He has a reactor in his chest. What else do you need? What armor? Who cares, REACTOR IN HIS CHEST.

Okay, unless I'm forgetting something the reactor doesn't give him any superpowers it just keeps his heart from getting shredded up by the shrapnel. Unless you're just talking about the sexiness of the reactor, then yes, yes, I agree.

talking about the sexiness of the reactor

Yes. I would want to be him just for that. Screw the billions of dollars, REACTOR. GLOWS IN THE DARK.

Ah, then we are on the same chapter here.

And it apparently blocks Loki's mind-control scepter powers completely, although it's not entirely clear how (as in, would anything artificial between the staff and the heart be sufficient, or is it specifically something about the arc reactor? I favor the second opinion, myself, but that's just me).

(Anonymous) 2012-06-02 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm assuming you're referring to the movie? I haven't seen that, but I'm also not entirely up on all the other universes.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-02 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Also that would an hilariously obscure superpower to be lusting over. :D

There's a theory floating around that because Tony built the arc reactor after Howard's prototypes, which may have been (it's been a while since I saw the Iron Man movies, so I can't remember if this was confirmed or not) based on his attempts to reverse-engineer the tesseract, that the arc reactor has some sort of Asgardian-based tech in it, which is why it stopped Loki's staff. But that's pure fanon at the moment. It would be cool though, since it would tie together the different movies even more tightly.

This is actually remarkably close to an idea the Spouse and I were kicking around the other day, but I hadn't figured in Howard's having actually seen the Tesseract in action. I am officially adopting this as my new fanon now.

That is an AWESOME idea, and it's totally my headcanon now, until proven otherwise.

[personal profile] zogblaster 2012-06-03 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I'd been assuming in the movies, since the whole "magnet draws shrapnel away from my heart" thing wouldn't explain why he needed to keep it or why he'd go through what looked like a heart attack when they were switching it out, that really it was now functioning as either a pacemaker or a power source for an artificial heart he'd built. Which he wouldn't want to advertise.

So, I was assuming that the sceptre disn't work because Loki was tapping it where the heart should be, but was only getting machinery. Which would also make it possible for Tony to have guessed it was likely to happen.

Yeah, I just assumed that it was because the arc reactor blocked the scepter, but as usual, fans other than me managed to fanwank up a big cool theory ;)

(Anonymous) 2012-06-03 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I assumed it was something to do with the arc reactor being a powerful electromagnet.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-02 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Even then, only if we're talking about movie Tony.
