Lyra used to be a normal mare. She was just going to be a researcher of the magical leylines that crisscrossed the country of Equestria. But something went wrong. At the grand opening of the newest Sparkle Generator- it exploded and covered the city in a haze of pure and concentrated mana. Now she's one of the many new mutants that have risen from the magical shockwave and she's ready to help the city as the Handler.
And juggling her life of being the head researcher of the hypothetical fallout and needing to fight crime can be rather draining on a mare. Step one: find Twilight Sparkle. Step two: find a good place to hideout and build new technology.
Chapters (2)
This wouldnt be based off Generator Rex would it?

Never even seen the show but do have the Nintendo DS game, but no it more based on that picture in the cover art and the power ponies episode
I feel like there needs to be a better indication of when the flashback starts and when it ends.
Otherwise, this was pretty good.
Same problem as 7348373 , I didn't know it was a flashback until the part with Twilight. Otherwise good story!
Will this ever be continued?

It's more of how ponies see her. She takes the "worst" label and deals with it. Let's see how ponies reacted to her- Radiance said "I mean word on the street is that you're supposedly the absolute worst hero. Now I can't say for sure cause there's heroes like the Prankster and Magicmare who are positively dreadful at their je ne sais quoi. But you at least are something rather exciting even if you tend to cause more damage than the villains you fight." Bolded section says that she is supposedly the worst hero- supposedly in the sentence means that Radiance is running off an assumption but highly doubts it.
Now how would Lyra hide the fact that she's a genius and has better reflexes and senses at the expense of her sight? She's only mentioned a few villain fights in this chapter- Solar and Candymare.
I would see Solar as some amalgamation idea of The Human Torch- no not the original android version, but Johnny Storm, Sunflare, and Firestar. So tonally, she would have the powers of flight and fire creation in multiple levels but her powers would be limited to needing to power herself up with the sun- which originally was the way that Cyclops recharged his powers originally before they changed the explanation for his optic blasts in that Cyclops' eyes were portals to a concussive blast dimension.
Candymare would be a mix tonally between the Sandman- the Spiderman villain in how her body would react. She can manipulate sugars and is made from candy and Mister Bloom, the Scott Snyder villain from his Batman run. Interesting look and premise, and Carnage, the psychopathic serial killer. Now I wouldn't use the idea of AXIS Carnage in that he's an antihero or the last Carnage run from 2015 where he got eldritch god powers from a page in the Darkhold. That'd be ridiculous. So mix of Sandman, Carnage, and Mister Bloom.
But I hadn't even got to that point yet in the story to show that Radiance knows that the city's image of Lyra being the worst superhero is absolutely false. It's running with the Spiderman and J. Jonah Jameson feel where Lyra could actually save the city and the news says she's a menace due to how she'd much rather fight the big threats instead of small time crooks. More often than not, she'd rather try and calm down her villains if possible and hang out with them and treat them like normal ponies. It's almost like the Flash and how he treats his rogue's gallery.
I don't know where that idea that I don't read comic books. Maybe writing three years ago that Lyra was similar to Daredevil and Tony Stark was too much but Daredevil doesn't have superhuman strength or speed. Radar sense in the multiple ways it has been shown, increased senses of hearing, touch, smell, and all that jazz. But it's not like he's invulnerable. He's been shot by sniper rifles and almost died, he can be taken out by tasteless or odorless sources and he barely ekes out wins against the Purple Man by often trying to focus or mask the sound of Kilgrave's voice.
And Tony Stark's an absolute wonder in the comics but he's not the smartest character in Marvel. Moon Girl, Bruce Banner, and Mister Fantastic all seem to be smarter though the genius scale is pretty much meaningless when there's so many smart characters in Marvel. But hey at least in the few issues that Tony Stark joined the Guardians of the Galaxy a few years back, Rocket was at least appreciative of Earth based technology, though alien tech in Marvel comics tends to outstrip most anything Earth produces- it's a technological backwater in that regard. He can retrofit alien tech, but he doesn't build it from nothing.
And my favorite Marvel team is the X Men- particularly mutants like Dazzler and Kitty Pride. On DC's side of things, I tend to like Shazam (Captain Marvel) and Adam Strange so I know superheroes.
Sorry for the long reply and thanks.
