Prologue
It was a cold and rainy night on the top of the rooftops of Maretropolis as the Power Ponies and Hum Drum II watched the president and many other politicians sign the new Anti-Superhero Act, a law banning all superheroes and villains.
“This is stupid, we should just jump in there and stop them!” yelled Zapp in frustration, not wanting the bill to be passed.
“Believe me ah want to as well, but we can’t. We promised we would not intervene,” said Mistress Mare-velous, trying to remind her friend of their deal.
“All because some super stallion in a red and blue outfit destroyed half of a city in a big fight,” said the young adult dragon with wings known as Hum Drum II. “Why do we have to quit being heroes? It’s not like that fight was our fault.”
“Yes that wasn’t, but this is,” said the Illusion, a blue coated unicorn mare with a wand and moon as her cutie mark wearing a purple cape and blue star patterned boot’s magicians outfit, in a somber tone. “If it wasn’t for our recklessness none of this would have happened, and maybe the first Hum Drum would still be with us.” Illusion turned to give the new Hum Drum a hateful look. It had only been four years but the pain of the original Hum Drums death still lingered in the ponies.
“I'm sorry,” whispered the dragon. Even though he had been the new Hum Drum for a short time, he could tell that Illusion did not care for him.
“You have nothing to be sorry for darling, you did not do a thing wrong. Illusion still holds herself responsible for Hum Drum,” said Radiance as she tried to comfort the drake.
“Yeah, she shouldn’t blame herself for his passing,” said Saddle Ranger timidly. Illusion quickly turned her head to give Saddle Ranger a hateful look that started to scare her.
“Passing?! Passing is for those who died happy. Who died surrounded by those they love. He was butchered!” yelled Illusion. “Hum Drum was killed like some type of animal by an animal. And because of his death they started to watch us all.” Illusions words were like poison to the other heroes as they remembered the day of their young comrades’ death.
It was almost five years ago since Hum Drum had been captured by the evil Mane-iac. The Mane-iac had captured him in hopes of gaining information on the Power Ponies, but when he refused to tell her anything she began to torture him. After several days of searching for the young colt, the Power Ponies eventually found him being held in an old warehouse on the outskirts of Maretropolis. The Ponies launched a full scale assault on the warehouse only to find the beaten body of Hum Drum lying dead with a crowbar next to him. Illusion was the one who quickly found Mane-iac and in a fit of rage almost killed her, nearly destroying an entire city block causing thousands of bits in property damage and hospitalizing several civilians.
“This is what we get after all we have done for them. We get banned from using the powers gifted to us,” said Illusion as she turned her attention back to the politicians below
“They're just scared of us, Illusion,” said the Masked Matter-Horn, trying to calm her friend down.
“Yeah, I bet if I was them and I saw a powerful pony throw another pony through three buildings, and another level an entire city block I would be pretty scared too,” remarked Fili-Second as she imitated the acts.
“You’re not helping,” said Mistress Mare-velous.
“I have a question for them!” said Zapp as she flew over the others. “Do they really think the supervillains will obey this law?”
“No, they will look to us to put them in prison and then ask us to quit,” answered Illusion in a hateful tone.
“Well, there is nothing we can do about it now,” said Hum Drum II as he pointed to politicians below, who had just finished signing the new law.
“So that's it… we're done being superheroes?” asked Saddle Ranger cautiously.
“Yes dear it does,” answered Radiance. The ponies and dragon stood in silence as the reality of the situation sank in.
“Now what do we do?” asked Hum Drum II in fear.
“We retire,” answered Masked Matter-Horn as she took off her mask. The others slowly started to do the same, except for Illusion who watched as the politicians celebrated from the skylight. “Illusion, you know we have to.”
“No, you do, but I don’t,” answered Illusion. “If they won’t see that they are making a mistake then I say we show them!” Illusion’s horn started to glow it magenta color as she prepared to jump into the middle of the celebration. As she jumped, Mistress-Mare-velous quickly used her lasso to stop her, catching her in mid-air and throwing her against an adjoined building.
“What were you thinking?!” yelled Masked Matter-Horn.
“I was going to show them the error of their ways,” answered Illusion as she struggled to free herself.
“By doing exactly what they want us to do?!” asked Radiance as she prepared to conjured a cell around Illusion.
"Yes….No…..I don’t know!”
“Listen I know you didn’t want the law to passed, but it did and we have to except it,” said Masked Matter-Horn as she helped Illusion out of her bindings.
“No! The rest of you can sit here and quite, but I won’t,” said Illusion as she walked to the edge of the rooftop.
“Where are you going?” asked Fili-Second as she galloped beside of her, but Illusion did not answer her. She just stared at the street below.
“Nepo latrop ot saL susageP,” said Illusion as she cast a spell to open a portal to Las Pegasus. As Illusion stepped into the portal, she took one last look at her former teammates and tore off her cape. “Do not follow me.”
“Quick stop her!” yelled Zapp as she flew towards Illusion, but as soon as she reached her the portal closed, leaving all of them dumbstruck.
“Now what do we do?” asked Saddle Ranger as she picked Illusion’s cape.
“Do we continue with the plan?” answered Mistress Mare-velous looking at Matter-Horn with a concern look on her face. The others started to share the same look of concern as Matter-Horn looked at the last place Illusion stood. She eventually gave them the answer they were waiting for.
“Yes, from this point on the Power Ponies are no more,” answered Matter-Horn.

