Tony Stark’s Character Growth in Iron Man In the beginning of Iron Man, the main protagonist, Tony Stark, was generally a bad person. He was an extreme example of the celebrity stereotype-- flashy, arrogant, self-absorbed, and rude. Stark took personal honors, as well as relationships with others, for granted. But that all changed when Stark was kidnapped by a terroristic rebel group. During his time as a prisoner, Tony saw what horrors his technology could be used for, and later escaped captivity humbled and changed. From the moment he returned, Stark’s character started growing into a caring and heroic figure. Specifically, Tony Stark emerged as a new man, actually caring for his assistant, Pepper Pots, being concerned about what …show more content…
Oftentimes these extremely powerful weapons ended up in the wrong hands, like insurgents. When Tony’s convoy was attacked, a rocket lodged into the ground in front of him, bearing the inscription of Tony’s own corporation. Upon his return, having seen the horrors of his weaponry firsthand, Stark set out to right the wrongs. At his first press conference after coming home, Tony said, “I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero-accountability”. (Iron Man) He then proceeded to shut down the weaponry arm of Stark Industries. These actions are the sign of a changed man. Tony Stark went from war profiteering to whistleblowing for corrupt arms dealing. Finally, Tony Stark’s most obvious change was simply in becoming a superhero. From the start of the movie, Stark was a rich, self-interested playboy who would be more concerned over a scratch on the finish of his Audi R8 than the fate of the free world unless it benefitted him. Taking a completely different direction, Tony used his Iron Man suit to pursue those who wrongfully used Stark Industries weapons. Stark even stated, “I shouldn't be alive... unless it was for a reason. I'm not crazy, Pepper. I just finally know what I have to do. And I know in my heart that it's right”. (Iron Man) This
Tony was very protective over his little brother. In the book it says, “[Wes] loved his brother but had learned to ignore his occasional 'do as I say, not as I do' tirades. Tony, by contrast, was desperately trying to give his little brother information he thought he needed, the kind of information that Tony never got. Tony felt his little brother's life could be saved, even if he felt his own had already, at age fourteen, passed the point of no return.” (Moore 27). This shows that Tony doesn’t want Wes to join the drug business like he did because he knows it could have ruined his life. Despite what Tony told him, Wes started to distribute drugs which eventually, he got caught up with the
Fast forward to the year 2012, where it has been over a decade since the events that took place in Bern, Switzerland. Tony then turns on the television to discover a new terrorist that identified himself as the Manadrin. Later on Tony sits down at a restaurant with his best pal Colonel James Rhodes (Don Cheadel) aka “The Iron Patriot” formally the war machine to discuss what is going on with the Mandarin. Rhodes discusses with Tony that the media have only identified three bombing that the media knows about, but mentions that there has been nine that the Manadrin have been responsible for. Tony then is approached by a group of kids for an autograph and he suffers a severe anxiety attack. Rhodes then suggests that he gets out of the area. Tony then goes directly to his Iron Man suit to get out of the

Even if Tony found his grief and torment of his new life since he had worn iron armor, its chest plate is frequently needed charging and it should be constantly worn on him. When he has exhausted from this continuous and painful life, his fiancé suggested him to be a superhero with iron armor. Tony decided to improve his iron armor and he considers it as bodyguard to disguise his actual identity. He collects the sponsor who support his doing and makes formation of Avengers such as Thor, Ant-Man, Hulk, Captain America, and several members. They are extremely famous while they cooperate with each other to struggle with evils who want to devastate the world. In this point, his iron armor is popular from people all around the world in the imaginary
Although not comic accurate, his arrogance and imperiousness compels him to build the artificial intelligence 'Ultron' in an attempt to “create a suit of armour around the world”. Of course, Stark's self-righteous plan fails and his creation becomes the new super villain of the film Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). In spite of this, his character remains appealing because, “in the netherworld of our unconscious is our constant propensity to return to a state of primary narcissism” (Peaslee 2005:online).
Tony Stark is a billionaire that invents weapons for a profit. Tony's father had died in a car crash, leaving him the weapons company. With the help of his business partner Obadiah they rebuild the company. Stark was invited to Afghanistan to showcase his new weapon, the Jericho missile.

