Back to fic ideas that are living in my head rent free 

I still didn’t decide if this is after Ultron or Civil War but sometime where Tony is not being treated well by the Avengers, while in a mission to a Hydra base Tony is hit with a beam and the Avengers Think he died and move on with their lives (could show what happened in a chapter or one-shot), but really Tony is actually transported to a different universe to a HYDRA/SHIELD base where they think they have a chance with having this new Tony Stark in their hands, and start the process of regressing him and turning him into an Omega with the side plan to kill the current Tony Stark and put this one in his place after brainwashing of course, and “Exposing” Tony as an Omega and taking control of his Money and the Avengers this way all being SHIELD’s back and with SHIELD’s support (WSC think that this way they can control Tony Stark).

While regressing (for easer brain washing) Tony and starting on turning him into an Omega the Villain Iron Man attacks SHIELD and sees the younger him (Thinking around 5/6 years old in body) there in one of the laps so he stages a blow up and takes his younger self back with him with all the files to see what the deal is now, making everyone who knew about this project think that the subject was dead.

Tony starts reading the files and the more he reads from the files the more he gets angry and hating SHIELD even more (Stark here doesn’t know that HYDRA is there yet, he just hates SHIELD and doesn’t trust them At. All.).

At his secret hideout (a secret lab at the Tower) he wakes Tony up and from there things get weird for both of them, a bonding process starts that usually happens between parent and child, apparently Stark being an Alpha and Tony being an Omega kick started a bonding between them being so biologically similar but different enough for the bonding to take.

Stuck together and not being able to leave until Tony stops shaking and needing physical contact and Stark stops needing Tony to always be near they start to get to know about each other and the geeking out about the alternate universe theory, and from there Tony learns that what happened to him was because of SHIELD/HYDRA, because hay SHIELD knew what they were doing to him, and were okay with it.

After planning and scheming they decided to introduce Tony as Stark’s Son from a previous relationship (one before the one he has now with Bruce Banner (the only one in the Avengers who knows Tony Stark is the villain Iron Man)), where the mother had him and didn’t tell Stark about it till she died, she was an Italian Model who quit modeling and went to live in a rural village in Italy and just died leaving Anton to be in his father’s care.

From there Stark tells Bruce to come and bond with his new ‘son’, and hide it enough for Natasha to find out and outs him to the Avengers, an interdiction is made for ‘Anton’ the Italian little omega child of Tony Stark, giving Tony the excuse of not understanding this new universe and its costumes, at first Anton wanted to immediately start helping Stark but a rule was made that he won’t help Iron Man in missions until he learns about this universe and how to act like he was from it before doing any helping.

At first the I’d like the fic to be more about getting used to the idea of being an omega and living like one (from dressing to how to act around other people and how to tell what they are from smell alone), getting used to being a child again with a surprisingly an over protective Stark as father and kind and loving Bruce as mother.

Then after getting used to living there and being an omega he starts helping in Iron Man missions dismantling SHIELD/HYDRA, and father Alpha Tony gets help from little omega Tony ‘Anton’ as his alibi, even going to so far as to make Iron Man appear in times where Tony Stark is out in public so that there is no one doubting that Tony Stark and Iron Man and two different people.

…

Kinda love the idea that Omega’s here have more feminine clothing, and also seeing that the story is Anton came from a small village from Italy he would have a different style of clothing at the beginning that moves to be more American style, could even have a little rule for omegas to always wear hats when out in public, just some ideas where Tony having to get used to many different changes happening and him adapting and getting used to them, and thriving in them.

+ Love the idea that alpha Tony wakes FRYDAY to be with Anton and helping him around, even maybe helping him style and choose his clothing, and the excuse they use for giving a child an AI is that at the beginning Anton doesn’t speak English and only speaks Italian, and from there Anton gets to have JARVIS and FRYDAY which is like a dream to him because he lost JARVIS in his universe.

+Also Omega love Soft things here and Anton gets to have the softest clothes, bedding, towels, etc.

+ Anton is living the time of his life having the childhood he didn’t get to have with great parents in Tony and Bruce, even if Anton and Tony bond over fucking SHIELD/HYDRA over.

