451 came to Earth in order to stop the Greys from crushing humanity to a pulp as soon as the Earthlings were technologically developed enough. 451 revealed the Greys' intention to Howard, and told him he would need to insert someone in humanity to accelerate the human's technological growth for the moment they would need to face the Greys, and Stark's unborn child was the perfect candidate. 451 genetically engineered the baby with [[Kree]] technology to make him the one who would uplift humanity, modifying his thought process, making him to think differently and practically, in order to be an expert in advanced weaponry construction. Howard discovered 451 had added a "genetic clock" to the baby which would've killed him as soon as he matured, and developed a biococktail to interfere with it. 451 left Earth and the baby was born, but Howard's interference made him ill. He and Maria decided to keep the baby hidden in the [[Maria Stark Foundation (Earth-616)|Maria Stark Foundation]] Hospice and adopt a healthy son, as they couldn't conceive a new baby, to prevent 451 from discovering Howard's meddling. The adopted son was Tony.{{r|Iron Man Vol 5 17}}

Haunted by the casualties and his failure, Tony began drinking again. Then Odin appeared and after discussing with Tony, the All-Father proposed to Tony to create magical weapons at [[Svartalfheim]]. However, determined not to fail again, he restored his sobriety. With these weapons, the Avengers defeated the Serpent's [[The Worthy (Earth-616)|Worthy]] and [[Sinthea Shmidt (Earth-616)|Skadi]], while [[Thor Odinson (Earth-616)|Thor]] defeated the Serpent himself but payed with his life. Days later, Tony destroyed the weapons at Svartalfheim and after discussing with Odin, the God brought back to life the "statues" of the Parisians who weren't broken. Also, Stark offered the elf [[Splitlip (Earth-616)|Splitlip]] a place to work at Stark Resilient.{{r|Invincible Iron Man #510}}

Iron Man successfully destroyed the Shi'ar fleet, saving the Earth, but the final incursion was on the horizon. With only a few minutes before the event, Steve confronted Tony to settle up. The ensuing fight between the two old friends led Steve to force Tony to admit that he had lied to him and all of their allies, when he had known about the incursions all along, but Tony also confessed that he wouldn't change a thing. The final incursion started, and [[Earth-1610]]'s planet Earth started approaching Earth-616's planet Earth while Tony and Steve kept fighting. Earth-1610's S:H.I.E.L.D. launched a full invasión to destroy Earth-616, and Tony and Steve were crushed by a Helicarrier.{{r|Avengers Vol 5 44}}

He had no sense of responsibility or humility, always rubbing his success on the face of everyone he met.{{r|Original Sin Vol 1 3.2}} This all changed when he was captured by terrorists. After building the first Iron Man armor and escaping captivity, Stark had realized the kind of person he really was and engaged in a life of heroism to atone for his past mistakes.{{r|Iron Man #244}}

| Abilities ='''Super-Genius Class Intelligence:''' Quite apart from the powers granted him by the suit, Tony Stark is far more than a mechanical engineering prodigy who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with honors at the age of 17<ref>Iron Man: The Legend (1996)</ref>.
⚫
===Iron Man Armor===
  
