Avengers Tarot - new card!
It took a while, what with some other projects (including SPN RBB), but I finally have the next card in this series:
Card #1 - The Magician
Howard Stark
This is the card of strong-willed creators, inventors, showmen, and smooth talkers. It’s pretty obvious why my first impulse here was to assign Tony to this card. As I thought things through, I found Tony fits better with an entirely different card while Howard Stark is a much more fitting choice for the Magician.
The Magician is also a master of alchemy, magic tricks and the “great reveal.” Howard took on this role in death, with the puzzle and message that led Tony to the key to a brand new element. In short, even without the available technology, Howard knew what it would take to do the equivalent of turning lead into gold.
In this card, Howard stands behind the beginnings of the tabletop diorama of the Stark Expo - the diorama that was also a hidden depiction of a brand new element. Behind him are four pictures, including the atomic bomb, flying cars, Captain America, and - hidden from view behind him just as it is hidden in plain sight in front of him - the glow of the arc reactor. Also on the table are items corresponding to the four trumps of the Minor Arcana.
