    Default Punisher Gets Injected with Extremis...Consequences?

    Frank Castle was taking down a group of scince criminals, when he was captured and injected with a modified Extremis virus. He survives the process, and now inhabits a perfected body.

    1) Extremis can be modified to have different effects from the standard package. What abilities would be good to give to Frank?

    2) How would Frank start fighting if he as a legitimate superhuman?

    3) How would Tony Stark feel about an extremis powered Punisher?

    I think everyone from at least Dr. Doom-level on down craps themselves.

    This gives him....control over machines? Better reflexes and aiming?

    I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm unaware of what the extremis would do for someone without an IM suit to back it up.

    Transient just likes to do that.

    Why he keeps picking up ridiculous arguments and then try to defend them, I will never know.

    The original Extremis gives super strength, super speed, fire breathing..... something like that if I'm not mistaken.

    Well, in the most-seen form, the one that Tony used, Extremis gave enhanced reflexes, control over machines, a Logan-style healing factor and enhanced intellect (not necessarily smarter, but capable of processing more things at once more easily).

    In brand-new Iron Man, it's more-or-less a superpower construction set, capable of giving all kinds of super powers.

    The Original Extremis grants high level superhuman strength (enough to break starks leg while he is in the iron man), Low level superhuman speed (enough to run across the country at something like 300 mph), an electric touch, and fire breathing.

    Tony showed that you can reprogram it to develop other abilities. The thing is, in one of the mandarin arcs, it was revealed that the process is something like 85% fatal to human beings.

    Interesting note -- Extremis works by forcing your body to think that its been horribly inured, the repairs your body into a superhuman machine. Theoretically, when applied toa metahuman, it would work based on their own capabilities. Imagine a legit superhuman getting infected with extremis -- you would create a being of superior power.

    Scary thought of the year: Dr. Doom w/Extremis.

    Let's be honest...Doom's quite capable of making his own batch of the stuff. Either he doesn't think it's worth his time or worth the risk.
