other superhero identities for Steve and Tony
This is something of a random discussion topic, but I was pondering the idea the other day and I can't resist inviting other people to weigh in.
If, for some random reason, Steve wasn't "Captain America" and Tony wasn't "Iron Man" and they had different identities, what would those superhero identities be? What would their costumes look like?
Would Tony's alter ego still be openly tech focused, or would he use tech to create a new theme? If so, what theme? Would Steve be patriotic, or try something totally different? Heck, assume that Steve isn't patriotic, since there are already way too many variations on that theme. What's another identity that could suit him?
My brain keeps wanting to put them in complimentary costumes--possibly something in blue and green--and have them fight crime as official partners. But my brain won't cough up actual themes for them. Wait...brain and brawn! Bwa ha ha ha ha! Okay, so I had an Anne McCaffrey flashback there. *g*

It's going to be ages before we can start posting anything, though. We're currently 25 pages into the fic and still only on the third scene (out of over 40 scenes - seriously, the outline alone is longer than some entire fics).
