Name: Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark
Age: 40 years
Series: Iron Man
Timeline: Movie-verse; beginning of the second movie.
Personality: Tony Stark is every bit as sleek and stylish as his expensive clothes. He seems easy-going, and indeed, lives the life-style of a rich playboy who always gets what he wants (including the girl on several occasions). Confronted with his businessman responsibilities he is as polite as he can manage, even if it means being not so blunt as he’d like to be although being polite is not to say that he won’t insult a person-he’ll simply manage to do it in a “diplomatic” way. As he slowly becomes more incensed with his “Iron Man” persona, he also becomes more focused and responsible, but that’s not to say he still doesn’t have fun and live up life to its fullest. He is extremely intelligent and quick to make a witty comment when he likes.
Stark is occasionally both stubborn and arrogant. While traits that can be admired in certain areas and at certain times, Stark can easily manage to take it too far at times when he just, quite frankly, shouldn’t. He is especially arrogant in his areas of expertise-engineering and business-and will shove it in a person’s face if they annoy him, or he simply doesn’t like them. He also has a stubbly personality; while over-friendly with the ladies, he can be downright snide to anyone else (including non-pretty women and especially to the press).
As things continue to get more serious with the Iron Man gig Tony undergoes some adjustments, though the core of his personality remains as an underlying constant. There simply arises too many problems for him to cope with all at once currently in his life. At the beginning of Iron Man 2 his personality is the same-lackadaisical, smart-aleck, and fun-loving to the extreme. On the other hand is a growing problem with alcohol as he tries to cope with his business and private life problems, especially the growing worry of fatality due to palladium poisoning from his current model of the Arc Reactor. He almost comes off more superficial than ever before, except that underneath he is actually deeply worried about, well, everything: his armor being forcefully taken away from him and used as a weapon, the palladium poisoning killing him before he can fix the problem, and, yes, he actually worries about Pepper’s reactions to his act because he truly does have feelings for her. He seems to take an unprecedented amount of risks to the continuance of his life, performing all manner of stupid stunts for a little action and seemingly not caring about the consequences. He’s more on edge though that doesn’t always come off as obviously as when he is alone. He has his serious moments-those are even more regulated to private moments these days.
But mostly he’s still the over-pampered playboy that everyone knows (and loves). And that’s how he’ll play it for all that its worth.
History: Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark was born on Long Island to the business entrepreneur Howard Anthony Stark and his lovely wife, Maria Collins Carbonell Stark. He was extremely smart from a very early age, and graduated from college at the top of his class at the age of sixteen in the field of electrical engineering. He inherited his father’s business, Stark Industries, at the age of twenty-one when his parents died in a tragic car accident.
Since then he has lived his life in the utmost of style, playing at life as a rich playboy, and generally living the high life. While good at running his business, he comes off flippant and irresponsible for his company’s productions which mostly stem in the weapons (of mass destruction) department. Then his life takes sudden and dramatic turn of events as he is brutally captured by terrorist group called the Ten Rings.
When captured, Stark is gravely injured by shrapnel that penetrates his chest. He would have died were it not for fellow captive Dr. Yinsen, who removes as much of the shrapnel as possible and then, when the rest threatens Stark’s life, makes a makeshift device to keep the remaining shrapnel from moving into his artery ways and piercing his heart. Stark later makes an extremely advanced version of this magnetic device by making a miniature Arc reactor to power the magnetic field that keeps him alive.
The group of mercenaries order him to make them Stark Industries latest weapon, the “Jericho” missile or perish at their hands. He flat out refuses. And then is tortured for several days until finally he “agrees” to make them a weapon. In reality he uses the materials given to him to create a powered suit of armor that he can use to allow him and Yinsen to escape. Unfortunately Yinsen dies while creating a distraction to give Stark enough time to power up the suit, and this greatly effects Stark’s nature from then on out (along with the sudden knowledge that the weapons he creates to protect his country’s soldiers can and is easily used against them). Stark takes his revenge with the suit then makes his “grand” escape.
When he arrives back home he announces that Stark Industries will no longer manufacture weapons. Everyone is taken by surprise, including and especially his business partner Obadiah Stane. Obadiah undermines Stark’s orders by selling weapons in the black market under the books. He also eventually steals plans for the Mark I armor suit and plans on building his own version.
Even before Stark finds all this out he begins work on a new version of his powered armor suit, the Mark II, which eventually becomes the Mark III as he slowly tests his way through trail and error with the suit’s capabilities. The suit is powered by a newly built mini-Arc reactor that is better than the makeshift one he built while held captive. Soon, his obsessed project complete, Stark goes to the aid of people being terrorized by the Ten Rings. When he finds out his old business partner’s underhanded dealings, he tries to rectify the situation by hacking into the industry’s system, finding all the places where the shipments have been sent, and destroying the rest of the weapons. He sends his secretary and confidant Pepper Potts to get the information. While she is there, she also learns it was Obadiah’s other plans.
Finding this out, Obadiah goes to Stark before Potts can contact him and steals the miniature Arc reactor from his chest, essentially leaving Stark for dead. Stark takes the old reactor, given to him by Potts as a plaque in memory of his life-altering experience, and dons his suit of armor. The old reactor was never meant to power a suit of this magnitude, but he does what he has to anyway.
After a fateful battle with Obadiah and his “Iron Monger” suit of armor through the city of Los Angeles, Stark nearly dies as his old reactor begins to give out on him. He pulls through, defeats Obadiah (with Potts’s help), and somehow manages to survive. A day or so after the events Tony Stark announces to the world in a press conference that he was this new superhero flying about. That he was, indeed, this so-called “Iron Man.” Six months later he’s “successfully privatized peace,” is battling with the government over legal rights to his powered armor, and is slowly dying from palladium poisoning. Enter the manor.
Abilities/Powers: Stark’s greatest asset is most definitely his intellect. While hard to work with and comprehend sometimes and even harder to get to sit down and actually work many a time, Tony Stark could pretty much be labeled the most intelligent being in his world without much of a stretch. He is extremely brilliant. His specialty is in electrical engineering with a keen eye in business management and the financial game. He can build just about anything with his hands as long as he has the right tools. His long list of skills include just about anything with technological wonders; he can write software programming, hack into systems, build/repair/improve an engine or machine or computer type piece, design specialty reactors, create new elements on the periodic table, etc-the simple point of the matter is that he is good with his hands, and his brain holds a vast amount of knowledge and he is quick to learn even more knowledge, and can solve a problem with little to no outside aid.
Besides that, Stark is powerfully built physically and keeps up this build with an odd regiment of sparring, using mostly boxing and kick-boxing type martial arts. Average by human standards but close to a professional athlete’s capabilities. He’s not much of a fighter outside of his powered armor but most definitely not as helpless as one might first expect. But when he dons the Iron Man armor a whole new can of abilities and capabilities are unlocked and he practically becomes a whole new person. He is an ultimate defender and practically unstoppable-at least against most possibilities. While in the suit he has protection from just about anything beneath a nuclear weapon, although higher caliber rounds can and will inflict aesthetic damage to his armor and, if kept up, eventually penetrate. Most things don’t make it that far however. He isn’t invincible, but he often appears to be. The suit grants Stark flight capabilities, super strength, is armed with a variety of weapons, and is environmentally sealed.
I don’t know, he won’t be as super awesome? His suit will be at half-strength and flight will be limited (mostly in speed); his weapons won’t be nearly as devastating and he won’t be able to replenish the limited ammo ones so that eventually he’ll be left with nothing but the powered-down energy weapons. Won’t have access to the armor outside of the dream-world. Not limiting his genius because that’s just gay. :\
