History

There were a few years ago, a project under development by biotech Futurepharm - based in Texas - titled "Extremis." On constant vigil Aldrich Killian and developing accurate and uninterrupted Maya Hansen, the project, whose sponsorship funds were donated by the military - who could not wait to get my hands in Extremis - it was a drug Microsurgery Experimental Robotics, initially aimed to be one of the most numerous and fruitless tests to rebuilding the most successful and brilliant scientist general Dr. Abraham Erskine - also known as Dr. Reinstein - the Super-Soldier Serum.

Created as a nanotech serum, this complex From Net-billion Biotech is inserted into pipe guns hidden graphics and interconnected by a handful of pipes connecting with less than one inch wide and five high, directly coupled to a applicator specially created, designed and developed from similar prototypes previously marketed by Futurepharm, a compiler Biological, mechanical structure which supports an ampoule of three hundred milliliters of fluid Nanorobótico charger that creates electrical impulses and carries with it the existence of true physical application of Extremis technology.

If properly injected up to the Complex Nervous Cervical, this fluid is passed into the bloodstream and permeates the nervous system, accessing the Body Recovery Center, the portion of the Grey Matter of the Brain that has the complete mapping of the human body and all their features, and thus identifies possible future failures, such as cuts and injuries varied stimuli and sending them to repair enzymes. Micro-Nanitas Biotech drug Extremis take control of this region of the brainstem, overwriting all of this mapping, rewriting the form of how the body should truly be.

Once the modification is made Cerebral closed, this same body system evaluates the entire human body as erroneous and injured, then sending the information to the brain that all the body, externally and internally, is wrong, completely transforming it into a wound open to be healed and changed the standards that the Extremis recently rewritten.

In the first instants of pain processing presents fulminans, and the liquid carrier of the genetic code is expelled from the body Extremis orally and, possibly, even the ears and eyes, depending on the position in which the body was in the Upon start of the modification. A side effect of the expulsion of the liquid that carries the dark gray Biotechnology is the avoidance of considerable amount of blood that ends up giving the guinea pig a frail, pale and sick. This stage lasts, however, only a few moments before the cardiac activity is reduced and the person in whom the drug was injected in a state of lethargy in a prolonged sleep.

The standard protocols for insertion of the Extremis imply that, at this stage of processing, the user of the dose should be kept under constant observation and unremitting care, put on a Life Support acceptable and constant, receiving nutrition intravenously every hour. In similar operation to the base of regeneration body center, after an hour, the skin, as very brittle, begins to break into scabs low grade. The wounds gradually releasing low quantities of blood upon contact with air and become solid form of the usual lesions crust. In order repulsive little by little, the crust is enhanced throughout the body, which, as already said, it is an open wound. After about eight or nine hours, almost the whole body has become covered with this layer of protection. This stage is maintained for about forty-eight to seventy-two hours - as is the case Stark because it changes the operating data of the drug Extremis in order to destroy some of the "preventive barriers" -. The Extremis uses, also at this stage, all the nutrients and body mass to reshape the existing body, creating new agencies stronger, powerful and resilient in order to fulfill their duties more efficiently too, as well as muscles and nerves. Interestingly, this stage of the application of the serum seems to deteriorate or abolish the vestments used by the users, because after the crust of the injury break, they are naked.

After you regain consciousness and awareness, day after sleeping with body changes in force, the crust breaks up with violence, breaking into many pieces, usually starting with the trunk, leaving their pieces fraturem up and, as in the normal functioning of the body, falling, thus freeing the user from its cocoon Extremis prison that protected him for almost the entire process. Though still small and have short tears in the skin, the body becomes many times more powerful and capable, restoring moments in those injuries, gaining strength beyond human limits, excessive speed, and many other attributes evolved.

In an attempt to regain the stolen serum, Stark as Iron Man is injured battling a domestic terrorist, Mallen, who had been altered by the Extremis drug into a superhuman killing machine.

Seeing no other option, he took a modified dose of Extremis to heal his injures and improve his neural interface with the armor and other technologies. The revitalized Iron Man then set out after Mallen.

From that point on Tony utilized the Extremis in each of his armor designs and became accustomed to the power and convenience it provided.

During Marvel Secret Invasion, The invading Skrull queen Veranke infected Tony's body with a virus that shut down Extremis and the rest of Stark Tech. Tony believed the Extremis had been permanently rendered useless by the virus.

It wasn't until Tony deleted the contents of his brain, and installed an older version of his memories along with a new arc reactor, that he regained control and use of the Extremis. Using his newly designed suit titled "Bleeding Edge Armor", along with the energy supplied by his new arc reactor, Tony was able to utilize the Extremis to a greater extent.

Capabilities

This armor used vectored repulsor fields to tessellate its 'memory metal' design. The armor formed over a gold under-sheath produced by Stark's own body. The under-sheath's regenerative systems could repair damage to wearer or armor.

Due to Extremis, Stark's mind could now directly access satellite networks, security systems, and other digital technologies. The armor could be piloted remotely, even simultaneously with several other models in the field.

Repulsors were potent and had an additional "full form" version for multi-directional attacks. [2]

Standard weaponry such as the uni-beam, pulse bolts, and sonics were intact. Explosive "micro-munitions" were launched from the gauntlets.

The armor had a degree of adaptability to support and protect the wearer. A neural net could counteract or adopt similar effects to superhuman powers. [3]

Shields or "deflectors" [4] could be raised for additional defense.

The armor could maintain a cloaking effect.

Flight was now largely handed by small arrays throughout the suit; boots still contained turbines. The armor has reached speeds in excess of Mach 8.

A "gravity grip" produced by the gloves and soles could be produced for climbing surfaces or for anchoring. [5]

The armor may have had other systems yet to be revealed.

It was also extremely difficult to operate without the aid of the Extremis drug, described by Stark as being "like trying to fly six stealth bombers at once".
