Derek Tavish

Derek Tavish is a Panamoan engineer best known for his company, Tavish Defence Systems, which creates advanced weapons and sought, but failed, to replicate the Iron Man Armour.
== Personality ==
Derek Tavish is an egotistic businessman who competes against Michael Nexima. While Tavish is overconfident, he is also incompetent in terms of the quality of his technology, some of which are completely faulty and even dangerous to the user, such as an attempt to replicate Nexima's Iron Man Armour, which results in the pilot's injury, the outdated software at Tavish Defence Systems, which Bulski describes as "shit," and the "Exterminator," which, despite being marketed as a weapon of mass destruction, does not even scratch nor penetrate Bulski's upgraded armour.
Following the repeated diversion of media attention from Tavish to Nexima, particularly following the reveal of Iron Man's identity and subsequent humiliation, Derek Tavish began engaging in legally dubious activities in order to gain an advantage over Nexima, even breaking terrorist Frank Bulski out of prison and convincing him to assist Tavish. Derek Tavish, despite claiming to be a businessman, appears to be deficient in fresh ideas.
== Abilities ==
Derek Tavish is simply know for being a goofy but somewhat exceptional businessman and possessed great level of engineering expertise that made his company stand out in the Panamoan Republic, even for a while.
=== Skills ===
*Master Businessman: is an exceptional businessman, running an industry of sufficient standing to be a rival for Nexima Robotics Corporation and possess government and military contracts. Tavish had hoped to use Frank Bulski to create Sigma Reactors for Tavish Defence when he saw the business opportunities that that technology provided. During the Expo, Tavish had put on a show of some dance moves in order to get the attention put on him and his company. He then proceeded to reveal his Tavish Drones (Which are blatant copies of the NRC military-issued drones) with military songs playing over it so that the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic believe it's the right choice for them. His business was even successful after he got arrested. 
*Expert Engineer: Although not at the same level as Michael Nexima, Tavish is still an accomplished engineer, having created many weapons deemed to be the equivalent of a grade A military weapon that has impressed the Panamoan government.
== Trivia ==
