## Origins

Tony Stark is the CEO of Stark Industries. In 2011, he was attempting to sell a weapon called "The Vertigo Missile" to the United States military in Iraq, While he was there, one of his older bombs was used by the ancient organization called "The Ten Rings," which exploded next to him, causing him to get shrapnel embedded in his chest, as well as all of his limbs flying off. Tony was then taken as a prisoner by The Ten Rings, along with his butler, Edwin Jarvis, and a local scientist named Ho Yinsen, and was forced to work with them to build them a weapon. Tony would instead have them build him mechanical arms and legs, along with a micro arc-reactor to power an electromagnet in his chest, keeping the shrapnel away from his heart, as well as powering his mechanical limbs. He then used these machines to build a mechanical suit of armor called "The Mark I." Tony then used this suit of armor to escape from The Ten Rings, though both Yinsen and Jarvis died during the escape. Tony was eventually found by the United States military and returned home.

## Returning home

Tony would return to his home in California, but refused to see the anyone, aside from his assistant, Pepper Potts, CFO Obadiah Stane, and best friend James Rhodes, for one week. During that week, he would build a new suit of armor and a holographic projector, along with designing an AI assistant, which he called J.A.R.V.I.S., named after his diseased butler. At the end of the week, Tony would use the holographic projector to project a version of himself without any injuries onto the stage, and would announce that Stark Industries would no longer be making weapons, due to what he had experienced in Iraq, and would instead produce clean energy and fund other technological advances. Tony would call the government after the meeting to tell them that he designed one final weapon for them: "The Mark II." Tony would attempt to sell the armor to S.H.I.E.L.D., but they wanted Tony to show them how the suit worked, so he obliged and and agreed to give their director, Nick Fury, a personal demonstration.

## The Extremis Saga

During the battle of New York, Tony was forced to make a choice between saving a family in an apartment building and helping Thor and Captain America stop Ymir. He would choose the latter, which caused a teenage kid named Adrian Shroud to lose his family and be orphaned. Tony felt horrible about this and decided to adopt Shroud. He told Adrian very quickly about the battle of New York, but Adrian didn't have any grudges against Tony. Tony started to raise young Shroud in his new mansion, and would eventually show Adrian his armors. Adrian would then actually offer some good advice on upgrades he could make in the future, and Tony actually listened to him. At the same time, Tony was funding Aldrich Killian's healing project at Stark Industries called "Extremis." Tony would go to announce Extremis at the Stark Expo, but would be forced to suit up when a mysterious armored man, calling himself "Wireframe," attacked the Expo and attempted to steal the Extremis formula. Tony would be nearly beaten by him, but Adrian would show up out of nowhere in one of Tony's old armors, codenamed "The Heartbreaker." Adrian helped to fight off Wireframe, but he still managed to escape. Tony reprimanded Adrian after the battle, but Adrian would start to modify the Heartbreaker armor in secret for the next few months while Tony looked into what Wireframe wanted with Extremis, only to find that he actually wasn't trying to steal the formula, and was actually trying to kill Tony. Aldrich Killian had hired Wireframe to kill Tony in exchange for some of the Extremis formula, so that Killian could take all of the credit for Extremis. Tony would then attempt to have Killian arrested, only for him to reveal that he had taken an unstable, early version of the Extremis Formula, and had been given fire-based abilities. Killian then kidnapped Tony and was planning to kill him in front of Adrian, who he had grown close to. Wireframe had also shown up. Adrian, however, had researched Wireframe and discovered that he was actually a 60 year old man with an inoperable brain tumor, and Killian had promised him a sample of the finished version of Extremis, which could theoretically cure him, in exchange for helping to kill Tony. Adrian would use this information later, as he was being forced to watch as Killian and Wireframe were about to kill Tony, only to suddenly receive an electric shock and be pushed back. Tony was surprised to look over and see that the shocks had come out of Adrian's hands. Adrian then called the Heartbreaker armor, which he had renamed "The Iron Kid Mark I." Tony then called in his most upgraded armor, and the two would team-up to take down Killian and Wireframe, though Adrian convinced Wireframe to switch sides, telling him that he didn't need to be the bad guy and that Tony would give him some Extremis once everything was over. Wireframe agreed, and the three managed to overpower Killian. In the aftermath, Wireframe would receive treatment from the Extremis, but then go to prison. Tony would allow Adrian to operate as his sidekick, but would ask Adrian what was going on with the electricity, only for him to reveal that he was a mutant, and that his mutant gene had activated when his family died during the battle of New York. He had the ability to create shields around himself and manipulate electricity. Tony would then enroll Adrian in Charles Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters, but would have Adrian still live with him, and have him simply go to the school on the weekdays to learn how to better control his abilities.

## Appearance

Tony Stark is a Caucasian man with a full black goatee, black hair, and brown eyes. Tony wears a harness around his upper body, which houses an arc-reactor, which powers his armor and an electromagnet in his chest. Additionally, all of his limbs are made of metal, with the fingers and toes being incredibly sharp and the ends, and him also having spiked protruding out of his elbows and the back of his knees, which help to link up his body to his armor.

His initial armor essentially looked the same as the MCU's version of the Mark I.

His main armor in *Iron Man: Blood Metal* Looked like a modern version of his classic armor, though the jaw was a separate piece from the rest of his helmet, and thus moved while he talked.

His third armor, which he wore for most of the first storyline in *Avengers: Alliance* looked almost exactly the same as his main *Blood Metal* armor, though it had some metal accents.

His heartbreaker armor, which he only wore briefly, looked exactly like the MCU's version of the armor, but with more blue accents than the film version.

the armor he wore starting with the second story arc looked like his third armor, but with silver hands.

The armor he wears from the Thanos storyline onward looks exactly like his initial *Ultimate Comics* armor.

## Powers and Abilities

* Genius-level intellect
* Suits of armor that allow him to fly, fire repulsor blasts from his hands, fire missiles and other weapons out of his suit, give him high durability, and give him two detachable swords, which can be removed from his armor. He also has a hacking tool, access to Stark tech in order to communicate from a distance with other characters, and access to his AI, J.A.R.V.I.S.

## Trivia

* If this was a comic series, each series would be named after the titles listed in the “appears in” section of Tony's bio.
* The main change with Tony was that he lost more of his body to his missile.