☆ HAPPY FEBRUARY FEMFEST A FEW DAYS LATE LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL MANIAC ☆

science pros || dr. theresa june covington, a.k.a. the toxic doxie

|| background ||

↳ SO ASIDE FROM a throwaway line about running over her father with a tractor at age 12 (god this princess) really all we know of the fabulously psychotic Dr. Covington starts with her time doing post-doctorate research in genetic medicine.

A chance meeting at a faculty party with Edward Wynne, a brilliant biologist with a birth defect, provides her Eureka moment. “If biology is malleable,” she explains, “then it is perfectable.” It’s then that she goes the rest of the way in developing her genetic plug-in technology, which, as mentioned before, allows her to make changes to the genetic structure itself.

She experiments some on herself and lots on other people, mostly urban poor. Most of whom die horribly because Too Much Genetic Tinkering, the rest of whom die less horribly but still very much dead because June Doesn’t Share Modifications. She presents her research to Wynne, who’s properly horrified and has her immediately fired and escorted from campus. June then takes her work underground, ultimately resulting in anywhere from hundreds to thousands of deaths, and exacts the chilling sort of revenge you’d expect on Wynne. She’s later so very arrested for pulling exactly this kind of bullshit; by this time, however, she's had a chance to modify her own genetic structure to the point of extreme physical resilience and BONUS TOXIC BLOOD.

When Goblin Cult members break fellow prisoner Norman Osborn out, he frees the rest of Special Containment Center High-Priority Prisoner Room Class of ‘11, June included. She and Norman meet up for post-jailbreak drinks and weird villain flirting (over LIVE SHRIMP) just before he turns himself in to the authorities. June infiltrates the Raft, where he’s being held, posing as a prison physician. 

We never really find out why. It’s a cool setup for an interesting plot and exploration of political intricacies that unfortunately winds up being dropped in favor of a second pass at the Dark Avengers plot. Osborn’s broken out of prison (again) and starts a Dark Avengers team (again); June joins the team as (sigh) his Scarlet Witch. This Dark Avengers team later has more adventures that, I'm gonna level with you, don’t make a lot of sense in another dimension. Characterization is… hit or miss.

June’s currently appearing in the fantastic Avengers Assemble, where so far she’s co-opted Inhuman genes for her own personal use, sexually harassed Anya Corazon’s unconscious Inhuman teacher (poor Mr. Schlickeisen) in the process, and terrorized the living heckie out of a local AIM cell. That’s our girl.

|| suggested reading: ||

↳ Osborn: Evil Incarcerated, a 5-issue miniseries by Kelly Sue Deconnick and Emma Rios (featuring a bonus introductory short on June by Warren Ellis and Jamie McKelvie). It's Covington's first appearance in comics and she repeatedly steals the show.

↳ Avengers Assemble (021-024; arc concludes with 025, not yet out). Again, Deconnick and Ellis knock it out of the park with a fantastically creepy June. Matteo Buffagni's art on the healing suit that made most of us sit up and notice June in the first place is so gorgeous I could spit.

↳ IF YOU MUST (i've been there): June's involvement in the Dark Avengers 2.0 nutroll is as follows: 

New Avengers vol. 2, 018-023, by Brian Michael Bendis.

Dark Avengers 175, 177-190, Jeff Parker.

It's just a cameo in one panel, but in Red She-Hulk 058 it's noted that the superhuman military project Betty clashes with was sped along by the confiscation  & application of some of Covington's research.

science pros || karen beecher-duncan a.k.a. bumblebee

first appeared: Teen Titans #45 (1976)

who is she? Karen Beecher was a scientist and girlfriend to Mal Duncan, a Teen Titans member under the alias Herald. To make her boyfriend look good in front of his teammates, Karen created a bumblebee-themed super suit for herself and attacked the team, then escaped without the Titans figuring out that she'd tricked them. Later, Karen came back and told the Titans what she'd done; they were so impressed they offered her membership into the team, which she accepted.

