Iron Man
In Iron Man, Tony is the son of billionaire weapons manufacturer Howard Stark and the owner of Stark Industries, his father's weapons company. At first Tony was arrogant and selfish, but after being captured by terrorists he built a giant mechanical suit to escape from a prison cave. Because of this, his eyes were opened after the death of his friend Yensen and he saw first hand where his weapons were going, he ordered Stark Industries to discontinue weapons manufacture, much to the dismay of his friends. Meanwhile, along with the aid of his supercomputer J.A.R.V.I.S. or Just A Rather Very Intelligent System, Tony built in secret a perfected Mark II of the Iron Man suit he used to escape the cave. He tested this, built a Mark III and painted this red and gold. After defeating his business partner, Obadiah Stane who had struck a deal with the terrorists and rebuilt the original Mark I as Iron Monger, he revealed himself to the world as Iron Man. Nick Fury, commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., then approached him and asked him to join the Avengers in the future, but Stark declined.
Iron Man 2
In Iron Man 2, Tony is protecting the Iron Man suits from the government and builds three more marks of the suit. His father left behind for him the technology to build the triangular chestpiece because he is dying from the Paladium poisoning caused by his old chestpiece. During all of this, he battled against robotic engineer Ivan Vanko/Whiplash with his friend James Rhodes (who stole the Mark II metal suit, painted it black and added several weapons) who became fellow hero War Machine, and the assistance of Nick Fury and Black Widow. He was approached by Nick Fury for a third time and was disqualified for the Avengers, but was asked to stay on as technical support and Tony declined.
The Avengers
In The Avengers, he eventually is recruited into the Avengers, which also consists of Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye, to help stop Loki and his Chitauri army from taking over the Earth.
When wearing his suit, Tony has the ability to shoot charged laser blasts out of his gauntlets and fire mini-missiles. By connecting with his home computer J.A.R.V.I.S., the suit allows him to fly via rocket boosters in his feet.
Notes
- His preliminary face at Comic Con was the same as Jack Sparrow's cursed variation.
- He has three different variations, and each is currently exclusive to one set.
- His preliminary face at the NY Toy Fair was Bruce Wayne's old face.
- The mask doesn't flip open like it does in the films. In the films, the chin stays put and the face pivots up.
- There are different variations of him in the two LEGO movie posters, one has his helmet with the visor up, and the other has the hair of the Weight Lifter minifigure.
- On preliminary box images that appeared at the Toy Fair, Iron Man's helmet was shown printed onto a standard minifigure head, which suggests that this was an original concept for the Iron Man minifigure.
- It has been confirmed that LEGO will make sets based off the 2013 movie Iron Man 3.
