He'd get flattened. The basis of iron man originally was that he invented the best kind of portable nuclear power source; he then upgrades that even further, mass produces it, attaches it to an army of drones, specialised units, and anti-superhero containment devices.

Might be an interesting mini series eg Iron Man Noir but Vanilla Iron Man would wipe the floor with anything in that universe.

Probably even MCU Iron Man

Maybe, but e would be a better X-Men villain though.

You underestimate Frank Horrigan.

He isn't just some big guy in bulky power armor. He's an 18-foot tall, genetically-augmented cybernetic death machine that can tear through virtually anything. He's traversed the horrors of a post-apocalyptic world, and literally torn some of the most dangerous beings in his respective world in half.

Also, he's backed by the US government- which has its own power armored troops, gunships, robots and bioweapons.

Tony Stark would work with Frank Horrigan to eradicate some sort of super powered threat that regular heroes were too squeamish to kill, then Stark would turn on Horrigan pretending that he had nothing to do with Horrigan's crimes and play the hero for defeating him in combat in front of the media.

Stark would defeat Horrigan by simply deactivating the suit of power armour that he built for Frank, or making some other enhancement that he designed backfire.

This is also acceptable, the product of o some sort of CIA backed sentinel type program.

The Master would work pretty well as an X-Men villain, he's basically a scarier telepathic version of Magneto from X2.

He'd be a pretty interesting alternative to Magneto. If Charles believed that everyone could get along, and Magneto believed that mutants were superior and must triumph in the inevitable conflict, then the Master would be trying to bring about peace while accepting Magneto's view on the superiority of mutants. It's a synthesis of their two philosophies.

Sort of unrelated, but I always thought that a beefed up Caesar’s Legion would be a great villain faction for Wonder Woman.

Elijah would make a great Batman villain desu

I could kind of see that, if they were more self-governing and not dependent on Caesar for survival.

Eh, they only really work in the obviously evil but actually not so different to the NCR thing they have in context.

>Wonder Woman villains
>not Kamandi villains

So is it See-sar or Kai-sar

Kai-sar is the correct Latin pronunciation. I don't know where See-sar came from.

I’m more so talking about the modded version of the Legion. They’re a lot more threatening with Caesar’s New Regime and The Frontier is going to probably have a shit load of cool looking Legion units and vehicles.

>I don't know where See-sar came from.
Languages always change given enough isolation and time. Even look at all the words that came from weird pronunciations of "Caesar": Kaiser, Czar, Tsar, Kaiser, Cesare, César, etc. I'm sure even during the Empire there were different ways to pronounce the same word due to regional dialects.

Horrigan was probably one of the most physically powerful villains in Fallout lore but that's in the context of his own universe, Iron Man would absolutely stomp him.

In proper Latin it's Kai-sar because of how the language works, C makes a K sound, AE makes a AI sound, etc.

Anglos

Is there any Sup Forums character who could defeat Joshua Graham?

>Very tough but ultimately normal human dude with a Commander Model 1911
As much as I loved Joshua there are a lot of character even in Fallout lore who could absolutely destroy him

It always bugged me that the Legion had enough of a Rome boner to get autistic with the pronunciation, but not enough to insist on the full thing.

"Imperator Caesar [insert name here] [insert like 7 extraneous titles here]"

I mean, he's a super soldier, so he's at least as strong as cap america. Maybe a weak hulk? Mutants get stronger with radiation. He's also wearing power armor that shrugs off rockets, so he's really tanky as well

New Vegas Graham or Van Buren Graham?

Yes

>Caesar’s New Regime

Jesus

>Elijah would make a great Batman villain desu

Most of the New Vegas villains would work okay as Batman villains. Caesar's legion makes some sense for Wonder Woman because of the misogyny but they're just a gang of dudes with weird beliefs. Caesar is like Maxie Zeus is Zeus' gang believed him whole heartedly while Maxie himself was just knowingly playing a character. Wouldn't be so ridiculous given that Ares is real in DC, but it'd be interesting to see what Ares made of it all.

Joshua Graham would be a fun batman villain.

Mr. House would work for a campy Batman series

Most of them lose so much when you take them out of their original context though because they're really well written. Elijah is a great villain but he's not half as compelling when he's not trying to reclaim a long gone golden age by scrambling around in the ruins of what was a sleazy casino.

I'm certain it wasn't intentional but that does actually work well with the Legions Lore, Caesar himself isn't some godly figure perfectly emulating Roman beliefs and society, he's just some glorified warlord with a god complex that managed to conquer a bunch of tribes because they didn't really have any concept of total war while he read some cliff notes about Roman military tactics; his legion has delusions that they're some perfect society led that stand completely against all forms of degeneracy while their leader just wants to conquer shit to satisfy his ego.
They don't actually know fuckall about Rome, Edward took Caeser not as a title, but as a name.

