_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Tony Stark is not a complicated man; he likes speed, girls, weapons, girls, making money, girls, and things that go boom. Oh, and he likes girls.
Tony Stark is the owner of Stark Industries; a weapons development company that holds standing contracts with the US.
When Tony Stark was kidnapped by terrorist, he was forced to create a weapon of mass destruction. During his abduction, Stark's heart was severely injured. Instead of working on the weapon that his captors had told him to create, he secretly built a device that could save his heart and also power a complicated suit of armor. He used this suit to escape, and then later he would use its unique engineering to create other suits of armor that the world would come to know as Iron Man.

Card Updates:
21 November 2020 - Propulsion Boots wording update

[Griffin]

NAME = IRON MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = TONY STARK

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

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 70

PROPULSION BOOTS
Instead of his normal move, Iron Man may move up to 5 spaces with Propulsion Boots. When moving with Propulsion Boots, Iron Man has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 12 levels in a single move. Iron Man rolls 3 fewer attack dice on any turn that he uses Propulsion Boots.

MAGNETIC TURBO INSULATOR
After moving and before attacking, you may choose a small or medium figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Iron Man. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, you may place the chosen figure on any unoccupied space within 4 spaces of its original placement. The chosen figure will not take any leaving engagement attacks but will take any falling damage that may apply.

SUPER STRENGTH

For the mini - are there none in the realm of Heroclix that work? I'd prefer to go pre-painted if possible.
For the leftbox - looks good.
For the powers - Repulsor Beam - I wonder if it shouldn't say "Chosen figures moved by Repulsor Beam must be placed on a space that is further away from Iron Man than their original placement."
- Super Leap 5 - Since the distance and the height are both changed from Super Leap, might a new title be in order, like Rocket Boots 5 or Rocket Leap 5?

1. This is the only Clix I can find, and even it would have to be repainted. At least the figure I chose is HIGHLY available and very cheap.
   
   
2. Thanks
3. Good wording advice for clarity.
4. I am open to power name suggestions. Propulsion Boots or something.

[IAmBatman]

What color is Mark I Iron Man's suit supposed to be?
Propulsion Boots or Rocket Boots are both fine to me.

[Griffin]

Silver.

[IAmBatman]

So which Iron Man is that, then?

[Griffin]

That gold one is Mark II.

[IAmBatman]

OK, sounds like we need to save that mini for Mark II Iron Man, then. Meaning the Handful of Heroes approach is the best one.

Do you think that we would really want to create different versions of Stealth Suit or Hulk Buster? I don't.

You never know, we might. Obviously not for every armor, but one may turn up where we want to do that. Some of them can be quite different. But that wasn't really my point, I meant that "Mark I" by itself may not enough of an identifier, since there are multiple "Mark I" armors. Perhaps we need the type of armor in there, too?

I thought there was a gray iron man Heroclix. But I'm pretty sure it, and the Mark II pictured above, are very rare and expensive.

Great paint job on yours, Griffin!

[IAmBatman]

What is his default armor line (non-specialized) called?
I've always heard it called just "Mark I" or "Mark V" or so forth.

[Hahma]

Looks good Griff. Propulsion Boots sounds more like tech terms Tony would use, Rocket Boots sounds more generic, maybe save for a less techy unit.
