If our suit doesn't end up being made of adamantium or something equally bullshit, I will be personally insulted.

Well, maybe let's start with something that's not fucking hard to manipulate. :p Besides, get a Vibranium alloy like Cap's shield, it's even better.
So, do we have enough votes for an update? Or do we need to wait till tomorrow?

I can call the vote, but I'll still have to write it in the morning. I might've missed one or two people.

Vote tally:
##### 3.13
[X] The Reporter : The reporter is still hanging around, and he's probably aiming to ask for permission to use the photo he made of your little fight with Richards - a rookie mistake for someone from the paparazzi. Although you're doubtful the reporter would have much to add as far as technology went, having an in with the media that's not a total shill might be worth a lot.
No. of votes: 28

[X] Henry 'Hank' Pym : You haven't seen him yet, but Henry was the one who gave you an invitation, so it's probably nice to go and have a word in thanks. As an expert in miniaturization, it's pretty likely that Pym's got a lot to offer when it comes to small-scale applications of your technologies, ideal for mobile use.
No. of votes: 30
Zen, LightMage, KnightDisciple, avatar11792, staplesdex2, 42hitchhiker, Night_stalker, Charon, Carrnage, Enohthree, Tylonius, Tetsurou, Forgothrax, Ruirk, Vanathor, Blasterbot, UberJJK, shadowfleck, jcw3, MrGazzer, hance1986, illusivepunk, serapheus, shiki11, Vilegrave, Indrik, Draconas, NegativeHorizon, Terris, BoSPaladin

[X] The Caped Figure : Who wears a little red cape, anyway? Ever? You're intrigued, and since you haven't actually seen the man before, he might have expertise in pretty much anything, even fields so esoteric you haven't even thought of them yet.
No. of votes: 4
Charon, Blasterbot, CrawlingChaos74, Random832

[X] Reed Richards : Your little verbal sparring attracted some attention, but honestly you'd enjoyed it more than you cared to admit. Reed was an ass - but he was a smart ass. Loathe as you were to admit it, perhaps the feud between you was at least partially your fault. Reed's expertise when it comes to many varied disciplines, plus his more recent forays in spaceflight, might make him a useful resource.
No. of votes: 3
LightMage, Carrnage, Mithril-blade

[X] The Woman : Yowza, you can't quite get miss good-lookin' off your brain, and you keep trying to find her in the crowd. Whether or not the guy with her was a boyfriend, you were pretty sure you could charm your way into her good graces. Who knows…?

Man, adamantium is heavy stuff. Even assuming we somehow made it into silk-like threads it'd be uncomfortable as all get-out.
Better to go with super-strong silks backed up by force-field generators backed up by some variation on comics Extremis (which is a nanite infusion that, among other things, provides a healing factor).

Voting's closed, but for this once I added you to the tally. May it forever confuse future readers.

Plus the cost would such for adamantium that even Stark would likely balk. Remember, it cost the U.S. Government in X-men Origins half a billion in 1979 dollars just to turn Logan's bones into the stuff, a full power suit would need more by a lot. Though, I wonder if we could maybe look into opening talks with T'Chala? Of course any suit we make will need some sort of hard armor in it, likely Chobham based, and fully sealed against NBC and rated for hard vacuum and deep sea.
 
Man, after browsing other quests, my updates suddenly seem startlingly long. -snort- By the way, if you have any ideas about how you're gonna fight anyone at this point, get cracking. Lacking any of the canon advantages, I wish you good luck at not getting everyone killed. XD
I hope nobody minds my verboseness? I already mostly do two choices, I guess...

Read Bob's Beard Lucci quest and realize that he does a post once per day and players need to ask for a extension so they can decide on the vote.

Heh, I'm used to writing really lengthy chapters for my stories/fanfics (Wand and Shield rarely seems to dip below 10k, and Leaf's Naruto isn't much shorter) and it seems to spill over a bit. At least I'm limited here by only really having a few scenes to do each time. So far, a more-or-less daily schedule seems to work fine.

Admittedly, I once wrote 70.000 words in a week, so if you get me really going, it gets kind of silly.

You strike a good balance in your writing, and I really enjoy reading the updates.

His gold-titanium alloy seems to hold up pretty well. I'd say maybe getting some plates of artificial diamond or something wouldn't hurt.
If and when we get asteroid mining going that might help cook up more exotic materials.
serapheus said:
If I remember correctly, adamantium is retardedly heavy. As in, Wolverine only manages to get around because he's equally ridiculously strong.

Not the kind of thing you want to make a suit out of. Certain parts of a suit, maybe, but not the whole thing.

Remember that Tony has run out of juice while wearing the armor more than once. If it's made of something too heavy for him to even move in...

Yeah, the only "adamantium all over" guy I know of is Ultron, and he's a robot.
Wolverine's muscles heal instantly and perfectly, so he can just always strength train to get beefier.
The key with most of Tony's armors is going to be the balance of strength vs weight, I imagine.

You...you're the author of Wand and Shield?

Uhm, excuse me. I need to go fangirl in private.
 
Probably best to use adamantium to cover vital regions on both Tony's body and over armor systems as the last armor layer.

As for the whole power system debate, I think people are going about things the wrong way. Tony is probably very capable of building high-density batteries capable of giving a vehicle several hundred miles of range on a single charge. Keep reactors at building-size or above and that minimizes the problems people can create with his technology. High-density batteries do create problems of their own, but likely lesser ones than actual reactors.

I don't get adamantium. Every instance I saw it was large sheets of metal. It is indestructibe so wouldn't thin foil be as indestructible?

It'll also come in handy when we get around to power armor for the military. We certainly won't want them to use Arc Reactors.

Haha, yup, that's one of mine. I should get to updating that, really. The next chapter has Loki being a snarky bastard as Harry deals with a souped up Basilisk, as well as the link-up with the Thor storyline in general... It just kinda stalled due to other things going on...
 
serapheus said:
Indestructible, yes, unbendable, no.

You see it a couple times when Magneto decides to bend Wolverine's claws, that the metal, while it retains its structural integrity, can bend.

Thin sheets won't do much good other than preventing penetration.

Hmm. Perhaps some sort of Adamantium laminate then. Enough to offer some protection, but not enough to hinder operations and movement.

Not bad points.
We can make the next research item a mass-produced "industrial size" reactor that's not mountable on armor or anything.
Tetsurou said:
Point, either way though the armor would likely work better for us if we based it off of IRL Dragon Skin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_skin).

Dragon Skin is shit and we should not copy it.
Solid plates are ALWAYS better than overlapping rings or whatnot.
If you want non-solid plate armor, go for this.

Yeah, Logan's indestructibility is helped by the fact that the (fairly thin) Adamantium layers are over his human bones, and human bones are comparatively tough.

Might be worth it, yeah.
 
According to a quick wikidive, Adamantium can be molded for a very short length of time after it is mixed up (8 minutes). That is probably long enough for a JARVIS-assisted process to mold the necessary plates.
 
serapheus said:
Huh, continuity's changed again since I last saw. When I'd last seen it, his bones were all but solid adamantium, his blood only being renewed thanks to his healing factor as he didn't actually have marrow anymore.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
I thought the adamantium blocked off the marrow?
I dunno, I'm more going by how it generally looks on movies and whatnot. It's hard to tell if it's a "coating" or an "infusion".
I was just opining on how I personally thought it worked.
