Alice Stark is a billionaire industrialist, CEO of Stark Universal and is Iron Man. A self-proclaimed genius and philanthropist, Stark has made herself one of the most powerful people in the world following the death of her parents at a young age. Kidnapped for her military equipment known as Jericho, her life was put on the line and her ideals having changed ever since.

## Appearance

Standing at 5'8, Alice has a petite mesomorph frame. Short blonde hair with brown roots flows down to her shoulders, usually brushed over to one side showing her light hazel coloured eyes.

On her chest is a bright blue arc reactor, powering her body and preventing metal fragments entering her heart. Under light clothing, the blue light can peak through - choosing to wear darker clothing since the accident.

Along the wrist of her right hand is a faint white tattoo on her prosthetic hand, almost invisible to the naked eye. Under a black light, the Stark Universal logo is revealed in a blue tone. Manufactured and created by Alice, the Prodigy arm will never be made available for anyone else in the world.

## Powers/Abilities

* ***Enhanced Strength (right arm) :*** Created in mind with the hopes of still being able to defend herself when her suit wasn't around, Alice manufactured herself the Prodigy arm - a semi permanent prosthesis developed with the worlds strongest metal, *adamantium;* created with the potential of pain receptors powered by the arc reactor in her chest. When force is applied, the arm physically opens allowing air to escape through vents above the knuckles and on four points on the wrists, preventing the outer shell of the arm from imploding on itself. In a forward motion the prosthetic wrist detaches itself from the main component, temporarily powered a small arc of electrical energy released in to the main cylinder by the reactor in Stark's chest. Releasing the small burst prevents her heart from taking in too much force and evidently killing her. The maximum force that can he applied is enough to move a vehicle a few metres, but will put her arm out of commission for a few hours while it cools. When the arm hits, the wrist and main cylinder clap - releasing all the energy constructed within outward through the knuckles. Pressure is then released through the vents, letting the arm quickly cool down as much as it can before taking in cool air. The strength applied is determined on the charging time. The stronger the force, the longer the arm takes to absorb energy and longer it takes to cool. Punches with little force absorb lesser amounts of arc energy, allowing Alice to throw multiple punches in quick succession.
* ***The New Element Arc Reactor Mark III :*** The successor of the palladium core arc reactor put in her chest after the incident in Afghanistan, Alice created many versions - the Mark III powering all current and future suits. Created with an element originally discovered by her father, Alice synthesized it resulting in a new and more powerful clean energy source. Eventually, Alice created an enlarged version capable of providing self-sustaining power for up to a year - currently powering Stark Universal.

## History

Military equipment was where Alice's legacy began, but not for good reason. Years into creating Stark Universal, her goal was to make the world a safer place from those who would attempt to do it harm after the murder of her parents Howard and Maria Stark.

The one that took the world by surprise were the "*Jericho"* missiles, the latest weapon off of the belt and the first system to feature repulsorlift technology. Calculating distance from a given target, when at a designated height - would split into 16 smaller missiles, hitting the target at strategic places and letting off an extremely powerful blast and shockwave affecting those within miles.

During a demonstration for the unreleased missiles to the U.S Military on world wide television, Alice Stark was attacked and abducted soon after during a convoy by a terrorist group known as the Ten Rings - leaving her gravely injured with a hole and electromagnet connected by a battery in the cavity of Stark's chest to prevent shrapnel reaching her heart and killing her by a captive doctor. Determined to get their hands on the missiles, the organisation took things off of Alice's hands - quite literally.

Given an ultimatum, Stark either had to create a replica of the Jericho missile and be let go, or to be killed.

The Ten Rings did what they could to get Alice to create one from scratch - resorting to torture for days at a time while they got no answers. Ultimately, Alice's determination caused her pain - and the loss of her right hand during the process.

The doctor and Stark began to create the Jericho missile from crude materials given to them from the organisation, all while creating their own hopes of survival alongside. Stark's heart was failing, and needed something to keep him alive other than a car battery. Together, the pair created a small arc reactor, capable of keeping Alice alive a little while longer and enough to power something else.

The industrialist and doctor began to make a suit to help them escape the hole they were in from the materials they were given for the missile, a prototype suit of armor powered by the arc reactor in Stark's chest. Hidden almost to completion, the Ten Rings discovered their intentions and attempted to attack the pair.

The doctor didn't escape with his life, instead sacrificing himself to give Stark a little more time to quickly finish the suit of armor. Burning the Ten Rings weapons in anger, Stark used her repulsors and escaped the area only to crash in the desert and destroy the suit of armor.

Rescued by military forces, Stark swore to stop manufacturing weapons. The loss of her hand began one of her many endeavours, from fully functional prosthetics to suits of armor and artificial intelligence for her to protect those who can't protect themselves.
