== Background ==
Tony Stark was the son of billionaire weapons manufacturer Howard Stark and the owner of Stark Industries. When demonstrating his latest weapon at a military testing for the Jericho Missile, he was captured by terrorists, who demanded that he build the Jericho Missile for them that he just demonstrated to the US military. Due to the shrapnel in his chest, an electromagnet had to be placed in his chest to keep it away from his heart, which Stark later replaced with an arc reactor. In secret, Stark built a giant mechanical suit to escape from a prison cave, which he did so successfully. Because of this incident, Stark's eyes were opened as he saw first-hand where his weapons were going. Tony built a perfected Mark 2 of the Iron Man suit he used to escape the cave. He tested this, but upon finding some faults, built a Mark 3 suit and painted it red and gold. After he defeated his business partner, Obadiah Stane who had struck a deal with the terrorists and rebuilt the original Mark 1 as Iron Monger, he revealed himself to the world as Iron Man. Nick Fury, commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., then approached him and asked him to join the Avengers in the future, but Stark declined.
Some time later, Stark had developed a further three suits, and gained an armored ally in his friend Colonel James Rhodes, who became known as War Machine after taking Stark's Mark 2 suit and having it modified. He also was dying from a Palladium poisoning caused by his old chest-piece, which he later fixed, and had further dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D, with Director Fury and the Black Widow. Also dealing with Ivan Vanko, wanted revenge for what happened between their respected fathers in the past.
In New York City, Tony oversaw the construction of Stark Tower, including isolating it from the grid. Agent Coulson came to recruit Stark to look over Selvig's notes to help locate the Tesseract. Pepper Potts left for D.C. and Stark looked at Erik Selvig's notes.
Iron Man appeared at Stuttgart to assist Captain America and capture Loki, which he was successful in doing so. On the way back to the Helicarrier, Thor came and took Loki, which prompted Iron Man and Captain America to fight Thor. Aboard the carrier, Tony placed devices to help him break into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database. He then helped Bruce Banner locate the Tesseract and talked Banner into using the Hulk as hero. He questioned Steve and why S.H.I.E.L.D. needed them now and not earlier. During the attack on the Helicarrier, Steve and Tony tried to fix the destroyed rotor, which they were successful, but severely damaged his Mark 6 armor in the process. Tony mourned Coulson's death and realized that Loki wanted to them out publicly and used Stark Tower as a power source for the portal machine. He headed to it and informed Loki that he had made the other five Avengers mad, Loki tried to possess Tony, but his arc reactor protected him from Loki's magic. Loki then threw Stark out a window, but not before Tony activated the Mark 7 armor which was deployed around him during his fall.
Stark joined the other Avengers (Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye) and helped stop Loki and his Chitauri army from taking over the Earth. Captain America ordered Stark to patrol the three mile radius around Stark Tower, where he neutralized several Chitauri. He then intercepted a nuclear weapon and manually aimed it at the alien mother ship. The effort involved forced his suit to shut down and Stark to become unconscious, resulting in an uncontrolled descent back to Earth. The Hulk safely caught him and woke him up. He helped Thor return to Asgard. Afterwards, he drove off with Bruce Banner.
Due to his near death experience in New York , Tony suffered from post traumatic stress disorder and insomnia. As such. he continuously built suits for various scenarios including perfecting his newest suit, the Mark 42, which he designed so he could summon it piece by piece anywhere and at anytime, as he never wanted to be in danger without a suit nearby.
After various bombings by an international terrorist known as The Mandarin, Tony confronted him, resulting in the destruction of his Malibu mansion and Tony's supposed death. However, he had survived and eventually discovered that the Mandarin was an actor hired by Aldrich Killian (who Stark had ignored in the past), so he could use an experimental serum called Extremis, which caused its users to spontaneously combust, to control the government. Stark ultimately stopped Killian and saved Pepper (who Killian had injected with Extremis) and President Ellis with help from Pepper and Rhodey. Afterwards, he perfected Extremis, not only healing Pepper, but also removing the shrapnel and obsolete arc reactor from his chest.
After the fallout of S.H.I.E.L.D. due to Hydra's infiltration, Tony became the Avengers benefactor, and turned Stark Tower into their new base, Avengers Tower. He also created a legion of Iron Man like suits to help them keep peace. Stark created Ultron, programmed peace-keeping AI found in Loki's staff, to lead the legion. However, Ultron turned against them. Being a robot with Stark's mind, Ultron went to create a new body for himself, which the Avengers stole from him and brought to life for JARVIS to control. The new body that was meant for Ultron was thus turned into the Vision, who proved extremely powerful, considering he could wield Thor's hammer. He ultimately destroyed Ultron and joined the Avengers along with Scarlet Witch. 
== Notes ==
* Iron Man's Mark 42 Armour makes an appearance in 76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack, however its head is a blank white piece. This is because you can replace the white head with Tony Stark or Pepper Potts's head.
* A suitcase representing Iron Man's Mark 5 armor folded up also makes an appearance in 76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack
* His preliminary face at Comic Con was the same as Jack Sparrow's cursed variation, and at the NY Toy Fair 2012 was Bruce Wayne's old face.
* The mask doesn't flip open like it does in the films. In the films, the chin stays put and the face pivots up.
* In LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, The Bleeding Edge (Heroic Age) suit's hands go from bright red to dark red.
* There are different variations of him in the two LEGO movie posters, one has his helmet with the visor up, and the other has the hair of the Weight Lifter mini-figure, when on the Tony Stark mini-figure it is dark brown.
