Iron Man | The Armored Avenger

Iron Man, real name Tony Stark, is a Marvel superhero and comic book star. Well known these days from recent films, he's popular for good reason - a capitalist with a heart of... well, various rare elements, actually. But he's one of the good guys, famous in the Marvel universe for funding and housing The Avengers, as well as being a core member of the group, and often going off on his own adventures to save the world from evil.

More than that, Iron Man is as much about the man inside the armor as it is about heroic exploits and really cool gadgets. He's complex, sarcastic, and really, really smart. If you don't know him yet, you're about to, and if you do know him, you're about to get to know him a whole lot better.
