Poll is up! Just like it says on the tin, who should Tony run into on his first official patrol?
Tony has JARVIS or Dragon that can do this. No need for QA hijinks.

I have no idea why I can write run-on-patter Stark. But I'm glad you like!
The Mark 42 was almost certainly a joke, but someone did note that Tony basically built it while he was mentally falling apart himself. So maybe it was actually an allusion to his problems?I mean on one hand you have them probably wanting the Extremis guys to appear like a threat... but then you have the Mark 42 falling to pieces at the slightest tap...
Except we know from Canon it actually can be jammed. And copied. (It's also normally extremely short ranged.)There would be some minor technical hurdles to overcome, but the insect controlled drones would have some undeniable advantages. Most importantly, they would be nearly impossible to jam or co-opt.
Tony would have been told the rules about not uncovering masks, thanks to the Endbringers. So catching people in the civvies is a lot less likely.I wish there was an option for multiple choices.
I voted Undersiders because I feel that they would probably be easier to find, what with Rachel walking her dogs and their loft in the abandoned factory might just be easily picked up as suspicious considering it's location.
But really I could see Tony zipping around the Docks area entirely, totally not just to show the flag and warn people away from Taylor's home, and encounters with the ABB thanks to facial recognition software could lead him to the infamous Lay-Z-Boy himself.
Oh true. But in some ways he could fly around, tag them all, and then track them to nail them when they mask up.Tony would have been told the rules about not uncovering masks, thanks to the Endbringers. So catching people in the civvies is a lot less likely.
Both by rare cases. Even then, Panacea needed to be in contact with a bug in Taylor's control and Leet could only build the one thing. Even then, the idea behind the drones I was suggesting would be as optional external equipment. Things like Bits and Funnels from Gundam. They would likely be much cheaper to build than to make entire new suits at least and would give her a utility that Tony simply wouldn't be able to manage without JARVIS' direct assistance.Except we know from Canon it actually can be jammed.

Eh, he's more focused on making the PRT a lot more effective. He's about to shake the whole world up quite a bit.Both by rare cases.

On the other hand, it is a character note that makes me really want to see Black Widow in a fic with this premise. How many Black Widow - Skitter teamups are out there?
Or Captain America - Miss Militia. There might be some fangirling from the latter
... and much oogling from GG and Panacea. (Oh GOD DEM ABS/DAT BIOLOGY)
MCU aka Earth 19999 not Marvel Comics Earth 616. Hardlight holograms are not in this Tony's tech tree yet.hmm..Holographic wings? not Hard light? like Falcons?
that way they are functional.
i.e shield, tray, sword, gun, that sort of thing
Not particularly. The Avengers might get a cameo in the end.Any plans to have anyone else from the Marvelverse end up at Earth Bet in this fic?
darn....MCU aka Earth 19999 not Marvel Comics Earth 616. Hardlight holograms are not in this Tony's tech tree yet.
Well, wasn't Kid Win's pistols shooting hardlight? Or am I remembering a fanfic?
I believe canon only explained them as lasers. Not specifically hard light or not just 'Lasers'.Well, wasn't Kid Win's pistols shooting hardlight? Or am I remembering a fanfic?
That stun. So you might as well call them 'blasters' or 'stunners'.I believe canon only explained them as lasers. Not specifically hard light or not just 'Lasers'.
To be fair, if JARVIS had super fast reaction times and virtually unlimited multi-tasking, there would be no real need for any other heroes. He'd do everything himself.
I totally forgot to reply to this.A Tony Stark that is inclined to do enough research on people he comes into contact with and people-savvy enough to draw the connection between the Nilbog thing and Emily Piggot's general brusqueness when it comes to parahumans is a Tony Stark who is waaaay too on top of things to get Pepper Potts strawberries as an apology gift.
Well, that mostly means he hasn't thought of it on a slow weekend yet, but if he's got even the intangible "glowing 3d image floating over a projector" all-angles viewable hollywood holographs there's quite a bit of functionality to be had there already with sufficient creativity, even if they're monotone or only have a few display colors.MCU aka Earth 19999 not Marvel Comics Earth 616.

Oh, I'm sure that Taylor will use it for things that Tony didn't immediately intend the holograms for. But that's actually why they decided on holograms, rather than 'solid' wings in the first place.Well, that mostly means he hasn't thought of it on a slow weekend yet, but if he's got even the intangible "glowing 3d image floating over a projector" all-angles viewable hollywood holographs there's quite a bit of functionality to be had there already with sufficient creativity, even if they're monotone or only have a few display colors.
As for suggesting Firefly, I'd forgotten that Chrysalis was just picked and not even publicly debuted - my thoughts ran "Chrysalis had a silk costume, Firefly now has armor with glowy bits." Chrysalis is the more unique name anyway, and if you cast your eyes to the left you can see my opinion on those
Considering how often MCU Tony hops out of the armor in a combat situation, if the trend carries over to her, she may well get plenty of use out of her homemade costume anyway.Oh, I'm sure that Taylor will use it for things that Tony didn't immediately intend the holograms for. But that's actually why they decided on holograms, rather than 'solid' wings in the first place.
And yeah, Chrysalis hasn't 'debuted' yet, so has no costume to identify her with. She is a very teeny tiny bit annoyed that she isn't going to her her own silk costume. But not much, because bullet proof armor that flies is much cooler.
What Tony did with digging up Piggot's background is not something a friend does. This is the sort of thing a fairly ruthless Type-A personality does while running a business.
Make of that what you will.
