OP consider 2-3 skill trees perhaps for customization and RPG elements for next thread. Like one specialized in the hammer and another in some other subject. Example: Level 1 Mjolnir: Learn to accurately and forcefully throw Mjolnir as a swift short ranged attack. 1 XP. Level 2 Mjolnir: Learn to recall Mjolnir 2 xp. Level 3 Mjolnir: Learn to fly utilizing Mjolnir. 4 xp. Players need to choose between different skill trees competing for xp. Another skill tree could be unlocking/optimizing suit powers or our former day job expertise

You remember telling Tony to make you an armor that’s strong, even if he had to sacrifice speed, which he certainly did. The armor is big and blocky, but it definitely looks like it could take a hit. As you finish pulling it on with the helmet, you blink at the odd feeling of looking at the world with a heads-up display. Suddenly, you hear Tony’s voice.

“Dean, you read me?”

You nod, but then, realizing he can’t see you, “Uh, yeah. Yeah, I can hear you.”

“Good. Hey, listen, I’ll teach you to fly with that thing some other time. For now, I’ll just set you on autopilot. We’re going to a memorial for everyone at Stamford, and then there’s a meeting we need to be at. Put on a suit. And be careful. Heroes are getting attacked by civilians now. People hate us out there.”

You try not to let that spook you, and after you get dressed in the suit Tony’s prepared you, you take off. When you arrive at the church, you land next to Tony, and he presses a button. You feel your armor slide off of you and shrink down, until it’s the size of a coin. You put it in your pocket, and the two of you enter into the church. There are hundreds, of hundreds of people there, even a few superheroes you recognize. None are as noticeable as Tony Stark, however.

When the service is done, and you and Tony are leaving the church, you hear a voice from the other side of you.

“Tony Stark?” you and Tony both turn, to see a grieving mother, her mascara running. The woman spits in Iron Man’s face and follows it up with a stream of curses. One of Tony’s bodyguards begins to push her back, asking her to leave, which she takes offense at. As she’s screaming at Tony Stark and the body guard, you feel angry glares on you.

Ah okay, my bad for assuming. Seems that Stark making Asgardian armour is a step away from making Asgardians too...

>>42474197
It's not asgardian armor, Just a stopgap since we can't find Thor and don't have his full powers.

>>42473530
Damn, I missed the armor vote. The best way to take a hit is to not get hit. Speed and strength...oh well. Hopefully we'll get a chance to build on our speed.

You sigh, and then step in front of Tony. You mentally prepare yourself for the abuse, and she gives it to you for a while. You keep your mouth shut, and just let her scream at you for a while, and eventually she leaves in tears. You turn to look at the crowd that’s gathered, you even see cameras taking pictures of you, people with their phones out, recording you. You almost feel sick. Tony sighs, and turns to you.

“We should go,” he straightens his tie and tries to pretend he’s not affected by what just happened. “We really don’t wanna be late for this.” You almost suit up, but Tony shakes his head, and follows his bodyguard through the crowd. The two of you enter Tony’s limo, and you see the wall of composure he’s built up begin to crack a bit.

He turns towards you, “Right, so... now we’re going to speak to some very important. Steve’s going to be there, as well as, I think, Reed. I assume you know about the SHRA?”

You nod slowly. You knew about it, albeit mostly because you read about it online recently. The SHRA is the Superhuman Registration Act. It was proposed not long after the Mutant Registration Act, and has been stuck ever since. You read that the proposal only really needed one big push to put it in effect. Was that Stamford? What was Tony planning?

“Right, well, mostly we’re going to discuss it. A few representatives from SHIELD and the US government are going to be there. You prepared for that?”

You give a shaky nod, this is all getting to be quite a lot. You weren’t expecting being a superhero to be fun and games, but this was way more than what you’d expected.

You frown, and turn back towards Tony, “Are you ready for it? I mean, I’m still new, I haven’t even picked a name yet, you’re Iron Man. You need to focus on more important things. Sure, you can’t save everybody, but you can’t let that stop you.” Tony nods, seeming to take your words into consideration.

You pause for a moment, “Tony, where do you stand with the Registration Act?” He frowns, and looks down at his feet.

“Before, I was prepared to walk in there and oppose it, but now? I can’t help but wonder if we were more regulated, people would be safer. I mean, for every hero that actually saves someone, it feels like there’s a dozen kids who gets himself and others killed because they wanted to play hero. Stamford never would have happened with Registration.” He reaches into his breast pocket, and pulls out a crumpled piece of paper, one that seems like it’s been folded over a hundred times. He unfolds it and looks at it intently.

