Extreme Armors

"What the hell were you thinking?" I asked Tony Stark after his first fight with Whiplash at Monaco.

I was currently in my base again working on the final touches of the Extremis virus. I call it virus because of the comics, but in reality it is a serum that was mae to completely heal the body by overriding the brains healing centers and forcing them to heal the wounds much faster than normal. Unfortunately a side effect was blowing up if you didn't stabilize it or if you didn't take it in a while. In a way it reminds me of D.C.'s Venom drug that Bane uses. The only real difference was that one causes you to explode.

Luckily for me, I had the actually formula to work with, so all I have to do is mix it together and boom. Instant super serum.

Maybe boom isn't the best expression to use.

"Well I was ju-"

"Don't treat me like I'm stupid Tony. I know about the problem with your reactor. Did you really think that hopping in a race car would fix anything?"

"No, but What's the point. If I'm going to die, I might as well do everything in my power to have fun before I go."

"Have you tried fixing the problem dumbass?"

"Of course I have," he says, somewhat offended that I thought otherwise. "and the Paladium has the longest half-life while still powering my reactor. There is no way to fix this."

Sure there is, but I couldn't just go and tell him that his dad gave him the blueprints in his stuff to make a new element.

"I wouldn't normally ask for this… but I want to be there for Pepper. Could I use the Oz formula to get better? I know you said that it gave you a healing factor."

Sighing, I answer his question in the negative.

"I'm sorry Tony, but the formula hasn't been thoroughly tested. It is entirely possible that it would only make you insane on top of shrapnel near your heart. Have you ever thought of simply getting the shrapnel removed by professionals? Having shards of metal anywhere in your body just doesn't seem healthy." I ask as I add a few drops of one of the more unstable chemicals in the serum.

Over the phone, I can hear him sigh. "I would, but there is a chance that they would miss something and that little miss could kill me."

"Fine…" I say "The only thing you could do now is to invent a new element for the reactor, Oscorp made Adamantine, it shouldn't be too hard for you to make one to substitute as a battery for your ticker."

Another sigh. "O.K. I'll look into that and talk to you later. I promised Pepper that I would look at the new meat. Natalie Rushman or something…"

"Don't worry about it Tony. Talk to you later." I say as I hang up.

So the Widow is in Stark Towers, that means it is only a matter of time before Fury calls me to deal with Thor. That is if Fury sticks to his word and actually calls me.

And... Done. Extremis is finally complete. Grabbing the serum, I head over to the injector. No time like the present to make myself more powerful.

Wow… I sound like a supervillain or something, always searching for more power in any way possible…

Eh. Who cares, it's not like I'm in an actual comic book or something where the readers get mad that I become over powered. I am in real life where any wrong move could mean death for me and the people I rescue and those I care for.

The injector was a machine similar to the machine in Captain America that injected the Super Serum into him, but it does not produce the vita rays like the Captain America version. This one simply injects and holds me down to prevent me from harming myself.

Stripping naked till all I am wearing is my boxers, I put the serum into the injectors, strap myself in and start the process.

"Activate injection process now."

I should probably work on making an A.I. That would make my life so much easier…

As soon as I activated it, the needles injected the serum into my shoulders, legs, chest, and neck. The serum itself, once injected, felt like fire in my veins, burning its way into my brain. It hurt like the devil and it took all my willpower from screaming in pain. I could see the serum at work at I gain a bit of extra muscle on top of what I gained from the Oz formula. Not only that, but I started glowing red with heat.

As soon as it started, it finished. The red glow faded, and the fire like heat in my body dulled down to a mild warmth that seemed to just stay there. Looking at the clock, I realize that the process had taken less than five minutes. Unstrapping myself, I get up and do something stupid.

I grab a sword I had bought for this purpose and cut my hand off.

"Huh… The Extremis seems to dull the nerve endings… that or the nerves heal as soon as they are damaged, because I barely felt any pain." I say as my hand regrows from the glowing red stump of my wrist. Looking at the hand I had chopped off, I see it completely disintegrate into ashes. Flexing my new hand, I see that it works perfectly.

Huh. Well that's convenient. Walking over to the computer, I get a spare needle and draw some blood and put it into the computer.

'Blood sample: Stable.'

"Yes!" I laugh. My plan worked and I am only more powerful because of it.

Shutting down the computer, I grin as I get to work on yet another project on my bucket list.

