In the new Invincible Iron Man Issue 1, Tony Stark has a new assistant. Her name is Friday, and she is a Holo-A.I., or an artificial intelligence that manifests herself as a hologram. She's every bit as intelligent as the A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man movies, and as beautiful as the flesh-and-blood Pepper Potts. She helps him by reigning in his impetuous nature, and reminding him of practical matters. Her task is to help him accomplish his goals, and as Tony Stark can sometimes be his own worst enemy, she's got her work cut out for herself. Yet she seems to know just what to say to keep him in line.
I really like how Justin Ponsor colored Friday. He gives her a pink color scheme, yet she looks like a real lady. He gives her a degree of transparency, yet not enough to shout that she's unreal.
Of course, you know she's not real when she shows up as a disembodied, floating head on the battlefield. But in that way she helps Tony Stark out too. After all, if you saw a talking, floating head next to a man in armor, that might just keep you off your A Game, don't you think?
