## Titanium

It is presumed that much of Earth-288’s Adrian’s backstory is the same as his Earth-489 counterpart, but his universe destroyed at some point by Dr. Stefan Strange. The way that it happened is unknown, but everyone in the universe was killed in the process, though Baron Karl Mordo noticed what was happening and came up with a plan to save the universe. He went to the Avengers of his Earth, only to find that only Tony Stark and Adrian were still alive, though Tony was disappearing. Mordo took Adrian to another universe, where he trained him in sorcery.

Ten years later, Adrian was now a powerful sorcerer, and had control over his mutant abilities. Adrian went to another universe and convinced that universe’s version of Dr. Strange to let him borrow the time stone. He then used it to travel to that universe’s future and grappled the other stones out of Thanos’s hands while he wasn’t looking. Adrian then quickly returned to another universe before Thanos could do anything.

Adrian and Mordo then travelled the to Nidavallier of another universe and had Eitri the dwarf build Adrian a suit of uru armor that would allow the power of the stones to flow through it, keeping Adrian safe.

Adrian and Mordo returned to their universe with the Infinity Stones. Once the universe was seemingly restored, Mordo betrayed Adrian and tried to kill him. Adrian stopped him only to find that the universe was dying again and could not be restored. Adrian used the stones to gather the stones if his Earth and left, never to return.

Adrian would return the original stones to their own universe, but did not know what to do. That is, until he had an idea. He went to a universe where humans didn’t evolve and used his new Infinity Stones to build a great city. He imprisoned Mordo, and started going on a quest through the multiverse to rescue every version of Adrian Shroud who’s universe was destroyed and bring them back to this universe. Additionally, he saved whoever else he could.

After a few years, Adrian accidentally went to Earth-489, believing it to be in danger of collapsing, and encountered the main version of Adrian Shroud, who he teamed up with to take down the interdimensional being Gargantos. Adrian told his counterpart that he could always join him in the other universe if his universe was ever destroyed, and that he would know and be sure to be there. Adrian Prime thanked him, and Earth-288’s Adrian went back to his city.

## Appearance

Earth-288’s Adrian looks exactly like his main universe counterpart, but slightly older, and with a full beard. He also never takes off his armor, which appears as a gunmetal grey Iron Man suit with six slots on the chest above the Arc-Reactor, which house the Infinity Stones. His suit has red and blue paint on it.

## Powers and Abilities

* Electricity Manipulation
* Genius-Level Intellect
* Can create clear, blue shields around whatever he wants to. This is a mutant ability, not part of his suit.
* Is a master sorcerer, and the sorcerer supreme.

Additionally, his armor gives him the following abilities:

* Detachable rocket boosters that can be used in three different ways. They can reattach to the right arm to increase the impact of a punch, they can fire mini-unibeams, and they can reflect lasers.
* Flight
* Fire repulsor blasts and lasers out of his hands
* Unibeam
* Access to his AI, A.L.I.A.S.
* Connection to other Stark Tech to speak with others
* High Durablity
* Hacking tool
* A piece of his armor was enchanted by himself to make him immune to magic when inside the armor.
* Since his armor is made of uru, it is almost impossible to destroy

Additionally, Adrian wields all six Infinity Stones, allowing him to do basically anything, though he almost never uses their full power.

## Trivia

* This version of Adrian is very mistrusting of alternate versions of Dr. Strange and Baron Mordo.
* This version of Adrian is a member of a multiversal Illuminati.
