Yeah, we're taking the whole "reboot" concept pretty literally this time around.

I'm going to read one or two volumes of Runaways, since I've always meant to. If I dig it I'll totally go for one of those little brats.
Goddamnit, I'm drawing a complete blank on who to apply for.

I'll apply for a Runaway if you remove that avatar and burn it.

ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG APPLICATION
Screen Name: Matt Murdock
Character you would like to play: Tony Stark aka Ultimate Iron Man
Has this character appeared in the Ultimate comic books? If not, how will you 'Ultimatize' him or her?: Iron Man has appeared in several of the Ultimate books, including Ultimates.
Is the character a hero, a villain, or walking the line?: A hero.
The big question - Why this character?: I've been playing him for two (three? I've lost count how many) seasons, and I'm a sucker for consistency. I really just love the character.
Brief background information of the character: Born to billionaire industrialist Howard Stark, Tony Stark was a child of privilege. Prior to the birth of their son, the Starks were developing a biological personal armor coating when a lab accident with a regenerative virus fatally infected Stark's mother. The virus mutated her unborn child, Tony, growing additional neural tissue throughout his body which augmented his intelligence while causing chronic pain. She died, but Howard saved Tony by coating him in their bacterial bio-armor, which consumed ordinary skin but not Tony's constantly regenerating neural flesh. Business rival Zebediah Stane married Howard's scheming ex-wife Loni, with whom he stole Stark's company, and spent years trying to seize the bio-armor. As a teenager, Tony befriended fellow prep school student Jim Rhodes and began developing his own "Iron Man" armor technology. Becoming a wealthy celebrity and science prodigy, young Tony founded multi-billion dollar design and manufacturing corporation Stark International. He also became an infamous playboy, alcoholic, and womanizer, suffering from recurring depression and secretly learning he was dying from an inoperable brain tumour.
Spurred by his tumor to make the most of whatever time he had left, Stark began doing more charitable good works, relocated to his Manhattan property and agreed to join the Ultimates, a S.H.I.E.L.D.-sponsored superhero team. Forming an unlikely friendship with anti-corporate teammate Thor, Stark helped subdue the monstrous Hulk and save Earth from the extraterrestrial Chitauri.
Powers, abilities, and noteworthy equipment:
What color and font would your character use? (Please fully type the font out): Tahoma, 2, Regular, Red for Stark, Tahoma, 2, Bold, Dark red for Iron Man
How many times per week do you plan on posting?: Multiple
Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype! boards: Yes
Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialog:
Iron Man strode through the streets of New York, stumbling left and right. It was snowing, and, somewhere, someone was playing "Do They Know It's Christmastime?" by Band Aid just as loudly as their stereo could pump it out. Stark twitched beneath the suit as the armor automatically pumped pure Patron into his blood stream, virtually exponentially increasing his BAC. He grinned stupidly, like an idiot, beneath the metal faceplate of his helmet. As the liquor hit his system, he had to lean against a nearby wall to steady himself.
Iron Man glanced around, barely able to stand up straight. He stared upwards at the pink sky, illuminated by the last gasps of sunlight, and dozens of Yuletide lights shining brightly. Seeing all of the folks gathered around him, snapping their camera lenses, Stark began to get a headache.
He rocketed upwards, flaring his boots.
"Yaaaaheehehehoohoaohaohahaha!" He chuckled, grinning like a child. Then, quickly seeing something in his path, he added, "Ohp. Building."

"Yaaaaheehehehoohoaohaohahaha!" He chuckled, grinning like a child. Then, quickly seeing something in his path, he added, "Ohp. Building."
Stark rocketed upwards, narrowly missing a window. Iron Man's luck, however, didn't hold up. He clipped a corner of the building, flying off course and hurtled towards the ground. As the suit pumped more alcohol into his system, Stark could only chuckle.
He slammed into the hood of a car within seconds and tried to push himself up, but found it difficult. Within a minute, though, he had staggered onto his feet, only to see two policemen staring at him in shock, as he had just destroyed the hood of their cruiser.
"Wh...ho..." One stammered.
"Who pays for this?" The other asked, rhetorically.
"Boys!" Stark said, pointing awkwardly at each of them. Behind the faceplate of his suit, one of his eyes drooped lazily to the left, "I'm Iron Man! I piss cash! Ho--How---Ho---"
They winced as he slumped backwards and leaned over his knees at the same time in some sort of serpentine motion.
"HURRARGH!" He cried violently from within his helmet.
The officers exchanged nervous glances.
Metal scraped angrily along metal as Stark ran his armored forearm across his faceplate, causing surface damage to the suit. He stumbled about for a moment or two before righting himself.
"Iron Man, Mr. Stark..." One began, "Are you currently under the influence of any controlled substances?"
At this, Iron Man stiffened awkwardly.
"Me? Boys!" He said, throwing his arms in the air, and having to correct his balance afterward, "I'm Tony Stark! I have resp...respooon....duties!"
The police officers looked at each other awkwardly.
"Mr. Stark, can you touch the index finger of your right hand to the center of your faceplate for us?" One asked, politely.
Iron Man stood there for several seconds, weighing his options. On the one had, he could run. There wasn't a chance that the officers could catch him, and he had enough armor that the police would need the army's assistance to take him out. That much power for little more than a routine traffic stop? Not likely. The other choice, was, of course, for him to comply and simply touch his finger to the center of his helmet. It was a routine which he had been through many, many times before. In the end, this is what Stark decided would be best.
Then, he slammed his entire hand into his own face, knocking himself backwards onto the pavement in a giggling heap.

If I may I might have a look over his place then, rethink some things and the way Bendis chose to use him.
Will re-send how I plan to ultimize him and the sample post tomorrow.

I'd say we wait until we get the number of approved players ready to post in the double digits. Which actually wouldn't be too long, since we're up to eight already.
