Fictional character biography

Toni Ho is the daughter of Ho Yinsen, an engineer with three doctoral degrees. ^[1]

Toni becomes a member of the Avengers Idea Mechanics after she is bought out by Roberto da Costa / Sunspot. She serves as part of a support team for the New Avengers. ^[2] Toni also studies Aikku Jokinen, the sentient Pod suit's wearer. She took an interest in Aikku because of the Pod suit and also because she sympathizes with Aikku's personal reasons for not wanting to take Pod off. Toni falls in love with Aikku, who reciprocates her feelings. Consequently, when the two are attacked by the Maker, Toni defends Aikku and Pod—and when Pod ejects Aikku, Toni helps Aikku with the new under-suit, Enigma. ^[3]

Toni is a member of the U.S. Avengers as the Iron Patriot . ^[4]
