What is the backstory of Tony Stark becoming Iron Man? toggle section
Tony Stark, the adopted son of weapons manufacturer Howard Stark, inherited his family's company at a young age after his parents' death. While overseeing a manufacturing plant in a foreign country, he was kidnapped by local terrorists. Instead of succumbing to their demands to build weapons, Stark ingeniously created a powerful suit of armor to escape. Upon returning to America, he further upgraded the armor and used his vast resources and intellect for the betterment of the world, thus becoming the superhero known as Iron Man. For most of his career, Tony kept his alter-ego a secret, balancing his responsibilities as head of Stark Industries and his role in the superhuman community as Iron Man.

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 primary power of the Iron Man suit comes from the armored suit itself, which was originally put on manually but has since been upgraded to assemble around Stark in less than two seconds. 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.
