a classic Star Trek that used the idea too. It's nice how we see the balance between thought and emotion is needed to be effective and how Rainbow was able to use her derivations' faults against them.

2590477 Who knows; they might come back in a later story (that probability might rise as I start expanding the Justice League of Equestria and require more antagonistic types for them to deal with)

2590431 Have some more news: the next chapter is a two parter

In Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster original of Superman, Jor El didn't exist. Jor El came later.

why im a reminded of jack spicer from shoulen showdown?

1446668
I agree! :rainbowdetermined2:
