@Leaf Shade: (I'm back now so I can respond) first of all, I personally find Applejack to be the strongest of the two, partly because she's an earth pony (and strength to an earth pony, is what magic and flight is to a unicorn and a pegasis respectively), and partly because she is in more situations that would require strength. Applejack is strong, Dash is fast, Twilight is smart, and so on...

The show has confirmed that Dash is not the only pegasi in whatever world MLP is set in (Equestria is a country) to do a Sonic Rainboom - I don't no why so many have such a hard time understanding this; Nopony knew that they had seen a Sonic Rainboom when Dash did it as a filly (at the end of The Cutie Mark Chronicles theother five are all like; "Oh is that what it was?!") yet the term "Sonic Rainboom" is well known in legend. That proves that at least one pegasus has done it before. The show clearly states that it's something that every pegasi has the power to do, deep down.

Her looks are pure coincidence; Rainbow Dash isn't an original character - she was in G3 My Little Pony; she had a rainbowbow mane in that series, so she gets one here despite being a different character.

You know that the character who is fast, did the Sonic Rainboom, and all those other things was never intended to have a rainbow mane, or even be Rainbow Dash, right? You realize she was suposed to just be a pink pegasus with a blue mane right? Yet she would have still been the same character she is now, just a different name...
