Power Ponies (characters)

The Power Ponies are a team of comic book superheroes who defend the fictional city of Maretropolis. They are mentioned in the season four episodes Power Ponies and Trade Ya! and are to physically appear in IDW Publishing's upcoming My Little Pony Annual 2014. Their archenemy is the Mane-iac.

Depiction in the series
The Power Ponies' comic serves as the focus of the episode of the same name. Spike is fascinated by the team's fictional adventures and exploits, staying up late to read the comic. While reading the comic in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, Spike reads a footnote on the inner back cover of the comic, causing a magic spell to suck him and the Mane Six inside its pages. The seven of them are transported to Maretropolis, the comic's main setting, and they assume the roles of the comic's titular heroes.

In the episode Trade Ya!, Spike goes with his friends to the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange to trade a mint condition Power Ponies comic book for another mint condition comic.

Depiction in the comics
On page 14, Spike mentions his and his friends' journey into a comic book.

IDW's upcoming My Little Pony Annual 2014 is to feature "the original Power Ponies in action".
