Tony Stark

Appearance

Well kept short brown hair. Well trimmed mustache and goatee. Brown eyes, Muscular build.

Personality

Tony Stark was only just an egocentric playboy. As an adult, he was renowned for being casually arrogant, apathetic, callous, and a hedonist who enjoyed the finer things in life. His wealth, power, and natural charm allows him to get just about any woman he wants. But despite his rather carefree and overly confident personality, inside Stark's heart lay loneliness. Stark was a self-centered, arrogant person, caring for few people outside his closest friends. he never fully let go of his character flaws, however, using them to push him forward as a reminder to do better and often making self-deprecating jokes or comments. Despite this attitude, Stark is an exceptionally brave and selfless individual. Hardened Stark into a brave, determined, and somewhat ruthless fighter. being uncaring in killing his foes, though he avoided doing so when he could. He was also willing to kill to protect his allies and friends, boldly saying he would kill Drax if Star-Lord killed Spider-Man. Despite this, he was not merciless, as he offered several of Aldrich Killian's men a chance to stand down, allowing the sole survivor to leave peacefully upon doing so. Even when confronted by Captain America's betrayal, he offered the man several chances to step aside. Even after starting a new life as a superhero, Stark kept his sense of humor and his penchant for showmanship, the latter being demonstrated in his armor's red and gold color schemes, and in revealing his identity in public despite being told not to. Tony has also shown a strong liking towards heavy metal and rock music. He also shows signs of being a gearhead owning and modifying several expensive cars, having a particular liking towards the Audi R8 model line. Stark could also be a reliable friend, and occasionally showed affection toward his teammates. Hence, Stark was the only Avenger who encouraged Bruce Banner to embrace his identity of Hulk as a blessing rather than a curse, and trusted him to make good use of Hulk's powers.

Abilities 1

Iron Man Armor Capabilities: used a miniature version of the Arc Reactor to charge the various suits that provided him with superhuman strength, endurance, durability, and a variety of weapons. The suit was a powered exoskeleton with armored plating, capable of enhancing the wearer's strength, speed, agility, and endurance. The suit was powered by a miniaturized Arc Reactor, either using the one surgically installed in Tony Stark's chest or else built into the chest-piece of the armor itself. The later model armors' helmet featured a retractable visor that projected a holographic AR displays to the wearer. From the Mark III onward, Stark used a gold-titanium alloy to provide the necessary power-to-weight ratio coupled with the ability to resist icing at high altitudes. Until the development of Mark V, Stark focused on refining basic systems shared by all later models, ignoring the ease of putting on and taking off armors, resulting in Mark II, III, and IV all having lengthy and uncomfortable suit-up and suit-off periods. Stark designed and constructed a ring specifically for easily donning and taking off his Mark VI armor until he can finally solve the issue without compromising on functionality. It wasn't until the Mark VII that the issue was finally resolved, through enabling armors to move in one whole set on its own without the user in it, and open up to fit the user inside when needed, allowing Stark to don his armor within seconds for the first time. This culminated in the Mark L, which used nanotechnology to seamlessly materialize the armor over Stark. He frequently improved the technology put into his armors, giving them upgrades for battles and to perfect the onboard systems. He had created a collection of suits for him to choose from; some are mission-specific or prototypes for testing out various capabilities, others are older models kept for nostalgia or for research. The Iron Man Armor is the most powerful man-portable weapons on the planet.

Abilities 2

When inside the armor, Tony's physical strength was amplified. With his suit, he could lift 900 pounds. Stark could send fully grown men flying with his strikes, break down metal doors and punch through stone and concrete. Most armors were strong enough to lift and bench press tanks. Iron Man was able to hold his own against the mighty Asgardian Thor himself. When in his Hulkbuster armor, he was able to go toe-to-toe with Hulk. A unique feat of strength was when Iron Man pushed and jump-started one of the rotors of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier while in the Mark VI. Superhuman Durability: The armor was made up of a strong lightweight Titanium Alloy, with interlocked plates for the shell, and a chest plate protecting the Arc Reactor. It was able to withstand tremendous amounts of punishment. The armor could withstand tank shells exploded in close proximity to Stark, and a resulting fall from several thousand feet up, followed by hits by twenty millimeter Vulcan shells and a high-speed collision with an F-22 Raptor with only minimal cosmetic damage. It was able to survive a full-on fight with an older generation suit throughout Stark's house, the fights with the Hammer Drones and Whiplash, and having several cars dropped on top of him by Scarlet Witch, all of which resulted in taking relatively minor damage. Most of all, it protected the wearer from the effects of extreme g-force. It even allowed him to withstand some of Thor's attacks, although Thor proved he could crush the suit's gauntlet frame with his strength. He was able to withstand the force of a turbine from the Helicarrier's engines when he got it to work again after removing the debris blocking it. It was also able to withstand a full-on assault from the Chitauri forces' energy weapons. The Mark XLII was able to take damage from having most of Tony's house collapse on him at the bottom of the ocean and being hit by a Mack truck, although, Stark was not in the armor and was instead remote-controlling it.