  +
  ⚫
With an intelligence classed as super-genius,{{r|Avengers: Roll Call #1}} he easily is one of the smartest people on Earth. Furthermore, this extends to his remarkable ingenuity dealing with difficult situations such as difficult foes and deathtraps where he is capable of using his available tools, like his suit, in unorthodox and effective ways, as an example: when he built the first [[Iron Man Armor MK I|Iron Man Armor]] in captivity.{{r|Tales of Suspense #39}} He has also been able to hack even technology from the aliens [[Kree]], a race centuries more advanced than humans.<ref>Operation: Galactic Storm</ref>
  +
  ⚫
Tony is known as a "futurist". He has stated that the way his mind works he can intuit the future, even being able to foreshadow that a situation similar to the [[Civil War|superhuman Civil War]] was going to happen, years before it did.{{r|New Avengers Illuminati Vol 1 1}}
  +
  ⚫
More recently, Stark's intelligence grew to super-human levels with more energy being emanated to his brain thanks to the [[Arc Reactor|R.T. node]] in his chest, levels which even left [[Reed Richards (Earth-616)|Mr. Fantastic]] amazed.{{r|Invincible Iron Man #25}}
  +
  ⚫
Stark can use his superior intellect to the levels of dividing his consciousness with the help of [[Stark Datashades|equipment]] and perfectly operate three portions of his consciousness at the same time, being able to move, fight, talk and process information in three different bodies at the same time.{{r|Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic #7}} Tony has been mentioned by Reed Richard to be the world's best multitasker.{{r|Avengers Vol 5 43}}
  +
  ⚫
[[File:Iron Man Vol 5 1 Hastings Variant Textless.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Stark using his vast intellect to create multiple Iron Man Armors at the same time.]]
  ⚫
'''Expert Engineer:''' He is an excellent engineer and mechanic capable of fixing almost any, if not all machinery.
  +
  ⚫
'''Expert Businessman:''' Stark is extremely well-respected in the business world, able to command people's attentions when he speaks on economic matters by virtue of the fact that he is savvy enough to have, over the years, built up several multimillion dollar companies from virtually nothing. He is known for the loyalty he commands from and returns to those who work for him, as well as his impeccable business ethics. He also strives to be environmentally responsible in his businesses, and in one case, immediately fired an employee who made profitable (but illegal) sales to Doctor Doom. He states that if he wanted to, he could give away his entire fortune and build it up again within a week.
  +
  ⚫
'''Expert Tactician:''' He is a brilliant tactician capable of quickly formulating battle strategies and new plans if the situation changes, like being able to elaborate different complex plans in order to defeat different enemies in difficult situations,{{r|Invincible Iron Man #4}}{{r|Invincible Iron Man #516}} and be victorious. Even going as far as to simultaneously put Reed Richards in check on five different boards playing chess, a game he didn't learn until later in his life, leaving Richards totally astonished.{{r|Invincible Iron Man #4}}
  +
  ⚫
'''Skilled Combatant:''' Stark was trained in unarmed combat by Captain America, Black Widow, Black Panther and Shang-Chi{{r|Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic #12}} and has become quite physically formidable on his own when the situation demands it. He has managed to fight trained [[Hammer Industries (Earth-616)|Hammer Industries]] guards,{{r|Iron Man #125}} defeat five trained [[Skrull]] soldiers in single-handed combat,{{r|New Avengers Illuminati Vol 2 1}} trained Stark Industries security guards{{r|Iron Man vs. Whiplash #3}} and numerous [[Voldi]] gladiators.{{r|Iron Man Vol 5 7}}
  +
  ⚫
'''Trained Marksman:''' Tony knows how to handle firearms, mainly the ones he has produced.{{r|Iron Man #116}}
  +
  ⚫
[[File:Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Iron Man Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic Vol 1 5 003.jpg|thumb|250px|right]]
  ⚫
'''Slightly-Trained Acrobat:''' Through his training, Stark has learned to increase his agility and perform acrobatics, which even though don't reach levels of people like [[Steven Rogers (Earth-616)|Captain America]], are superior to the average human.{{r|Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic #5}}
  +
  ⚫
'''Indomitable Will:''' As evidenced by his two serious bouts with alcoholism and subsequent recovery, Stark is possessed of tremendous strength of will, never giving up and often emerging from defeat even stronger. It is arguable that the true "Iron Man" is not the armor, but Stark himself.
  +
  ⚫
'''Multilingual:''' Apart from English, Tony can speak different languages, including Japanese,{{r|Avengers: Millennium Infinite Comic Vol 1 2}} and Russian.{{r|Iron Man/Thor Vol 1 1}}
  +
  ⚫
| Strength = Without his armor Tony Stark possesses a strength a little superior than that of a normal human, he also engages in moderate regular exercise. The armor amplifies Stark's strength to incalculable levels, enabling him to normally lift (press) roughly [[Strength Scale#100 Tons|100 tons]]. If sufficiently powered by an outside source, the armor can achieve massively higher levels.
  +
  ⚫
| Weaknesses = '''R.T. node Dependence''': The [[Arc Reactor|Repulsor Tech node]] implanted in Stark's chest has the basic machine codes to keep Stark's Extremis-modified body working. So it needs to be in constant connection with him.
  +
  ⚫
'''Alcoholism''': Tony has been battling against his alcoholism due to the high pressures of running his industrial company, maintaining his social profile, and being Iron Man. More recently, he started to drinking again when, because of the Serpent arrival on earth, he believed it was the apocalypse.

