Conversation between Lan and Panda concerning this post: ^______^ Panda: Greek naked wrestling.... oh i love it and Tony and Cap do both love the Arthurian legends--- knights in shining armor would be adorable <3 I wonder if Tony never had the heart problem that made him build a shell around himself would he have? Though I doubt he would have been a super hero if he hadn't been injured. But he loved building things and structural design too much not to make himself a part of it. The suit is an extension of what he was already doing, what with designing the helicarrier and flying cars, and LMDs. Lan: Well he may have made a remote robot or personal flyer. I always see him as a “what? See my robot pals?” if he weren't in the armor because one day SHIELD would get him trying to perfect their LMD's and then bam, he'd be like “I could do some neat stuff with this.” Panda: Yeah.... but I also think that he NEEDS to be in it... that he even hated Extremis and what it did to him during the war... how it distanced him with his own humanity. He was the most connected with machines he'd ever been but the most distant to people. I think that sending robots out would take too much humanity away from the situation. And Tony really cares what other people think... and about humans, even "bad" ones. That’s part of his whole... drunken homeless guy arc. I think in any form Tony would probably try to hide himself--- that's one thing that wasn't the same about movie!tony. He wanted everyone to know what a good guy he'd become! “See I’m bright and shiny and new!” comic!tony wants to be bright and shiny and new in the sense of an entirely new persona-- an iron man who isn't weak like Tony Stark is/was and can be again. Iron Man is strong and independent of Tony Stark-- at least he used to be. With extremis you don't see that anymore... and Tony’s winding up for another breakdown. Lan: ::hugs Woobie!Tony:: Panda: Ok so-- if Tony went through an event that motivated him to become a superhero, even if it didn't damage his heart which forced him to build a shell around himself, I think he'd still build something that he could hide behind or crawl into. And he might start out with robots, but then I think he'd slip too far into evil territory when the humanity is drained from the battle situations. That’s part of Tony’s problem even when in the suit fighting people hand to hand. So let's say he created something around himself, and it wasn't the armor... what would it be? Lan: think Booster Gold-- except making the tech himself, automatic force shielding, general protective body suit with enhanced strength and blasters Panda: So like a suit without the armor? Lan: Yup
