Alright. A few things to know right off the back. Tony Stark is not rich. He is a teenager. He is still a genius. Alright that's it. The rest of the story will explain itself.
Iron Man crashed through the wall in a burst off light, smashing the couch he landed on. The old lady who been sitting on the couch screamed and ran off. Iron Man stood up, rubbing his armored head.
"Ow…" he groaned. He shook his head and dusted off his red and silver armor. "Uh, sorry about your wall, and couch, and mental scarring."
His boot jets roared to life and he shot into the sky again.
Wait! I'm getting ahead of myself. See the one in the red and silver armor? That's me. Tony Stark, teenaged prodigy and the world's gift to women. Up until a few weeks ago, I was a "normal" human. Going to high school, planning founding of my own company (I'm thinking Stark Enterprises. No, no, maybe Stark Industries.), and hanging out with my best friends Rhodey and Pepper. But then, everything changed.
As he reached higher altitudes, Iron Man found himself in the center of a circle of Extremis soldiers. They all raised their arms and their wrist lasers powered up. Iron Man charged his own palm repulsors and fired, blasting two armored Extremis soldiers out of the sky. The others open fired, peppering Iron Man's shields.
Notice anything different about me now? New hair cut maybe? Nope, it's the high-tech piece of alien armor I'm wearing. Pretty stylish huh? And it lets me do all kinds of incredible stuff, like this…
Iron Man's triangular chest light slowly began glowing, until he unleashed the unibeam, cleaving through the remaining Extremis soldiers. The hero spun around as his armor's sensors picked up an Extremis armor head his way. His optics zoomed in on the approaching dot. Iron Man stiffened as he saw his Titanium Man approaching.
And this…
Iron Man routed as much power to his boot jets as possible and shot forward like a rocket, aimed for Titanium Man. The two armor titans clashed together, sending out a massive shockwave that shattered glass, shook the earth, and tripped car alarms.
And other stuff. But the bottom line is, I'm now a super hero under the widely known name of Iron Man. I've fought everything from the common jay walker to crazed mad scientist and his giant robot, but I mostly find myself fighting the alien menace of the Extremis. It's a hard job, and the rewards are few and far between. So far between, I'm still waiting for my first reward.
The two armored titan traded blows and repulsor blasts, trying to gain the upper hand. Titanium Man's armor was stronger, more durable, and faster than Iron Man's, but Iron Man had…his wits? Not fair. Titanium Man fired a blast from his unibeam, sending Iron Man crashing into the earth.
"Ugh, damn you gravity!" Iron Man cursed as he stood up.
Yeah, the life of a super hero is a lonely one, not to mention difficult, stressful, draining, and most likely going to end with a big boom. But it has its perks. Like…uh…
Titanium Man landed in front of Iron Man and scooped him up in a fierce bear hug, attempting to crush the hero. Iron Man groaned in pain.
"I know you like me but I need my space dude," Iron Man joked.
The unibeam fired from Iron Man's chest, knocking Titanium Man back. Iron Man shot forward on his boot jets and punched Titanium Man in the face, followed by another punch to the jaw, a kick to the stomach, and ending with a fierce uppercut.
Titanium Man staggered back, dazed but unhurt. He raised his arms, preparing to fire his plasma lasers. Iron Man charged his own repulsors. They fired at the same instant, and the two unique energy beams crashed together in a crackle of energy. They both kept up the pressure, seeing who would crack first.
Iron Man checked his power levels. 55% and falling.
"Repulsors over heating," the armor warned. "Power levels falling. Shields failing. Life-Support malfunctioning."
"Reroute all power to repulsors," Iron Man ordered.
The brilliance of Iron Man's weapons increased and the repulsors overpowered Titanium Man's plasma lasers. Titanium Man was blasted backward by the repulsors and he skidded across the street.
But I'm a hero. It's what I was born to be. I'm Tony Stark. I am Iron Man, and this is my story.
Woo! Pretty good huh? Don't worry, future chapters will be much, much longer than this. This was just a kind of intro to show you where I'm going with this whole brew-ha. So yes, catch Iron Man Galaxies Sundays at 10am (PST) on the Project Phoenix Agent 003 channel starting…I don't know. Eventually. So yeah keep a look out for this story/show/whatever.
