Iron Man

Iron Man is an iconic Superhero appearing in Marvel Online Universe. A wealthy American business magnate, playboy, philanthropist, inventor and ingenious scientist, Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping in a foreign country by local terrorists. When his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction, he instead creates a mechanized suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark develops his suit, adding weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man. Although at first concealing his true identity, Stark eventually publicly reveals himself to be Iron Man.

Tony kept his alter-ego a secret for most of his career, juggling his responsibilities as head of Stark Industries while becoming a key player in the superhuman community as Iron Man, and becoming a founding member of the world's premier super hero team, the Avengers. Brash but brilliant, Stark embodies the attributes of a typical rich boy, but is considered one of the world's greatest technical geniuses.