Karen and Mal then became members of Teen Titans West, and when that team disbanded they 'retired' from super heroing and got married. The two returned to the hero scene from time to time, most notably during the JLA/Titans event, during which Karen fought the JLA member Zauriel (but was defeated). After that Karen and her husband joined the new Teen Titans West, now called Teen Titans L.A., but the team never really went anywhere.

During the Infinite Crisis event, Karen, her husband, and several other heroes were recruited by Donna Troy to stop a catastrophe that would destroy the universe. When Adam Strange attempted to transport these heroes away from a rift in space using a Zeta Beam Ray, he accidentally trapped them there. Those who were involved were affected by the rift; Karen's mass was transferred to Hawkgirl, leaving her at a mere six inches in height. After that she joined the Doom Patrol (before the New 52) alongside her husband, who had taken the new codename of Vox. She was taking medicine given to her by the leader of Doom Patrol in order to keep her from going into cardiac arrest because of her tiny form. She had grown to seven inches and could live in a dollhouse before the Flashpoint event that rewrote DC continuity.

what can she do? Karen has no supernatural abilities; her powers come from what she designed for herself using her scientific expertise. Her suit allowed her to shrink herself to a much smaller size (which she couldn't control after her interaction with the rift in space-time, hence the medicine to keep her heart from seizing) as well as acting as a type of armor that not only enhanced her durability but also enhanced her strength. As well as the suit, Karen built herself a cybernetic helmet that included solar-powered antennae to create the electricity she needed for her "bee stings" and the quarts prism eyepieces she used to utilize these stings. On top of that, the wings she built into her costume allowed her to fly and create sonic disruptions through their rapid movements. 

Beyond the suit and accessories she created for super hero work, Karen is a research scientist who worked at S.T.A.R. labs for a time. Though her field has never been explicitly stated, she has a general knowledge in many engineering practices.

Ranita Carter is a scientist who worked under Doctor Megala at The Continuum, studying Captain Atom. She was the youngest doctoral candidate ever to do so.

Being the only one who interacted with him like he was still human, they struck up a close friendship. Though she was in a (somewhat tumultuous) relationship with a fellow scientist, her friendship with Nathaniel did eventually turn romantic. However, the first time she reached out to touch his face, Nathaniel's radiation burned her. Though he was able to heal her, it caused Nathaniel much guilt, and consequently, a brief rift. When Nathaniel learned how to manifest a human version of his body, their romantic feelings for each other finally came to fruition.

In an alternate future he created (though ultimately later destroyed) through his interference with the world, she gained powers and fought for good in his name.

Ranita appeared in issues 0-12 of the dcnu's (canceled) Captain Atom series. You can them read them HERE.

Jemma Simmons for Science Pros Week

"I can’t be a part of your bad-girl shenanigans. I like following the rules and doing what’s expected of me. It makes me feel nice." - Jemma, "The Hub"

"There’s only one person on this plane capable of finding a solution for this, and I’m willing to bet my life she will." - Phil Coulson, about Jemma, "F.Z.Z.T".

"Well, Simmons is probably smarter, technically, but that’s only because she likes homework more than life itself." - Fitz, about Jemma, "Seeds".

  First appearance: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, “Pilot”

Occupation: Bio-chemist and occasional field-agent, clearance level 5.

History: Jemma graduated from the S.H.I.E.L.D Academy of Science and Technology an unprecedented three years earlier than intended, with friend and research partner Leo Fitz, (giving them both the nickname ‘Fitzsimmons’.) Jemma and Fitz both applied for field work as part of the science crew in Phil Coulson’s team, and together have solved many cases with their joint inventions; the Night-Night gun, D.W.A.R.F drones, and many more. Her confident and optimistic nature is an asset to the team, though it sometimes leads her into dangerous situations, and she cares very deeply for her new-found friends. Jemma demonstrated exceptional courage in her key episode, “F.Z.Z.T”, where she was contaminated with an alien virus and chose to sacrifice herself instead of risking the safety of her team- but managed to create a successful antidote under stressful timed conditions and was saved.

