Tony Stark
Tony Stark, the genius billionaire and philanthropist, revolutionized heroism by creating and wearing the iconic Iron Man suit. As CEO of Stark Industries and a founding Avenger, he once powered global defense, even working with S.H.I.E.L.D., until he saw the damage his tech could cause. That revelation sparked a change. Teaming up with Yinsen, Tony built his first Iron Man suit, marking the moment he shifted from arms dealer to a hero fighting for peace and justice. Iron Man was born—a symbol of redemption, innovation, and unyielding courage.
"My armor, it was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon. And now, I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys. But one thing you can't take away... I am Iron Man."
―Tony Stark