“This is a proposal I wrote. I’m going to present it at the meeting, and I hope I’ll have your backing. Believe it or not, the people at Washington want your opinion. You’ve got a lot of power there, and you’re still mostly unknown.” He hands it to you, and you look over it.

It proposes the Superhuman Registration Act, but with numerous added points. For one, something called the Fifty State Initiative that puts a superhero team to every single state in the United States, as well as reforms the Omega Flight, a former Canadian team, which, if this passes would be remade with American Support.

You look between Tony and the proposal.

Additionally, there needs to be some kind of centralized oversight to this whole thing. A larger group of Supers overwatching everyone, in case any one group cannot handle it. Keep SHIELD and the Avengers in play."

You nod, handing the proposal back to Tony. “Hey, man, you’ve got my support. This thing... we’ve got people who can level city blocks we have no real way of identifying. That’s scary.” Tony nods, seeming to relax a bit, although you’re not done speaking. “But, like.. how’re you gonna implement it? We need to be pragmatic here.”

Tony shrugs, “I’m not in government, I have a tech company. But, the idea is pretty straight forward. We have the Avengers and other licensed superheroes getting all the unregistered superheroes to do so. We’ll develop ways of tracking new supers, so we can help make sure they won’t hurt anyone. Simple. If it gets pushed too far though, I’ll do everything in my power to stop it, believe me.”

You nod, and for the rest of the trip, you and Tony chat casually, trying to keep spirits up. When you finally arrive, the two of you make your way inside. You finally stop at a large room, with one big round table. You can pick out several faces you recognize. Reed, Steve, a woman in a SHIELD jumpsuit that looks familiar, the guy on his cell phone from Tony’s meeting the other day, and a few dozen government officials. You and Tony take your seats, and the meeting begins.

A lot of it you don’t completely understand, but soon enough, Tony’s proposal comes up. He makes his speech, and looks around the room. You can see Reed and the SHIELD woman nodding in approval, although weirdly, Steve seems to be absolutely still right now, as if he’s doing his best to not show any emotion. You nod in support, and Tony grins at you.

The meeting ends soon enough, and you notice Steve storm out.

You're significantly less powerful than Thor, but you're still insanely powerful. Right now, you can't do a lot of the more magical things that Thor could, but as you keep working at it, soon enough you'll be able to do a lot more stuff. The armor Tony gave you a decent temporary bonus.

>>42475346

Thank god it's a really big hammer.

>>42475521
It's also made out of neutron star metal. A chunk as big as Thor's hammer would weigh over 1,000,000 metric tons. It's also magic.

You give Tony a wave, and let him know you’ll be a second. He nods, and begins schmoozing with some nearby important looking people. You follow Steve for a bit, and he looks very, very angry. You call out to him, and he turns. He takes a deep breath, and calms himself before he approaches you. “Do you honestly agree with that?” he asks, his voice quiet. If you didn’t know better, you’d think he wasn’t upset at all.

In an ideal world, everyone would be equal, and noone would be strong enough to get away with whatever they want to. But this isn't an ideal world. Maybe someday, people will be strong enough that we don't have to treat everyone like they're guilty. But today, there are alot of people dying.

we will probably pull a parker. we don't know whats going on. its a law we've never read being fought over by people we look up to as rolemodels. I think we'll probably stick with Tony because he's actually enforcing the law given by the US goverment but if he goes all "lets fling ethics out a window and trap supers in another dimension without trial" we might have a problem.

>>42475780

Unfortunately government oversight lets super villains hack the substandard government computer database to fuck with heroes at home. It also militarized supers into little more than government enforcers.

You frown, but nod. “Captain, excuse me if this is out of line, but you saw Stamford. If we don’t keep tabs on heroes, things like that are going to continue happening. I’m not one hundred percent behind Tony, but he’s proposing something that’ll keep people from being hurt. Isn’t that what being a hero is all about?”

Cap frowns, and crosses his arms over his chest. “Of course it is, but when I was starting out, the American people knew something that it seems like they’ve forgotten over the years. It’s a little thing called freedom. Our country was founded on the basis that Freedom was every man’s right, and to take it away is truly wrong. Tony is taking away people’s freedom.”

