Lil' canon question - for fic

[jetsuffragette.livejournal.com]

Hey, I just finally got to actually read Civil War as opposed to little bits of it, and I want to write a fic, but I had a canon question...

Did Extremis actually fix Tony's heart once and for all, and did he have that at the time of Civil War? Otherwise, surely Cap disabling his armour with electric-type pulse things (twice) could *very* easily have killed him?

Yes and yes.

The actual trade to this. Extrmis, when he gets the extremis injected into him, and Extremis Execute, when Stark's system is hacked into... that titled him towards supporting the SHRA.

Wiki's entry on the extremis is short, so I've just Cut and Paste.



After being critically injured during a battle with the Extremis-enhanced Mallen, Stark injects his nervous system with a modified techno-organic virus (the Extremis process) that not only saves his life, it gives him the ability to store the inner layers of the Iron Man armor in the hollows of his bones as well as control it through direct brain impulses. Stark can control the layer of the armor underneath his skin and make it emerge from numerous exit points around his limbs as a gold-colored neural interface under-sheath. While in this form, Stark has technopathic control of the armor and can suit up at any time, calling the larger components to him. Furthermore, the Extremis process has increased his body's recuperative and healing abilities. He is also able to connect remotely to external communications systems such as satellites, cellular phones, and computers throughout the world. Because the armor's operating system is now directly connected to Stark's nervous system, its response time has been significantly improved.

I don't know if he'll have it still. So, have a care.

I thought his heart had been fixed prior to having the Extremis injection. At least, in the beginning of the trade I have, Tony refers to that little problem being in the past. I thought he'd eventually had a heart transplant... with altnerate universe younger Tony being the donor...
