Tony Stark/Iron Man

Tony Stark was born in May 29th, 1970. He is one of the Avengers. He was born to Maria and Howard Stark, who is well known for helping in the creation of Captain America. He took over his father's company when his father died, and controls Stark Industries, which supplies weapons to the American military. Once out in the field, one of his bombs go off near him, and the shrapnel gets caught in his chest. He is caught by some terrorists who are holding him for ransom. In order to stay alive, he creates an artifical heart that stops the shrapnel from killing him. Using the same type of supplies, he creates a suit of armour that allows him to escape from the terrorists keeping him hostage and return to the American military. Once he returns home safely, he builds a better suit (because he has better resources) and becomes Iron Man. He is played by Robert Downey Jr.
