CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Tony Stark
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 48
Suitability: N/A
Species:
Canon Point: End of Iron Man 3
World/Setting: N/A
History: MCU history of Tony Stark
Personality: Tony is a man of many complexities that at times almost seem at odds with each other. He claims to not be sentimental, however the three robots in his movies were built while he was in college and he has always kept them with him. He is impulsive and vain, yet can muster a great deal of foresight and strategy, and is really not afraid to get his hands dirty. Not only that, but as someone who is seen by the world as a play boy, he has a deep sense of romance within himself that few get to see.
Tony Stark is a quick-witted genius, who near compulsively talks over other people in order to justify his own thoughts. While he is also able to come off as rather unflappable and cool headed, most all of Tony’s expressions come straight from his eyes and eyebrows. Once his mind is made up on something his eyes will show it, and if you can see it in his eyes then there is very little point in attempting to dissuade him.
He is also a man of great depth and emotion, however it is all greatly internalised. When learning about the crimes being committed by the 10 rings in Golmera, Tony is furious but very little of it comes to the surface, at most the only thing that truly shows this is the hard expression he wears and his repulsor assault on his windows. Because for Tony, a great deal of his life is based on what he can control of it. Which is shown time and again, when Tony has no control over what is happening around him he can become erratic in his movements has he fights to get back on top of the situation, or he will become self-destructive.
His erratic behaviour is shown in the first movie when he is presented with the events of Golmera, where he take his frustration out on his shop then heads straight to the middle eastern town in his newly machined Mark III armour and takes out all of the insurgents, without telling anyone or any actual training in any way including basic self-defence, Just his relatively untested suit.
Self-destructive behaviour is shown in the second movie when the repeated use of his Iron man armour starts to cause accelerated palladium poisoning, and without a suitable element which at the time couldn’t be found, he would die. Which after a few failed attempts to let those close to him know due to how hard it is for him to express his feelings lead him to become more reckless with his life than usual causing him to become a bigger grandstander, wasting more money than needed and becoming dangerously drunk drastically pushing away Rhodie and Pepper from him.
Even though Tony has been born into money and can be over the top frivolous with it, he is also exceedingly generous with it, with his money going to his own charities like the (Maria*) Stark foundation, and the Boy Scouts of America. Even going so far as to run the Stark Expo for an entire year in order for up and comers the chance to show case their work in order to get additional funding from those attending the expo or just to show off what it on the horizon.
Tony’s genius is currently unparalleled; the only person who rivalled him was his father who died roughly 30 years ago, while Tony was 15. Which is shown in his history with robots, his creating of JARVIS, not to mention his adapting his father’s arc reactor and being able to design a personal full body prosthesis that can achieve flight, is completely self-pressurised and contains an internal waste filtration system, also known as the Iron Man armour.
He is the biggest promoter of his external persona of the ‘Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist’ and while all these things about him are true, he will always play up to it in public, that being said, however, he is loyal to those he considers to be his in various way, and is very protective of them in his own ways. When he was lead to believe that Agent Phil Coulson was dead, it was the moment that Tony had decided that Loki had taken it too far and had made it his mission to make sure that Loki didn’t get away with what he had done, even going so far to tell Loki that not only had his made enemies of all those within the Avengers (While interestingly enough, leaving himself completely out of the equation), that he had also pissed of Phil Coulson.
Before his kidnapping, Tony was never concerned about accountability, but once seeing the effects that his weapons had on the innocent, he became very aware that everything you do has consequences and you should be held responsible for it. To that end when something happened Tony took it upon himself to correct what had happened, from Obadiah Stane becoming the Iron Monger, Ivan Vanko wanting revenge for his wronged father, Justin Hammer’s desperate need to show Tony up with inferior products, even so far as to take on some of the responsibility for Loki’s rampage. Each time he put his life on the line to correct these problems, believing that as long as the correct outcome was achieved his life was negligible. However he would always put his life on the line when he couldn’t formulate any other plan of action. Not one to lay down on the wire himself, but cut the wire, proving that Tony would rather lose no lives, than lose one heroic one.
