Stark Transcendent (Iron Man/Marvel Quest)

Do we have Doctor Strange available?

I think it might just be simpler to get fafnir to ride into a portal to someplace unpleasant.

Bonus: he could come back in a few years and add to the plot at an unexpected time.

Pull out a fastball special and blast Fafnir with your unibeam chest array - test your supposition that you can channel Northstar's power, and form a coherent beam of preferably electrical energy. This will certainly burn out the unibeam for use during the battle, if not more.

I've had a change of thought here. I'm more interested in bringing the Phoenix into things. A giant dragon spewing a flammable variant of terrigen mist wants to fight us? Let's show him what a true superpowered fire being is. Bring out the cosmic fire, and burn this overgrown gecko!

It's possible. We won't know for sure until we either get more understanding of our own connection to the PF, or they blatantly demonstrate something connected to the PF.

I don't expect so though. The cosmic radiation brought stuff out of the people involved in that incident. The Phoenix Force was more in us and responding to the situation than interfering and causing anything.

I seem to recall OOC having the information that your Sorcerer is in another castle dimension. Would that he were around, another flier with unfathomable power would be amusing for Tony's psyche.

Personally I find it unlikely. Considering we're still human post-Phoenix, and given Reed & Ben's decidedly non-human biological structures the F4 (arguably) are not, it's more likely that we took the Phoenix full-bore. Plus, I really don't want to think Roarian would be so evil as to make us be part of the Phoenix Five with fucking Reed.

Not really, remember we still have the think Tank, therefore even they Sabotage shield and our plan fails (which is rather likely as the current winning plan trades the phoenix boost for a gamble involving & risking the life of somebody who has his super powers for about a week and who has no combat experience to speak of)

Not sure why you're so negative on St. George, seeing as it takes the not-bad idea of Kings in the North and factors in the only thing proven to actually hurt this thing--Storm's powers, amplified by Torch who has had his powers for more than a week, IIRC. Do note that the Kings plan says "preferably electrical energy" but doesn't guarantee it, while St. George does. Plus, St. George gets that electrical damage where we need it--on the inside of the beast.

It's the ol' Zrrp n' Flrrp.

Damn, I was hoping Saint George would win. Any chance I could get a few of you guys to switch over?

Sure, it means no sun-brand bonus, but the actual actions of Kings in the North still happen. Along with the Skylance, which is literally Johnny Storm leading a superhurricane's worth of lighting through Fafnir like the sword of an angry god.

I'm negativ about it because it comes without Bonus and depends largely on the greenest hero we have available to work,
He has 0 combat experience and has not used his powers in a real fight yet, so the chance that something will go wrong is with Jonny significantly higher then without him,

I know @Marlowe310811 that you like the Human Torch, but especially because of that I feel you shouldn't be so risky with him like that, remember that combat here can get people killed and I feel that your plan has a just as high chance working as it has in not working and getting somebody else killed

Part of the reason that I am leaning towards the Kings in the North over Saint George is that we take the focus of the danger rather than Johnny.

Johnny is a little green. But, choosing him as a POV character gives him a boost, and IIRC he has some adventuring/hero/extreme sports experience. Yes, this is still his first real super fight, but that is somewhat mitigated in that he's not going to be doing much in the way of fighting. The plan basically just has him hover inside the storm for a while, then do one high speed flight.

On the bonus:

I won't count that in, since you include a couple other people in the attack which would already boost it anyway.

It still gets a boost, just not a sun boost. And, given how Storm is a focus here, that bonus is liable to be stronger/more relevant.

Yes, but given the dangers of the plan I don't feel confident enough to think it will be enough, maybe if we had Jonny on 10 or if he had more experience using is powers I wouldn't have a problem with it, but as it is I cannot support it

This part is my problem, Fafnir is not a static object, but a 'living' and still somewhat intelligent being who just needs 1 good hit to turn us into pancakes
There is so much that can go wrong with the latter part of the plan that I cannot support it,
My goal is to keep everyone alive while we kill the dragon rather then looking cool while doing it

Yeah and I'm betting here on the sun boost giving it the much need kick to actually kill or at least wound the dragon as I'm sure do some other people
And if it fails King of the North has at least still the chance to trigger the Pheonix Force, while Skylance has nothing like that

My reasoning:

(1) I want to get the first person perspective on Rogue's attempt to drain the dragon.

(2) This seems like an appropriate moment for an overpowered beam attack. I don't think any of our options can kill the thing at this point, but this seems like a good choice that can put a hurt on it and slow things down or possibly open up vulnerabilities that somebody else can exploit.

(3) I'm really digging the iron spider plot line and want to see more Peter Parker.

Well argued. I'm still torn about whether or not to support Kings, as it doesn't utilize Storm, but you make good points. And I confess that the Phoenix shiny is shiny...though I wonder what happens when we hit 10 with the Phoenix fate...

Just for the record, I'm not especially predisposed towards Torch (my faves are Stark, Parker, JARVIS, and Wade) but I see the sense in not putting him front and centre of the Danger Zone. Keeping him out of it might also make Reed less hateful towards us. Or just make him hate us more for showboating. Who the fuck knows.
@Roarian got one last question: is Northstar unique in his ability to interact with our arc reactor, or could Storm, Torch & Rhodes assist in supplying energy?

We will probably get locked into the fate unless we have another one that equals it and go full Phoenix Force as the result
I'm currently aiming for Death & Phoenix Force 10, which should give us access to the white hot room without having to pick a side and going nuts as a result

Considering that it's light manipulation and not energy manipulation I suspect that Storm couldn't supply us with energy and would more likely just fry us
Rhodey on the other hand could support us, but given past experiences with the Phoenix force I expect that it has a rather high chance of being lethal without having a comic force stuffed inside your mind/body/where-ever the phoenix actually stays inside Tony

The intent here is more to turn his concentrated light into an even further concentrated doom laser - lightning could temporarily overcharge the suit for some powered up blasts, but odds are it would burn out some things (it didn't seem too great for Tony in Avengers either.) That's how I viewed it, anyway.

As for Johnny... Hypothetically I suppose you could try your luck with another round of getting set on fire & hoping the phoenix doesn't let you down, but I'd be hesitant. ;D
