6. ...Or Turn Her Into Rescue
There's a great hint towards this in Iron Man 3, as when Tony's home is destroyed, he uses his mind to transport his Iron Man suit onto Pepper, giving audiences their first glimpse of Pepper in the suit, akin to the character she becomes in the comics, Rescue. Though we don't see her doing a lot other than rescuing Maya Hansen, it's an encouraging hint at what Pepper is capable of, and if she survives IM4, hopefully the filmmakers will be sure to give her her own suit, just as occurs in the comics. Though seeing her and Tony teaming up as "Iron People" might seem a bit corny, there are plenty of ways to make this work without it being stupid.