But who will deal with the think tank?

He's cool, and in Honest Hearts he's a bit of a beast, but at best he's Deadshot with morals and lots of scar tissue.

Liberty Prime would wreck him and Liberty Prime isn't even a good Iron Giant knock off.

True, but Caesar is smart enough to know how valuable a cult of personality is for hordes of uneducated people. Giving yourself a bunch of titles and honorifics helps solidify your image as a powerful person.

>Liberty Prime
Liberty Prime has no business being the unstoppable behemoth that it is. Plot armor be damned, there is no good reason a few anti-tank rounds couldn't take it down with all those exposed joints and sensitive electronics

What’s wrong with CNR?

But, in a way, so does just giving yourself a single name that makes you seem less like a powerful man with many titles and more like an almost untouchable being that no title does justice.
People don't usually call god "Lord God of Heaven, First and Only of His Name, ________," they just call him god. Think about it, Caesar is never even referred to as things that would makes sense for him like "Emperor" or anything of that nature, it's always just Caesar.

FO3 has a ton of shit wrong with it, but science working on 1950s b-movie logic has been a staple of the franchise since day 1.

The whole reason Emperors gave themselves those giant names was to appear more godlike. Augustus' full title was "Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus" which translates to "Commander Caesar, majestic son of the divine"

>Plot armor be damned, there is no good reason a few anti-tank rounds couldn't take it down
You can say the same thing about Graham

Big MT are so rooted in the retro aesthetic that they'd suit almost any major superhero from the silver age. Who wouldn't you want to see fighting giant robo scorpions? Dredd might fit too.

I know that, but I'm saying in the context of the games and Edward Sallow's fuckhuge ego, it makes sense that he would consider himself above having titles, like his name alone surpasses any title he could possibly have.

>Edward Sallow
I wonder if it was intentional that they gave him the lamest fucking name in the world

Might have been honestly, when you see examples of how much thought and love Sawyer put into the game it's obvious that he didn't do a whole lot "just because"

They gave him that name because it's an anagram of "false prophet"

>Sawyer said that he wanted the first meeting with Joshua to be kind of a "demystifying" encounter, seeing him checking dozens of pistols wasn't supposed to be seen as a badass thing, more like talking to some famous dude while he does something mundane as fuck that he could hand over to someone less important, like hanging up his laundry
>Forgot that the average gamer doesn't own guns and clean guns on a daily basis, as such most folk who played New Vegas were in awe at this bandaged legend lording over dozens of 1911's
Sawyer is /k/ as fuck.

I feel like Sawyer should have seen that coming and had him cleaning some maintenance equipment or something.

Could Batman stop the Mysterious Stranger?

To be fair you do tend to forget that nogunz actually see stripping and cleaning guns as cool after a while.

Batman would just obsess over him and keep a file like Nick.

Subverting expectations was a running theme in the game for nearly everything, but Graham's entire legend leading up to this point was that he was set on fire and thrown into the Grand Canyon, yet here he is bandaged up like a mummy but still not much worse for wear and loading guns to fight off the White Legs. It's Sawyer's fault having the legendary Burned Man built up so high that meeting him while he's sitting on a toilet while he's eating Doritos would seem amazing.

>Joshua Graham would be a fun batman villain.
Hush

They don't share any similarities except the bandages

I am not a gun person, besides my Grandma's shotgun I haven't touch any gun or rifle in my life and I saw him cleaning his guns as a normal thing.

He was preparing for a fight so it made sense and almost everyone in the fallout universe had guns so it wasn't a big deal.

The Think Tank would stomp the shit out everything, that's canon.

fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Old_World_Blues_endings#Cut_ending

Mobius and his scorpions would probably be even worse. Since they're basically on par with Enclave troopers in terms of health and armor.
Weapons are worse, but they have the numbers.

>jobs to Captain America
MCU Iron man would have no chance against Frankie, a 16-foot tall power armored hulk who can make twelve foot tall bulletproof monsters EXPLODE with his punches and totes a machine gun version of a plasma cannon that can reduce power armored troops to goo. By and large he's just not that powerful. His armor is a real world material and he's constantly being threatened by much less.

Holy hell, what? Robo-scorpion weapons hurt like a motherfucker. I'd rather deal with twice the amount of Enclave troopers than Robo-scorpions and their bullshit crit-lasers that cut through DT like melted butter.

Edward Sallow is an anagram of False Prophet? I don't think that's right

>monstrous serial killer who has a boner for Elvis Presley and imitates his mannerisms
Dex Patrick could be a cool one-off Batman villain. Too bad he's cut content.

Yeah, especially when you went through Chief Hanlon's dialogue and learned about how much of a vicious, seemingly unkilled berserker Graham was.

