THE FOLLOWING IS A MIX OF COMIC CANON AND MY OWN CANON. Really, it's me trying to make sense of the comics and add in a few fun elements.
RECAP
Tony Stark has always been something of a transhuman in mindset, having a long history body modification. Some time ago Tony had been involved in a great superhuman Civil War (again), was killed by feminaziconfessed rooster-headwall-crawling menace Carol Danvers. While Tony's body spent several months in a coma, a contingency brain backup that Tony had made came alive as an artificial intelligence and filled in for him (LINK). Later, Tony Stark revived in a newly cloned/reformed body.
Upon his rival, the newly copied Tony had a new appreciation for what it meant to be digitally immortal and post-singularity, and determined he needed to discover an easier way than Extremis for everyone to share such a gift. Plus, he had that AI to merge with again. To that end, Tony and his AI extension teamed up to develop a new brain-computer-interface ("BCI" - LINK) called a "neural lace" and other minimally evasive cybernetics.
Now, Tony Stark has a lace that allows him to plug his brain into external devices: cyberpunk style, baby! Besides allowing him to control his armor mentally, this also allows Tony to sync with his AI-backup. This means Tony can multitask and operate his company subconsciously, while still galavanting as Iron Man!
Man and machine together, future proof.
NEURAL LACE
Physical Specs Undoubtedly the most important and most invasive implant, the hub of all else, is the neural lace. Physically, the lace is a graphene mesh of billions of nano-scale electrodes laid over the outer layer of the brain's neocortex like a net. On the other end of these electrodes is an array of memristors (@11:00 LINK) interwoven into the mesh for baseline processing/memory. Over time, the brain begins to interact with and grow around lace, connecting synapses to carbon electrodes all on its own. The brain accepts it as if it is additional neural tissue, feeding data directly in and out of the brain using the brain's own language!
On top of this base mesh, other components can be more easily added or removed depending on user preference, including in Tony's case... ACIS processing, encryption chips, laminated graphene battery, additional data storage, telepathic/electromagnetic shielding, and leads to other cybernetics and external interface plugs.
As time passes Tony's brain will adapt and grow more connected to the lace, increasing performance and bandwidth. It only gets better from here...
Security While others may choose otherwise, Tony's lace is air-gapped. To interface with other machines, Tony must physically plug into secured StarkTech (such as a headset or Iron Man helmet) using interface ports well-disguised beneath the skin on his head.
The lace is hardwire programmed to only accept commands from Tony, and is mostly graphene/carbon constructed to safely pass through metal detectors (and thwart Magneto...) as well as faraday shielded from interference. It also hosts a low-power telepathy jammer and antenna (looking at you, Emma) that can allow telepathic communication while preventing intrusion (up until a point... Relying on armoring up for more powerful psionic protection).
TONY STARK'S SYNCING & MULTITASKING
Time to plug in.
Most of the time, Tony and his AI duplicate are separate and the AI is dormant. While AI-Tony is completely capable of autonomous action (like attending meeting or picking up someone from their home), he tries to stay dormant when not plugged into meat-Tony in order to preserve a continuity of consciousness (ie, so they won't bump into each other's actions).
When plugged in and connected however the two sync updated memories and then act as one. One Tony, two brains. In fact, leveraging computer multitasking,Tony can be extremely productive this way, putting in the equivalent of 200-300 hour work weeks regularly. While the meat-Tony is sleeping, playing video games, or just about anything else the Tony-AI can be answering emails, attending meetings, researching complex topics, designing inventions, or more. All the updates are summarized and downloaded straight into Tony's brain via the lace, so he has memories of all the activities as if he'd done them himself.
Tony will often sync by plugging himself into a special headset (LINK), a simple wire, or into an Iron Man armor helmet itself. He even built a sleeping mask to allow syncing while he sleeps!
