Picotech Regenerative Ordnance with a Tactically Evolving Adaptation Network

Picotech Regenerative Ordnance with a Tactically Evolving Adaptation Network is cybernetic technology that features in the second Iron Man video game.

History

Picotech Regenerative Ordnance with a Tactically Evolving Adaptation Network (PROTEAN) was an experimental technology that was being developed by Kearson DeWitt when he worked for Stark Industries. During DeWitt's employment, he worked on a prototype ARC reactor system and developed weapons for the Theoretical Weapons Division. However, the return of Tony Stark saw the division shut down as part of his closing off all weapon related projects. Despite leaving Stark Industries, Kearson continued work on Project PROTEAN whilst he collaborated with Advanced Idea Mechanics. This saw AIM allies attack the Stark Dataspine where they confiscated an archived copy of J.A.R.V.I.S. for their ally. With the artificial intelligence in his eyes, DeWitt proceeded with his plan in creating a man/machine intelligence interface and thus created ULTIMO by using PROTEAN technology to merge into an enormous metal suit. He later ordered his followers to be upgraded with PROTEAN implants. Tony Stark and James Rhodes later battled PROTEAN drones when seeking to defeat DeWitt.

Background

PROTEAN technology was essentially intelligent machines that were the size of an atom. Their capabilities allowed them to regenerate or modify whatever they were built for upon their activation such as being designed for weapons or other purposes.
