Iron Man: What powers would you choose ??

[smnolimits41]

I think the title suggests what i'm looking for.  If you were Iron Man, what powers would you take ??

I agree, he's a Sentinel.

But - if you were making him a Defender, go Force Field/Energy Blast with the Fighting Pool and Energy Mastery or Electric Mastery.

You'll have repulsor rays, be able to softcap your defense to all positions and Smashing/Lethal Resistances, and have a nice big energised punch. 

 

And as an out-of-concept bonus you can shield your allies.

I also agree with Thraxen that he's the archetypal Energy/Invul Sent.

 

But if you want to avoid the disappointment that is Energy Blast, are flexible with your interpretations of his powers, and use color tinting, I think a Fire/Inv Sent with the fire colored to your tastes works really well.

 

Flares looks like a flurry of micro rockets.

Blazing Blast looks like a powerful energy beam.

Fire Breath with the alt animation looks like a palm mounted flamer.

Rain of Fire looks like it shouldn't be taken so skip it. 🙃 

 

And so on.

 

Sonic is another option, especially with alt animations. But the sound effects might wreck your immersion.

Note that Radiation Blast is a very good substitute for Energy Blast because it doesn't need to pay the knockback tax and can be recolored to look about the same.
