"Truth is... I am Iron Man." ~ Tony Stark in Iron Man (2008)


Anthony "Tony" Stark (AKA Iron Man) is the main protagonist of his three titular films, one of the protagonists of the three Avengers films, and is also said to be a wealthy business magnet, playboy, and ingenious scientist.

Why He Rocks

  1. Tony Stark, the man underneath the armor, is a equally eccentric genius, millionaire, playboy, and philanthropist.
  2. He was one of the original six Avengers (The others being Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye).
  3. He is basically Marvel's answer to Batman.
  4. He being red makes sense considering that when iron is rusted, it makes a red color.
  5. Legendary actor Robert Downey Jr. portrays Iron Man exceptionally well, so well in fact, it jump started his career.
    1. Speaking of Robert Downey Jr., in an interview with Stan Lee Robert Downey Jr. admitted he was born to act as Iron Man.
  6. Although Tony causes trouble on occasion, he is more than willing to make up for his mistakes, which is also why he became a superhero. 
  7. Tony is also known for being exceptionally intelligent and innovative, having built an Arc Reactor from scratch in Afghanistan. His intellect has earned him nicknames like the "Da Vinci of Our Time".

Bad Qualities

  1. Tony can rely way on his suit at times.
  2. He manages to set off the wrong people such as the two civil wars he was involved in against heroes like Captain America and Captain Marvel.
  3. But despite his rather carefree and overly confident personality, inside Tony's heart lies loneliness, as Ho Yinsen pointed out: "A man that has everything, but has nothing".
