The Book of Iron Man (2020)
 

_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - A descendant of Tony Stark from the far-off future year of err... 2020, Arno Stark is the heir to Tony's fortune as well as his technological genius. Arno created his own technologically-advanced Iron Man armor and set out to become a mercenary, but eventually ended up on a more heroic path. Thanks to the power of time travel, he's crossed paths with modern day heroes like Spider-Man, Machine Man, and Iron Man.

NAME = IRON MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = ARNO STARK

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = INDUSTRIALIST
PERSONALITY = ARROGANT

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 6
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 320

STARK TECH ARSENAL SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4 + Special. Attack 4 + Special.
Before attacking with this special attack, you may choose to do one of the following:
• add 2 to the range;
• subtract 1 shield from whatever the defending figure rolls;
• count the minimum number of spaces between Iron Man and the defending figure and add one die to this special attack for each space counted; or
• after attacking, if the defending figure received one or more wounds, place it on any empty space within 3 spaces of its previous placement. The moved figure will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

After attacking with this special attack, Iron Man may attack with it one additional time. Iron Man may not attack the same figure twice in one turn.

TEMPORAL DEFENSE
Once per round, if Iron Man or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of Iron Man is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Temporal Defense special power, and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may reveal and remove any numbered Order Marker on this card. After removing the numbered Order Marker, the opponent's turn immediately ends, and the attacked figure receives no wounds.

Background:

Some kinda future city skyscape? Ideally dark/nighttime/dystopian. Extra double bonus points for retro future vibe.

If he's from the year 2020, shouldn't his armor have received some upgrades in tech over the previous Iron Man suits we have had? I'm thinking he needs a voice to text power for keeping up with his twitter account while fighting. Posting directly to Snapchat when he punches a guy in the face would really bring that villain public shame and hurt his morale to the tune of -1 att. & def.

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

That’s so 2019. :p

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

By 2020 all the teens are gonna be into time travel and huge special attacks.

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

He should be able to use that old person face filter on villains. :-P

Cool to see an Iron Man with Temporal Defense, though!

Edit: Should he be storming Area 51? Or will we be over that by January?

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

I think we may be under that by January.

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

Where do you think he gets the time travel tech from? He finds some alien tech at Area 51 of course!!!

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

For a background, I'd try and snag something from the Tomorrowland movie, since that has similar "outdated vision of the future" vibes.

Liked him in draft form, still a fan now.

Re: The Book of Iron Man (2020) (Breathing)
 

That's definitely the right sort of aesthetic, but my instinct is to go for more of a nighttime thing, like the comic art.

Looking at the bio, would Mercenary be a good class here?