The point was to see him doing something that was seemingly below him, something he could have easily handed off to someone else while he focused on more important things. Again, didn't quite work out as Sawyer intended.

but they're also inaccurate and slow to fire.

...

It is. Learn to read.

If you're at extreme engagement distance, sure, but the canyon portion of Big MT forces you into close quarters and they're faster than you in heavier armor.

I can see that there is no "F" in Edward Sallow

Read it again and get your eyes checked

Oh, I see it now

Shooting guns for the game made him realize how fucking awesome guns are. Never touched them too much before NV

I still don't

Hearing him talk about changing the bandages was the first time I saw him as a dude who got set on fire and not The Burned Man.

Why not give Dala a body so someone would give her the dick she desperately needs?

No, because you cannot defeat the lord God Almighty or his chosen, silly

>I still don't
Are you illiterate or something?

I mean possibly? Then again neither google nor the Fallout wiki returns anything of significance regarding his name. If you have a source for your theory I'll gladly read it.

He*

It's right in front of your face. Rearrange the letters in Edward Sallow's name and you get "False Prophet." You shouldn't have to use a wiki to look this stuff up if you've passed 3rd grade English.

He's shitposting you idiot.

How do we know you aren't shitposting?

he was a horrid villain though

>I want to take from them what they took from me, from my family. In this life, I want them to suffer, I want all of them to die in fear and pain.
>I want to have my revenge; against him, against Caesar. I want to call it my own, to make my anger God's anger, to justify the things I've done.
>Sometimes I tell myself that these wild fires never stop burning, but I'm the one who starts them, not God, not them.
>I can always see it in my mind, the warmth and the heat, it will always be a part of me...
>But not today

Meanwhile, in Fallout 4:
>Good morning Mr. Fuckface!

Frank Horrigan would be the perfect villain for Captain America, Punisher, and Hulk

>eventually Punisher rolls around
>suddenly he has to see what happens when someone does what he does, but with a.) superpowers and b.) political ideology behind it
>of course this is modern Marvel so he'd just spout a bunch of stupid Trump shit, not anything with meaning
>has punch out with Hulk at some point, pissing him off
>eventually becomes a regular enemy for the three, since he's more or less the three combined

Frank's just a REALLY big, beefy dude in a power armor that would be low tier in any comics universe and who has too much LOYALTY to the government.
Couple that with the fact that not only he's not an outstandingly smart guy, but his weaponry is pretty standard and he gets thoroughly wrecked by any A-list superhero any day

I dunno user, half the fun of Horrigan was that he had the entire enclave behind him.
>Me, Frank Horrigan, United States Secret Service, rides over mutie, time to die

He exists in a universe where the firepower necessary to stop him is a rarity
He's only strong in-game because everyone else is weak as fuck

That is true. He could always create/be picked up by some sort of crazy shadow right-wing S.H.I.E.L.D.

I was mostly going off of JUST Frank Horrigan, since OP worded it like that.

Joshua Graham? More like lost Hoover Dam!

>Couple that with the fact that not only he's not an outstandingly smart guy
Frank actually has a 10 in his int stat (granted all his s.p.e.c.i.a.l. stats are 10)

I've always thought that the Master could be a good villain for early Hulk. You know, back when he considered himself a different species from humans and wanted to be left alone. The Master might have offered him a tempting alliance considering the superiority of his genetic material; he might have just aimed to make an army of Hulks over one of supermutants.

Not this faggot again...

I didnt know Sup Forums was so pro trans

We don't call it Sup Forumsmblr for nothing.

The institute

I love fallout threads

The institute sucks though

That's a really interesting adaptation of the idea!

It's more interesting to think about how the general concept of the character would be ported to another setting rather than imagining that they were real and fell through a portal to 616 so we can get autistic about whether plasma guns would work on Iron Man's armour.

It's an ambiguously gendered brain in a jar, they don't even have sexual characteristics any more.

>It's an ambiguously gendered brain in a jar, they don't even have sexual characteristics any more.
Didn't a study on rats prove that male and female brains have slight structural differences?

Can Grognak kill servants?

>it's a Stark does something alturistic only to backstab the other person because it turned out it was all just a ruse for self-serving reasons episode
Why does he keep getting away with it?

>Why does he keep getting away with it?
Because he's a sociopath who knows that good PR goes a long way.

>ATTENTION, IDIOTS OF THE THINK Sup Forums. YOU ARE FORBIDDEN FROM TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES!

have no idea how his wrist mounted super cannon gun thingy would fare against iron mans armor, we know that it can tear through advanced power armor like tissue paper though

The Institute are morons.

Think Tank would be laughing their metaphorical asses off at their ineptitude. House would at least try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but hang his head in shame knowing these are what his college buddies strove to create.
