This story is a sequel to Spiders and Magic: Edge of Time
inspired by the Spiders and Magic series started by Maximus_Reborn
A few months have passed since the Spiders foiled Walker Sloan's plan to rule Earth and Equestria, and all was calm. Miguel, Kaine, Ben and Eddie have decided to live in Equestria until they find a way back to Earth.
But once again, the peace is ruined by the arrival of a new group of villains, not from Peter's world, but from another: The Legion of Doom, led by Lex Luthor.
With villains on the rise and Equestria victimized, Spider-Mane must reunite with some old friends: Wolverine and Batman, who managed to escape, and save the heroes under mind control. But there is one question on everyone's minds.
Where is Superman?
Uh oh... First chapter already and the bad guys have shown up! And it looks like Sunset is starting to get the hots for a certain futuristic wall crawler...
first half:
first off, nice reference to the first "Avengers" film; secondly:
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M613faa4f6117eec6b67840ea9a22541ao0&w=300&h=168&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
okay, the rest of the guys I get, but why, oh WHY did Luthor think this was going to end well? okay, yeah: Joker rarely lets these things happen without him, but seriously:
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mbe305f123d9b282a618c7260d13aa0e0H1&w=300&h=168&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
...does THAT look like someone you can trust!?
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Me784718b48aeb1c67e49b59a81fb5654o0&w=281&h=299&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
"I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice..."
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M827ae076b77ab788a1b59e3cc7b9b427o0&w=300&h=187&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
"I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I AM BATMAN!"
second half:
Miguel = seems to be adapting well, all things considered...
Sunset = seems to handle the "new normal" with her usual charms...
Miguel and Sunset = oh, would you two just kiss already!?
Peter = you know, for a genius, you're kind of an idiot...
Kaine = wow: are we SURE he's Peter's clone?
Eddie = would you like some cheese with your whine?
Ben Rielly = ...this guy's best friends with Pinkie Pie: I think we're in trouble...
also:
on one hand, nice reference to the first "Equestria Girls" movie; on the other, we've been over this, you two: it's Pinkie Pie; don't question it
Well, sequel time already, huh? Let's give this a look!
And Miguel and Sunset showing some form of attraction towards each other? I wonder how this relationship will unfold?
7540854 Equestria's not ready for the Legion of Doom! And the shipping has begun...
7541295 I like to imagine Joker being on the legion going one of two ways. Either Lex recruited Joker in hopes of ensuring he won't become a nuisance later on, or Joker forced himself on the team and they decided to go with it. And Hawkeye and Black Widow will do something later on.
7542727 I had the first three chapters written for a while now actually. Also, it's more like Sunset has an attraction to O'Hara, while Miguel is oblivious to it hence him asking Peter about it.
And I remember those Marvel/DC videos. Now I feel the urge to watch them.
The description asking the question "where is superman?" does sound interesting. But he better not turn evil or something. I hate that. It's been overdone.
7543004
agreed, but knowing Discord and company, he's probably trapped somewhere so he can't interfere or something; side note, I can see this happening even if he WAS turned evil...
7542884
...yeah: I can see that happening...
Ouch! That's gonna hurt for Pete! He's lucky Wolverine and Batman got there before things got worse...
well then...at least we know why Lyra is so interested in humans...
if Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, a master assassin whose brain processes information nine times faster then the ordinary man, wasn't able to use ordinary guns, how the are Leonard Snart/Captain Cold and Mick Rory/Heat Wave able to use specialized weapons!?
(yeah, I used a Flutterswear: deal with it)I'm calling it: Pinkie Pie is NOT going to like this guy...
no, Batman isn't a telepath: my guess is that you two are just of similar mindsets...which in itself is scary on so many levels...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Bruce is a Pegasus here...
um, Luthor's armor has lasers, sure, but Iron Man is the one with the repulsor technology...then again, I suppose they COULD have traded notes if Tony Stark was under mind control...
Oh, come on: that's what I said last chapter!!!
Logan is an Earth Pony: it's not likely he'd be anything else...
so all the heroes AND villains have the same abilities they had on their respective worlds... so...awesome...
I agree: Deathstroke is no Captain America...
besides, Mr. Wayne probably got a tracker on them at some point; I mean it wouldn't be the first time it happened:
I think you may have forgotten the question mark there...
I KNEW IT!!!
7543289 Alright that makes sense. But I swear if he uses other strong characters such as Flash, Green Lantern or Martian Manhunter then he has no excuse not to include superman into it as well.
7544218 okay, 1) I can see Green Lantern (whether he's Hal Jordon, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, or even Guy Gardner) having too strong of a will to be properly controlled thus making it so that HE would need to be locked up; 2) yeah, something tells me that Discord KNOWS what an evil Superman is capable of (being the god of Chaos and all):
mind control or no, would YOU want to take any chances?
7544312 Still lets not pretend that Marvel doesn't have any heavy hitters of their own that are just as powerful if not MORE so. I mean come on. Thor? Hulk? Silver Surfer? Sentry? (he's basically marvels superman for petes sake and he's the crazy one) Doctor Strange? Need I go on? I'm just saying that if a SINGLE one of these characters end up showing up then that takes away any right to not allow other characters who just so happen to be on the same level.
7544312
7544506
Alright, I think I should explain Superman's temporary absence. The in-universe explanation is that Lex tried to put him under mind control, it didn't work, and caught him off guard and trapped him out of spite. (There will be a better explanation in-story). I say temporary because he won't be trapped until the final battle, that much is certain.
Involving the other heavy-hitters from both worlds though... I will say Shazam and Flash will appear in Equestria, as well as Thor and Hulk. But Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter are still on their Earth searching for Superman. Silver Surfer and the Sentry won't appear in this story, and Doctor Strange will be the one to summon any necessary heroes to Equestria, meaning that he'll have to stay on his Earth.
I hope this clears some things up.
7544554 Thanks for clearing that up. So Your calling him Shazam in this story instead of Captain Marvel?

