Character Bio - "Tony Stark is an inventive genius whose expertise in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science rivals that of Reed Richards, Hank Pym, and Bruce Banner, and his expertise in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering surpasses even them. He is regarded as one of the most intelligent characters in the Marvel Universe. He graduated with advanced degrees in physics and engineering at the age of 21 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and further developed his knowledge ranging from artificial intelligence to quantum mechanics as time progressed. Furthermore, this extends to his ingenuity in dealing with difficult situations such as difficult foes and deathtraps where he is capable of using his available tools like his suit in unorthodox and effective ways" (www.wikipedia.org).

-Rulings and Clarifications-
  • Q: If Iron Man (Mark V) is destroyed or an opposing player takes control of him, does this nullify the effects of Slave Circuit such as your ability to have multiple Iron Man: Tony Stark figures in the same army, or the change of their species to Android?
  • A: No, those effects begin at the start of the game and are for the remainder of the game, so they remain in effect even if Iron Man is destroyed or you lose control of Iron Man to an opponent. Only the portion of the Slave Circuit ability tied to Order Markers on Iron Man's card would be lost to you at that point.
  • Q: When I'm drafting other Tony Stark figures to use with the Slave Circuit ability, can I draft the same figure (such as Iron Man (Mark 1)) more than once?
  • A: Yes. The Slave Circuit ability "breaks" the rule preventing more than one Unique Hero from being drafted in the same army, allowing you to draft any number of the same Unique Hero that you choose in the same army as long as they're all Tony Stark figures.

-Combinations and Synergies-

Incoming Synergy:Outgoing Synergy:_________________________________________________________________

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-
  • Other Tony Stark figures become Androids due to the Slave Circuit special power. As Androids, these figures will have certain synergies: for example, they may be targeted for Ultron's Program Transmission 20 even if he is not wounded by Encephalo Ray Special Attack. In addition, they are immune to a number of special powers, such as Baron von Strucker's Death Spore Release and have certain vulnerabilities, such as Strucker's Satan's Claw Special Attack.

Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

NAME = IRON MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = TONY STARK

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ENGINEER
PERSONALITY = AMBITIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 280


SLAVE CIRCUIT
You may draft this figure into the same army with any other Tony Stark figures that have an Arrogant personality. If you do, for this game, those Tony Stark figures have the species of Android instead of what is listed on their cards. After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with this Iron Man, you may take a turn with one other Tony Stark figure you control.

PULSE BOLT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 3 + Special.
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.

ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURE
Iron Man cannot be targeted for non-adjacent attacks.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

I was hoping you would design him soon. I need him to fill out my army of Hulkbusters. :twisted:

Slave Circuit does basically make all other Iron Men uncommon Heroes correct?
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Basically, yes. It makes them Androids as well.
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Correct tickle.

You may want to replace "regardless" with "instead".

Any chance we can keep this design a secret from the public? They have no idea that they will soon be able to have an army made up completely of Iron Man. :D
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

I can test if it hits playtesting before the end of next week. :)
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

We'll make that a goal, then. I think the three of us would all be happy to test him. :) Griff - isn't the "regardless" language straight from Parmenio?
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

You don't have his secret identity listed, I would swap the positioning of the SA and the Jamming power and I think he is good to go.

I don't know if it is "straight off" but I know I actually suggested it when we were working on this power. However, I think "instead" clearly replaces the species where "regardless" could just validate the Android species without excluding the Human species. More clear is more clear, without regard to what was used on an ancient Valhalla Card. ;)

Secret Identity added. :) And I agree about the power positions. I can get away with that edit during the breathing period, right?

But if we use the "ancient" Valhalla card (and, yeah, it is straight off of Parmenio, I just checked) we get to rely on the "officialness" of it if people ask questions, and piggyback on their FAQs as well. I don't really feel that one reads more clearly than the other, so I'm inclined to stick with the "official" language.
Oh, by the way, you had some comic art picked out for this guy, right?

This design looks solid. Nice write-up, Bats!

Thanks! I think this is the one Griff and I had the most trouble brainstorming initially, but we were really digging how this would let Iron Man become a one man faction.
I don't suppose you have the figure listed in the OP? I'd soo love a photo or two! :)
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

I have the figure Bats! I got it a while back, good choice for this design as he is the only one that you couldn't make an android because the helmet is removed. I'll get some pictures either tomorrow or Friday.
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Bats, go ahead and get into an inclined position, because I am not letting this go. I would much rather do what we need to to obtain clarity on a card rather than hold onto ancient text that will need an FAQ.

Current:

I have a blue car in front of my house. You see that blue car. You know it is there. I tell you that I have a green car in front of my house regardless of the blue car that you see. - Now, my statement does not delete the blue car that you see, it simply means that there is also a green car there.
We need for the species of Android to replace the species of Human, because the theme behind SLAVE CIRCUIT is that Tony is in one suit while radio controlling the other suits. They are not Humans any longer, they are Androids ONLY.
My suggested change is simple and handles this transition from an old power to something different entirely, but if you don't like it for some reason, fine - suggest something else. But how it is currently, is not going to work because the "regardless" text does NOT cancel out the Human species like we need it to.
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Thanks, Tickle! :) I appreciate it. I'm pretty sure Griff made the call on the mini for this but I agree, it makes a ton of sense!
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Griff - is it your interpretation that when Parmenio grants his disciplined influence to figures their personalities are not replaced by disciplined, but have disciplined added as an extra personality? I've never read/played the power that way.
I'll happily put this up as a poll, though. I don't think the change is necessary, but it's not a deal breaker for me either. So I'll happily go with the will of the group on this one.

In the Slave Circuit Power, do you prefer:

A) The word "regardless," based on Parmenio's Disciplined Influence

or

B) The word "instead," based on Griffin's blue car/green car analogy?
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

B, I don't see any reason not to go with the extra clarity and we have practically broken ties with Valhalla.
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Comic Art Options? (Not sure what this armor should look like. I'm basing this on the mini):

Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

That last one looks pretty good to reflect the mini! I'll link your post to the OP, thanks. I was pretty sure Griff actually posted some comic art somewhere specifically for this, though.
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Can I make this card? I have a cool idea for making a background for the mini that will make him look like he is at a Stark Industries press release.
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Hey, I won't stop ya. :) Just so long as you're around when the time comes!
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

Well I'll probably be off at school by then, so unless the campus internet goes out, I should be around pretty regularly. (won't have any exams this soon)
 
Re: The Book of Iron Man Mark V

I have that mini too. I figure you can't have too many pics to choose from, so I will take some as well.
