Job: Stark is the CEO of Stark Industries, executive director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a well-known member of the super-hero group known as the Avengers.
Powers: Stark has added multiple adjustments and upgrades to the Iron Man suit, even making several variations of the suit. Some of the weapons that have been found on his original and most well-known suit include:
Repulsors- these are on the palms of his suit and are used both for flight stabilization, but also for concussive blasts.
Unibeam- the central light on the chest of the Iron Man suit fires various types of light energy that can arguably be called the most powerful weapon of Tony's repertoire.
Lasers- beams that are fired out of the palms of the Iron Man suit.
Magnetism- against those metal bad guys who are such a pain.
Pulse Bolts- concussive force blasts from the palm repulsors that pick up kinetic energy along the way so that they hit harder the farther they have to travel.
Energy Shield- aided protection against projectiles and harmful objects.
Shoulder Launchers- miniature weapons that fire bullets. These launchers can be concealed in the shoulders of the suit. They are linked to the suit's targeting system, so each launcher can fire independently at different targets.
Wrist Missile Launchers- on the wrists of the suit are easily-concealed missile launchers. These fire small high-velocity explosives that inflict great physical damage and can destroy tanks with one shot.

Personality: Tony Stark spent much of his life deliberately cultivating an image of himself as an irresponsible playboy rich man, spending his time at the most exclusive parties and restaurants, jet-setting around the world in one of his several private aircraft, taking long trips on his yacht with perhaps a score of beautiful young women, drinking to excess and beyond, and generally behaving like exactly the sort of person who would NOT take up the mantle of a hero and continually put his life on the line for his country and his ideals. .
In truth, however, while Tony is far from above the enjoyment of such things, and truly is a great fan of parties and all manner of beautiful women, he is also a deeply committed man with strong morals, who would gladly put his life on the line to protect the innocent from any threat. He takes his responsibility both as a business owner and as a hero, and strives to keep his business ventures responsible, environmentally as well as legally and morally.
Despite all this, he can be something of a pervert and he has battled alcoholism for much of his life, but in his persistence he has always recovered from any downfall, no matter how severe, usually coming back even stronger than before. Still, his multiple falls from grace and the many scandals surrounding both his true name and his persona as Iron Man have left him somewhat jaded, and saying he is scarred by his past would be a drastic understatement.
All throughout his life, Tony has been a prodigious inventor with a knack for the mechanical. The Iron Man suit is the pinnacle of his technological prowess. Tony has a wonderful sense of humor, and enjoys being with his friends. When duty calls however, Tony can be as cold and as heartless as the suit he wears; both when meting out justice or defending it. Due to Tony's personality and power, he has bedded many woman, although there seems to be something more than desire in his interactions with his secretary Ms. Pepper Potts.

History: Anthony Stark, son of industrialist and inventor Howard Stark, demonstrated his mechanical aptitude and extraordinary inventive genius at a very early age, enrolling in the undergraduate electrical engineering program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 15. Sometime between then, Tony's parents died in a car crash. When he was 21, he inherited his father's business, Stark Industries, and within a few years turned it into a multi-million dollar industry complex whose chief contracts were for weaponry and munitions for the U.S. government.
Tony later went to Afghanistan in order to influence the U.S. military to buy the Jericho missile system. Refusing advice from his friend James Rhodes, Tony chose to ride in a Humvee convoy that was attacked by a terrorist militia: The Ten Rings. In the attack, shrapnel embedded itself in Tony's chest and a makeshift magnetron was surgically placed within his chest to prevent the shrapnel from killing him. Within a few days, Tony quickly befriended another captive; Dr. Ho Yinsen, the man who saved Tony's life.
For months they pretended to build a Jericho missile under the watchful eye of the terrorists, but in reality, they built a new magnetron that wasn't powered by a car battery, and a working prototype of the Iron Man suit. After months, the time to escape came, and Dr. Yinsen died in the attempt. However Tony, within the suit, escaped with great success, completely destroying the camp.
Tony was rescued by none other than Rhodes, and Tony returned to the U.S. He announced his plans to stop manufacturing weapons and set about building a much more complex and hi-tech suit, which ended with resounding success. Now with the DC-Marvel Universe crossover, Iron Man has taken his stand with the side of good, and will aid his allies in whatever capacity it takes to defeat evil.
Role Play Sample: He was slightly amused by the fact that she seemed to want to help him button his shirt. He hadn't had anyone assist him in dressing in quite a long time, but he appreciated the gesture. It was getting harder and harder for him to leave. He didn't want to go and her words only enhanced that feeling. However, he knew that his absence would be noticed if he tarried much longer. He wanted to push these thoughts as far away from him as possible, but he couldn't.
He'd procrastinated for quite some time as it was, and he needed his job. It was his way of proving his independence, if only proving it to himself. His father had left him money and work wasn't a do or die thing. It was more of an escape into normalcy. If he could convince himself that he was just like everyone else, it would do him some good in the long run.
"I'm thinking about you and how badly I want to stay. Everything here is perfect, you are perfect, and to top it all off, I don't know when I'll see you again." He was being as straightforward as he could be. Everything seemed so easy around her and now he had to return to the real world where nothing made any sense. It wasn't as though he would never have any free time to see her again, but he didn't carry around his work schedule as it varied from week to week. "As much as I hate the idea, I will have to get going.
If I don't, they'll have my job and that won't be any fun." He could have kicked himself for not blowing it off. He could easily get a job at another apothecary, but there wasn't much room for advancement there. He looked at her, a small, sad smile creeping onto his lips. He loved her, and now he was going to have to leave her. It wouldn't be forever, but that didn't occur to him. He stood up and brushed himself off. He was definitely going to have to change before work, he just hoped he'd have enough time.