'''Constant Recharge''': Due to the shrapnel in his body, Iron Man must keep his suit charged at all times, often involving breaking away from a fight to recharge otherwise he would die. Although the shrapnel was later removed eliminating this weakness.
  +
  ⚫
'''Memory Problems''': Due to his recent memory deletion and the procedure that restored him, Tony Stark can no longer remember certain points of his life and the simplest things like how to tie a tie due to the process's side-effects being greater than it was initially predicted.

| Equipment = *'''[[Iron Man Armor|Armors]]''': Iron Man wears a sophisticated suit of body armor containing various offensive weaponry. He has a [[Iron Man (Anthony "Tony" Stark)/Technology|number of suits]] aside from the current model. Some are mission-specific or prototypes for testing, others are older models kept for nostalgia or for research. He has developed a special [[Iron Man's Briefcase|briefcase]] to carry his armor in. A few models are too big for the case and require a separate module. As the multi-billionaire head of a global corporation and a genius-level inventor, Stark can procure or develop additional technology as needed as possible.<!-- removed the outdated reference to SHIELD and DOD -->

*'''''Superhuman Strength''''': He is capable of lifting up to 100 tons when wearing his armor and can achieve higher levels of strength when powered by a sufficiently more powerful source. When She-Hulk got into a major frenzy, Tony was able to put her down in one punch.{{r|Avengers Vol 1 500}} His exact strength heavily depends on which armor he is currently wearing.

*'''''Override''''': When required, armor systems including strength amplification, durability amplification, and repulsor intensity can be greatly increased, by bypassing safety circuits and limiters. However, there is a chance that this can result in a complete system failure of the armor. An example of this mode is when Iron Man easily lifted a 16,000 ton Nuclear Reactor, and flew into the sky and threw it into the sea. It seems that he utilized this resource on the Hulk once, as the armor ends up completely inert.{{r|Iron Man #132}} The range of the Override can be controlled as only reaching his very limit and staying at it for a long time will cause a system failure. This range goes from a safe 800% to 3200%, up to a very dangerous 5000%.

'''Crystallized Iron Armor''': The armor has evolved from a bulky iron suit to a highly complex matrix of molecularly-aligned fully crystallized ultra high carbon iron/steel hybrid alloy enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other ultra hyper alloys like titanium alloy and or tungsten/vanadium alloys reinforced with carbon nano-tubes creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of amazingly high resilience and protection.

*'''''[[Glossary:Repulsor|Repulsor Rays]]''''': The armor's primary energy weapon. A particle beam weapon, standard equipment in the palm gauntlets; can repel physical and energy-based attacks, traveling as a single stream or as a wide-field dispersal. Beams possess penetrative strength ranging from effortlessly punching through 2 inches of steel to blasting a hole through a mountain. Power output can be adjust for larger beam or an omnidirectional, full-form repulsor blast. Power output can be adjusted to fire beams generating 2 gigawatts (like the Mark 3) to the beams in the high petawatt region, as seen with the Mark 27 (with assistance from outside sources). The latest version, the Mark IVa, was introduced with the [[Iron Man Armor Model 42]], featuring a red color.

| Abilities ='''Super-Genius Class Intelligence:''' Quite apart from the powers granted him by the suit, Tony Stark is far more than a mechanical engineering prodigy who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with honors at the age of 17<ref>Iron Man: The Legend (1996)</ref>.
  
−  
⚫
With an intelligence classed as super-genius,{{r|Avengers: Roll Call #1}} he easily is one of the smartest people on Earth. Furthermore, this extends to his remarkable ingenuity dealing with difficult situations such as difficult foes and deathtraps where he is capable of using his available tools, like his suit, in unorthodox and effective ways, as an example: when he built the first [[Iron Man Armor MK I|Iron Man Armor]] in captivity.{{r|Tales of Suspense #39}} He has also been able to hack even technology from the aliens [[Kree]], a race centuries more advanced than humans.<ref>Operation: Galactic Storm</ref>
  
−  
⚫
Tony is known as a "futurist". He has stated that the way his mind works he can intuit the future, even being able to foreshadow that a situation similar to the [[Civil War|superhuman Civil War]] was going to happen, years before it did.{{r|New Avengers Illuminati Vol 1 1}}
  
−  
⚫
More recently, Stark's intelligence grew to super-human levels with more energy being emanated to his brain thanks to the [[Arc Reactor|R.T. node]] in his chest, levels which even left [[Reed Richards (Earth-616)|Mr. Fantastic]] amazed.{{r|Invincible Iron Man #25}}
  
−  
⚫
Stark can use his superior intellect to the levels of dividing his consciousness with the help of [[Stark Datashades|equipment]] and perfectly operate three portions of his consciousness at the same time, being able to move, fight, talk and process information in three different bodies at the same time.{{r|Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic #7}} Tony has been mentioned by Reed Richard to be the world's best multitasker.{{r|Avengers Vol 5 43}}

⚫
[[File:Iron Man Vol 5 1 Hastings Variant Textless.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Stark using his vast intellect to create multiple Iron Man Armors at the same time.]]
  