Abilities 3

Iron Man's armor has allowed him to reach immense speeds. Even from his third armor, which can fly at 1,500 miles per hour, he was able to keep up with an F-22 Raptor. While he improved his armor, his speed improved. He could move so fast that the wind that his suit generated was powerful enough to move a parked car. When his mansion was destroyed, his armor was able to fly from Malibu to Rose Hill, Tennessee in less than 24 hours, while he was unconscious. Separate parts of his armor were also able to fly themselves from Rose Hill to Aldrich Killian's Mansion in Miami in minutes. In addition, the Iron Legion flew from Malibu to Florida in minutes as well. By the Attack on Greenwich Village, Stark had upgraded his armor by so much that he was able to conjure himself even more powerful thrusters to catch up to the Q-Ship that was already reaching orbit. While it was never seen, Stark's top speed was greater Mach 5 with the Mark XIX, and the Mark XL, and the Mark VI's enhanced jet boots could reach Mach 8. Superhuman Agility: Iron Man could use his increased agility very well in battle. He was able to spin around many Chitauri Chariots while shooting at them. He also accurately shot many Ultron Sentries while flying and dodging them. With his advanced combat mode in his armor, he was able to fight Captain America as well.

Abilities 4

Superhuman Stamina: Iron Man could fight in battle for more time than any of the Avengers, showing no signs of fatigue during the Battle of New York while the super soldier, Captain America had to take a short break. Superhuman Reflexes: While not on par with that of someone with genuine superhuman speed and reflexes like Spider-Man, Iron Man's armors nonetheless had motors for movement, and they were extremely fast and responsive both in flight and during combat, even against physically enhanced opponents such as Captain America or the Winter Soldier. The suit's coordination and dexterity allowed the user to easily maneuver themselves and change directions with great ease during flight.

Abilities 5

The armor had remote assistance from J.A.R.V.I.S. or F.R.I.D.A.Y., who managed the armor's systems at Stark's command, and the armor also had a holographic HUD with heads-up displays for navigation, power level, armor status, weapons systems, vital signs with cellphone and computer connections in the helmet, and a built-in loudspeaker. The scanner systems were capable of scanning the environment, weather conditions, and equipment for information. The armor was able to absorb and convert energy sources, such as heat, kinetic energy or energy from the planet itself into electricity, directly into the batteries for recharge. This allows him to charge his suit up higher than capacity and deliver a stronger counterattack. The armor could be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support. It was also shielded against radiation. The Heads Up Display of the Iron Man suit was powered by F.R.I.D.A.Y., Stark's artificial intelligence. The Suit also had Defensive and Offensive sections, able to switch around the sections, resorting to missiles and lasers. The HUD could scan people, missile identifications, make calls, use a GPS, and give crucial suit credentials such as power. Thanks to the new repulsor flight system, as well as the magnetic implants embedded in Tony's forearms, individual pieces of later armors could self-assemble themselves onto Tony or others. Iron Man could summon small circular thrusters that could open up and attach to a surface to aid Iron Man in difficult situations. Tony could launch two disc-like projectiles consecutively with retractable metal fibers that could form a powered clamp to bind enemies. It was powerful enough to bind the legs of Captain America.

Abilities 6

The Mark XLVI armor had the ability to analyze people's specific fighting patterns, and in turn, find a counter to said fighting style. Thanks to micro-repeaters injected into his left forearm, Stark could mentally and remotely control the Iron Man armors beginning with the Mark XLII either as a whole or in pieces with a combination of gestures and thought. This is further augmented by a holographic headset, which allows Stark to see through the Mark XLII's primary camera and allowing for complete remote control of the armor. There were particle weapons in the palm gauntlets that fired beams or blasts of concussive and explosive force, allowing them to repel physical and energy-based attacks. Early repulsors needed time to recharge after use, but, because of the new Arc Reactor, later repulsors were able to fire at a moment's notice and with far more controllable degrees of intensity. By the sixth armor, the repulsors could become small laser-like welding beams, which Stark used to install an Arc Reactor for Stark Tower. Later, repulsors became capable of launching targets off their feet without killing them, meaning they could function with intensity low enough to incapacitate and render targets unconscious. By the time of the Mark L and Mark LXXXV, the repulsors could generate energy that could rapidly repel large and heavy targets with ease. A more powerful version of the hand repulsor located in the chest called a Unibeam, which was powerful enough to disintegrate the Winter Soldier's prosthetic arm. Small anti-personnel guns in the shoulders that could target individual targets at once and fire at a moment's notice. Among the most proficient of the armor's weapon system was the missiles which he first used against a tank sent by the Ten Rings. In later models, the armor had mini-rockets hidden in a secret compartment in the boosters on the back, that blew up numerous Chitauri ships.

Abilities 7

From the Mark XLIII onward, the missiles used by the armor can explode on impact rather than first attaching to the target, with the launchers for the missiles usually being located on either the arm or shoulder. In response to the Mark XLVI's aiming system being damaged during the Battle at the HYDRA Siberian Facility, Stark added auto-targeting missiles to his nanotech suits, which he used during the Battle of Titan. Stark had a powerful weapon in the gauntlet wrists that could cut through any common metal, but was originally a one-time use. He used this during the Battle at Stark Expo, the Attack on the Helicarrier, the Battle of New York, the Battle at the HYDRA Siberian Facility, and the Ambush at the Staten Island Ferry. Stark could protrude a hidden blade from the arm of the Silver Centurion armor, which he used to cut off Aldrich Killian's hand. At the beginning of the Clash of the Avengers, Iron Man launched a device that emitted an electromagnetic pulse on a helicopter that prevented Captain America and Winter Soldier from escaping with it. When he upgraded to nanotechnology, Iron Man was able to create many weapons including bigger repulsors, a dagger, a shield, and he could even summon the armor around his body after he incorporated it into his arc reactor. His nanotech suits have no gaps in the armor like the Mark XLVI, through which Ant-Man was able to infiltrate. Stark upgraded to an energy shield with the Mark LXXXV after Thanos destroyed his nanotech shield on Titan.