SUBDERMALS
While the Lace is clearly the hub of Tony's cybernetics, he has several accessory implants at the subdermal level, beneath or within skin, all easily installed and networked together for as much trouble as getting a tattoo. In fact, Tony's teamed up with Riri Williams (LINK) to develop these, as she's taken to tech-tattoos as one of her passion projects. These include: -Piezoelectric circuits and laminated graphene battery stamps over ribs generate power for implants -Inductive charging circuit on lower neck as auxiliary power source -Control console tattoo at inner wrist (LINK) for admin-only control of cybernetics suite -Hidden bio-monitoring sensor tattoos -Security lock-chip on left outer wrist -Bone-conducting universal translator behind ears (LINK & LINK) -Various emporary medical smart patches as needed (LINK) -Sternum mounting clips (to affix detachable arc reactor onto chest) (LINK) -Nanofleet support nodes in upper forearms.
NANOFLEET
While most Tony's implants are "standard" to what he envisions consumer products might one day become, his in particular also supports a small fleet of free floating nanobots (LINK & LINK), for additional health improvement, processing and security. Even though Tony's body is somewhat replaceable now, he's still an extremely high-reward target so his security extends even down to the smallest corners!
OOC: If you all don't mind, I want to say something that's been on my mind for a bit. I'm still very aware that Blade will probably come back for revenge, and you should be too.
And honestly, if he's gunning for me? You know what he's most likely to try to do to me? The same damn thing that every crazy person tries to do to hurt me: make up sex rumors. Seriously, every time someone has a grudge against me, they go straight for the "honey pot and slander" technique. Like clockwork.
Why make peace with me when you can send your female friend to flirt with me, try to get me in a compromising situation, and then at her very first opportunity accuse me of something terrible that never happened? (And yes, this exact scenario has happened to me at least twice before.)
So if you don't mind, I'd like to come out a little now, while the whole community is being supportive. I hope you all can extend a little of that comfort and forgiveness my way.
*ahem*
1. I'm a flirt. No duh, most of you guessed that much pretty quickly. lol I'm a pervert. I'm really kinky. I write erotic stuff privately from time to time. I'm willing to try just about anything once. I think about stuff you don't want to know about. lol 2. And I'm harmless. Here are my values: I'm extremely concerned with respect and boundaries. I just want everyone to have a good time. I'm not out to hurt anyone. I certainly don't need to be pushy or mean. I don't go where I'm not wanted, I don't flirt where it's not welcomed. 3. Privacy is very important to me. It's not that I'm doing anything wrong, it's that it's none of your damn business. 4. I take pride in being a gentleman. I'm also very interested in gender equality and dynamics. Women fascinate me. And sometimes they like it when you pull their hair a little. 5. And, if I ever err in any of those... My door is always open. It's very easy to get an apology out of me.
If you ever hear anything to the contrary...It's probably Blade.
And even if it's not him specifically, it's probably some other crazy person who'd rather strike at me and be angry than come to me and talk about our differences.
Seriously. It's only RP, we could talk it out over coffee. But noooooooo, some of you want to rant. And you can't call me a god-modder, can't call me a bad writer. The only thing you can do is lie, or try to shame me for what's none of your damn business.
Anyway... I don't want the crazies to have that kind of power or leverage, or to frankly waste my time. So I wanted to put this a bit more out in the open on my terms, not theirs.
Of course it's still my damn business, I'm not going to share graphic details or anything (you don't want to know), and I pray you all to respect my privacy as I try to respect yours.
What I'm asking for is your acceptance, your understanding, and then for you to not give a sh*t about it. lol That's not too much of an indulgence to ask for, is it?
Anyway. Thank you all for listening. It's good to get that off my chest.
Now if you'll all excuse me, somewhere there's an orgy pit that needs to be scraped and buttered.
A friend of mine, Blade (∑ternal Justice), decided to post something in regards to women. I feel very strongly about this also, so I contributed in my repost. I've since referred several women to this bulletin, all of whom were encouraged by this. So, I screenshot and permanently post it here. It's not done doing good yet.
"Boobs are great, lets not sully those who wield them." -Myself
A suit that represented a paradigm shift in armor construction was the Bleeding Edge armor, which was a morphing liquid smart metal that was integrated directly into Tony Stark's biology. The major drawback of this suit, however, was that it traded performance for flexibility with it's liquid design. Next Tony went in the opposite direction, building a black and gold suit built entirely from solid parts again, which focused on performance. It was highly modular, and could hot-swap new components to change mission specs, but was committed to a design once in the field.
