Superman and all related characters are owned by DC Comics (or the Shuster and/or Siegel families. I dunno which at present). My Little Pony is an IP of Hasbro. This story is 40 percent my own effort (in the sense that the general idea was mind along with some VERY minor details and that I was the editor) and 60 percent that of Captain Ash a.k.a. The Celestial Avenger (in the sense that he did most of the actual writing and was responsible for the overwhelming and vast majority of the details). So, without further adieu, A Typical Tuesday: Superpony.
Big Macintosh woke up to the sun hitting his face. Yawning, he slowly got up and looked over at the clock on his bedside table. His green eyes nearly shot out of his head when he realized that he forgot to set his alarm the night before and had little time to get to work. Leaping out of his bed in a blur of red, he sped around his apartment, quickly taking a quick shower and making an even quicker breakfast of a single piece of toast which he made with his heat vision. He put on his usual dull grey business suit and round coke-bottle glasses before he ran out of his apartment in a blur.
Macintosh made a brisk pace, though not fast enough to attract too much attention to himself, as he galloped down the streets of Manetropolis. He looked at a clock tower and saw he had just enough time to make it to the Daily Star before his boss discovered he was late. However suddenly he heard the thundering footsteps of large metallic feet. He turned around and saw three 50 foot tall robots rampaging down the street. Grumbling as he looked around to make sure nopony was looking, he ducked into a phone booth and a second later came out in a blue costume with a red cape and S on his chest.
Flying toward the robots, he engaged them with his amazing strength!
"APPLE! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?! YOU'RE OVER AN HOUR LATE AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING FOR THAT GIANT ROBOT STORY!" Big Macintosh's boss, Periwinkle White yelled. However those that worked for the blue coated pony with the grey mane was to never call him by his full name. Ever.
Macintosh was about to explain himself, but his boss beat him to it.
"I don't want to hear your excuses! Just get to work!" Perry ordered as he stomped off to his office and slammed the door.
Macintosh typed up a rather abridged version of Superpony's encounter with the three giant robots, being sure not to make it seem like it was he himself who had done the heroic deed of vanquishing the mechanical menaces.
"EVERYPONY! MY OFFICE NOW!" Bellowed Perry White, causing Macintosh to sigh. He hated staff meetings. Macintosh stood at the back and next to the door, with Perry trying to brainstorm on ideas to sell more papers. "Alright everypony, the Trougham Gazette has been killing us with those Batmare stories of theirs! We need to push Superpony! I want you eating, breathing, and living Superpony you got that?!" Perry ranted as everyone in the room looked about as lively as a funeral procession.
Macintosh held back a yawn before his super acute hearing picked up a crime in progress. Discreetly super-speeding out of the building, he flew downtown to see what looked like a giant rubber ducky. Atop the duck was a pink pony wearing a purple vest, a ludicrously large bow tie and a mask that looked like a ventriloquist dummy.
"What's wrong everypony? Don't wanna play with Toymare?" The pony asked as the ponies in the streets ran in terror. The masked pony then turned the giant duck toward a bank and was about to smash in the front door, when Superpony showed up in front of the madpony and his malicious machine!
"Oooh! Looks like I've got a new playmate!" Toymare cackled out in demented glee as the duck deployed rocket launchers from under its wings. Superpony's eye's widened as the missiles fired.
After 30 minutes, Perry had not ended the meeting. However he did notice that Big Macintosh was missing and caught the sound of his office door opening and saw Machintosh enter his office, though the publisher/editor-in-chief missed the rather tired look about his employee.
"Great Celestia's Ghost, Apple! What did I just get through tell you this morning?! Why in my day we didn't tolerate such tardiness! I've got a good mind..." Petty ranted as Macintosh just sighed and nodded silently at the second lecture of the day.
Big Macintosh sat at his favorite sandwich shop, eager to dig into his foot-long dandelion, roamane lettuce, spinach and pepper sub. However, before he could even take a bite, he heard sirens blaring from down the street. Grumbling, he sat up, headed outside, and once again ducked into a nearby phone-booth to once again emerge as Superpony.
Speeding toward the situation, Superpony saw a sixty-foot tall chimpanzee smashing buildings. He flew full speed at the giant ape, but was smacked backwards by the chimp. Superpony landed in his favorite sandwich shop (or rather, the remains of it after his impact). Looking down at what was clearly his ruined lunch, he glared at the giant chimp before flying full speed toward it again.
Macintosh made it back to work, exhausted from his battle with what everypony was now calling Titano the Super-Ape. He was also rather ravenous as he had little time to find another place to eat after his battle before his lunch break was over. Sure, technically he didn’t need to eat, but old habits die hard, ya know?
As he trotted sullenly over to his desk, he began to do his work half-heartedly. Honestly, he couldn't see how his day could get worse.
"Hey Ponyville! Guess what!" Macintosh heard the voice of a mare call from behind him. He rubbed his temples with his hooves in preparation for how rough the next few minutes of his life would soon turn. "I just got the scoop on that giant monkey story! Turns out Jetcorp was doing some illegal animal testing and that thing busted out. Jet Set was able to avoid jail time by denying any involvement and putting the blame on a couple rogue scientists though. Still, once again, Mavis Mane does it…again!"
A mare with a light tan coat and black mane and tale said as she trotted around, happily gloating to everypony that would listen. Big Macintosh wouldn't deny he had a crush on Mavis, but she could be a real pain sometimes.
It was sundown and Big Macintosh had never been happier to see a day end. He collapsed on his bed, not even bothering to take his suit off and intended to just sleep his horrible day away. Before he could even close his eyes however, he heard the sound of a loud explosion. Growling slightly, he forced himself up, changed into his Superpony costume, and flew out the window of his apartment to see what else was trying to ruin his day.
Superpony looked around the crumbled remains of a department store. Fortunately everypony had gotten out in time before the building collapsed. Scanning the area with his x-ray vision, he couldn't find the cause of the explosion, which was very odd. Bizarre even.
"You don't look like Superpony! That--can be!" A voice from above said.
Superpony looked up to see a flying Earth Pony in a costume identical to his own, but with a backwards S on the chest. The pony was chalk-white and his mane and tale were jet black and unruly.
"ME AM SUPERPONY!" The white doppelganger roared as it charged forward.
Superpony could only say one thing.
"Why me?"
