The new version is back up on Deviantart, it seems. Now you have. Thanks.

Serious Answer: Their goals are mutually exclusive. Lightwards wants to remove his limit and unite the planet under his own mind--the Panda is more of an idealist, wanting to let all his pandas frolic and play together in a glorious utopia. The Panda would see Lightwards as narrow-minded, arrogant, and a threat to his beloved bears. Lightwards would see the Panda as a ridiculous primitive who threatens the forward march of progress. With that said, they might be able to work together in the short term if Lightwards allowed the Panda a large enough territory, sending all the humans he can catch to him for pandafication. Eventually the Panda would wish to expand, but for the short term he'd be willing to collaborate in order to maximize the humans he acquires for pandafication, and Lightwards would value his powerset for his ability to combat other Epics. Joke Answer: Zombie pandas.

...Well that's one typo I won't be correcting.

Have you tried making offerings to the Netflix Spirit? I now want desperately to see someone try this on Iconoplast. Make it happen, What Happened in Corvallis crew.

What to do in the event of a bear attack.

Welp. I don't drive and I live a couple of miles away from the nearest town. The surrounding area is an arid scrubland, so best case scenario is that I find a thorn bush to hide inside. (A technique my father, an ex survival instructor for the military, would guess immediately.) So it seems I have only one final recourse. The fact that I can run to our gun storage shed faster than they can.

Currently contemplating whether I should be the one to add all of our MemeticMolesters to the TV Tropes page.

Seconded. You might say that I find her presence quite... pleasurable.

Gloryspren. We spend a lot of time together. Favorite apocalyptic scenario?

That happens pretty frequently around here. Most of the time they show back up--disappearing then reappearing is just a habit for a few of them. Blackthorn, though... contrary to the name, he is neither fierce nor strong. And he's never done this before, and every night I hear the local coyotes singing... I know worrying doesn't do any good, but I can't help it.

At least two days. Which might not sound like much, but this is a pampered tomcat who spends nearly every day sleeping in the chair beside me while I'm on the computer. For him to not be in the house... well, like I said. It's worrying.

One of my cats--the sweetest, most gentle of my cats--has gone missing. It's not like him to wander off or hide from us. I'm worried about him.

Little did he know that if anything, MV was keeping him.

Vanilla Sabotage gets together to hash out a plan. They challenge Nighthound to a game of Scrabble--if he refuses, then offer to give him Sam as a reward for victory. (She'll never be in any danger, but they'll need some form of incentive.) From the bushes, have Funtimes change the tiles just before he pulls them out of the bag. Give him all the necessary tiles to play the word "consensual," and have Nathan set him up the perfect opportunity on the board to play it. Nighthound will have no choice but to play it, and in so doing, be instantly annihilated. Challenge Deathwish and Shiny Sparkle, and repeat.

You could do what I do. Just PM it to anyone who asks, and who you're reasonably confident isn't a serial killer.

Most of the named victims of Nighthound's violence were chosen because they were cute. If Nighthound were to touch the word "consensual" in a dictionary, he and the book would vaporize in a flash of energy.

In that they both feature immortal demigods who have ruled their planets for centuries, taking power after the defeat of ancient spirits of entropy and ruling from grand cities with way too many spires? Or that they both feature introverted heroes who see no value in trusting others, until their struggles against powerful villains alongside their allies teaches them that camaraderie is the most powerful magic of all? Or that both series' central protagonists are extremely talented in the ways of magic, even in worlds where magic is relatively commonplace? Or that both feature settings where the natural order is radically different from our own, relying on rigid control and constant work to keep even the most basic necessities for survival running? Or that the people of the settings are divided into different classes, the higher classes possessing powerful magic but existing alongside a lower caste with no obvious magical properties at all?

What would happen if someone took a pen and scribbled anti-Rainmaker propaganda on the outside of the bubble? Would the ink stick to the surface, or would it all just slide off?

I purposefully understated it to make a point. My point is, his power is the ability to resist all forms of physical harm--but the Elements don't need to inflict physical harm in order to win the fight. Using the Elements to imprison him would be like using the Elements to take Curveball's gun--they may not be capable of overriding his Calamity-granted powers, but they can certainly work around them. To counter the devil's advocate claim: (Firefight spoilers):

Steelheart doesn't possess Calamity's whole power any more than Curveball does--he has only one power that matters in the face of the Elements, and that's his invulnerability. His invulnerability is not an absolute. It does not give him the ability to thwart any attempt at fighting him--his invulnerability only ensures that his skin can't be cut and his bones can't be broken. He could still be trapped in the moon or banished to Tartarus. And heck, even without the Elements he could probably be brainwashed into coveting Twilight's Mr. Smartypants doll or turned into a Breezie. Steelheart's a big deal in his own universe, but in the end, he's just an indestructible man who can fly and shoot lasers from his hands. The Elements, and Twilight herself, have defeated far more intimidating foes, and there's nothing special about Steelheart that makes him any different.

1. I admitted that Twilight on her own wouldn't be able to do much. Nothing in the OP said I couldn't do a little expansion for the fun of it. 2. So? We're not necessarily talking about the current point in the show. I was merely stating that the Elements have demonstrated they possess the capability of neutralizing Steelheart once activated. (Besides which, if they hid out in the Everfree Steelheart would probably never even find them. Heck, if they just convinced Discord to let them hide out at his house Steelheart could search a hundred years and never find them. I won't even get into what would happen to Steelheart if Discord learned about his intentions to harm Fluttershy.) 3. I... sorry, but I don't actually understand what you're saying there. My argument is that the Elements have neutralized quite a few indestructible demigods, ones with far greater demonstrated capabilities than Steelheart. Assuming Steelheart would be somehow immune because of his invulnerability is kind of silly. As a meta argument: Steelheart is heavily modeled after Superman, who is canonically vulnerable to magic.

Any of the ponies would fear him at least a little, so they wouldn't be able to physically harm him. However, the Elements of Harmony are a force of power far beyond what meager might Steelheart possesses. The Elements and their concentrated power have been successfully used against: An immortal archmage possessed by a sentient shadow. The first time the Elements imprisoned said archmage in the moon for a thousand years; the second time they destroyed the sentient shadow and purified the host. The primordial god of chaos, shown to be completely indestructible and capable of instantly reshaping the planet to fit his will. The Elements imprisoned him in stone, robbing him of his powers and leaving him sentient but immobile for a thousand years. And the Elements did this twice. Finally, the power of the Elements were absorbed into their Bearers, and used against Lord Tirek. Tirek was a powerful archmage in his own right, who had absorbed the magical strength of most of the people of Equestria--including both previous targets of the Elements of Harmony. The Elements easily countered his magic and banished him to Hell. Twilight Sparkle wouldn't be able to directly harm Steelheart; at most, on her own she'd be able to trap him somewhere. But with her friends, with the Elements of Harmony powered by the magic of friendship on her side, Steelheart would be like a bug against a windshield. (Personally, my headcanon is that the Elements of Harmony would sever his connection with Calamity, depowering him and returning him to the level of a normal human. Steelheart might be an indestructible demigod capable of taking on an alicorn archmage. Paul Jackson would not.)