A mix of this was the Bleeding Edge Hyrbid armor - a solid skeletal base (containing structure and essential systems) skinned with a reservoir of morphing liquid. This allowed for several component pieces with a high degree of flexibility and independence, but performance on the crucial base systems. (Implementation and suit-up was very similar to the MCU Mark 42 & Mark 43.)
After developing a new Space Armor Mk III with a built in warp drive, as well as an accompanying armory shuttle, Stark set out into the alien cosmos on a series of adventures. One such adventure began with Tony and his head of security, James Bond, winning a vast swath of formerly-Skrull territory in a card game on Zeltros. Elated, the two split up to begin exploring their new territory.
THIS STORY IS STILL ONGOING! Come join the fun! Do not let the length intimidate you. Space Explorers works like a long never ending story, where we occasionally pause and skip forward in time and just keep going. Only the recent stuff matters, if at all.
In the comics, Tony Stark returned from space with new ideas, and promptly began putting them to the test. He purchased the remains of Mandarin City, the island city-state of his deceased nemesis, located off the coast of China, and began to rebuild the city with futuristic technology and social ideas. It was renamed "Troy" In a nutshell, Troy infrastructure was focused on decentralization and modularity: for each property to be self-sufficient but also interconnected with its neighbor, sharing excess resources with each other via self-growing/self-configuring cables. Like a slime-mold.
At one point, Kalu the Hutt sought out and captured Tony Stark, wanting him to help create a large Hutt-funded super weapon, the Darksaber. Essentially, it was only the cannon of a Death Star and the bare minimum crew housing, bare bones gun in space. This effort was foiled when several heroes intervened and Tony Stark escaped, using components in his lab to build a new Mark 0 suit out of X-Wing components. He and friends found the Naboo Royal Yacht in the hanger, a collector's item, and fled with it. Tony kept this as his personal luxury ship for a while.
Somewhere around now, Tony adopted a saw whet owl named Olive, who continues to be f'ing adorable. She hunts the mice at Stark Tower to near extinction, although her favorite treat by far are the olives from Tony's martini glass, which lead to her name.
-Superior Iron Man
During the events of Marvel's AXIS, several heroes and villains had their moral compasses inverted, with villains becoming heroes and heroes becoming villains. Tony Stark was now free of guilt, rather than driven by it. Liking the way he was, he was smart enough to avoid being returned to normal and remained a glorified sociopath! This - "Thomas Hobbes's Tony Stark" - was the Superior Iron Man. Complimenting his new mindset was a brand new armor - an attention-grabbing chrome suit made from a liquid smart metal composed of a synthetic symbiote, linked to and under the complete control of Tony's mind.
As the Superior Iron Man, Tony went on several champagnes and engaged in several projects to make the world a better place - according to him.
He promptly set up a new location in San Francisco, where he sold the citizens an app-enabled version of Extremis at a gouged high price, and controlled crime through an unprecedented surveillance system. There he met and befriended criminal Diane Alim, the "Catwoman Of San Francisco", and allowed her to continue her criminal activities because she was "mostly harmless and interesting, also she has a nice rear."
Other projects of his included... -A failed attempt to take over Themyscira, which resulted in his highjacking the Justice League Watchtower. (Modernizing Paradise) -Successfully maneuvering himself as vassal of Asgard, and head of their weapon forges. (Party In Asgard!) -Taking over the planet Ryloth (to be discussed in detail next) (Iron Planet Started Jan 5th, 2015.) -Attacking Superman when his power was severely weakened, defeating him, and implanting a Kryptonite bomb in his stomach. Why? Because Kryptonians and their unchecked power scare Tony, Superior or not. (UNCHAINED vs SUPERIOR)
In his travels through space, Tony Stark had encountered and developed an infatuation for the Twi'lek species, particularly their women. With new ambition and a disregard for civil liberties, the Superior Iron Man gathered old Trade Federation droids, threw in some of his Iron Legion, and a pinch of James Bond for help, and conquered the planet Ryloth! Stark's goal was to improve the planet, by force, and leave. Yes, he did not intend to stay ruler, his desire was to make the planet as lovely as its women, and then leave and collect tax-funded commissions for the rest of his life. He even promised to make it "rain on Ryloth", a barren tidally locked world.
