Equipment

After the security and technology of the SKIN Armor was compromised by Ultron Tony Stark completely redesigned the Iron man suit from the ground up. The new armor, while technically a generation ahead of the SKIN design, is limited in it’s offensive and defensive capabilities when compared to the previous suit. It does boast a wide array of advanced sensors as well as an integrated communication flow with Tony's new personal computer's artificial intelligence named Friday.

• The armor provides Amazing protection from physical damage.
• Unearthly protection from most energy attacks.
• Amazing resistance to heat and cold.
• Incredible resistance to acid.
• Unearthly resistance to electrical attacks
• Unearthly protection from radiation.

• Medium-density plasma projectors located in each gauntlet.
• Outlet located in palm of gauntlet.
• Range of 10 areas.
• May inflict up to Monstrous damage. May inflict less at the discretion of the user
• Iron Man is also able to use his repulsors in a 'wide beam' pattern as an area effect weapon. He is able to effect up to 1 area with a decrease of -2CS in energy output (IE: Monstrous to Incredible damage)

• Circuitry may absorb up to an Unearthly amount of energy each round for 4 rounds.
• Up to 4 rounds of Unearthly rank energy, or 400 points of potential energy damage, may be so stored.
• Stored energy may be redirected through the uni-beam or other weapon systems, inflicting up to Unearthly damage until the excess is depleted.
• Stored energy retained beyond 4 rounds can damage circuitry. Make an Endurance FEAT roll or energy is discharged, inflicting Good damage on the wearer.
• All forms of non-concussive energy may be stored within the armor, including heat and light energy.

• The armor is equipped with internal safety mechanisms to prevent overloading of designed systems. These interfaces may be consciously bypassed to increase abilities.
• Strength and repulsor damage may be raised to Unearthly in this fashion
• Any other single ability may be raised by a single rank through override.
• Each round of override, the owner of the armor must make a yellow FEAT roll on the Shift 0 column.
• Failure indicates the armor is immobilized and must be repaired.

• The armor and specifically Tony Stark has the ability to be in constant communication with the Artificial intelligence computer named Friday.
• The computer is located back at head quarters.
• Friday may provide information on all known criminals and super villains. This helps assist Tony in identifying, hindering, incapacitating or defeating his foe.

• High-speed triple source gyro-stabilized turbines provide Amazing air speed. This can be temporarily enhanced to Unearthly by re-reouting energy from other systems.
• If used as weapons, the boots inflict Incredible damage to targets in the same area

• Heat Beam: Amazing
• Laser: Amazing
• Light Beam: Monstrous
• Tractor Beam: Monstrous
• Holographic Projector: Excellent

• Mechanisms within the helmet may project an omni-directional high-frequency sound wave.
• Range of 3 adjacent areas.
• Sonic attack may inflict up to Amazing damage to all within those areas.
• In addition everyone in the affected areas must make an Endurance FEAT roll against the intensity of the attack, or be Stunned for 1- 10 rounds.

• The suit of armor may be stored in what appears to be a normal briefcase, but which has been specially constructed to contain the armor.
• The briefcase is made of Remarkable material.
• It is secured by an Amazing complexity lock.
• Failure to foil the lock sets off an Amazing strength bomb which destroys the armor completely. The briefcase may be summoned by Tony Stark via remote control. The case can open in mid flight and the armor attaches itself to Tony Stark automatically (even if Tony is running full speed).

Contacts

As a industrialist playboy, Tony Stark has numerous contacts throughout the engineering, business and entertainment world. He also has numerous contacts throughout the intelligence community, thanks to his former days as a munitions developer. Finally, he is founding member of the Avengers, and is a close friend and ally of Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, the Black Widow, Jack of Hearts, and Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. His personal confidants include James Rhodes (formerly Iron Man II; formerly War Machine I), Bethany Cabe, Harold Hogan, and Pepper Potts.

History

Anthony Stark was born to the family of Howard Stark (a wealthy industrialist) and Maria Stark, and inherited the family company at an early age. When he was in Viet Nam supervising his US munitions supply, he was fataly wounded in the heart and captured by communists who wanted him to build a weapon for them. Instead, he created the first of the Iron Man armors that would help his health as well as providing an escape. He was helped fleeing the country by James Rhodes.

Stark kept himself alive through the use of the armored chest plate, and played a dual role as industrialist / millionaire / playboy Stark, and bodyguard / Stark employee / adventurer Iron Man, stopping corporate espionage, founding and supplying SHIELD, and founding and joining the Avengers. Later, among various armor redesigns, Stark recieved a heart transplant, oblivating the need for his armored pacemaker chest plate.

Then, over time and during Stark's long bout with alcoholism, Obadiah Stane managed to wrest control of Stark's company and bring Stark to virtual poverty. At this time, Rhodes took on the Iron Man identiy. Soon, Stark and his friends were able to form a successful rival company, Circutis Maximus. After a while, Stark's battle with Stane was brought to a head, and Stark regained control of his father's company. Stark also began his recovery from alcoholism.

Soon, he discovered that technology developed by Stark Int'l was being used by armored criminals, and thus began a long "Armor War" as Stark tracked down all evidence of his corrupted technology. This led him to violate many laws, and even kill the Soviet agent, Gremlin. The US Army sent an armored soldier, Firepower, to apprehend Stark, who ultimately faked his death, using an "Iron-Man-as-Stark-employee"excuse to come back as Iron Man again.

Later, he was shot by Kathy Dare, an old girlfriend in an insane rage of jealousy. This left him severly injured, paralyzed from the waist down. He could, however, fully function while in the Iron Man armor, and he remained increasingly dependant on the armor until a microchip device was implanted in his spine to enable him to walk again. However, his body later rejected the implant, and Stark's body was put in a cyrogenic freeze, after which Stark legeally died, and Rhodes took over running Stark's business.

Stark recovered, however, and took on the mantle of iron once again, much to the chagrin of pinch-hitter Rhodes. Rhodes left Stark Int'l to become his own hero, War Machine, although Stark and Rhodes later repaired their friendship.

Subsequent activities led Iron Man to help disband the Avengers' West Coast branch and set up Force Works, before he influenced by the time-travelling manipulator Immortus. Becoming a traitor to the Avengers, Stark murdered the Avengers' nanny Marilla, Avengers' associate Yellowjacket II, and even a Force Works public relations manager. Stark ultimately faught a younger version of himself (brought from the past to fight him,) with both heroes mortally wounding the other. Before he passed away, Tony Stark tried to redeem himself by providing plans for a pacemaker chest plate that would save the life of his younger self and would pave the way for him to be the next Iron Man.

This new Iron Man later sacrificed himself to the psychic-energy villain Onslaught, and was shunted to a pocket universe. Upon re-emerging from this universe, Iron Man was reborn into the body and the memories of Tony Stark as he appeared before Immortus' manipulations. Finding Stark International bought by the Fujikawa Corporation, Tony Stark set up a new business for himself, Stark Solutions, as a technological consulting firm, and reassumed the Iron Man indentiy. Iron Man was on hand to reassemble the Avengers as well. Stark set up a new base of operations in his Seattle home, and eventually rescued the robot Jocasta, allowing her to interface with his mansion's computer systems.

Tony Stark continues to adventure as Iron Man.