He sighed, and seems to soften up a bit. “You’re young, and still new to this, but you need to be wary of people trying to use you. I’ve known Tony a long time. When he truly thinks he’s doing the right thing, he’s capable of horrible actions.” He turns and begins to walk away, “I have to go talk to the director of SHIELD now. You need to watch yourself, Dean. Don’t let yourself become a weapon.”

You let out a deep breath. That was intense. You almost thought for a moment, he’d deck you. You return to Tony, and let him know you’re ready to go.

Once the two of you are back in the limo, he looks back at you, “Is everything alright with Steve?”

I see Dean and Carol, at least right now, as really good work buddies.

Like McNulty and Bunk.

>>42476595
She's no Tony Stark.

She has standards anon, after a few drinks Tony doesn't.

>>42476595

i see dean more like new kid who looks terrified all the time

>>42476678

Maybe.

Though I don't think Dean has really had any interactions with her yet.

>>42476685

Only for a bit.

>>42476678
There is no way you're gonna get in a relationship with She-Hulk. You might be able to get a one-night stand, but no possible long-term thing.

>>42476685
This, except also surrounded with people who have the power to break the fabric of reality.

It would be like sticking your dick in a less aggressive version of Madonna.

You frown at the mention of Steve, and shake your head. “He doesn’t like this. He says he’s opposed to your proposal, and I mean... look, it’s not like this idea is without problems, but fighting is only gonna cause another Stamford.” You left out a few things Steve said, if only because you want to think about it more.

Tony seems to consider this. “Damn it Steve... I figured he might have a problem with this. I hope I get a chance to talk to him before this progresses too far. Steve’s a stubborn bastard.” He turns back towards you, “But you’re with me on this, right? I need to know who’s got my back. So far, it seems like it’s just you, Reed, and Carol. And frankly, Reed and Carol’s support isn’t exactly comforting.”

You nod, “I’m with you. I don’t one hundred percent agree, but we need to be united right now. After Stamford, people are gonna be looking for a leader, and seeing heroes fighting each other isn’t going to help anyone.”

Tony grins, “Right! You agree. Good.” The car starts, and you realize you’re going back to the base.

You’re curious, as you’ve met both Carol and Reed, and they both seem pretty great to you. “What’s wrong with Carol and Reed?” you ask casually.

Tony shook his head, “No, there’s nothing wrong with them, alright? It’s just... alright, Carol would do anything someone with a badge told her. She’s not exactly an independent thinker. And Reed... well, Reed’s a great guy, but he’s also forgotten his kid’s birthdays because he was making some useless machine. Not to mention, neither of them are all that grounded. I need people that represent what the average person thinks. Frankly, that’s why I’m doing all this with you. I can’t afford to lose touch now.”

You nod. You’ll admit, you kinda liked the idea of Tony Stark hanging out with you because you’re just that cool, but this makes way more sense. You shrug, “And, what about the opposition? Other than Steve, who else do you think is gonna have problems with this?” Tony shrugs, “Hard to say. I can’t see Luke liking it. Falcon, he’s gonna be with Steve no matter what. The young kids. They’ll all probably join up with him. The idea behind his side is prettier.”

You nod, pretending you know who any of these people are. “Hey, uh... if it comes down to it, you should let me handle Steve. He knows you, I’ve got a better chance going against him.” Tony looks at you funny, but nods. “If it comes down to it. But it’s not going down to that.”

Finally, you arrive back at the base. You’ve got plenty of free time now, what do you want to do?

Before we leave, comment on it

>Well, you say that we need people that represent the average person. But really, why should we? It's clear that we're the rational and logical side of things, Cap's side may sound prettier, but how long will that superficial sense hold them together?

Then walk away without waiting for a reply and
>B. Get some practice with the new suit

Who wouldn't be excited at the thought of fooling around in a Stark-tech suit

>>42477428
>D. "It's not even about what the average person thinks. Some people will just be assholes if given the choice, and people like you and me and Cap can take that to a whole new level. Gotta be some rules, no matter what Steve thinks. Else we might as well be dividing up the world Feudal style."

>>42477428
>> B. Get some practice with the new suit.

>>42477556
Problem is the villains already will ignore it. So that rings hollow.

>>42477609
That's the point. Villains are quite clearly villains, and heroes are quite clearly heroes. No vigilantes or wannabes skirting the line, and when a hero gets caught he gets processed so he can't put a toe out of line from then on.

