History: Iron Man (real name Anthony Edward Stark) is a genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist. He not only invented the Iron Man Armor, but wears the armored suit himself. He is CEO of Stark Industries, which once sold highly sophisticated weapons systems technologies to the government defense organizations such S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.W.O.R.D. who used them to maintain peace and order. He has pulled his company away from weapons business and rededicated it to create a better future for mankind.
Anthony Stark was born on March 5, in Long Island, New York. He was born the son Howard and Maria Stark, Co-CEOs of Stark Industries, a million dollar weapons manufacturer. At a young age, Tony showed to have a unique and inventive mind. At the age of 15 Tony entered the undergraduate electrical engineering program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and graduated with two master’s degrees by age 19. At age 21, Tony's parents died in a car crash and he inherited Stark Industries. He continued the weapons manufacturing program and turned his family's company into a billion-dollar weapons-manufacturer corporation. Five years later, he attended a testing of one of his latest weapons. But, was attacked and captured by the terrorist organization called 'The Ten Rings'. The leader of the Rings ordered Stark to build them a set of weapons. Instead, Tony built a miniature Arc Reactor as a pacemaker and a suit of armor to escape captivity and keep himself alive with the help of Ho Yinsen. Seeing the deadly purposes of weapons firsthand, Stark took his company out of the weapons business and focused on creating new electronics and devices powered on RepulsorTech. He now spends half his days as the armored public hero known as Iron Man.
Iron Man once battled Ultimo, which was broadcast on the news. Tony and his best friend Rhodey discussed his behavior and strategies in the field. Tony arrived in Stark Tower and received a report from Pepper that HYDRA was attacking the United Nations. He donned his armor and flew off to the UN building. Then he discovered that HYDRA was utilizing stolen StarkTech.
Iron Man was interrupted right after his defeat of HYDRA by the Mandroids of S.H.I.E.L.D. who he later discovered were also using his tech. Iron Man defeated them using the Uni-Beam. After he took care of them, he went to Nick Fury, where he complained that his tech being stolen. Fury advised him that they work together instead of doing it alone. Iron Man left the Helicarrier and flew back to his armory. Rhodey told him that he did not have to do this alone, but Tony disagreed.
Personality: He was once a millionaire playboy enjoying his extravagant lifestyle, selling and creating powerful high-tech weapons and inventions in the early years of his life until the Ten Rings faction attacked and captured him, severely damaging his heart. After being saved by Ho Yinsen, he built the first Iron Man armor to escape capture, but not without his friend's sacrifice. He returned to America, the experience changing him forever.
The biggest change, Stark now takes responsibility for his inventions. To do so, he needs to first get his weapons tech under control... his control.
