==Summary==
Tony Stark A.K.A Iron Man is a primary protagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. A millionaire playboy who founded Stark Industries, his business was the largest weapons manufacturer in the United States. His life would change forever when he partook in the field testing of one of his latest weapons in southeast Asia. Unexpectedly attacked by enemy forces, Tony's chest was struck by a piece of shrapnel from an exploding bomb. He was later held in captivity by the hands of a terrorist group, forced to create a powerful weapon for them. Instead, he created a life-sustaining battle suit in order to escape. Stark would later improve his battle suit to become Iron Man, dedicating his life to preserving peace and protecting the innocent.
When Thanos wiped out half of the population with the power of the Infinity Gems, Tony, along with many other heroes and villains, joined forces to stop the Mad Titan; an effort that yielded success. The Armored Avenger would later be called to aid in the battle against many other adversaries, including the likes of Galactus and Ultron-Sigma.

|-|General=
Tony is an extremely intelligent industrial genius capable of creating incredibly powerful and advanced weaponry and battle suits on his own.Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Official Site As the CEO and founder of Stark Industries, he is able to run an entire industry business alongside JARVIS and Pepper. Claimed to have built a robot like X and Zero as a 4th grade science fair project, who are both boasted to be a more advanced generation of robots. His tech was stated by Zero to rival Abel City's, maybe even surpassing it. Viewed by X to be capable of aiding him and Dr. Light with technological upgrades. Spencer considers Tony's armor to be better than his bionic arm, with the Armored Avenger consistently suggesting to give him upgrades. Tony has also shown to have notable knowledge of Spanish, as seen in his response to the name "Nova". With the help of Thanos, he managed to create the Infinity Buster, a weapon advanced enough to wield the power of four Infinity Gems, cosmic artifacts bearing immense transcendent power. Was able to quickly understand that the Infinity Stones, which the Mad Titan stated far exceeded Tony's human comprehension, share a single harmonic frequency, and that the Infinity Buster would need to tune that harmonic tone to precisely channel the stones' infinite power. Hearing this, he correctly concluded that he needed to amplify and regulate the stones' output.
|-|Combat=
Combat-wise, Tony is a highly capable fighter, utilizing everything in his armor's arsenal to claim victory. Additionally, he is highly proficient in dealing with opponents superior to him, evidence being the existence of the Hulkbuster Armor, which is meant to battle the Hulk, and possibly tactics that allowed him to prevail against She-Hulk in the Contest of Champions. Ultimately, his fighting style involves extremely strategic and specialized use of projectiles, ranged abilities, aerial combos, air dashing, and zoning. Even with this distance-keeping combat style, moves such as Repulsor Blast are good for punishing opponents who get too close. Iron Man is also skilled in mobility and is even capable of air-dashing to supplement his flight mechanic. Iron Man's zoning specialty also comes with many anti-air attacks, granting him numerous opportunities to counteract his opponent's movements and perform fatal counterattacks. Overall, Iron Man has extremely notable advantages in ranged and aerial combat, making him a very versatile and dangerous opponent to combat against.

*Repulsor Blast: Iron Man releases an overhead cross-shaped laser attack with both hands. This attack juggles opponents and has a vacuuming effect. Repulsor Blast can be followed up by Repulsor Spread, where Tony causes his reactor to force an instant burst of energy that blasts opponents away. 
*Repulsor Ray: The replacement of Repulsor Blast in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Tony fires three consecutive repulsor beams, knocking back opponents. Based on attack strength, opponents hit by the attack will wall-bounce, granting the opportunity for an upcoming combo. Unlike Repulsor Blast, Repulsor Ray can also be performed mid-air.

As the opponent begins to free fall, Iron Man hunches forward before thrusting his chest out, firing a supercharged Unibeam at the opponent.
|-|Infinity Gems=
*Power Gem: Iron Man can use the Power Gem to increase his attack damage for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version grants him a powerful attack with increased pushback force.
*Time Gem: Iron Man can use the Time Gem to increase his movement speed for a brief time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version allows him to move a set distance forward or backwards in the form of an instant dash that goes through the opponent and their attacks. 
*Reality Gem: Iron Man can use the Reality Gem to create three different elemental projectiles across the screen; electric spheres, icicles and fire orbs. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version will make him launch a slow, homing energy burst with each use.
*Space Gem: Iron Man can use the Space Gem to increase his defense for a period of time, which reduces damage taken from his opponent's attacks. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version allows him to push the opponent forward or backwards, and the Infinity Storm version seals them in a large, square force cage which restricts their movement for a while.
*Mind Gem: Iron Man can use the Mind Gem to constantly refill his Hyper Combo gauge for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version provides him with a special throw attack which instantly stuns an opponent if hit.
*Soul Gem: Iron Man can use the Soul Gem to increase/fill his health for a short period of time. Unique to him, his normal attacks deal extra electrical damage and drain the opponent's Super Meter. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version grants him a far-reaching energy attack which absorbs the health off the opponent upon hit.
