Put in your notebook that Stark IS the inventive genius of the Marvel universe. Panther relies on a team of Wakandan scientists behind him. Stark works (actually to put in a correct word, thinks) alone.
Trying hard not to roll eyes as the overwhelming majority of his equiptment had military applications that in most cases could be tracked back to a variation on his armor tech for ironman,...
where were the rollerskates first used huh?
I accept that you are a fan of Ironman,.. and I'm not going to even try to do a pissing contest with you on this.
Until recently Ironman couldn't beat the BP because of the nature of the characters involved.
I STOPPED reading Iron man in disgust Years ago because for someone so brilliant he made some pretty bad blunders regularly.
He is also written as someone who can't learn from his mistakes on the human side,.. and is written with serious trust issues.
Panther has made Prep-time on a global scale work. His primary goal is the safety of his country. He's not motivated by the mundane.
His paranoia is acceptable to me because it only flows in one direction,.. and as long as you keep wakanda out of the mix he will go with that.
I also have ONE other problem with Stark:
If I solved a problem and invented stuff that would take away our dependance on oil, deviced secondary shielding that is adaptable for the use of firemen, policemen, etc,.. and made the kind of cash flow he has,.. I'da done more to improve where I lived.
as far as inventive? Sorry Reed outstrips him coming up with more stuff ON THE FLY than Stark ever has.
Heck I'll give Reed Richards Props,.. he has released variations of his unstable molecules formula to the superhero community at no obvious cost,... He has made himself available to ANY hero who can reach the baxter building,.. heck he loaned Luke Cage his pogo ship to collect a debt from Doom.
Stark?
Only his closest friends - and those folk go thru some mess to stay his friends.
I'm surprised he and Rodney are on speaking terms,..
i'm trying hard to not make this a bash Stark thread even with the mess happening in civil war right now.
