Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"And with the final design for the thaumatic reactor being sent in for patenting, we can begin the industrial phase as soon as your return from Saddle Arabia."
Fancy Pants nodded, flipping through the fiscal notes of the current quarter, "Excellent news, Mrs. Spice, excellent indeed! I look forward to Fancy Industries finally getting more of a leg up in the new market for magical technology- hmm... remind me to schedule a board meeting for a portmanteau branding session."
"Yes sir, Mr. Pants," Spice said, jotting down a note. There was a small moment of silence before she spoke up again.
"Sir, I... may I voice some concerns?"
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Fancy Pants, "I don't know what impression I gave that would suggest otherwise- I value your input highly, Mrs. Spice."
"Well..." She shifted a little, "I'm just a little worried- a technological demonstration in Saddle Arabia? And so close to the border with Tauros? To be frank, sir, it seems ill conceived."
Fancy Pants nodded, "Ah, is that all?"
He stood up, clapping a hand reassuringly on his assistant, "I assure you, I have taken every measure of precaution for this trip. Security detail, professional military assistance- I believe the common folk refer to it as "The Works", yes?"
"Yes, that sounds about right."
Fancy Pants smiled, "So, chin up! Nothing could possibly go wrong!"
"Billionaire philanthropist and magitech powerhouse CEO of Fancy Industries has been declared missing during a demonstration in Saddle Arabia," the news anchor declared. Snails blinked once, a spoonful of cereal dripping back into his bowl. He shrugged once, and went back to eating.
"Mom, your boss is on the news."
I get the feeling that Fancy Pants won't have nearly as many problems with alcoholism.

So, Iron Man with less alcohol and more of RDJ's British accent from the Holmes movies?
Yeah, I'd watch that remaster.
I'm going to guess that he set this up specifically because he wanted to suit up.
EDIT: Although I think an Earth aspect would be better at it.

There is a story somewhere on this site where in Twilight is Ironmare but her horn was broken off when she was kidnapped. Which meant Twilight had little to no magic anymore, so she had to rely more in the tech.
Not that I want someone to lose their gem (and especially not Fancy Pants), but if he lost his magic it would give him a lot of extra problems. And superheroes need problems. Maybe Tirek is involved in this whole debacle, he's known to suck magic and steal/destroy head-gems.
@ArtieStroke, are we going to see Fancy Pants in "Playing Hero"? The set-up in this snippet feels perfect for his introduction...
Also, there's not much chance that anyone's going to be a deep-cover Hydra agent.....
The Invincible Iron Pants!

I feel like I ought to respond to this with that gif of Rhianna doing the finger pointing/flicking thing, but I'm on mobile so this will have to suffice:
I want to read Tony's "I'm not the heroic type" speech in Fancy Pants' distinct voice!

Fancy Pants is now Varrick?
"So your repulsor jet control system is located in the armor's legs, Fancy?"
"A bit higher."
"Ah, so you really DO fly by the seat of your pants, Fancy."
