Whose super power you wouldn't mind having?
Me Fili-Second's high speed.

Quick recap of the powers,
Zapp controls weather and sends lighting
Fili-Second very fast
Masked Matter-horn can shoot different types of beams(mostly ice)
Saddle Ranger gets big when angry
Radiance can make objects out of solid light from her bracelet
Mistress Mare-velous has, strength, lasso, and those horseshoe-rangs

And before anyone ask about Humdrum, he's just a regular pony.
He just helps the girls out.

Fili-second is the Flash
Masked Matterhorn is ?
Saddle Rager is The Hulk
Raidence is Green Lantern
Mistress Marevalous is Wonder Woman
I'd go for Raidence's power
Can someone tell me who the masked materhorn is ?
Ever heard of Iron Man?
That horn is fake, something that she designed, along with being smart.

I'd say Zapp's closest analogue would be Storm, from the X-Men.
As for Matter-Horn, her powers seem to be some form of matter manipulation combined with standard energy blasts, so I'd propose either Firestorm (without the fire elemental powers) or Doctor Alchemy (the Flash rogue) as her analogue.

I thought Zap more resembled Thor to me. (Both have weather control [minor] and throwing lightning bolts around [major] in common.)
But weather control is only a part of Thor's power set, he's also strong, invulnerable, great at hand-to-hand fighting, etc. I consider Storm to be a closer analogue because weather control is her main - actually, almost her only schtick, much like Zapp.
Read horseshoe-ranges and immediately thought Pony Batman...
Went to linked video
Looked at comments Section
And saw this...
Derpy is Batman.
Yes...Just... yes

Out of the power ponies... I'd have to say Zap.
Out of any super hero ever? Either Superman or Deadpool... Oh or a combination of the two! that would be cool! It could be called something like Superpool! Or Deadman! Or how about Overpowered! Get on it Marvel and DC.

Depends on the universe I'm in. If I have to face supervillains, probably Radiance's ability. In *this* universe, Fili-second's power seems by far the most useful.
Evil campaigns sound fun, but I can't trust my playgroup with them. They cause enough trouble without putting them in the deep end of the alignment pool.
Actually, I'm pretty sure members of the group have said something to that effect.

Dust off a copy of Paranoia and see how fast the party destroys itself. If it's within one session, evil campaigns are probably not for them.
One the other hand, if they actually finish a given module, either they're all terribly lucky or you're doing it wrong

I've checked; they'd already knew about the game, which rather hamstrings the fun that can be had.
So, what system are they using? Mutants & Masterminds? Venture City (Fate)? Marvel Superheroes? Villains & Vigilantes? I need to know!
Very cool! 3rd or 4th edition?
Currently using Venture City (Fate) - my players know Fate so it was a no brainer.

I tend to use Marvel Advanced for superhero games. It's got one table, a robust power generation system, and it allows the players to spend Karma to adjust die rolls, for when it's cinematically appropriate to pull impossible stuff off.
We also use a house rule, where every power is at the "standard" rank. So everyone isn't hosed with low-end powers in a rank level. If they have an Amazing rank power, it does 50 points, or resists 50 points, etc, etc.
We also tend to import character from all over. Wild Cards, DC, Gamma World, Street Fighter, V&V... The list goes on. Which makes for a very wild world, indeed.

M&M for my group. It's pretty flexible and the pacing is good. The abstract damage system helps a good bit too
Let's see... The superhero ones I know how to do and/or have played:
GURPs
Big Eyes Small Mouth
Pathfinder: Heroes Wear Masks
Maids RPG
...Everyone is John

BESM is indeed worthy. Just...avoid Autofire, especially at higher point totals.
Add pointless repetition of phrases and it's going to be a fine example of Frank Miller's naration.
That's not entirely true. There's also "Zen and the Art of Gazebo Repair" and "Neigh Anything." It's just that both of those have little presence of the Mane Six.
making the PC's into the villains?
now that's interesting

I still love that last panel. Everypony's like, "Yes, Justice."
But then Humdrum's like "Hm, Justice?" and Marevelousis just "NGAHH! FUCKING JUSTICE, FUCK YEAH!"

It's not part of the main IDW comics right?
It's a special arc that shows what a "normal" Power Pony story looks like. Where the Mane 6 aren't taking the roles.
I guess substituting the species of ANY of them wouldn't change much, though; Give, say, Saddle Rager's power to a Gryphon and Radiance's power to a Dragon, and they still function much the same.
Point is, I did feel it a bit weird that there just happened to be room for a dragon in the initial story - heck, maybe that's part of why Spike's more useful than Humdrum; He's got opposable thumbs :P
It's the same problem Twilight has with using her magic when stressed - I'm thinking a certain scene in particular, but even just generally in the show she's rather bad at using magic while freaking out.
So I guess like sister/master/owner, like brother/servant/pet? :P (I'm pretty sure the actual relationship between the two is essentially one step short of siblings; Twilight treats him noticeably different from her actual family, but otherwise the two treat each other like almost-siblings. A ward and his young guardian, might be the best way to define it)
...At this moment I genuinely hope I never get super powers.
So imagine my delight when I discovered the 2014 Annual comic. An alternate semi-canon universe, potential for an "evil" campaign... Fertile ground when it comes to tabletop roleplaying.
