GeorgeStGeorge Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Most likely "Iron Man of Steel". ("Iron", of course, being more of a name or a descriptive word and not a technically accurate one. As was pointed out at the end of the movie "Iron Man", the armor was a titanium alloy but the name sounds better as "iron".) Actually, the concept here reminds me of the Amalgam character "Iron Lantern." Hal Stark found the crashed spaceship of an alien, and used the Power Battery to power an armor that saved his life and could form energy constructs when he focused his will. For those not versed in such things, "Amalgam" was a series of comics essentially fusing the DC and Marvel universes. This gave us Iron Lantern; Thorion (Thor + Orion); JLX (JLA + X-Men); and, God help us, Lobo the Duck, among others. :lol: WW is up. (I thought Iron Man of Steel had a nice ring to it, though Raf's comment is well-taken.) George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordWolf Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Ok, I will once again be very sneaky when doing a movie round. A British secret agent is lured out of retirement. (His successor and "namesake" was ineffective.) He is placed in charge of MI6 partly because of horrible attrition as agents are killed all over the world. He then orders that ALL surviving MI-6 agents in the field will be assigned the same name and will all be namesakes. We follow the story of a NEW agent who is assigned with all the others, first in Miami, then in Montenegro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WordWolf Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I believe that this is as when you used two "Avengers" movies. "Casino Royale." George That's what this is. The newer Casino Royale was a reboot of the 007 series, with Daniel Craig beginning James Bond's career as an MI-6 agent. The older Casino Royale was a spoof, where the original James Bond was brought out of retirement, and we see that there's been at least 1 JB since, and the original renames the remaining MI-6 and any new talent they tap AS "James Bond" to confuse the bad guys. Ultimately, it was that James Bond's last case. With all the new "James Bonds" running around, adding Daniel Craig into the mix actually makes sense. Hey, if Peter Sellers as a baccarat master made sense, a new actual agent makes more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