>>42477636
It also will limit the amount of people willing to try and be heroes if they get smacked down for it.
It also gives villians a list of how to and where to find heroes if they can hack a government database. Which to Ultron or Modok would take seconds, to do and then walk down the list.

>>42477686
>What are paper-only info systems?

>>42477726
>What are horribly inefficient government systems?
Besides the fact that government bureaucracy will always slow things down to a crawl. Any villain who's smart would simply find such systems steal the info from them and then eliminate everyone on the list. Centralization is flawed for that very reason.

>>42477783
Maybe the solution is storing them in a place that nobody would steal from, with somebody who would be interested. Why yes, I am suggesting turning the blue spot on the moon into a library.

>>42477783
You can make the same argument about police officers. Citizens should just be armed with guns and do their own thing. No need to officialize neighborhood security and register those people into an armed force. What if someone gets a hand on a list of police officers? He'd take them out one by one.

>>42477867
>What if someone gets a hand on a list of police officers?
Well for one thing that'd be one man with a gun. Not one Cybernetic legion army with artillery. Furthermore police are a public service dedicated to a variety of actions. Superheroes are private, usually reserved for fighting disasters.

Your average schlub won't try to kill police officers, and if he does he'd only get so far before he's noticed and jumped on. Ultron could hit every hero at home, all at once.

>>42477951
why should they be private? They are individuals who are actually capable of standing toe to toe with a cybernetic legion with artillery.
Regular vigilantes have no legal authority and without goverment support, neither do the capes.

>>42478105
Some of them, with forewarning, However, centralization will let the bad guys take potshot assassinations, or failing that take hostages.

Their anonymity is their shield. Not every super can go about in public in open view and not get wasted. Tony and Reed get away with it because of money and science bullshittery. Cap should by all rights have been sniped by now.

QM is kill.

Alright guys, something came up, so it'll take me a bit to write up the next bit. If you want, I can answer questions and stuff until then.

>>42478267
is ragnarok gonna be a thing now that we have or are we going to have a problem?

>>42478267
Alright, well, the basics.

Friends? Family? What was our former job? Has anyone tried to contact us about being Thor?

>>42478318
It depends on a lot of things. If you switch to Cap's side, Ragnarok will definitely be a thing, if you stay with Tony, it depends on how much he respects you and your abilities in comparison to Thor.

>>42478267
Dean Walters is a dude right

Also how do you imagine his suit to look like

>>42478267
Can we make Dean a chick so we can bang iron man?

>>42478393
I was planning on leaving it open ended for you guys to figure out. Whatever the majority wants for Dean's backstory, I'll go with. And his former job's just some generic corporate job.
>>42478337
Dean's totally a dude.
And his suit looks like War Machine's, but painted to look similar to Thor's armor, and without all the guns.

>>42478428
No.
Go away.

Pistachios aren't peanuts.

>>42478451
>his suit looks like War Machine's
That's what I was imagining, but slightly less sleek.

No capes, right?

>>42478451
Wow that misreply almost had me thinking that Dean could possibly be a chick

Let's see...Good in high school classes but kinda got burnt out when he got to college, managed to do pretty well in math and philosophy, a bit of music theory and sociology but nothing he could pursue a career in. Ended up getting an accounting job and lived a mostly drudge life while playing video games and shitposting on /sup/ until suddenly, Hammer.

>>42478494
Afraid not. If you'd gone for a different option your suit'd look different. If you'd picked the fast option, you'd have one that looked kinda like Ultimate Iron Man. If you'd gone for the cool looking one, you'd definitely have a cape.

Like pic related

>>42478744
The circles are the most important part.

>>42478267
what do you consider makes someone worthy to wield the hammer?

>>42478762

I'd imagine it's similar to the Sorceror's Stone. Only works if you're not using it for personal gain.

>>42478762
Strength of will, selflessness, and plot. I imagine that Mjolnir is nearly sentient, and picks it's wielders on a case by case basis. It picked Dean because, frankly, it was desperate, and Dean was selfless.

>>42478759

Fuck yes.

Do they fill and crackle with lightning when Dean uses his powers?

>>42478854
Absolutely.

Hey OP, how long you thinking that you're gonna be until the next update? Just a rough idea.

You get out of the car and return to the base. The day is still early, and although you can think of a million different things you want to do, most important is messing around with your new Stark tech. You head out to the training field and suit up. You take a moment setting up the field, since you don’t have someone to train with currently. Since Stark was heading to Stark Tower to work on something himself, it seems you’re going to have to figure out how to work your armor on your own.

