Non standardized cache ideas.

I prefer to use real world people for my CoT so Howard Hughes made my list, last campaign even had him frozen at a facility beneath the Las Vegas Ruins and had us go find and revive him. Lee Iacocca was another one who didn't survive the bombs. Those are the only two I remember at the moment.

While I do keep my game as realistic as possible (no bottle sized fusion, no time travel, no universal antidote), I like making the change from Howard Hughes to Howard Stark (the creeping madness can be ignored then). Of course I put them on this earth not the comic book one. Tony never makes a suit, though he may be interested in power armor if there is a later war date.

I have Howard and Tony as unique Renascence-esque geniuses who are able to move many different techs forward without the need for Bruce jumping back and forth. Reed Richards could be the same type of genius, but I expect his expertise would be more theoretical than practical. Banner is mostly focused in one field.

DC characters are generally too out there for me to look at them as being real in any way.

I included Bruce Wayne (Multi-billionare, CEO of a major company), Lucius Fox (Designed a lot of tech that ended up in Batman's arsenal) Lex Luthor (Multi-bilionare, inventor,)

Yes, DC characters can be outrageous. But, heck, this is a game, and if we are going to tinker with it, brining in the Marvel or DC universe is not TOO far out of bounds.

Yeah I can see Bruce and definitely Lucius. Maybe Thomas Wayne is still alive. Once he hears about the coming apocalypse he no longer has time for the opera. Bruce instead directs his energy and intellect into the project.
