He was not a stupid man.
Debatable.
“ETA to completion?” She queried him on his project.
“Three months if I don’t work on anything else,” Armsmaster spoke.
Are you even allowed to work on anything else?
“Will you?”
“I’ll probably have a few ideas I want to work on here or there, so no. More like five, maybe six months.”
Guess he’s staying here for a while, then. Fair enough.
The head she was displaying on the monitor nodded. Five or six months until they had uniforms and visors that tracked how the wearer’s opponents fought.
Armmaster is not stupid in some ways, but when his arrogance steps in, he makes some stupid decisions. Like trying to take advantage of an Endbringer situation to become known as the guy who took down Leviathan nearly single-handedly.
What wasn’t stupid was how he went about it. Besides the assumption that he could, y’know, actually defeat Leviathan, his plan was pretty good, and he did seem to do more damage than any other individual hero we watched. The combat analysis system was particularly brilliant, and is largely the reason he’s still alive. I can’t blame the PRT for wanting access to it.
Gear that learned from outcomes in combat and calculated how best to respond from moment to moment. When the fights concluded, for better or worse, the suits would upload all the information to a database, which would then inform every other suit on whoever had been encountered.
Niice.
Every encounter would render every single member of the elite PRT squad stronger and more capable.
