## Bio

Tony Stark is the adoptive son of Howard and Maria Stark. He is a master prodigy, building his first engine at age 6, and getting his masters degree at MIT at age 15. When his parents died from a car crash, he inherited Stark Industries, and used the profits from the weapons manufacturing and trading for his own excursions.

However, everything changed in Afghanistan when a shrapnel bomb critically injured Tony in his heart, and was captured by a group of terrorists who wanted him to build more weapons for them. Instead, Tony created an Arc Reactor to keep the shrapnel in his heart from going deeper in, and constructed a suit made of Iron to make his escape.

Once back in America, Tony shut down the weapon manufacturing wing, and decided to save the world as best as he can with a new suit, dubbing him self as the Invincible Iron Man.

Throughout his many battles, he became one of the founding members of The Avengers, and has created more suits for any type of battle he might come across.

## One Minute Melee

While Tony Stark was lounging around in his mansion, the lights in his mansion went out, and was then paid a visit by Batman, who was expecting him to take his job more seriously, but Tony refused and then suited up and fought the Batman. While the armored avenger managed to hold his own and evened the odds against the Dark Knight, in the end, Batman dodged Iron Man's Photon Cannon and placed a Batarang on Iron Man's back which exploded and took the top of the building with him. Afterwards, Tony agreed to take the hero seriously and much to his annoyance, Batman left.
