Iron Man is the name of a fictional character as well as a series of comic book titles about said character published by Marvel Comics. Iron Man is the code name used by a costumed superhero whose real name is Anthony "Tony" Stark, a billionaire playboy who invents an extraordinary suit of armor capable of independent flight, enhanced durability and various onboard offensive weaponry. The character has showcased several volumes of his own comic book title and has played a major role in other titles such as the Avengers and Force Works. He has also appeared in several animated television projects as well as two feature length films and is one of the main characters in the 2012 film The Avengers.

Tony Stark is the epitome of the classic spoiled rich kid. He is one of the wealthiest men in the world, and as such, has the arrogance, poise, charm and aloofness befitting a man of his station. He is outspoken, gregarious and fun and even a bit of a womanizer, but when it comes to matters of running a multi-billion dollar corporation or maintaining the security of the free world - he is all business.

Tony Stark was not born a superhero however. His best virtues developed through conscience choice and happenstance. At his best he could be considered opportunistic and at his worst, a drunk and a war profiteer. Like many men in positions of power, Tony has fallen victim to his vices - in his case - alcoholism. Though he has fallen off the wagon several times, Tony has always found the fortitude to overcome his addiction with the help of his closest friends.
