Contents |
Origin
Trapped behind enemy lines during a time of war, industrialist Tony Stark constructed a set of powered armor and escaped.
History
With an inordinate arrogance to match his extraordinary wealth, Tony Stark would seem to make an unlikely superhero. He has, never-the-less, managed to saved lives, nations, and civilizations during his tenure as Iron Man. He has also served as a leader in the superhero community, having had affiliations with various incarnations of the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Powers and Abilities
His incredible intellect is his primary inherent power. That is how he came to develop his suit of armor -and it is from there that everything else follows. He is practically invulnerable, he can fly, and he can project blasts of energy. These in addition to numerous other armor-derived abilities.
Tony Stark is also an alcoholic and this weakness had caused many problems for Iron Man over the years.
Armor
Grey iron.
Crimson and gold.