He created a suit of armor that empowered his escape, and helps in protecting the world. Tony Stark is a very witty character. Tony uses sarcasm throughout many comic books, and all of his movies.
Growing up with Howard Stark for a father, it's no wonder that Tony began showing an aptitude for math and science at a very young age. Tony began creating circuit boards at the age of four, and eventually came to build his first working engine at the age of six. School was nothing but a joke to Tony, who graduated MIT at the age of 17. Tony's IQ has been tested at genius levels, and he has a habit of not letting anyone forget that. Tony has reached the top of his field as an engineer, famously putting together the first Iron Man suit (and creating a miniaturized arc reactor to keep the shrapnel from entering his heart) together using nothing but dismantled weapons and scraps inside of a cave. His level of intellect allows him to be very resourceful,
Downey's performance is an important appeal to other Marvel heroes because he's something different from other superheros His acting and personalities create a comparison among classic heroes and modern heroes. Stark has a great sense of humor, which other heroes like Captain America and Hulk do not have. Moreover, I think people are willing to see Tony Stark because he is a character that we as audience are more relatable because he doesn't have superpower. It is also important to Marvel because Stark becomes a superhero that can make a superhero gathering more interesting instead of a whole bunch of people reciting platitudes as Roger Ebert mentions in his review. For instances, Stark in the Avengers argues with Banner, Hulk, do keep
The Iron Man suit has made Tony Stark a hero to most but in a society that is defined by rule utilitarianism he defies that by being an act utilitarian. What I mean by a society that is a rule utilitarian is that you either obey the law or you break it and by taking the law into his own hands Tony Stark defects from the norms of society and becomes a vigilante. The way he goes about taking the law into his own hands is also morally questionable and unvirtuous. Most of Stark’s actions in the Iron Man suit result in a criminal’s death, but we know they don’t need to if he had used the device Obadiah Stane had used for temporary paralysis. Actions that would result in Kantian Ethicists determining that Iron Man is intrinsically bad because he murders people.
After setting his fractured ankle, broken ribs and finishing the thirty plus stitches all over his body, there was nothing left medically to do other than rest and recuperation as well as the daily dose of painkiller. After having the Winter Soldier glare down every doctor and nurse that crossed his path, the staff were quick to deem him worth of keeping Tony in bed and dosed up, if just to get rid of the feeling of eyes watching their every move.
In Jon Favreau’s movie Iron Man, the story starts off with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) riding in a military convoy with U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. While joking around with the soldiers, their vehicle suddenly gets attacked. Tony quickly runs out and hides behind a nearby boulder while the soldiers attempt to fight but are rapidly killed. All of a sudden Stark sees a missile fired which lands close to him. Before it detonates, he notices that the missile has the Stark Industries logo on it. When it explodes, the missile severely injures Tony allowing the terrorists to capture and record him on video.
Tony is an indian. In the beginning, you get the impression, that he is a sweet, innocent and caring boy. He’s very helpful but also very naive. Through the story, it gets more and more clear, that there is something mentally wrong with Tony. He keeps believing, that the cop is something that his parents warned him about in his childhood, wich he calls ‘a masked dancer’. His parents told him not to look into the eyes, so in Tony’s head, the cop’s sunglasses equals the masked dancer’s mask. And Tony ends up killing the cop, and telling Leon that everything is O.K., it’s killed, they somethimes take on strange forms. He also compares the cop’s raised billy club to the witch’s raised human-bone in his dream.
Ironman did not just spontaneously appear as soon as Tony Stark thought of recreating the suit. He had to work at it and perform a series of different tests until he managed to obtain the correct designs (Rovi). For instance, Tony Stark stated, “Day 11, Test 37, Configuration 2.0. For lack of a better opinion, Dummy is still on fire safety.” (“Iron Man”). Therefore, alerting you of the slow process to success and still needing fire safety due to imperfections. Similarly, Wade Wilson encountered many of the same struggles with a suit (Ebert). However, the creation of Deadpool’s suit was a bit different than Iron man’s. Along the way, he did encounter some issues with the different kinds of suits and outfits, but, not as technical and complicated as Iron Man’s (Ebert). Once they completed their new creations, they were ready to face what is coming. Although that just so happens to be revenge in their case (“Iron
