The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 2

[WolfCypher]

What is the most recent Marvel Encyclopedia?

 

[Sundancer]

Is this Danny Rand?

 

[runawayboulder]

It looks like one of his unlockable skins from Ultimate Alliance 2.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

and that skin wasn't actually anything Danny ever wore in the comics. I believe it was based off of a previous Iron Fist that appeared in the Bru/Fraction run.

 

[runawayboulder]

Since we're kinda talking about Marvel games, when in the hell is the Marvel MMORPG coming out? I'm gonna go peruse through the games forum....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That costume belonged to Bei Bang-Wen, a previous Iron Fist from the Opium Wars.

 

[Anubis]

And like all Iron Fists, he was awesome.

 

[CConn]

To me, Iron Fist always sounded like something Zed would've done to Ving Rhames if that scene in Pulp Fiction had gone a bit differently.

 

[Anubis]

Zed's dead baby.

Why wouldnt Tony Stark give his old Armors to Avengers and associates who don't really have powers, like Hawkeye or Black Widow.

Why wouldnt he make stuff like Night Thrasher did in new warriors for depowered mutants?

Or he could simply train air force pilots (etc.) to use his old armor and tech and have a super powered army in the 40 sets of old armor.

 

[Anubis]

Cuz he's stingy as hell.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he made that s***, it's his. Why should he be compelled to share it with others? He became Iron Man to protect the weak and helpless. If those other b****es are so helpless that they need his armor to be heroes, they should just get out of the hero game altogether.

Back in the 90s Tony's cybernetics was made to fit his brain patterns when Rhodey started wearing one of his armors without recalibrating it sent him nuts so doubt many superheroes would be asking for Tony's armor t:

But seriously Tony doesn't seem to like to share his tech that much. His happy to let his BFF's Rhodey and Pepper wear some armors.

I think Because of the Armor wars when Tony found out Hammer had stole a bunch of his designs and sold them to just about every hi tech supervillain in the Marvel universe he became more protective of his tech. He felt alot of guilt over all the trouble his technology had caused in the wrong hands.

Tony did provide a Misty Knights Bionic arm which I'm surprised some writer hasn't retcon yet as something Tony did because he wanted to sleep with Misty.

They may not want it? Both characters are pretty agile and their combat skills come from their mobility and speed. Clunky armor would kill that. Can you imagine Hawkeye trying to hold and shoot a bow and arrow accurately with Tony's old armor? He's great at what he does now. Yeah he'd be more powerful and durable with IM armor, but he'd probably be less effective on the field with it as thats not his expertise. Ditto for BW and other Avengers

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I imagine we could trace all of it back to the Armor Wars. It might benefit his teammates to have armor, but the more people running around with his tech, the easier it is for someone naughty to eventually get their hands on it. Suppose Hawkeye drops that Starktech bow in a fight and some villain scurries off with it before Damage Control or whoever comes to clean up? Or the Black Widow gets captured on one of her many spy missions and Iran or North Korea suddenly has a working Iron Man armor?

Plus, consider the fact that these are all people who've been effectively fighting crime with their own resources for years now. How do you think Hawkeye, for example, would take it if Tony came and offered him some armor so he's better protected in the field? "What are you tryin' to say, tin man? I can't handle myself out there like I've been doing for years now? Not everyone needs a high-tech crutch like you, Stark. Some of us are just that good."

 

[chamber-music]

Also Tony is invented his armor so he can fix it when it goes wrong. There have been times when Rhodeys War Machine armor has got messed up and he has no idea how to fix it.

Everyone would be extremely reliant on Tony to maintain their armor.

Tony keeping his tech keeps him unique. Its not like Hank Pym who handed out his Pym particles formula to everyone.

 

[Anubis]

Also, Hawkeye used to kick Stark's ass all the time. Armor be damned.

In order:
Tony, Reed, and Pym don't like to share with anyone whoe's not a close friend or apprentice / Protege.

For Free? Really? Tony Stark???

I don't see him releasing even old tech out of his control to ex-fighterjocks who could sell the tech/ concepts for millions.

1- Well Pym particles have been used to help several avengers directly Scott Lang, Wasp, Hawkeye (as goliath, which totally debunks the Hawkeye wouldn't want added tech/powers argument), Bill foster..not to mention helped other avengers micronize and store gear which they have talked about before. i think even Iron man used Pym particals in his armor, but I'm not positive. So Hank's done quite a bit to boost up his mates.

2- well the direct interest is that Iron Man goes out and doesnt want to get killed..having more powerful people around him is a direct interest to him. At any rate it's not like Tony is an Avenger for money reasons.

3- Thats why you have contracts/ military guys..the government does this regularly and it's highly realistic..not like F-22 pilots get keepsies on their jets or the blueprints. Private companies have done this with the government too.


You can also look at what Stark could do for his teammates..we don't even have to go the route of full armor...but you could give hawkeye implants that improve him or gloves/etc that imrove his strength. I gotta think Stark has helped him with his arrows..I mean where does he get the tech there (i believe he's used pym particles for his arrows and quiver too)


So point is..Hank Pym does do stuff...Tony Stark doesnt...WHY?

 

[Anubis]

F**kin' told you why.

1. Scott lang didn't get permission originally. Wasp and Hawkeye Qualify as close friends, Bill Foster was someone who worked with Pym on the development of improvement on Pym Particles.

2. Everytime Someone asks Tony for a free mech upgrade,.. he whines about the cost,.... Unless you are a close friend, (By Starks standards) Give him credit,.. he will get up off the tech to protect a friend,.. (safety, etc,..), But "give up tech FOR FREE???? It would take a serious retcon.

3. You can't piece out an f-22 like you can Iron Man armor.

I'm not fussing,.. I'm just saying that these three are known for this. Yes, Yes,.. Reed keeps strict control over his tech because so few can even understand or use it properly, (Anybody else remember the Unstable molecule story?), but he has tech that would CHANGE the world,.. And his wife doesn't smack him upside the head often enough to share the important stuff. As many times as he has manipulated their powers,.. Reed should be able to DEPOWER or ENPOWER anyone he wants. He has DEVELOPED FTL travel,..
(Okay - The X-men have it from the Shiar, The Avengers can do it thru sheer muscle power, Power Pack and a few others have an Alien connection,.. But REED figured it out.)
All three could renovate the world.

lol

 

[Wolfwood]

That'd be ****ing awesome if "Keepsies" was a thing in the Air Force. Hell, in any military division.

 

[Panthro]

Why does taking over the mantle of Captain Marvel require Carol Danvers get a haircut?

 

[runawayboulder]

I don't think it's a haircut, it's more of a ponytail. The promo art has been crap.