You decide to focus on the basics. Your armor, and Mjolnir can wait. For now, you need to learn how to actually hit things. For the rest of the day, you practice, going over drills and battles in your head, again and again. By the time you wrap up, you feel a remarkable increase. Sure, you’re not as good as someone like Captain America, but you can certainly hold your own in a fight. Your coordination and reflexes have very much increased. You take off your armor, and head back into the base, sore and tired after a long day. You’re ready to go to bed, but before you can do that, you bump into Carol, in costume, along with some other guy. He’s very muscular, with dark hair, and maybe it’s just the glowing red eyes, but he looks pretty not happy. Carol smiles upon seeing you, although the other guy just looks at you. “Oh, Dean! Good to see you. This is Simon, uh... Wonder Man.” Simon nods at you, and looks around, “Do you know where Tony is? We need to talk to him.”

You frown, they look serious. “Uh... what’s up? I mean, is everything okay? I can call him if you need him.”

Carol sighs, “Johnny Storm was attacked outside a nightclub. He’s out cold, but he’s stable. Not only that, but Steve’s gone missing. He had some argument with the Director of SHIELD, and now he’s gone. It seems like a lot of other heroes are gonna join him as fugitives.” She doesn’t exactly sound happy, although she’s trying to hide that.

You call Tony, and let him know that Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man want to see him, and you let him know about Captain America and Johnny Storm. He lets out a string of curses, and promises to be there as soon as possible. You relay that to Carol and Simon, minus the curses, and all of you set out to wait.

Does Dean have any family?

I may be forgetting some stuff from earlier threads, but I don't remember anyone other than a presumably now ex-girlfriend.

Just like his job, I'm leaving it up to whatever gets majority support.

>>42481186

>>42481169

Parents: don't talk much, since they kicked us out
Girlfriend: recently ex
Job: clerk at 7-11

>>42481186

I say a mother and father living in Wyoming or Florida for their retirement.

Maybe a successful or non-successful sibling that has either distanced themselves from the familiy or got disowned.

>>42481257
>Job: clerk at 7-11

We were an accountant.

>>42481306

The idea came up here. And sans the /sup/ thing, I think it fits.

>>42481186
Parents are retired after hitting big in a risky investment and cashing out before the 08 crash.
Older brother works as an engineer in a growing business in Texas.
Ex-girlfriend cheated on him after a 6 month relationship.
Dean works as an accountant and makes decent pay.

You look between Carol and Simon, “Well, uh... this is how it starts, right? Captain America’s doing his thing, and because of it, we’re getting hunted, and fighting amongst ourselves. How are you guys? You have families?” The two look at you oddly, and then Carol turns to Simon.

“Yeah, he’s new,” and then turning back to you, “If there’s one thing you don’t ask about another hero, it’s their families. I’m... estranged from my family, and Simon’s brother is a supervillain.” She, to her credit, tries to keep the conversation jovial, and you nod. You supposed that made sense, but you hoped it wasn’t a requirement or anything. Your family was fine, more or less. Your parents were retired, and lived in Florida, and you still chatted with them occasionally. Your older brother was some engineer in Texas, and although you had been jealous, you still cared for him.

Your thoughts were interrupted when Tony entered the base, in full armor. As he walked, his helmet slid back to reveal his face. “Carol, Simon. My office. Dean, you should get some sleep or something.” He doesn’t stop walking, not even to give out the orders. Carol and Simon follow him, leaving you alone.

Before going to bed, you decide to try and eavesdrop on their meeting. Although you can’t make out all of it, you can make out bits and pieces of their discussion. Most of it’s about plans for the Registration act, and what to do if certain people join up with Luke. You come up eventually, and although Tony says he trusts you, he’s not sure if you’ll be up to what’s to come. He also says he and Reed are planning on something in case you switch sides, or aren’t able to do it. As the meeting is wrapping up, you step away from the door, and head back to the training grounds. You’re determined to learn how to at least get the hammer to come back to you. It takes a lot of practice and focus, but you get it down eventually.

Finally, you’re done. You text your family, letting them know you love them, and then you head to sleep. Your dreams are conflicted, and you’re worried about the future.

And, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna call it there. I’m tired as fuck, and I’m gonna try and sleep a bit. I might continue this in a few hours, if this thread’s up. If not then, then certainly tomorrow. I’ll stick around to try and answer as many questions as I can, but seriously. I’m fucking beat.
