Personality: Tony is a man of many complexities that at times almost seem at odds with each other. He claims to not be sentimental, however the three robots in his movies were built while he was in college and he has always kept them with him. He is impulsive and vain, yet can muster a great deal of foresight and strategy, and is really not afraid to get his hands dirty. Not only that, but as someone who is seen by the world as a play boy, he has a deep sense of romance within himself that few get to see.
Tony Stark is a quick-witted genius, who near compulsively talks over other people in order to justify his own thoughts. While he is also able to come off as rather unflappable and cool headed, most all of Tony’s expressions come straight from his eyes and eyebrows. Once his mind is made up on something his eyes will show it, and if you can see it in his eyes then there is very little point in attempting to dissuade him.
He is also a man of great depth and emotion, however it is all greatly internalised. When learning about the crimes being committed by the 10 rings in Golmera, Tony is furious but very little of it comes to the surface, at most the only thing that truly shows this is the hard expression he wears and his repulsor assault on his windows. Because for Tony, a great deal of his life is based on what he can control of it. Which is shown time and again, when Tony has no control over what is happening around him he can become erratic in his movements has he fights to get back on top of the situation, or he will become self-destructive.
His erratic behaviour is shown in the first movie when he is presented with the events of Golmera, where he take his frustration out on his shop then heads straight to the middle eastern town in his newly machined Mark III armour and takes out all of the insurgents, without telling anyone or any actual training in any way including basic self-defence, Just his relatively untested suit.
Self-destructive behaviour is shown in the second movie when the repeated use of his Iron man armour starts to cause accelerated palladium poisoning, and without a suitable element which at the time couldn’t be found, he would die. Which after a few failed attempts to let those close to him know due to how hard it is for him to express his feelings lead him to become more reckless with his life than usual causing him to become a bigger grandstander, wasting more money than needed and becoming dangerously drunk drastically pushing away Rhodie and Pepper from him.
Even though Tony has been born into money and can be over the top frivolous with it, he is also exceedingly generous with it, with his money going to his own charities like the (Maria*) Stark foundation, and the Boy Scouts of America. Even going so far as to run the Stark Expo for an entire year in order for up and comers the chance to show case their work in order to get additional funding from those attending the expo or just to show off what it on the horizon.
Tony’s genius is currently unparalleled; the only person who rivalled him was his father who died roughly 30 years ago, while Tony was 15. Which is shown in his history with robots, his creating of JARVIS, not to mention his adapting his father’s arc reactor and being able to design a personal full body prosthesis that can achieve flight, is completely self-pressurised and contains an internal waste filtration system, also known as the Iron Man armour.
He is the biggest promoter of his external persona of the ‘Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist’ and while all these things about him are true, he will always play up to it in public, that being said, however, he is loyal to those he considers to be his in various way, and is very protective of them in his own ways. When he was lead to believe that Agent Phil Coulson was dead, it was the moment that Tony had decided that Loki had taken it too far and had made it his mission to make sure that Loki didn’t get away with what he had done, even going so far to tell Loki that not only had his made enemies of all those within the Avengers (While interestingly enough, leaving himself completely out of the equation), that he had also pissed of Phil Coulson.
Before his kidnapping, Tony was never concerned about accountability, but once seeing the effects that his weapons had on the innocent, he became very aware that everything you do has consequences and you should be held responsible for it. To that end when something happened Tony took it upon himself to correct what had happened, from Obadiah Stane becoming the Iron Monger, Ivan Vanko wanting revenge for his wronged father, Justin Hammer’s desperate need to show Tony up with inferior products, even so far as to take on some of the responsibility for Loki’s rampage. Each time he put his life on the line to correct these problems, believing that as long as the correct outcome was achieved his life was negligible. However he would always put his life on the line when he couldn’t formulate any other plan of action. Not one to lay down on the wire himself, but cut the wire, proving that Tony would rather lose no lives, than lose one heroic one.
Due to his father being almost cruelly distant, and his mother barely being mentioned, it is obvious as to why Tony has a hard time being a part of team situations, or even trusting other on a basic level. It is even shown that the only people he will be ‘real’ with are Pepper, Rhodie and to a certain extent Happy. But even then the moment things would get to a certain level of real he would immediately pull back or say something that he knew would cause distance. This is most obviously shown in the first half of Iron Man II. It was only when confronted with a challenge far too big for him to handle on his own that he was actually open to the idea of not only being part of a team, but being in a position that wasn’t the direct leader. However he does seem to stand somewhere between co-leader to Steve Rogers (Captain America) and second in command as the others are more likely to take orders from him than give order to him. For a man like Tony Stark this is probably one of his biggest steps in personal development.