Due to his father being almost cruelly distant, and his mother barely being mentioned, it is obvious as to why Tony has a hard time being a part of team situations, or even trusting other on a basic level. It is even shown that the only people he will be ‘real’ with are Pepper, Rhodie and to a certain extent Happy. But even then the moment things would get to a certain level of real he would immediately pull back or say something that he knew would cause distance. This is most obviously shown in the first half of Iron Man II. It was only when confronted with a challenge far too big for him to handle on his own that he was actually open to the idea of not only being part of a team, but being in a position that wasn’t the direct leader. However he does seem to stand somewhere between co-leader to Steve Rogers (Captain America) and second in command as the others are more likely to take orders from him than give order to him. For a man like Tony Stark this is probably one of his biggest steps in personal development.
With the events of IM3 behind him. Tony has whipped the slate clean, he has had his reactor and the remaining shrapnel removed from his body, which has left a scar on his chest that still receives Tony’s absent minded tapping, and has since started working on new Iron Man suits that work with their own chest pieces. He has also realised how his previously arrogant ways have managed to effect those that he has previously disregarded in his live, which has further humbled his personality when out of the limelight.
*While it is stated the Tony started the Maria Stark foundation in supplemental data within MCU it is only referred to in the movies as anything more than the Stark Foundation.
Abilities/Weaknesses:
Genius - Tony is a born genius, and has accomplished many great things with that genius in his 48 years of life. From building his own circuit board at four years old to enhancing and miniaturising his father’s original arc reactor design to make it not only work, but support an electro-magnet living within his chest (at least until he had it removed very recently). He even build a particle accelerator in his workshop in order to help physically realise an element his father theorised, which he is in the process of trying to get named ‘Badassium’
Mechanically/Electronically minded - There is very little that Tony stark cannot build or design, he even goes to the trouble of designing programs for hacking into specific places just to find out the information being held within. To this end, there is very little that Tony can’t do with the resources he has on hand.
Perfectly maintained front - Having grown up in the spotlight and under near constant scrutiny by the public, Tony has perfectly adapted a front of charming philanthropist playboy. Always with a grin and quick-witted thing to say at all times when in public. There has only been one time that he has come out from this mask and that’s was when he believed he was close to death, and let himself become irrational at all times because he was losing his own control.
Alcoholic - Living in his father’s shadow has inadvertently lead to him picking up similar coping mechanisms, one such mechanism was to head to the bottle when you want to escape. This was most obvious in the second movie, leading up to his near death. However since then while he has been seen with a glass very rarely will he find himself in excess with alcohol anymore.

Are you really sure about this?”
The Pine Marten Tony has slowly been coming to terms with sat on a towel that rests on a metal work bench, watching him thoughtfully.
“You’re supposed to be part of me right? Shouldn’t you already know if I’m sure about this? I mean that is meant to be your thing, after all.”
Tony didn’t look up from the small circuit board he was soldering. He had been appropriating things here and there in order to build and work on his little project, another robot.
“And you know we don’t have to go over this, you know it already. It’s just. The portal could open any day, back to home. You have the suit, JARVIS, and now me. You don’t actually need to build this.”
Wiping off the tip of the soldering iron, Tony slips it back in the cradle then looks over at her.
“Okay, ferret-ball. Neither of us know that for certain, and I can’t just sit twiddling my thumbs when god knows what’s going on back in our world, I can’t just leave Pepper… Everyone out in the lurch, remember how we’re kind of part of a team.”
Tony pauses for a second and then rubs at his eyes as if suddenly very tired.
“One week and I’m already using first person plurals. I am part of a team, part of a relationship. It’s not something I can just abandon, not after all this personal growth I’ve gone through in the last few years.”
Getting on all fours Medea trots the length of the towel, leaping over Tony’s work to his arm, artfully climbing up it and curling around his shoulders. While he was slowly getting used to her doing it, he still couldn’t help but still find it strange that what still in his mind was a wild and kind of bitey, creature was getting comfortable on him.
“Okay, Tony. But I’m going to worry about you, because you never do.”
