My armor was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon, and now I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys, but one thing you can't take away - I am Iron Man. 1 History 2 Personality 2.1 Strengths 2.2 Weaknesses 3 Abilities 4 External Links History See also Tony Stark HistoryPersonality Strengths Intelligence - Tony is one of the minds of his generation. The technology he develops is years beyond any of his peers', and even aside from his engineering brilliance, he's capable of teaching himself new disciplines overnight. He's also a quick and creative thinker, often making intuitive leaps and surprising accurate predictions. Generosity - Honestly, he just likes giving people things. He may be terrible with gifts, but people he likes can be offered anything from food to living spaces to brand-new technology. It doesn't seem to occur to him that it might be a big deal and he doesn't expect gratitude. He just wants to make sure the people around him have everything they need. Drive - Whether it's a short term project or a long term goal, if Tony has decided something is important to him, he'll laser-focus on it and refuse to let anything stop him. When it comes to his work, it means that he'll go on engineering binges and forget to eat or sleep. For more expansive things, like changing the world, he'll do whatever it takes. Weaknesses Arrogance - Spending most of his life as the smartest person in the room has not given him much patience for listening to other opinions. Tony often convinced that he knows better than everyone else and won't hesitate to do whatever he thinks is right despite what anyone says. Artifice - Tony likes to make a big show out of being aloof and uncaring. It's half public persona and half defense mechanism from growing up pretty much entirely in the public eye, and sometimes it almost seems like he's convinced himself he doesn't care too. It most often manifests as keeping people distant and seemingly refusing to take anything seriously. Self-hated - No one hates Tony Stark more than Tony Stark does. There's always been a core in him of trying to escape who he is, and years of guilt over the damage his inventions have done, survivor's guilt of having lived when better men have died and a whole pile of PTSD have not helped. He desperately wants to make things better for everyone, but the fact that it goes badly wrong so often -- Ultron and the Sokovia Accords in particular -- just keep weighing him down farther. Abilities  The Iron Man armor Master Engineer - Give him a few scraps of metal in a cave or a collection of supplies from a hardware store and he can build almost anything. He's also an expert programmer who can build AI's from scratch, an inventor and a good enough hacker to have cracked the Pentagon while in high school. Master Scientist - Taught himself a new subject overnight, synthesized an undiscovered element and came up with modifications for the Extremis formula while drunk at a party. Expert Businessman - After becoming CEO of Stark Industries at 21, Tony grew the company to become the premiere weapons supplier for the US Military before the events Afghanistan switched his priorities to becoming the big name in green energy. Expert Tactician - Particularly good at split-second and on the fly decisions, though he's also proven that he can be a skilled leader when needed. Martial Artist - He's trained in unarmed combat. While he'll never be able to go up against serious fighters out of the armor, he can hold his own in a fight. In the armor, he can go toe-to-toe with just about anyone. Multilingual - English, Spanish, Italian, Dari and at least conversational French. External Links Code Credit |