With the events of IM3 behind him. Tony has whipped the slate clean, he has had his reactor and the remaining shrapnel removed from his body, which has left a scar on his chest that still receives Tony’s absent minded tapping, and has since started working on new Iron Man suits that work with their own chest pieces. He has also realised how his previously arrogant ways have managed to effect those that he has previously disregarded in his live, which has further humbled his personality when out of the limelight.
*While it is stated the Tony started the Maria Stark foundation in supplemental data within MCU it is only referred to in the movies as anything more than the Stark Foundation.
Background: MCU history of Tony Stark
Abilities: Tony is a born genius, and has accomplished many great things with that genius in his 48 years of life. From building his own circuit board at four years old to enhancing and miniaturising his father’s original arc reactor design to make it not only work, but support an electro-magnet living within his chest (at least until he had it removed very recently). He even build a particle accelerator in his workshop in order to help physically realise an element his father theorised, which he is in the process of trying to get named ‘Badassium’
There is very little that Tony stark cannot build or design, he even goes to the trouble of designing programs for hacking into specific places just to find out the information being held within. To this end, there is very little that Tony can’t do with the resources he has on hand.
Due to his genius and design ability he is also amazingly creative when he wants or needs to be. The main example of this being the Mark I Iron Man suit and Mark I miniaturised Arc Reactor, as they were developed in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan by retasking the weapons his captors bought from his own company under the table and anything else they brought for him, thinking he was building them more weapons. It’s shown again in IM3, with his home destroyed the only accessible suit having no power and his being thought dead, Tony slips into a hardware store buying several trollies worth of items and then creating himself a mini arsenal to use to get into the Mandarin’s compound, including a stun glove and explosive Christmas baubles.
He’s also a business man and public figure, he knows what deals to make, when to turn on the charm or turn it off, and is skilled at turning things into his favour.
First Person:
[When the feed comes on, Tony is sitting at a chair. He obviously has the camera resting on a table in front of him. He looks lost in thought and is looking off to the top right of the camera in the middle distance, it looks like he's been thinking very hard. After a few moments he licks his lips slowly.]
So, it looks like that I'm not as prepared for everything as I think.
I've made mistakes here. But that's not really new, I've always been a bit of a mess so really that's a statement that shouldn't really surprise anyone, I've never really been perfect, my track record alone really shows that, and even all my character defaults...
[He runs his hand over his lower jaw. while he takes a breath, realising he was going off track.]
I haven't been taking this place seriously. And it nearly cost someone their life, because I wasn't fast enough. So what I'm trying to say here is that. Well, I have to try harder, this.
[He fidgets with his hands]
This isn't a holiday, or a resort, so tell me... What's the best way to take on the gym leaders around here?
[Tony's been trying to post this for days, there have been a few moments where he's started recording only to turn it off again. So he's feeling kind of proud he was able to be more him than his persona to the public for once.]
Third Person:
Tony sat on the end of the bed, his elbows resting on his knees as his head was cradled in his hands. He watches himself in the mirror.
All this talk of Queens and people living on the other side of the mirror. Seemed strange, not impossible or unlikely. After all. Tony had seen a great many things that were a lot less believable than where ever he was now. However it didn’t make it any less strange. So here Tony sat. Staring at his apparent reflection, wondering how he could figure out the world on the other side.
Standing, Tony crossed the palatial room that he had chosen, to stand in front of the mirror. He held his chin between his thumb and forefinger thoughtfully, his eyes searching his own for a hit of being more than it appeared. He tapped the glass, watching as his reflection mimicked him.
“JARVIS, can you run me a diag-...”
Tony turned to look at his suit that stood in the corner quietly. Right now, the suit was the only place that JARVIS could live. So really. This whole different world in the mirrors could wait.
He needed to get JARVIS a proper computer to upload to, he was is right hand program after all. And really, with the characters he found here, including those from the Avengers who were also here. He was going to need JARVIS to keep him from doing something stupider than normal, besides Tony was at his happiest when he was completely lost in building something.
