I'm not on my cycle, Pepper!

This will forever be how Iron Man 2 opens in retro's mind: You complete me! This time with added helmet retrieval goodness.

From Iron Man 152. Just pretend it's Pepper and not Beth McCabe -- works for me!

So.... he always wears the Iron Codpiece under his pants eh?

[thatnickguy]

Strictly for...comfort? O_o

[long_silence]

Or protection from angry one night stands

[falseaesop]

Honestly its a wonder he kept his identity secret for so long if he's been sporting those briefs under his pants. Given how often he likes to show off lil' Iron Man.

Stark Industries has a clothing line that markets Iron Man-based underthings.

As the Stark Expo dancers showed off.

I am forced to conceed the point.

Now that is some nice JRJR art there.

Beth McCabe has two hearts? Am I reading that right?

[nezchan]

They beat as one.

Best protection from crotch shots.

The art is gorgeous! And of course that is Pepper (I`m not listening lalalalalala).

But I was always confused about one thing: in the retro armour, the yellow parts (that covered his limbs)...what were they made of? Iron? Because it mimicked his anatomy. And they were flexible without any joints made visible in the fabric. Am I making sense?

Magnetically-polarized metal cloth.

Ah, it`s all clear now. Thanks!

[retro_nouveau]

I'm glad bewareofgeek had the answer. Even if I had been here instead of pedaling a bike 111 miles, I would have had to shrug. Not unstable molecules or Pym particles, but something Tony came up with. Now we both know.

And yay for a fellow Tony and Pepper shipper! :)

[aelflar]

I would have it any other way! :) I blame the movie mostly..and Fraction`s run.

Where`s your icon from, by the way?

[retro_nouveau]

Definitely RDjr and Paltrow that put that in my brain. :)

I made the icon from a scan in a post from the old scans_daily before dreamwidth, so I can't go back to the post to find out the source. :(

Hearing Joker tell Batman, "You complete me," in The Dark Knight has put a very weird spin on this scene for me.
