Dear WizKids,

Will you please make this Anthony Stark Alter-Ego figure for me?

Here is what I think a comic-accurate Anthony Stark AE should be.

Genius Level Intellect: Anthony Stark possesses Perplex.

Alter-Ego - Shellhead: Give this character a power action and replace this character with a #409 Iron Man figure on its orange starting line. Existing action tokens from this character, as well as action tokens and pushing damage for this action are applied to the replacement. If replaced, no victory points are awarded for this character and the replacement is considered to be its orange point value for all game effects.

Stark Tech: Stun-ulator: Anthony Stark can use Incapacitate with a Range Value of 2.

Life Model Decoy (Shape Change)

Trained By Steve Rogers (Close Combat Expert)

I dig it. But not before I get my AE Bruce Banner/Hulk!

No. They hate you.

I would love to see this happen. Also a bruce banner/ hulk ae would be great. I like the AE figures and the mechanic overall

I was kind of surprised to not see Tony Stark in WoS given Iron Man in slot 14.

Same here.

Iron Man and the Hulk are both characters who are totally perfect for the AE mechanic. Like, Peter Parker is still Spider-Man when he's in civilian clothes, but Tony Stark needs to rely on an entirely different skill-set outside of the armor.

I concur. I think Alter-Egos should be reserved for characters that rely on some kind of transformation to become their super-hero or super-villain counterpart.

Clark Kent and Peter Parker don't need costumes to be super-heroes. (Well, Peter has his web-shooters...)

But figures that rely on some sort of transformation are prime candidates for Alter Ego figs.

And the biggest ball was dropped in WoS when WK didn't make the generic Researcher into Curt Connors AE, with a Lizard counter-part.

Other prime candidates:

Robert Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk
Anthony Stark / Iron Man
Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin / Colossus
Dr. Hank Pym / Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket
Janet van Dyne Pym / Wasp
James Rhodes / War Machine

No...

And certainly genius level intellect is much more than just plain ole vanilla perplex, no...

To make the Anthony Stark more comic-book accurate, I made a few minor changes...

Got rid of the 2 Range Value, and changed it to 0 Range Value.

Changed the Stun-ulator named power (Incapacitate) to a special power. This resolves the issue with Anthony Stark always having a non-comic accurate 2 Range Value.

Added the Mighty Avengers keyword.

Changed the point value to reflect these changes from 56 to 55 points.

I'm an Iron Man fanboy... but I believe in comic accurateness, and not some over-powered, fan-boy crazed figure.

But if you noticed, I used the word "possesses" on purpose. This means his Perplex via his Trait can be Outwitted / Countered.

Meh. Keep your AE's and give me more playable figures.

I like it. It certainly looks like a Tony dial should.

I really want a Tony Stark that has a plethera of Ironman suits from which to choose. It could be like the field experiment 15, where you could replace him with any character named Ironman but you have to click him 4 or 5 clicks.

Thank you My goal was for comic accurateness all the way. When I gave him CCE, I gave him the 0 damage, because as Tony, there is no way he is hurting someone with Invulnerability or Impervious.

Also, with Genius Level Intellect, I made it so he "possesses" Perplex, instead of "use" Perplex. This way his Perplex can be Outwitted / Countered. Tony always comes up with a brilliant plan... but sometimes it takes awhile, or sometimes he struggles to get it accomplished.

The Stun-lator is a very old piece of Stark tech. It was a non-lethal stun gun basically, before we in the real world had stun guns.

You mean one where the other player could say "no thanks, I don't want you to play that?"
