That was an interesting thing to here of his alien companion.  Alexander made sure to keep it in mind as he chuckled as well, feeling at ease around all this madness despite the fact they were on an alien planet, and he was walking amongst a crowd of aliens of every sort he could have possibly imagined.  All in all, it felt like walking down Broadway back in New York City, but he kept that thought to himself....he hoped anyway considering he wasn't sure if any of the aliens around him could read thoughts.  He'd have to be careful then, just in case.  Regardless, he didn't sense any danger about them despite a few words being thrown about the two passing foreigners and a possible fight breaking out if his translator got it right.  It was sometimes difficult to tell since words and their meanings for one race wasn't always the same for another.  Even so, Alex understood the need for information since he too had that same need to know everything he could get his hands on.  He wasn't a genius for nothing after all, or a successful billionaire at that.  "True, Stark was a pioneer of his time, but I have outdone him in every capacity.  It's more of a friendly rivalry than anything else, although we did get into it over a specific invention I had created that was based around one of his own ideas.  I just made it better, by say tenfold.  I do not mean to sound arrogant or self conceited by any means, just that is how the computer readouts had come back out as after all the tests and stuff were done.  Regardless, other than that one time, we've gotten along pretty well, always driving each other to do better than the other."<br/><br/>When it came to be that he was told that there wasn't much on Alex himself, the young 'Tony Stark' that made the real Tony Stark seem slow by comparison some days laughed since he hadn't really made his mark on the world just yet, but he probably had now that he had gone missing without a word save to the SHIELD agency back home.  "I haven't really had a chance to leave a big splash on the world just yet my friend.  I had only just completed the first test run of this suit when I was asked to do the mission that brought me here, so I haven't had a chance to gain my super hero status just yet.  However, if you wish a personal biography or just information in general, I'd be happy to share what I can, so long as you return the favor of course."  When approached by the four armed brute, Alex did have to wonder what they had just walked into.  "Excuse me, but since we're strangers here, might you explain what it is we are buying tickets for exactly?  Try to be honest since I don't take kindly to liars and cheats."  Alexander said, not in the mood to have his time wasted by fools such as this being before him.  Besides, he was itching for a fight despite the fact he was normally a peace loving person.