His efforts were challenged by the Inquisitor, sent by the Empire itself, who came armed with a Super Star Destroyer! Iron Man, James Bond, and company resisted. Iron Man and James Bond successfully killed the Inquisitor and seized his Super Star Destroyer, and Bond gifted the Inquisitor's lightsaber to Tony as a trophy. Next, they were attacked by General Grevious and a wizard, who were fought off also.
Later, Stark's plans had neared completion. He had used droid and forced Twi'lek labor to build new cities, new green house domes, other infrastructure projects, and a series of warp gate rings. These rings were launched into space, where they sucked up icy comets in the system and flung them at Ryloth's scorched day side (it's a tidally locked world - Google it). This time, Tony Stark was unopposed and successfully added many tons of water to Ryloth's ecosystem, enough to make it rain, as promised. Terraforming by Tony Stark.
With Ryloth a little bit terraformed, with new beautiful cities and infrastructure, and with free Extremis, Ryloth was a much more pleasant planet to live on. As promised, Tony Stark packed up his stuff, left the Trade Federation droids and Super Star Destroyer in the Twi'leks' hands to form the base of their new navy, and left. The Twi'leks, initially rebellious and distrusting, were happy for their freedom but also thankful and admiring of the alien overlord, Tony Stark.
The entire time Tony had been inverted, he had been preparing for this, scheming, building up to this.
He had created a robotic clone of King Loki - whom he was aware of after finding him in Asgardian prisons he snooped through while a Vassal. He had invented new weapons for Asgard to gain their trust, and skimmed a small percentage of the armory for himself in the form of Uru armor plating for his own Iron Legion drones - now specialized in combating magical creatures. He had researched ancient texts and history, enough to recreate a grimoire spell book which claimed that Shuma-Gorath was the inventor of magic, and that all it's sorcery and use in all pantheons slowly empowered him. He had hijacked Reed Richard's time machine, and hurled the fake grimoire into the distant past to age it to authenticity.
He sent the clone Loki, Cloki, on a series of strikes at modern technology an infrastructure, culminating with an attack on Tony Stark himself. One youth, an alchemist named Chris Steele, had even given his arm to save Tony's life. Stark had a backup plan to survive his injuries, but let Chris cripple himself just to complete the illusion of his innocence. In the chaos, Cloki left behind the Grimoire, leading everyone to believe that magic was empowering a force which sought to destroy the universe, leading to magic's very swift prohibition and legislation against it. In the wake of this anti-magic moral panic, Tony Stark offered Troy's decentralized and renewable infrastructure technology to the nations of Earth, marking it as a "terrorism proof, magic proof" to the U.N. However, there was not enough money in the world to pay for a spontaneous overnight overhaul of that magnitude, so Tony had offered to do it in exchange for every nation's debt.
And just like that, Tony Stark owned the national debt of just about every country in the world, and the monopoly on almost all resources (power, water, food, ect...), while giving himself new avenues to spread Extremis.
Tony Stark had created a moral panic, and then exploited it to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
But soon everything fell apart. The younger Loki, Agent Of Asgard, gathered allies on a quest to summon and discover the TRUE nature of magic itself, while other magic users rebelled against this new anti-magic prejudice. Stark made the mistake of allying with Doctor Doom, who had rejected magic in favor of science.
Many people died. And, also Olive the owl died.
During a siege on the Sanctum Sanctorum, the trademarked home of Dr. Strange was destroyed while Stark Sentinels decimated magic users and opposing heroes. Loki returned to Earth now with the ingredients he needed for one final spell, fighting off and killing Gorilla Grodd. Iron Man killed Captain America. Soon after he was betrayed by Doctor Doom, who had stolen the power of the real Shuma-Gorath, christening himself "Shuma-Doom" (go on, say it out loud), and using his newfound power over reality to command Stark's living armor to eat him alive.
Loki had cast his spell, and met Shuma-Gorath's foil. If Shuma was the embodiment of all dark magics, then the Heart Of Magic was the embodiment of the light and benevolent mystics. There, he became empowered to be the God of Stories, rather than merely a god of little lies. In this mystic scape with the Heart Of Magic - which was a unicorn, by the way - Loki selected a new story, and erased the physical existence of all of Superior Iron Man's sins.