Let me think; Power Ponies, Super Registration Act, government conspiracy, old ally, high-tech facility gone wrong. Was this inspired by the Incredibles and X-Men?
Both. X-men were my favorite Superhero team when I was a kid.
5152948 Thought so. But are you really planning to give Starburst Venom's powers? Wouldn't it make more sense if she had Wolverine's (without the claws) or Spider-Man? And Starfall having Deadpool's powers makes total sense, but Prism having a suit like Iron Man's is just ... I'm not even gonna say it.
5153005 star is based off agent venom a military based venom who is also a hero and prisim was made into a falcon iron man fusion for his great flying abilities (like falcon) and show off attitude (like iron man)
5153005 also star is too smart to be spiderman
5153068 I think you meant that 'Star is too serious to be Spider-Man'. Spidy is basically a genius.
5153257 oh yes in the fields of science peter parker is a freaking genius but in most times he has moments were he's an idiot point in case the 90% of the clone saga but yeah your right too star is too serious to be spiderman
Okay, this is going to be interesting. Still, I'm surprised Spike let himself be named Hum Drum. And are you going to go into how he joined the team?
Sounds like this is going to be a fun story. Can't wait to see how it goes. Also..... Marvel beats DC
5154205 Agreed especially with the god awful new 52
5153851 Yes, but it will be later in the story.
So... who was the original Hum Drum (or does it matter?)
5152948 5152936
Personally, I felt the X-men brought the hate they received upon themselves. I mean they have 2 major problems: First, they separated themselves from humanity by calling themselves 'mutants' (and the less said about the choice on the name mutants, the better.); and Second, they only handled matters concerning mutants. Unlike the Avengers, Spiderman, or even the Fantastic Four do things for the general populace (sometimes they catch flak for it, but they are mostly seen as heroes).
5155614 hes the orginal pony humdrum from this years annual. Also I agree with you on the x-men except you forgot one other criticism about them, the team is mostly made up of unlikable assholes especially their team leader cyclops
5155633 I don't know. 'Unlikable assholes' seems a bit strong. Not incorrect necessarily, just harsh. (And to be fair to Cyclops, if you had beams constantly shooting out of your eyes to the point you have to constantly worry about killing someone, you'd be a bit tense too)
5155650 2 words "the goblin queen", and there are some nice characters in x-men like angel night crawler (when not being an annoying bible quote spouting idoit) plus I think the real reason they wont let deadpool join the team (besides the x-force team) is not because hes crazy its because he has likable personality
5155691 I think it has more to do with the fact he is an absolutely moral-less murder who kills for kicks and giggles (and money! Can't forget about money!) I know they keep Wolverine on the team, but at least he had some scruples. (If Deadpool has any, they most likely belonged to somebody else)
5155705 actually deadpool has one moral he holds on too with a iron grip. He would never harm a child not even if its a reincarnation of apocalypse he will not kill a child or let anyone harm a child
5155723 Except in 'Hulk vs. Wolverine' where he was part of 'Weapon X' program along with Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike, and Wolverine and shot babies while they were floating downriver because they "freaked him out."
5155831 that was ooc moment for him in that movie along with the entire final act of wolverine orgins
5155857 To be in 'Wolverine Origins', he did have his mouth sewn shut and was controlled by a computer, so...yeah definite OoC moment there.
I know this is off an X-Men comic, but I keep thinking The Incredibles or Spy Kids.
5156191 It's an Incredibles crossover, The X-men thing is only for the characters.
Apparently I'm the first to say... nice reference to both the graphic novel of and movie of Batman under the red hood woth Joker beating up and killing Jason Todd. How did no one else get that reference?
5154205 also DC beats Marvel. Why? Batman. Nuff said
Quick question: will brief Flutterhulk be expected in the future?
5157596 actually it was meant to be a Half Life reference, but it is a comic book story so why not. And yes Flutterhulk will be seen in the furture.
5157611 yesss
5157583 you say batman. I can see that. However batman would easily lose in a fight to Spider-Man. Bats stealth and martial arts skills can hold up to other marvel heros but not spidey cuz spidey can see exactly what he is going to do before he does it. Yes bats may be able to beat some marvel heros but in the long run, nope. Also hulk smash
5158209 yeah i have to agree with you but unless given enough prepare time batman well most likely get his ass handed to him by characters like iron man agent venom (who had defeated captain America once) hulk and ultron
5158209 Batman would beat the crap out of Spider-Man. I'd go into it more but coments are for this story. Not debates. That's what forums are for
5159166 of course your right. Besides why are we arguing about this personally I like marvel but both marvel and DC are jus awesome. Let's leave it at that.
5159515 good call
So you could say:
5161613 yeah except most them are happy in their careers
This seems like its going to be a really good story. I'm excited to see the rest! Also, hate to be that one guy, but "Neop" is bugging me
It should be "Nepo". Here's hoping there's more updates soon! 
5165115 Thanks for pointing it out, its fixed now. I am now working on chapter two as we speak.
no action at all .i must say i expected more
5176476 The prologue was there to set up the backstory. There was not going to be much action in the prologue anyway.
5177207 oki doki
When is next chapter?
5235997 Still in the works. It's taking me longer than I thought to write it.
5235997 its almost done don't worry
A correction. "we have to accept it", not "we have to except it"
Oh damn!
Hum drum was found Beaten to death with a crowbar...
Are you implying that he got the Jason Todd special?
