Episode 2 - Iron Man (Hero) 

I love the talk about theme and having fun. I know it can be easy to deconstruct MC into a math equation (for those so inclined), but it's much more fun to go for flavor. Whenever it feels like I am the character, I'm usually having a good time win/lose.

This Iron Man suit is indeed from Bendis' run on Invincible Iron Man Volume 3 (2015) #1, and the image used is specifically from Invincible Iron Man #5. Generally speaking, if there's an Art Credit, then it's Commissioned Art and not Comic Book Art. Notably, many of the Female Heroes have Commissioned Art to help ensure they depictions are more "Family Friendly". There are some outliers on the Art Credits, such as Spider-Woman's Nemesis Minion which is taken from the Comics, We know from an FFG Ruling that Iron Man's Hero Maximum Hand Size is hard capped at 7 and cannot go past that maximum amount, not even via something like "Assess the Situation".

I play the game on TTS, wish I could play in person. Just used the 90 degrees of righteousness Drax deck and found this podcast. Love it already

I almost exclusively played him when I first got the game. I thought he was a blast! I played him solo through the 3 villains. It was a nice puzzle trying to navigate through building up the suit. I haven't played him since I got the other expansions, but I'm looking forward to trying him out again when I get my hands on more tech cards and repurpose!

Symbiote Suit + Repurpose Iron Man is honestly insane in multiplayer. He becomes a hyper-carry with little fear of any villain. I know most ppl seem to think that symbiote suit just makes any hero/team better but on iron man it puts in so much more work than on say gamora or ant-man for example.

29:26 so down on Ironman, but I have a blast playing him. If someone is playing Ironman I know exactly how to build my deck so he can be Ironman. It’s a blast!

Whoever said Repurpose feels bad with Iron Man - I don't disagree..until you start Repurposing aspect tech(Forcefield Generators and Energy Barriers) with low counters on them then pulling them back with Stark Tower. Now that feels nice. I like how you equated his Gauntlets to +1 attack(2 if aerial) the only thing to note that's a point against that as a "buff" is each gauntlet gets retaliated. As for what I enjoy about him and why I think you guys are "wrong" - it's literally for all of the reasons you guys said, he wasn't fun. Having a lot of cards on the table doing and assortment of actions for you, cycling your deck quickly so you see the fun cards like Repulsor Blast or whatever you might have built into your kit from aspect, feeling like Iron Man and being the player at the table to save everyone's butts when they(really you) got them into hot water feels so fun to me.

Whoa whoa whoa just started but Genius matters for 2 cards: don’t forget about my girl Moon Girl! (I’m assuming you were referring to Ingenuity) Ok back to the show 😆