He resurrected the dead and restored Tony's original morality.
With the world put back to normal, but remembering it's mistakes and traumas, Loki disappeared into the ethos of rumors and whispers and movie trailers...
Remembering every detail of his life while inverted, Stark promptly fell into a deep depression. He lost many billions of dollars in settlements and lawsuits, avoiding jail at the cost of most of his fortune. As he realized just how much people now hated him, how little they wanted his future, he became suicidal. What's a futurist without a future?
A hallucination of Yinsen, brought on by ingesting chemicals under his kitchen sink, eventually gave Stark some life-saving encouragement. Coffee from Olive, the owl, sure helped too. Snapping out of it, he began to slowly tinker, bit by bit, until six months later he had tinkered his way to a brand new armor, a sassy new A.I. named F.R.I.D.A.Y., and a new outlook on life.
Depression eventually progressing into rage, and with a brand shiny new armor, Tony Stark targeted a terrorist group called Boko Haram, because they more than any other group he was aware of really, REALLY deserved an ass-kicking - and that's exactly what he gave them. Iron Man raided a large Boko Haram camp, rescuing dozens of captured hostages, slaves, and wives (mostly women and children), and killed dozens of the terrorists. At one point, after seeing the death of an eight year old boy strapped to a suicide vest, Stark's rage boiled over and - donning a Hulkbuster - chased the remaining terrorists swinging a tank like a club, utterly destroying the encampment.
Returning to the States with a new perspective on global conflict and suffering, Tony went to work developing a super-cheap smartphone, the StarkPhone E, which was designed for developing economies and use in hostile regions. To connect the poorest and most oppressed on Earth with the rest of the world, so that the wealth of the information age could reach the voiceless.
Returning home and having a nightcap - as he still had not ceased drinking from his time as Superior Iron Man - Stark was confronted by LOKI, God of Stories! But the Norse God was not there to fight, and instead the two of them began to share a few drinks. Loki told Stark that he forgave Stark already, understanding more than almost anyone what it's like to be in those megalomaniacal shoes, and how hard it is to recover and find redemption afterwards. However, Loki warned, the rest of the magic community was still embittered to him, he had made many enemies.
So, Stark used most of what little personal money he had left and bought a large piece of real estate on Mt. Wundagore, then gifted it to Loki and the rest of the magic community as an apology present.
Extremis works by altering the repair center of the brain (and likely DNA as well?) to change the map of what your body should be, forcing your body to "heal" itself in a completely different way. It's a hack for human anatomy, a way to reprogram your body into whatever you want.
Do you want blonde hair or to lose weight? Done.
Remove an allergy or cure a disease? Done.
Do you want to astronauts that resist radiation and retain bone mass in zero-g? Done.
Breathe fire and explode on impact? Even that!
Now Iron Man has figured out how to safely release Extremis 3.0 to the public at large, first in San Francisco, as an app you can download on your smartphone. The effect of Extremis 3.0 is perfect beauty and health. Download it, and it will (somehow!) make you into a supermodel! Presumably you can customize your experience (hair, body measurements, ect...) through the app on your phone.
All this for a scant $99.99 per day! Yay!
Tony often offers discounts or free day subscriptions if you get within 50 feet of him, thus guaranteeing packed attendance at his parties and public gatherings.
History.
Extremis was first developed by Dr. Maya Hansen and Dr. Aldrich Killian as yet-another super-solider program, although this one was fairly open ended.
They original had noble intentions, wanting to use it to cure disease, but when military funding ran dry they allowed the prototype to be stolen by home-grown domestic terrorists in order to do their human testing. Out-classed and derated initially, Tony Stark also equipped himself with Extremis; his specific enhancement allowing him to operate his armor and other technology mentally. Dr. Killian and Dr. Hansen are now deceased, suicide and later murdered by A.I.M. respectively, leaving Tony Stark is the sole guardian and proprietor of Extremis according to Maya's last will.
