Not sure exactly. I'd heard about him from dad's files and the like, but never looked up his age. Old enough to have worked with my dad in the past. I didn't actually meet him at all the first time I met the Hulk.

[even more curious] Tell me about that? Meeting... the Hulk for the first time?

He was being chased by a group called A.I.M.: the Advanced Idea Mechanics. Basically an evil genius think tank. They had some tech that they wanted to use to control him, so they were luring him into a trap. Buuuut I kind of ended up getting the tech set on my Hulkbuster armor, which basically turned me into a mindcontrolled zombie inside there. Pepper and Rhodey managed to convince him and this kid he was with to help.

Long story short, he beat the heck out of me inside that armor until Pepper managed to remind him to actually go for the controller disk attached to the front of my helmet. Then he and the kid left, to keep from being tracked down again.

[well now.] That... is quite a story. You had Hulkbuster armor? [a bit of a stink eye on that]

Hey, to be fair, you weren't what I made it for! It's just catchier than Red Dynamo Buster Armor.

...That makes it sound like one of the Japanese Saturday morning cartoon shows.

Exactly. See? Hulkbuster is totally a cooler name. Besides, it's not like I'd ever manage to actually bust the Hulk, even with my tech.

[thinks of his Tony and that armor and has to nod in agreement] Just try to make it so you don't have to test that. [more afraid the kid would end up dead than his other-worldly counterpart would come to harm]

Don't worry, I have no intention of pissing off the Hulk. In any reality.

[tiny smirk] Look at that, you really are a genius. [spoken dryly]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
