Okay, so I asked King Kindred to make a single change to Caty's bio to reference Howard Stark instead of Tony. Since no one claimed Iron Man, I had begun formulating plans to bring him in as a teenage character later on. At the time of the first Terrigen Crisis, Tony is still at MIT while Howard is the one running Stark Industries. When I introduce him to the story, he will not be powered like the other characters, but wearing an exosuit to fight whatever villains we are facing at that time. This will also create an opening if any of you want to play extra non-powered heroes who use technology instead or were somehow modified by Tony separate from the Terrigen events. At that point, Tony could lead a very small team of enhanced teenagers who try to clean up some of the mutant criminals running rampant, and then eventually they join forces with the other heroes, and this can be the first time they begin operating under the team name "Avengers," and then they move their headquarters to Stark Tower. Prior to this joining of two teams into a larger one, we can say our  characters never really went by an official team name, as during that time there were a lot of new heroes and villains running around after the first Terrigen Crisis and shifting alliances. The time between July 4th and them officially forming the Avengers will be sort of like an extended prologue origin story of sorts for the team. 

Also, if anyone has ideas for other characters you'd like to play, please PM me first, as I am constructing a flexible story skeleton behind the scenes to keep the narrative flow consistent, and there are many other Marvel characters I am weaving into this to make sure there is enough content to keep the RP going for as long as the interest remains strong.