Tony Stark jealously guarded the Extremis formula, fearing it could too-easily create living weapons in the hands of madmen: much like many of Stark's own inventions. After much tinkering, Stark discovered ways to govern not only make it safe to release to the public, but also user friendly.
Once upon a time, in his "part time lover" days, Stark had set himself up with a rather luxurious cliffside home in California. He had dubbed it "The Retreat", because for as ostentatious as the house was, it was Tony's hiding place. His bethel. He had kept the home, despite maybe some renovations after super villain fights, until the horrifically cumbersome issue with Onslaught came about years ago. Stark kept the property, though.
His fortune had been stripped from him recently, but he had been successful at suing back the rights to much of it. On the original land as the old Retreat, Stark had quietly built a new home with funds from a new company and a recouped fortune. He had also renovated the lab facility beneath, greatly. So now the old land on the old cliff and the old memories had a new, slick, updated lodging atop. In some sense, most of it had been built as an experiment in "the home of the future"; every new or prototype technology that Stark delighted in was implemented into the home.
Also in the kitchen, opposite side of the bedrooms, is new prototype aquaponics biosphere kit, which simultaneously grows fresh herbs, plans, and tilapia. https://youtu.be/Au2Bueiy6MQ?t=8m
But, most important was the full gym, sauna, and spa facilities built into one wing of the home, just below the master bedroom and suites on the floor above. The gym area contained weights, cardio machines, and a full boxing ring. Adjacent to the gym, however, was the sauna and a small Dornbracht-designed horizontal rain shower. The horizontal shower was the newest addition to the home, and Stark had personally instructed that "after a work out, it should feel so good you think you have to cook it eggs in the morning." https://www.dornbracht.com/en-US/Products/Bath-and-Spa/Horizontal-Shower.aspx
(The gym and parts of the sauna and spa facility can be seen overlooking the pool if you pay close attention to the background during the Rhodey vs Tony fight scene in Iron Man 2.)
And, the pool and jacuzzi were outdoors, just beyond the gym and spa facilities. These were nested just at the very edge of the cliff, with a perimeter of safety railing, to overlook the Pacific Ocean.
Below the home was Tony Stark's garage and lab assembly complex. The original property had included a huge two-stage lab and manufacturing center underground, which was expanded upon and updated with modern equipment. The layout of the lab is largely modular, so as to have space be rearranged and configured as needed. There is a multi-purpose test chamber, large 3D printers and automated fabrication equipment, and assembly areas. The lab and workshop area can be accessed by the (armored) garage door, the cargo elevator at the edge of the property, or from the proper entrance inside the home. There was/is also an underwater entrance to the lab.
Currently the upper deck is a main staging area, armory, and also garage. Below that is the second stage of the lab, a large fabrication, storage, and utility level.
Included into this underground area was the home's power plant, where four huge Repulsor Generators (Arc Reactors) provided ample power to the home itself and enough extra power to shunt into the California electrical grid and sell to the local electric company. The home's power plant was able to dump so much energy into Malibu that a small power-substation had to be built at the edge of the property to manage it, accessible by the local electric company. Selling so much energy to the local electric company helped offset the cost of the home.
Security wise? A special armor, an update to the Telepresence Armor, was rebuilt and put back to use as a "guard dog." This suit stays on the premise in the event of attack or security alarm. Unlike other armors, this suit has no pilot cavity, and is completely filled with weapons and equipment, and is programmed to be very protective of the property... Mobile sensor nodes and clusters were placed throughout the grounds outside (detecting visual, highly-sensitive audio, infrared, and backscatter x-ray). The windows were made from reinforced metallic glass and could repel cannon fire.
Access to the lab and home was dependent on possessing the proper digital encryption pass, or by persons identified by biorhythm scans. These scans include skeletal resonance, a method Stark favors because hardly anyone's heard of it and no one's figured out how to counterfeit yet. In this application, when attempting to enter the home, sound code is transmitted from the floor panels, through the individuals body, and into the keypad which listens and verifies the access pin number or a palm print scanner. Tony Stark would be notified immediately if any alarm was tripped. (For details on the armor and tech's specific security measures, please see my Hall Of Armors blog.) The home is controlled by a private node of the J.A.R.V.I.S. A.I.
