imagining iron man but she's a lesbian and has a 1950s car aesthetic to her armor. also her weaponry is much less futuristic in some respects, such as only dummy missiles, flamethrowers and modified tommies instead of repulsors, built-in mini-iron-lung that keeps her...
from removing a portion of the suit rather than it feeding into some sci-fi-mancy pacemaker. she's always listening to old-school rockabilly and she has a somewhat primitive AI named after an Elvis Song. Angeline, maybe. Lucia? anyway it's definitely a woman AI who...
if she develops sentience, had a flirty relationship with her probably, but can't compute as fast or have access to as much data as jarvis. her hideout or headquarters or whatever is a cross between the typical iron man headquarters and an old mom and pop diner or a soda shop.
also, since she kinda has to wear the iron lung portion of the suit at the very least all of the time, she has no secret identity but more of a stage name, like how iron man is known to be tony stark or rhodey is known to be war machine. i don't imagine i'd ever properly...
draw her fully out of it, if i was in charge. but when she's out of it, she'd obviously dress and do her hair like a fifties gal, and i imagine a sleeve tat on her left arm (probably roses, skulls, something basic-ish like that) but past that, i don't care what she looks like.
also, i've decided her name is Angeline and her AI's name is Lucia. her last name is Presley and she has no idea if she's related to Elvis but chooses to very proudly believe that she is. superhero "stage name", hm... depends, but honestly, for some reason, i keep...
coming back to this idea of her being sponsored by the in-universe equivalent of Chevy, maybe a stand-in company called Chevron that uses a Chevron as its logo, and so she has one on her chest like their cars do. a flaw, but one that also gives an avenue to parody...
the company being referenced to go after automobile companies or big business as a whole, especially ones that buy into american exceptionalism rhetoric or are referenced for it. she needs the sponsorship to have money for the equipment though, so she has a reason to sell...
out, and is conscious enough of selling out to have to grapple with it. outside of superhero work, she's a mechanic. used to work for Chevron more traditionally under the Rosie the Riveter years while the men were away in WW2 or equivalent. hell, maybe she's the...
Chevron Riveter, or just Riveter, instead of the references comparing her to a car in some way that i've been looking for. she's inspired by being an Iron Man type, insofar as that being a generic shorthand for superheroes in battlesuits, but she's so much different and...
i honestly really like this idea. i'm thinking of drawing her sometime, but if you want to too! look at some old fifties cars (especially Chevys) for aesthetic inspiration to the battlesuit, and her suit's either cherry red or tiffany blue, all models using white accents...
and a silver Chevron on her chest. her body type, skin tone, precise hairstyle/color, eye color, whether she has freckles or not, suits, what-have-you, that's all dependent on which universe she's in and do whatever take of her you want. everything i've listed here is what...
i'd consider integral to her, similar to like... different eras of her mainline comics, or the comic and movie and tv versions being different. but hell, you wanna modify her just a little further? why not, superheroes have what-if universes all the time, and that's when...
these kinds of things would change. like how batman is always the same story with different particulars, but gets turned on its head in things like flashpoint and is an entirely different thing. but if you do draw art of her, especially if you get to it before i do, please...
tag me so i can see it because i'd just love to see it : ) maybe credit me with inspiring it idk. hell, you have a better name for her or something, let me know, if you don't mind helping out a bit with the OC i just generated with a post that was originally just gonna...
be the literal first sentence in this thread before i got rolling.
