"Government."

Ah, forgot commentary today! Just thinking about it, I'm old enough to remember when Guardsmen armor was first phased into guard-duty; not old enough to remember when it was a legit contender or its original creator/pilot.

I feel like Guardsmen is a deep cut, but they apparently have figures so it can't be too deep a cut. I've no idea who or what they are, but Moon Knight handled Crimson Dynamo no problem even without whatever Moonstone did to him (what did she do to him, anyway?) so they should be a literal pushover. I imagine whatever Sat's been up to off-panel will be what ends this but I can't imagine who or what she'll bring in.

Vault Guardsmen? Really? I mean, if you have em use em, but definitely NOT at all what I was expecting.

I'm also old enough to know when they were just guards, and terrible ones at that considering the amount of times they got jobbed out. Honestly they should be so lucky they even have their own action figures before Hellfire club guards did.

Definitely not a deep cut H unless you somehow never heard of them. They've been around in some form or another since the 80's, ok maybe longer. DEFINITELY have a rough past with Tony for VERY specific reasons.

It's probably because I haven't read too much Iron Man, and they're (presumably) always guarding the vault.

For some reason, I'm imagining Tony Stark having something like the Jack Benny vault gag. He doesn't seem the type but then again, he didn't seem the type to me to have a vault that needed guardsmen either and that was totally wrong (I think- still don't know what they are or regularly do).