⚫
'''Expert Engineer:''' He is an excellent engineer and mechanic capable of fixing almost any, if not all machinery.
  
−  
⚫
'''Expert Businessman:''' Stark is extremely well-respected in the business world, able to command people's attentions when he speaks on economic matters by virtue of the fact that he is savvy enough to have, over the years, built up several multimillion dollar companies from virtually nothing. He is known for the loyalty he commands from and returns to those who work for him, as well as his impeccable business ethics. He also strives to be environmentally responsible in his businesses, and in one case, immediately fired an employee who made profitable (but illegal) sales to Doctor Doom. He states that if he wanted to, he could give away his entire fortune and build it up again within a week.
  
−  
⚫
'''Expert Tactician:''' He is a brilliant tactician capable of quickly formulating battle strategies and new plans if the situation changes, like being able to elaborate different complex plans in order to defeat different enemies in difficult situations,{{r|Invincible Iron Man #4}}{{r|Invincible Iron Man #516}} and be victorious. Even going as far as to simultaneously put Reed Richards in check on five different boards playing chess, a game he didn't learn until later in his life, leaving Richards totally astonished.{{r|Invincible Iron Man #4}}
  
−  
⚫
'''Skilled Combatant:''' Stark was trained in unarmed combat by Captain America, Black Widow, Black Panther and Shang-Chi{{r|Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic #12}} and has become quite physically formidable on his own when the situation demands it. He has managed to fight trained [[Hammer Industries (Earth-616)|Hammer Industries]] guards,{{r|Iron Man #125}} defeat five trained [[Skrull]] soldiers in single-handed combat,{{r|New Avengers Illuminati Vol 2 1}} trained Stark Industries security guards{{r|Iron Man vs. Whiplash #3}} and numerous [[Voldi]] gladiators.{{r|Iron Man Vol 5 7}}

'''Slightly-Trained Acrobat:''' Through his training, Stark has learned to increase his agility and perform acrobatics, which even though don't reach levels of people like [[Steven Rogers (Earth-616)|Captain America]], are superior to the average human.{{r|Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic #5}}
  
−  
⚫
'''Indomitable Will:''' As evidenced by his two serious bouts with alcoholism and subsequent recovery, Stark is possessed of tremendous strength of will, never giving up and often emerging from defeat even stronger. It is arguable that the true "Iron Man" is not the armor, but Stark himself.
  
−  
⚫
'''Multilingual:''' Apart from English, Tony can speak different languages, including Japanese,{{r|Avengers: Millennium Infinite Comic Vol 1 2}} and Russian.{{r|Iron Man/Thor Vol 1 1}}
  
−  
⚫
| Strength = Without his armor Tony Stark possesses a strength a little superior than that of a normal human, he also engages in moderate regular exercise. The armor amplifies Stark's strength to incalculable levels, enabling him to normally lift (press) roughly [[Strength Scale#100 Tons|100 tons]]. If sufficiently powered by an outside source, the armor can achieve massively higher levels.
  
−  
⚫
| Weaknesses = '''R.T. node Dependence''': The [[Arc Reactor|Repulsor Tech node]] implanted in Stark's chest has the basic machine codes to keep Stark's Extremis-modified body working. So it needs to be in constant connection with him.
  
−  
⚫
'''Alcoholism''': Tony has been battling against his alcoholism due to the high pressures of running his industrial company, maintaining his social profile, and being Iron Man. More recently, he started to drinking again when, because of the Serpent arrival on earth, he believed it was the apocalypse.

'''Constant Recharge''': Due to the shrapnel in his body, Iron Man must keep his suit charged at all times, often involving breaking away from a fight to recharge otherwise he would die. Although the shrapnel was later removed eliminating this weakness.
  
−  
⚫
'''Memory Problems''': Due to his recent memory deletion and the procedure that restored him, Tony Stark can no longer remember certain points of his life and the simplest things like how to tie a tie due to the process's side-effects being greater than it was initially predicted.

| Equipment = *'''[[Iron Man Armor|Armors]]''': Iron Man wears a sophisticated suit of body armor containing various offensive weaponry. He has a [[Iron Man (Anthony "Tony" Stark)/Technology|number of suits]] aside from the current model. Some are mission-specific or prototypes for testing, others are older models kept for nostalgia or for research. He has developed a special [[Iron Man's Briefcase|briefcase]] to carry his armor in. A few models are too big for the case and require a separate module. As the multi-billionaire head of a global corporation, director of a global law enforcement/espionage agency, and a genius-level inventor, Stark can procure or develop additional technology as needed as possible.
