Anthony Stark (Earth-616RL)

Iron Man, real name Anthony "Tony" Stark, is a superhero from Marvel Comics.

Early life
Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark was born to Howard and Maria Stark. A brash but brilliant inventor, Stark was self-described as a genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist. His parents were assassinated by the Winter Soldier and Hydra covered up the incident as car crash. For a few months, Howard Stark's partner Obadiah Stane took over as CEO of Stark Industries before Tony Stark inherited the company, becoming the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company in history. Stark created the AI system Jarvis, named after the family's butler Edwin Jarvis. James Rhodes became a liaison between Stark Industries and the United States Air Force.

Iron Man
While demonstrating a fleet of Jericho missiles in Afghanistan, he was attacked by the Ten Rings who had Stark weaponry.

One of the missiles embedded several pieces of shrapnel into his chest, several fragments dangerously close to his heart.

Another captive, Ho Yinsen saved him by attaching an electromagnet to his chest to keep the shrapnel from entering his heart. The Ten Rings demanded Stark build the Jericho missile for them. Knowing their captors would just kill them afterwards, Stark and Yinsen created the Iron Man armour. During this time, Yinsen created the Arc Reactor for Stark to improve his condition. Stark used this to power the Iron Man armour, which he used to escape his captors, though Yinsen was killed. Upon returning home, he utilised several more armours to use against terrorists. He later learned Stane had been selling weapons to the Ten Rings. He fought Stane's Iron Monger armour and killed him. Following his fight against Stane, Stark publicly revealed himself as Iron Man.