Finish my Armor.

/

Let me rephrase. I had already finished my armor, but I decided to also make a few other armors to use in various situations for both me and Spider-Man.

These include stealth suits, heavy armor, light armor, comic version, movie version, and many more. As of now, none of them have actually been finished except my regular armor and my heavy armor. Right now I'm working on some light armor for me. This includes a 'Light' glider. The armor itself looks almost identical to the Green Goblin in comics. With Adamantine scales lining an unstable molecule suit, it will be able to defend me from Iron Man's repulsor blasts at the most, but my speed and flexibility is much greater than in my regular or heavy armor. The light glider is also very different than my regular glider. It actually looks more like Harry Osborn's Sky Stick from Raimi's Spider-Man 3 in that it looks more like a flying snowboard. It still has the blades and machine guns, but other than that it has no weapons and minimal armor, relying on its maneuverability and speed to avoid attacks.

The mask is an Adamantine mesh mask that looks identical to the comic version of the Green Goblin and acts like a second skin to my face. Thus making it seem like it is my real face. The eyes have glass coverings on them that can be retracted with a tap of a button to allow me to see things with my own eyes. The eye pieces themselves have HUD's in them like my other masks that connect me to the Police scanner, tell me the power of the suit and glider, and much more.

As for Spider-Man, I have created a modified version of his stealth suit from comics, the black one with the neon Green/Red Spider symbol. This version cannot turn invisible yet (Though I am working on some of the Invisible Woman's DNA to fix that), but it it completely silent in its movements as well as being invisible to radar, thermal imaging, X-Ray vision (That one was difficult to do) scent, and pretty much any kind of tracking. Once this suit is finished, Spider-Man would be untraceable. The mask of the suit can block sounds coming in or going out, so villains with voice based abilities won't be able to affect him. I added this feature to my suits as well. The Spider-Symbol also has a tracker on it that allows me to know exactly where he is 24/7.

Sure it may be a little creepy, but when he is in a jam and needs help, it's better that I know where to go.

Besides that, I am also working on a heavy armor for him if he needs it. The design is based of his 'Spider-Armor' he used against the Sinister 6. In comics it was known as the Anti-Sinister 6 armor or the MK III armor. I just call it awesome. The armor once finished will allow Spider-Man to fly and shoot bursts of energy similar to Starks repulsor blasts from the tops of his wrist. Web shooters are integrated into the underside of his wrist with a variety of settings that include web bombs, taser webs, and many more. The suit can probably take a hit from the Thing or a base level hulk with minor injury to the wearer, but it also allows the wearer nearly full maneuverability and flexibility. It, along with all the other suits I make are insulated against heat, cold, electricity, radiation, magnetism, the vacuum of space and many other scenarios. This suit also gives the wearer up to an hour of oxygen should he need to fight underwater or in space.

The mask has an Echo locator that allows Spider-Man to see like daredevil and see through Mysterios illusions (If we ever fight him), a comm unit (Obviously) and a few other tricks as well.

Another trick that I made with a bit of help from Stark was the Inertia dampeners. Essentially it is an energy based shield that absorbs impacts. So if Stark fell from the Chitauri portal and Hulk didn't catch him, the Inertia dampeners would keep his body from turning into jello when he hits the ground and to speed. Instead he may have a few broken bones, but definitely not death. Who knows, if Civil War happens in this timeline, Rhodey may not get a broken spine. I was also able to slightly modify the dampener to make it a Kinetic Dampening field, essentially it takes kinetic (And other forms of energy) to power itself, so if I get shot, the shield will absorb the kinetic energy from the bullet and use that energy to make the shield stronger. If Thor decides to electrocute me for some reason, the shield will absorb most of the energy and use it to power the shield further. There are a few issues with it though as the shield can not take too much energy at once. If the Hulk hit me when my shield is at low power, my shield will not take the entirety of the kinetic energy. I will still feel like I was hit by a bus, but it would still lessen the impact from freight train to bus. If Thor struck me with Lightning when my shield is at low power, I will still be electrocuted (Though my armor will block the electricity bleeding through my shield.)

So far I have integrated the shield into all of the suits (Both mine and Spidey's), all I have left is to show Spider-Man his new suits and integrate the shield into the suit he is using now.

As I reach for a welder to fuse some parts on my glider together, I pause. I wonder if the heat given off by the extremis would be enough to do the job?

One way to find out.
