What Tony Stark should *really* be doing

[jeneralist]

In the worlds imagined by Marvel and DC, those with special gifts (derived from accidents of birth or lifelong dedicated work) often choose to dress up in special outfits and Fight Evil. Sometimes, they band together in organizations to Fight Evil more effectively

I wish I deserved to be on such a team. I would do that kind of brainstorming in a heartbeat.

Make it a game

I think it's a fab idea.

I have another idea. It's kind of crazy, but bear with me. What if...

... companies working on these projects were obliged to run their plans by some kind of organisation with access to the kind of skills and funding needed to assess risk and safety issues before they went ahead? Some kind of regulatory body - perhaps a nationally organised group overseen, perhaps, by a an elected body accountable to the general public?

I know. It's totally out of the box, but I'm a maverick, even if not a Merkin.
