Man of Iron

     Imperialist and steel baron, Anthony Edward Stark, while overseeing construction of a new steam powered weapon was taken prisoner during the Mexican American War.  He was instructed to build the weapon for his captors, instead he build a suit and escaped.  He later refined the suit to a more formidable weapon.

     Designed to have a industrial fantasy feel the suit is complete with interlocking gears, cogs and smokestacks.  He comes with flame throwers and a jet pack with removable flame.  He is covered in rivets and a paint scheme that is reminiscent of the classic Iron Man look.  Below is an image of Tony Stark and a removable suit of armor designed with Australian bank robber Ned Kelly in mind.

Thor

     Norwegian immigrant and railway worker , Lars Olsen, discovered an ancient Viking Hammer buried in a mountain, while excavating for a tunnel. The hammer was that of the Viking god Thor and had been hidden in the mountain by Loki, the god of mischief.  The Hammer, responding to Olsen's Scandinavian heritage, allowed the God of Thunder to posses the body of the human.

     I originally planned an African American railway worker named Thor, kind of John Henry on steroids.  I eventually decided he was not "Thor" enough so went for a more classic design.   The neckerchief is supposed to be like his cape, and the classic blue, black, yellow color scheme is there.  The steel rivets are like smaller versions of the classic silver discs on his chest.
