Its been years since Rainbow Dash was declined acceptance into the Wonderbolts. She found a new passion. Making weapons to defend Equestria from outlying countries. Showing the world how brilliant she really is.
To even the odds, a mysterious pony is sent to capture her and hold her as a possible way to conquer the large country. Only after arriving home does she realize that Sparkle Industries has gone under and she has to claim it as her own company. Who would have thought that buying a company you work for and trying to save lives you put in danger could be so hard?
Based on the 2008 'Iron Man' movie.
Now with pre-reader/ editor Jarkes
Chapters (15)
This Is Serious Shit Please Keep Going
1632717 Shining Armor comes in in the next chapter, where you basically get to see all of the roles that you don't know yet.
1633877 It's going to be different characters for different roles and I'm adding in a few twists. But you will see a lot of similarities to the movie. This is the work of a nerd, afterall.
I wonder if this will go to an avenger story?
1634730 Once I get the others done.
1652325 Not to use it as an excuse, but my keyboard sucks. That is part of the reason for it. And thank you for pointing those out.
EDIT: New keyboard. My typing sucks. And If you're up to the challenge, Would you mind terribly being my editor?

Funny. I'm working on a DC crossover series, starting with Supes and leading up to Green Lantern.
1667986
That is funny.
1668012
That being said, I'll be using side characters as the heroes, rather than the Mane 6.
The line up of stories and their protagonists is:
More Than a Stallion- Big Mac
Faster Than a Speeding Bullet- Gilda
Legend of the Lost Empire: Atlandais- Lyra
To End On a Dark Note- Octavia, Vinyl
The Strength of Will- Shining Armor, Chrysalis
All of which will lead up to JLE: Truth and Justice
1668061 Sounds interesting. I may have to check it out.
1668095
It'll be up sometime soon. I submitted it this morning.
What's you lineup for the Avengers?
I don't know, I don't think Rainbow Dash is that smart.
I have to agree. Would it not be more fitting for Twlight Sparkle, the intelligent and brilliant one, to be Iron Mare? and Rainbow Dash, with her boldness, loyalty, and even colours, be more fitting as Captain Equestria?
1933688Twilight may have the brilliance already, but she doesn't have the overall personality of Tony Stark. Captain America is much more cool-headed and thinks things through more, developing a plan of attack. Iron Man just goes in and attacks. I'm using the modern character bases to build something. If you would like to read one that has Twilight as Iron Mare, here you go.
2686606I couldn't think of anything better. And you just wait and see what I have in store for you readers. There are some twists that I am being very careful about.
2776396 I thought that might catch you off-guard.
2792725 I can't wait to see what you think of the finished product. I might still catch you off guard.
Earleier in the story you said she had only designed 3 weapons and now it appears it's quite a bit more.
2878664 I had said she had only built three weapons, only designing all of the others.
2881427 It isn't finished yet. I accidentally hit publish instead of exiting out of edits.
I've been trying to find this story. Sorta lost it for awhile
3232635 I'm glad you found it again.
3282179 I do have something planned for Shining Armor that you will have to wait to see.
As to the other part, I've been busy with school, chores and a killer headache. I hope to get the next chapter out faster, though.
3287083 Spoilers.
3489413 The others ended up being brought into different scenarios and pulled away periodically after the events of the prologue. They will be returning in their own, separate stories, as well as a reunion in the finishing work of Phase One, Equestria's Mightiest Heroes.
3489479 Yep.
the stry is proceding slowly but flawlessly; keep up the good job
...and I cannot banish this feeling that you are not simply following the story of the film...
3887028 Yes, yes you did.
3888604 For this story, you've basically got it. I will tell you now, though, the Twilight is going to have her own story as soon as I get to it.
3890314 so who's Twilight going to be?
3892128 'Newest' doesn't necessarily mean new, though I probably could word it better. I will fix that now. Thanks.
3891554 In a later story, she follows after another character with her patriotic, good-natured personality.
3892330
She's Captain Equestria? Okay then if Dash is Iron Mare then who's Thor? Please not Applejack.
3893746 I don't see why not. And though there are a few more differences in their personalities than I would prefer, Applejack still fits the bill nicely enough.
3895482 I see.
3897105 Thank you and fixed.
3947050 Thought I fixed that.. oh well. fixed now.
Well I enjoyed Iron Man, and I recall quite well that "I am the Iron Pony!" video from Ponies the Anthology 3, so let's see what you did with this...
unlatched.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/wtf.gif
4015871 Fixed.
4016001 Agreed
Think I'll just follow you instead of waiting for a link.
4047813 when I made that comment I will admit I had not read the story (I now have), but it doesn't matter because it's how it comes into play in the story that I think is weird. It's just one sentence I never thought I'd hear about Rainbow Dash. Because truth be told I do like the story.
I apologize if I offended any one with my previous comment.
in the end, it was not the Iron Monger, turns out it's the Beetle armor
anyway, while the battle between the two armor as been andled more than properly, the foreshadowing between the kidnapping was not that good, making almost lokking it as a deus-ex-machina placed in at the last moment to give the story a sequencial ending
it's not a bad story, and to put it in the word of the original comic "it's part of something bigger that we have yet to see"
4239933
a good way to do it may be having him stop and pondering the situation (eitrer muttering or totally silent) a couple of times while talking to RD about the whole situation
I actually just notice, there is no word in S.H.I.E.L.D's name in this universe that starts with an E. The name is cool, don't get me wrong, but it was just something I had to point out.
6474909 Thanks for pointing that out. Missed that one. I'll fix that now.
6475009 You're welcome. I don't mean to add to your work load, but you might want to go through your hulk story to make sure you didn't make the same mistake there.
On a more personal note, it's good to see you're still alive.
