By the way @Morden Man would it still make sense for Reed and Ted to know each other? I think Ted might want to bring some things up with him...With Luthor too probably.

Although with @Blacksam3091 playing Tony now, poor Ted will probably hardly rate among the geniuses/businessmen/technological vigilantes of the world.

@Dblade26 I think Reed would have some time for Ted. Heck, if Reed wouldn't then Johnny and Ben definitely would, given that Ted's about as much of a knucklehead as either of them. So Ted could definitely swing by the Baxter Building sometime.

That's part of what I like about Ted. He's a goofy, friendly down-to-earth knucklehead, but then occasionally he'll effortlessly reverse engineer a piece of alien tech, or find a way to modify one of his gadgets to knock out enemies capable of fighting Superman, or a telepathic alien warlord will off-handedly mention that his mind is the only one other than Martian Manhunter's that he's having difficulty breaking or something. He's this joke-y, fun character who secretly has a lot of potential while also being pretty relatable.

We need to have a Super-Suit convention.

Have all the smart people with Super-Suits meet up and compare notes... which would then up in a competition and someone would end up with a broken suit.

I mean, since Tony's the PRIMARY super suit builder, wouldn't he win?

I'd like to think so considering that's his whole hat, but I suppose it depends on how much prep time Batman has had.

I think Batman in a reasonable suit could beat Iron Man in the best suit.

As Iron Man (for the most part) just relies on his suit and doesn't have any training or anything.

Not in the best suit no. Iron Man's BEST suits are ridiculous even by 'Batman fighting Superman or other more-or-less gods' standards IIRC. But I thought we were just discussing in terms of specs?

Also weird thing about Ted, he's apparently capable of designing some really very impressive super suits including one for Booster that let him not only have impressive superpowers but also kept him alive when he would otherwise have needed an artificial heart and an iron lung, but he never really wears any himself.

Hmm If we're talking frontier Tony then that's a fair assumption to make, seeing as he hasn't actually had any IC stuff to prove himself (Although it's still just that, an assumption.)

Though if we're talking 616 Tony then that's a big fallacy. If we're talking combat training then he's had plenty of that from the likes of Steve Rodgers, Rhodey, SHIELD, ETC. On top of that he has far more suit-based combat experience than Bat's, which has to count for something. And, as D quite rightly points out, Tony's top-tier suits are ridiculously powerful. To beat Tony at his best, Bats would have to come in his best too, and I don't think it would all that cut and dry.

I don't know that much about Ted, but isn't he like the king of wasted potential? In that he's happy to just goof off when if he applied himself he could be a Batman-tier hero.

Depends, if 616 Tony was at the same point as Frontier Tony it would be a similar instance.

Though you have a point, it also depends on Batman. If it was a random fight and he was caught off guard I'd give it to Iron Man but with preparation I'd say it'd go to Bats.

Though you have a point, it depends on IC occurrences.




It's all speculation in the end.

I'm not sure if it's wasted potential so much as he's just a lot more relaxed than Bruce and Booster was a massively bad influence on him (He actually mentions on-panel at one point that he used to be a really serious and competent hero before meeting Booster) plus he's had major confidence issues. Not only that but depending on incarnation, the JLI team was ridiculously overpowered considering at various points it had Captain Atom, Martian Manhunter, Doctor Fate AND a Green Lantern all on the same team, so a lot of the time they relegated Ted to transportation and comic relief. Once when he got serious, he casually modified his standard taser to become powerful enough to K.O. Metallo in one hit and in a second instance he was able to beat an energy vampire that previously took the entire JLA to beat by converting Booster Gold's force field into an energy draining device. I haven't found scans, but I've also heard there was an issue where he was brainwashed and took down most of his own team with Batman commenting that a serious Ted could give him a run for his money.

It's a lazy late morning. Just finished chores. (Yay!) And now I'm debating on if I want to roll out my first Cap arc... or keep waiting.

Also listening to my roommate's workphone buzz like mad because she forgot it. Someone really wants to get a hold of her. :)

Also, also, Hi Ruby!