Jemma’s key episodes are; 

F.Z.Z.T (1.06)

The Hub (1.07)

The Well (1.08)

Seeds (1.12)

T.R.A.C.K.S (1.13)

Dr. Doris Zuel better known as Giganta

Dr. Doris Zuel and her research partner Bronson developed encephalogic exchange circuitry while working at the Gateway City Memorial Hospital, it was a technological process that would allow the exchange of one mind into the body of another. Doris had developed it in order to save her life, her body was dying of an unnamed disease but she was convinced her mind could live on. When Wonder Woman fell into a coma and was taken in by the hospital Doris saw her chance.

Unfortunately the transfer sequence was interrupted, both by death of Wonder Woman’s body (it didn’t keep) and by Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark. Doris Zuel’s body, weakened by the transfer attempt and the disease, passed away on the table. Doris’ mind, however, was safe in the transfer buffer of the encephalogic exchange circuitry. Later, Bronson would return to the scene of the crime and complete the transfer, transferring Doris’ mind into the largest primate they had on site, a gorilla named Giganta.

Doris’ would transfer her mind one more time, into the body of a comatose circus’ strongwoman named Olga. This is the body she would keep. Olga’s body (now Doris’) was affected by a spell from a shaman which gave it the ability to grow several stories high.

Giganta joins many teams over the years, teaming up with classic Wonder Woman villians like Circe and the Cheetah as well as briefly joining the Secret Six. She is part of a team called Villains Inc. which is one of the only times Doris uses her clearly brilliant mind.

Yes, I hate to disappoint all the Science Pros out there but after reading through quite a bit of Giganta’s appearances, many of which are team efforts or brief cameos, after her origin and the team up with Villains Inc. the only time a scientific bent is implied is when she (briefly) reforms to take a job at Ivy University in All New Atom.                 

Issues Featuring Giganta (for more than a second or her getting hit in the face)

WW V2 – 126-127, 136, 179-183

WW V3 – 1-3, 36

 Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 (July 1985)

H I S T O R Y:

 Kimiyo Hoshi, a thoroughly unpleasant and selfish woman, was a medical doctor and the supervising astronomer at an observatory in Japan, overseeing a group of male astronomers charting the unnatural effects of the Crisis on Infinite Earths. As the Crisis continued, Hoshi's fascination with the phenomenon grew into an obsession while the men grew concerned for their safety, shortly they fled leaving her to study the Crisis alone through her telescope. Meanwhile, the Monitor sensed his enemy, the Anti-Monitor, absorbing yet another positive-matter Earth with his antimatter cloud. In order to tip the scales for the heroes of the positive universe, the Monitor activated one last warrior.

He sent a devastating beam of energy from the star Vega to Earth, which struck the observing Hoshi, leaving massive destruction in its wake. Granted the power of photonics and the name Doctor Light, Hoshi was assigned by the Monitor to guard one of the vibrational forks needed to save the Earth. She clashed with Teen Titans members and Justice Leaguers because she couldn't speak to them in English, Superman was the first to communicate with her, given his knowledge of most of Earth's languages. Once the Earth's heroes and villains were brought aboard the Monitor's satellite, the Japanese-speaking Katana took over as Kimiyo's translator. Doctor Light, granted the ability to understand English, accompanied several heroes to the anti-matter universe to confront the Anti-Monitor. She and Superman soon discovered the machines that the villain had deployed to destroy the Earth. The Anti-Monitor ambushed the Man of Steel; Doctor Light defended Superman as best she could. Another hero arrived, and sacrificed her life and even her very existence, allowing Doctor Light to carry the unconscious Superman to safety, even as she could not remember the individual who made the sacrifice anymore. Seeing that hero's sacrifice made Doctor Light realize how selfish she had been, and she resolved to change. 

She is potentially one of the most powerful superheroines in the universe, but she has not tapped into the heightened levels of power she used during the Crisis.

Although few remember those events clearly, Doctor Light is one of the few who do. Doctor Light has joined the Justice League a few times over the years most notably as a member of Justice League Europe. She was also a one-time ally of the Outsiders and was briefly part of an incarnation of the Doom Patrol.

While a member of the Justice League, Doctor Light formed significant friendships with the Flash and Power Girl.
