As an upperclassman, Stark suffered from alcoholism. He drank almost on a regular basis, and subsequently got replaced by [[James Rhodes (Earth-616)|Rhodey]] as Iron Man and got kicked off the Avengers (though he eventually regained his position).

What kind of technology does Tony Stark use in his Iron Man suit? toggle section
Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man in the Marvel comics, uses a variety of advanced technologies in his suit.

The suit is stored in the torso and expands into full form upon activation. Stark also uses a miniaturized Arc Reactor, a clean energy device, in his chest. This not only powers the Iron Man armor but also keeps him alive by powering an electromagnet that keeps shrapnel out of his heart. Additionally, Stark has developed different modules that can be attached or detached from the suit depending on the situation, providing him with a range of capabilities.
