I meant 'is there', I mean is it just a random song about an iron man, or is it a song abouth the Iron Man, or marvel fame?

ouch. you need help!

Iron Man
by Black Sabbath

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!

Should we create Iron Man as a group effort?

As for his type...

"Is he alive or dead?"

That is the question.

"He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind"

This seems to imply some sort of living construct, but...

"Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved"

This seems to imply undead, yet...

"Iron man lives again!"

...so if he was undead, he may not be anymore.

Thoughts?

One word: Warforged.

Alternatly, start with a human, change it to an undead (by template), then add the half-golem (Iron) template (failed save making it a construct), then add the Incarnate Construct template.

I'm not really feeling the warforged vibe, simply because Iron Man started as a man, became a construct, then, well...you know. The living construct subtype could fit in there somewhere, though.

The second suggestion about sums him up rather nicely. How about instead of the incarnate construct, we add the living construct subtype at the end, as "Iron Man lives again"?

I think he should be a living construct half-iron golem. Probably fighter levels.

Oh, and I hereby volunteer to stat up the Blue Meanies.

Demiurge out.

 

[Shade]

That would probably be the easiest solution. Anybody else?

Bring on the Blue Meanies.

Bring on the Blue Meanies.

Someone really needs to do a living construct template (not me).

And ditto the Blue Meanies, bring 'em on! They'll get pwned by Vic.

Yeah, no kidding. I'll see if I can work one up.

 

[noeuphoria]

Edgecrusher by Fear Factory. For some reason, I just see a big, badass war-machine construct bearing down on some hapless peasants while some deranged priest sits on top screaming break of the.... edgecrusher, break of the.... edgecrusher!!!!

All these ideas sound great. Stat 'em up and post 'em.

I posted a living construct template in Homebrews. Let me know what you think, and help me figure out how to adjust CR and LA.
