Summary
Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark is an eccentric self-described genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist, and the former head of Stark Industries. Using his own great wealth and exceptional technical knowledge, Stark enjoyed the playboy lifestyle for many years until he was kidnapped by the Ten Rings. With his life on the line, Stark created an armored suit which he used to escape his captors, returning home and becoming the armored superhero known as Iron Man, battling against terrorists as well as his own former business partner Obadiah Stane. Stark enjoyed the fame that came with his new secret identity and decided to share it with the world, publicly announcing himself as Iron Man.
With the world yet again being threatened, Stark joined the Avengers and helped defeat the Chitauri and Loki, and had indebted the rest of his life defending Earth against threats, both internal and external.
Both he and Captain America were responsible for tearing up the Avengers during the Civil War.
As a final bid to stop Thanos, Stark sacrificed himself and died as a hero.

Range: Standard Melee Range; Tens of Meters with his armor (Can shoot repulsor blasts, missiles, lasers, and his trademark Uni-Beam); Planetary with satellite
Standard Equipment: His legion of powered armors, Veronica, E.D.I.T.H., Gauntlet
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Despite his less humble beginnings as a billionaire, Tony has always possessed a highly respectable intellect in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Built a circuit board at age 4, an engine at 6, and graduated MIT summa cum laude at 17. Hacked the Pentagon’s firewall in high school on a dare. With a batch of Stark weapons and rudimentary tools to put them together, Tony built a miniature Arc Reactor in fairly short timespan, while the previous giant sized reactor that was the last "breakthrough" in 30 years. A group of scientists, including William Ginter Riva, in a fully stocked lab with access to said reactor could not figure out how to replicate a miniature Arc Reactor. Created the A.I. systems J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y., J.O.C.A.S.T.A., T.A.D.A.S.H.I., and Karen. Cured Pepper Potts after she was infected by Extremis. Before J.A.R.V.I.S. could even tell him it was illegal, Tony hacked into several email accounts of suspected organized crime figures, as well as security cameras across New York while armoured. Built the War Machine suits used by James Rhodes as well as the Tech Suit and Iron Spider for Peter Parker. Constructed numerous weapons such as a taser, tranquilizer, and grenades made with what he could gather from a hardware store. Created a new element, which would later be used as an energy source for his armors. Built 35 armors superior to the one used in Infinity War in a time span of 5 years. Alongside Bruce Banner and Rocket Racoon, created the Iron Gauntlet, which is capable of utilizing the power of the Infinity Stones just as the Infinity Gauntlet can. Was able to stabilize time travel in a night after only learning of the Quantum Realm earlier. Earned Thanos’ respect in their one-on-one battle on Titan)
Weaknesses: Without his armor, he is just a normal human. The Mark 1, due to being a crude first attempt at an exoskeletal combat suit by Stark, was heavy, slow and sluggish to move around, with many of its hinges exposed to the elements and outside forces to exploit and temporarily disable the suit's movement systems with only flamethrowers and a missile to use for long-range combat, and the original 3 gigawatt arc reactor it was powered by wasn't designed for sustained flight. The Mark 2 originally suffered from a fatal ice buildup if it approached altitudes exceeding 40,000 feet, resulting in the main transducer feeling sluggish at said altitudes and the hull pressurization becoming problematic, which Tony remedied by using a gold-titanium alloy from his Seraphim tactical satellite in order to maintain fuselage integrity and maintain power-to-weight ratio. While suffering from palladium poisoning, he suffered from an episode of recklessness. Suffered from a period of insomnia and several episodes of PTSD during the events of Iron Man 3. Weaker armors can't handle extreme conduction | The more damage the Mark 50 armor takes, the fewer nanomachines that can be used to regenerate it or make weapons.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Repulsors: Powered by the Arc Reactor, the suits can project a blast of magnetic repulsion from its palms, used for the armor's flight stabilization, as well being Iron Man's main range weapon.
- Unibeam: When siphoning energy directly to the Arc Reactor, the armor can fire a massive repulsor from its chest that can send flying giant enemies like Iron Monger.
- Missiles: The armors contain several sets of miniaturized missiles mounted on the arms, shoulders, and legs of the suit, such as anti-tank missiles and guided missiles.
- Laser System: The armors are equipped with a palladium-powered laser system located in the back of the gauntlets, these can easily cut through any object, from slice armored androids to cut a hole in a space ship.
- Artificial Intelligent Systems: Natural-language user interface computer systems that provide suit feedback, tactical analysis, and tactical countermeasures. They are even able to analyze Captain America's fight pattern and provide a programmed countermeasure tactic.
- House Party Protocol: A special command given by Tony to his I.A to active, summon, and control Iron Man armors to his aid.
- Remote Propulsion: After injecting himself with computer chips on his arm, Stark can now mentally control the individual pieces of the armor, allowing him to summon it at any point of the battle, and even trap other people inside.
- Nanite Manipulation: Stark is able to manipulate the nanites of the Bleeding Edge, allowing it to materialize the suit and form a wide variety of weapons and tools, including repulsor cannons, proton cannons, energy hammers, jackhammers, blades, shields, snares, magnetic clamps, coolant blasters, suture spray, wings, and rocket thrusters.
