Character Name: Tony Stark Series: Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline: After The Avengers Movie Canon Resource Links: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. Head canonwise, I see Tony as having a great aversion to having people too close to his chest, after Stane’s callous attack on him and stealing the reactor from out of his chest. And also that he is not only an early riser, never sleeping in past 6:30am, but that he tends to sleep only for 6 – 4 hours a day when not caught up in his super-heroing. A lover of coffee, he also tends to snack on various fruits and since the palladium poisoning takes a very conscious role in what he actually drinks, while not taking to complete sobriety, he is less keen to drink more than 2-3 drinks a night, scotch neat being his preferred abusive substance. *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.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Tony is a genius inventor capable of conceiving and building technological advancements far ahead of cutting edge technology. Among his achievements are the redeveloped arc reactors that his father co-conceived, His almost hyper-intelligent A.I system JARVIS, his Iron Man armour marks I - VII, and various advanced weapons/medical/agricultural technologies. Tony was taught to box by his body guard/chauffer Happy Hogan and has become quite physically formidable on his own when the situation demands it through his training and his various engineering projects that require him to be hands on, like working with cars or building particle accelerators. However, without his Iron Man armour he is pretty much a normal human strength and reaction wise. And without the arc reactor powering the electro-magnet in his chest he will die within a few days, slowly and painfully. Despite being part of the Avenger, Tony still has trust issues which cause him to strike out on his own when they aren’t around, mostly because that’s when he’s most comfortable. While he is very charismatic and could sell sand to a camel, Tony has bad interpersonal skills, as he still lives in a very “This is my world, you all just play in it” way. If it is of interest to him, Tony will learn everything on a subject very quickly, however if there is no immediate interest most everything he’s told is forgotten, which is seen when Tony is unaware of Pepper’s birthday, or her allergy to strawberries, though these were details that would have been supplied to him when Tony was obscenely more self-involved than he is now. It has also been shown that when challenged (In any way), Tony refuses to back down from it, feeling that it would cause him to lose face to those around him. However if he feels that a challenge is just so beneath him he will ignore or more likely be flat out insulting and rude the challenger, an example would be Justin Hammer, who tries so desperately to challenge Tony at what he does and is. Justin however isn’t the genius that Tony is and fails more than he succeeds, Knowing all of this, Tony is openly rude and dismissive of him, even openly admitting in front of him that the fact he had to be in a photo with him was ‘so awful’.

Third Person Sample:
Tony sits outside the Pokécenter contemplatively. The freaky bird he had been told was not only his, but he was also meant to train it, make it the best it could be.
Tony’s eyes are on the bird, which stands just off to one side while still in front of him. It preens for a moment before looking back at its new trainer. After a few moments of their eyes meeting each other, the genius engineer sees a level of intelligence that he had never seen in birds or most animals in his old world, especially not animals in New York.
“Skaaa?”
The bird gives him a curious tilt of the head.
“You’re really just going to say your. Well, your species, there aren’t you?”
The Skarmory just tilts its head in another direction, before giving something of a nod, causing Tony to lean back on the bench rubbing his temples.
“There is also the chance that something happened and I am drunk, and I’ve moved beyond pink elephant-“
Tony stops, and narrows his eyes at the bird.
“There aren’t… Pink elephants, right?”
The steel bird shook its head at him, causing the middle-aged man to sag in relief.