Just when the Legion of Doom have Spidey finished, Batman and Wolverine come in at the last minute to save the web-head and force the Legion to retreat. Now they are off back to Ponyville to bring the others up to speed on what's going on.
Hah! Batman actually cracked a joke!
okay, first off, in everyone's defense, this is the first time they've encountered each other's Equestrian forms; secondly:
also, "by any chance?"
okay, 1) that sounds creepy on so many levels; 2) was that the Dark Knight's natural skill or does he have Detective Vision?
...is it bad that I squealed a little here?
oh, that's right: if I'm following the chronology of this story's prequel correctly, Logan hasn't met the kid yet...
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mf88641f84e0162ff8c234f31e68359c5o0&w=300&h=240&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
...nicely done...
ah, good old Sorcerer Supreme
Just kiss already!!!
ouch
FINALLY someone gets it...
HA!!
normally, I'd be pointing out that NOBODY can resist the Batglare, but I don't think this sentence is accurate: something like "the pegasus GULPING upon seeing" might flow a bit better...
Dr. Fate is working with Dr. Strange...pinch me: I must be dreaming...
to be fair, I understand where Kaine's coming from...
on one hand, I'm glad that I was right about Batman tracking them; on the other, (pardon my French)
damnyou, Discord!!I find it weird that Batman is going about during the day instead of the night, even going out in public. Though given the current situation and circumstances, I guess he would have to make an exception
Gee, you don't say. As if we already have enough characters popping up and crowding in the story.
7544613 He's going to be referred to as Captain Marvel, I said Shazam out of habit and to distinguish him from the Marvel character (who won't be appearing).
7545269 Equestria's already affecting Batman's mind!
7545413 To be frank, I got a little hype writing 'I'm Batman'. It's such a cool phrase.
The tension between O'Hara and Sunset is getting thicker.
7545561 To be fair, Batman, Wolverine and the Spiders are staying in Equestria for sure. A few others may join them during the war, but at best they'll be cameos whether they meet the team or not (some may stick around though). I'm doing my best to keep the story from getting too crowded despite working with the Marvel and DC universes.
Uh oh... Punisher is getting involved...
first third:
whoa: this is getting intense; also:
somehow, I just KNEW this would come up eventually...
second third:
...so how long until we see them (and/or the other villains) at each others throats? either way, it seems that the Legion is DOOMED...
don't give me that look: you know you were thinking it...final third:
...interesting line-up; also:
"I have a score to settle with that clown"? ...I almost feel sorry for Joker...ALMOST...
The Punisher? Oh boy, things are going to get escalated pretty quickly. And it looks like you're basing Quicksilver off the movie version from the X-Men films.
Indeed, and very much worse than Goblin himself. The Joker is someone you should never take lightly. He is pretty much the definition of insanity and chaos. He has killed many innocent people, not them mention he is responsible for killing Jason Todd (the second Robin before his death and return as Red Hood), paralysing Barbra Gordon by shooting her in the spine (ending her career as Batgirl until the New 52 reboot) and being insane as well as smart and strategic, it makes him unpredictable even for superhumans.
7546340
...for the story or on a permanent basis? because if it's supposed to be the latter, I have to say that this seems a bit out of character for them; I mean, I highly doubt that Wolverine would leave Laura/X-23 to her lonesome or that Batman would allow himself to leave Gotham unprotected, as even without the Joker, there's still the matter of Riddler, Two-Face, and Penguin, and that's not even getting into the matter of the X-men and/or Bat Clan...
7546708 Nothing good comes when the Punisher decides to join in on the heroes' business. He's gonna clash with the other heroes and ponies when he arrives.
7547263 Personally, X-Men film Quicksilver is my favorite version of the character. If you've seen the last two movies, you know what happens when he steals the scene, and it's gonna happen here (with a twist of course).
7547407 Batman and Wolverine will leave once everything's clear. They just consider the Legion of Doom a bigger priority right now. That, and they have too much to leave behind like you said.
Hoo boy, just one look and Punisher and Batman go head to head! I've read the Batman/Punisher Crossovers, the first one, the guy that took over for Batman had freaking claws on the suit when the two tangoed!
part one:
wow: you could cut the tension with a knife...
part two:
okay, first off, interesting balance between humor and seriousness; secondly, something tells me that we'll be seeing a LOT of ponies/people butting heads; also, what is it with superheroes and dead relatives?
part three:
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.M653783d7929bc8c29a4ee119e1e86f21H0&w=300&h=300&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
final part:
this sounds familiar...wait:
...oh, this can only end so well...
ow: right in the feels...
7550624 I forgot AzBats met Punisher. I'm surprised the two even fought considering they're both lethal.
7550659 That video pretty much sums up every instance of a hero fighting another hero.
7550889 Thanks. I felt the last story was too goofy, so with the other heroes there could be tension among everyone. But it'll still be a pretty light-hearted story. And be prepared for Quicksilver's fight. Two speedsters equals pure chaos.
7553728
(after watching the video in question) ...true enough, especially in light of more recent films...
knowing Discord, he's going to want a front row seat...
The first strike has begun... but will the heroes win? We'll have to see...
part 1:
the pranks, they are a-coming...
part 2:
I can't decide; which works better; this:
...or this:
(because Bullseye is Daredevil's foe)part 3:
I couldn't decide which theme music to use, so I used both:
part 4:
nicely done handling the battle so far, but something seems to be missing; oh wait: I know:
Next time! The Flash vs Quicksilver! Battle of the speed demons!
7554033 With a random assortment of opponents like this, plus robots, it'll be draining that's for sure.
7554896 1) Should I ever go through with a slice-of-life styled follow up, there will definitely be an Ant-Man, Quicksilver, Rainbow, Pinkie prank chapter. It's too good to pass up.
2) Honestly, the Batman theme fits more. We can save Bring me to Life for when Daredevil shows up. Though they are good choices.
3) Both are good themes for the character I can say that much.
4) I knew I had to put Flash and Green Arrow together. I love both of their shows, and their themes do their characters justice.
7555229 Just wait until you see what happens after they fight! Let's just say that sweet dreams are made of these and leave it at that...
Hmm... so knocking them out stops the mind control.... interesting....
So Quicksilver beat Flash, huh. Well to be fair, Rainbow Dash did help. Had this been just one on one, Flash would've been the likely winner.
part 1:
ah, you got to love the old rivalry between Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen...
part 2:
for some reason, I'm reminded of this:
part 3:
this seems familiar...wait:
...well, at least we know what's at stake...
at WOODEN stake...lh5.googleusercontent.com/-yAQ6v4I8Qsg/TX5W70AjjVI/AAAAAAAAAZw/Y0KMkytYLOI/s1600/pie_in_the_face.png
...I deserved that...part 4:
oh boy: is this going where I THINK it's going?
ooh, this won't be pretty...
also, there's only ONE way that the presence of three speedsters could be made any more awesome...a scene like THIS:
7557059
...I feel like that should have had a spoiler warning...
...you ever get the feeling that you just saw a reference but can't remember where it comes from? yeah...feeling something like that right now...
7557271 Loki never had time to fix the flaws.
7557707 It was both Rainbow Dash helping, and the matter of the Flash not being at his best since he was under mind control.
7557990 Yeah... I put a spoiler on the name. Sorry.
But where do you think Flash's comment is leading to out of curiosity? And I'm still trying to figure out who keeps throwing those pies. The puns aren't that bad!
Oh and about that little speedster idea... See the next chapter... I may have planned this for a long while
7558934
allow me to give you a hint:

