Based on a Marvel Comic arc: Illuminati. It details about how of some of Marvel’s most powerful characters create an organization that works behind the scenes to protect the world from external threats. Decided to take that concept and apply it to Ponies, ‘cause that’s all I ever do. Black Panther brings together Professor X, Namor, Iron Man, Black Bolt, Dr. Strange, and Mr. Fantastic.
 
Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Dragon Lord Ember, Tempest Shadow, King Thorax, and Maud Pie are some of the Universe’s most effective, intelligent, and powerful characters who join forces to protect Equestria and the whole multiverse from all kinds of threats. They’re brought together by Twilight Sparkle who is not pictured in this ‘comic cover’ much like how Black Panther is absent in the Illuminati Comic Cover.
