A few notes:1. Debatable, considering the armors Stark's built. SKIN Armor, Thorbuster, etc.
2. This sounds like a cool feat. Reference?
3. How come it feels like there's still an air of distrust when people look to associate themselves with him? Honest question.
4. Stark invented the Bleeding Edge armor based on Kid Kang's armor, who was from the 31st century. And he didn't need to reverse engineer it. He just looked at him and thought that was cool enough to invent.
5. Stark's done impressive things with genetics and engineering. He created a genetic disrupter that power drained everybody.Not sure Vril Dox has matched all of Stark's best feats. Just recently, Stark split apart the raw Phoenixforce.
1. I was considering Thor buster when I made teh statement though not SKIN. Honestly not up on that one.
2. In the recent pre flashpoint series that is how Starro spread his sphere of influence so far so fast. He took control of Silica from Dox and using her control of all Dox's "robotic cop as well as tecnopathically controlling any defense of worlds he sent his spors to was able to take of massive areas of space faster than he ever had before.
3. Honestly because he is. No one who works with Dox trusts him. he always has his own agenda in which he includes no one. he doesn't trust anyone enough to keep them fully in the loop. Instead he always manipulates events so that their own natures make them do what he wants done ( he never trusts anyone enough to just ask). Those closest too him question and have suspicions over his every move because of their experience and yet he still manipulates their actions. He has only personally used his enhanced charisma program once to "save Colu" from itself ( he was talked out of using it again by the Durlan who pointed out that using it made him more like his father - who he hates with a passion). The program however has been used by his father to do much more damage and by his son to completely control a galaxy

2. Based on this synopsis, where Starro begins and where Vril Dox ends concerning that feat is a bit hazy to me.
3. Again, where his father/son begin and where Vril Dox ends concerning that feat is a bit hazy to me.
1. Vril's force field has withstood black and yellow lanterns, point nlank Nuclear blasts and the the attacks of Pulsar Stargrave ( who in LoSH has taken down Superboy, Mon-el and ultra boy). at the very least it's a match.
2. Starro used Silica's capability. Dox still designed and biult the AI that Starro used without making any changes to it.
3. again he subliminal program was created and designed by Vril. his father and son simply used it once they found it. Vril used a modified watered down version regain the loyalty of his troops after he shut down the program that Lyrl had used. IIRC some of his higher operatives also questioned whether he had used it to have so many so fiercely loyal to him so quick after taking over the Cairn police force. he answered the quieries by fiving them full access to his computers. I would say a history of designing IT and subliminal programs thatcan control on a galactic level plays to the character who created them more than the one who may have eventually used them. After the Lyrl thing he set up safe guards to ensure it never happened again. I never got the end of the last run but would assume an in character Vril would have done the same after regaining control of Silica.
if you mean what it says here http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallville_(season_10)
it's just plain wrong.
I am starting to wonder if Tony and Dox can even be said to be on the same level of manipulation.
At least when comparing Tony to Dox. Dox is FAR more of a bastard then Tony. Tony is at heart a good person who as aims that are in the parameter of a good person that may have to do some bad things. Dox is a hyper intelligent infant in a adult body that was raised by a mad man with ablsolutely no morals. Dox takes things on a far more personal level then does Tony.
I think Dox would be the worst manipulator then Tony

Guys, no backseat modding.Also, I wouldn't call Smallville a sci-fi show, tbh. It had sci-fi elements, but it's more a fantasy/teen drama than anything else.
I will admit there were a few episodes that made me a little giddy inside, though they were few and far between. For such a long series, I think I could count them with one hand. Pretty sad actually, but as a superman fan, I watched the whole series.

I watched it when it started, and I watched it when It ended, but there's about three seasons in the middle I avoided due to that stupid witches thing.