Ya'll just HAD to ask, didn't ya?
Hah, nice reference to the "Days of Future Past" movie!
part 1:
nice battle so far, but what is it with evil geniuses and robots?
part 2:
this is going to be one DARK KNIGHT...
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mceb170afdec186ccc6ae9e5665029d31H0&w=264&h=251&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
...should've seen that coming...part 3:
first off, nice job leaving some of the heroes as more-or-less one shot characters, since I doubt we'll need them for EVERY battle; secondly, I need to get a couple of jokes out of the way:
1) Flash, Quicksilver, and Rainbow Dash...this will be over fast...
shut up: you know you were thinking it...2) so the god of Mischief is (secretly) teamed up with the god of Chaos...
7559699 Thanks. This scene was planned for a long while now and was fun to write!
7560193 1) I dunno. Maybe they sign some contract?
2) I thought Joker stopped doing that!
3) Thanks, while some are staying, a lot of them are leaving unless for an appearance later on. I have a few more characters planned to stay throughout the story, one of which will be appearing next time. He's a character that will cause pure mayhem, but is very misguided.
7562480
you know, I wouldn't mind the "lawyers are evil" jokes, intentional or otherwise, so much if it wasn't for the fact that I have one in my immediate family...
I agree with Spike here: the implications are terrifying...
Oh boy! Here comes the Merc with the Mouth!
why am I not surprised?
I kind of have to agree with Zecora here: there seemed to be no end to those robots...
...I'm not even going to touch this one...

I had trouble finding a gif/video clip that had the full phrase that WOULDN'T potentially scar someone for life, okay?something tells me we might be seeing a race later on...
first off, I KNEW the rivalry was going to show up at some point; secondly, not all heroes wear masks, Spike...
okay, on one hand, I've got mixed feelings about the possibility of Johnny Blaze showing up: I mean, it'd probably be awesome and downright disturbing at the same time; on the other, Batman has a point: on top of extortion, theft, several counts of murder, and a few other things that escape me at the moment, when nobody was looking he took forty cakes; he took FORTY CAKES: that's as many as four tens, and that's terrible...
yeah: I know, but it actually DID happen:

Heh: what a bunch of...
orig10.deviantart.net/e334/f/2013/204/b/7/angry_octavia_by_hesh4500-d6ev0ow.png
NO!! Everypony and everyBODY's already made that joke!

You're right: too obvious...
Iceman and the Human Torch...

I don't know if this means that he's locked up somewhere (likely under some sort of sedative), or if he's supposed to be under mind control; either way, I'm scared...
hmm, that COULD work, so long as nobody would recognize...
tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mb5952d2b90601f9c096fba71cf76ef51H0&w=300&h=187&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
...they just NEVER learn, do they?
oh yeah: he has those inner voices...
we're doomed...
Oh throne no! Not Deadpool!
7563242 "The anti-hero for hire! The mask for your task! The guy who won't die! Deadpool!"
Peter: Is there a mute button for him?
7563676 That sin will lead Lex into some serious punishment from Ghost Rider. That is the definition of evil.
Oh, and Hulk is also under mind control like a few others. And involving the Fear Toxin, let's say that the effects will be noticed, but felt.
7563910 They really want the heroes to go insane.
part 1:
the fourth wall's going to need some renovation after this...
part 2:
do...do you realize what this means? there are TWO PINIKE PIES!!!
...then again, maybe it won't be so bad: I mean, we've had something like this before...

part 3:
this can only end so well...
part 4:
hold on a sec: this seems to be missing something; oh wait, I know:
img.ifcdn.com/images/ae1d4a3356da216ca7d9388fcc52f0b9a7e53c90091c662c260cdee18b16edb6_3.jpg
"Why that little punk!"
That's a little bland. Shouldn't Peter be acting a little shocked, realising that something's wrong with him and say something like "I...I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that. The only time I ever done something like that was when I still wore the black suit. And that *remembers Nightmare Spider*...other time."
Oh bugger... The fear gas is loose!
7564388 1) The fourth wall has been shattered. There's no repairing it from here.
2) Better than a group of Deadpools.
Oh wait.. Deadpool Corps.Nevermind. I'd rather take the bunch of Pinkies.3) Yeah, we'll see how Spidey reacts.
4) Equestria shall know of Star-Lord's Awesome Mix!
7564435 Yeah, I admit I could've written that scene better, but Peter will dwell on it. It's more like he's pretending there's nothing wrong despite the obvious signs of him being the opposite.
7564462 All we're missing is the giant Scarecrow and Spidey to run in a platformer.
