Background

IC Events

Traits

Powers

• Super Smart: Even without his suit, Tony's a formidable man in intellect alone. He was building gadgets since he was in the single digits, and he graduated summa cum laude from MIT at age seventeen. His intelligence is right up there in the upper limits of human ability.

Skills

• Science & Tech: Tony's among the best of the best in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. Not only does he understand the latest cutting-edge tech, he's invented his fair share of it. Some of his work is years ahead of its time, pushing the boundaries of what the 1960s has to offer.
• Business Savvy: In addition to making cool toys, Tony knows how to sell it. He's the head of his own corporation, and it's doing quite nicely.
• Socialite: Tony knows how to be a professional all-star partier. He knows which events to show up at, who to rub elbows with, and how to behave as the occasion requires. He doesn't always choose do so, but at least he knows what rules he's breaking.
• Playboy: Maybe it's the money, the mind, or the looks but Tony has a way with the ladies. Sure, they may hate him later, but in the moment, he can be charming enough to talk the habit off a nun.
• Reflexes: Tony has a need for speed, and part of his thrill-junkie personality involves souping up his fancy cars and driving them fast. Not only does he have mad driving skills, but his quick reflexes have been increased and refined through the operation of his super suit. It takes a lot of balance to fly with his hands and feet.
• Self-defense: Even without the suit on, Tony still knows the moves he uses to fight in it, and in hand to hand combat, he's not exactly a damsel in distress. Besides, he's learned the hard way he can't always rely on the suit to be there.

Advantages

• Wealth: Tony grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and is a multi-millionaire. He's got it all. Houses, fast cars, a private plane, and of course the resourcess needed to build his nifty toys.
• Stark Industries: Tony's corporation dabbles in cutting edge technology from different walks of life, but its focus is mostly on military contracts for the United States of America. It's not all weapons manufacturing. He also has a hand in surveillance and counter-intelligence tech as well. Beat those commies!
• The Suit: Tony Stark's suit has and/or conveys the following qualities:
• - Super Strength: Tony gains incredible strength from the suit, able to lift up cars, trucks, heavy objects and debris. He also has impressive destructive power.
• - Flight: Tony has his repulsors on his hand gauntlets, his boots, which allows him to achieve flight, including higher parts of the atmosphere. He can also achieve a speeds of 200-400 mph.
• - Super Durability: The suit conveys a the toughness of a powerful suit of armor. While Tony is in the suit, he can take one hell of a beating and walk away unscathed.
• - Firepower: The suit possesses some of the best mountable weaponry of the era, tweaked by one of the era's greatest minds. It's got optical sighting, thermographic imaging, bullets, and flame-throwing capability. There are even tranquilizing darts just in case the target's supposed to survive.
• JARVIS: His mansion in New York City has a state of the art security system he designed himself. JARVIS accesses the doors and windows, able to engage locks and bars to drop down in the case of a home invasion. The system is wired throughout the house and can be accessed via voice commands spoken by Tony (it's calibrated to his voice and his only). Jarvis can also do mundane tasks like make a note of Tony's appointments, remind him of them, place phone calls, play music, and other such conveniences. JARVIS 'lives' in a supercomputer of Tony's design. It's an impressive piece of machinery, taking up a good portion of the room its housed in.

Flaws

• Ego: The problem with being the very best is knowing you're the very best. Tony's smart and he knows it. He's talented and he knows it. He's got a way with people and he knows it. Everything seems to come easily to him, and as a result he's confident to the point of having a big blind spot when it comes to the idea that Tony Might Fail. Then, should he fail, his ego gets stung, and that throws him further into drinking and other self-destructive behavior.
• Alcholism: Tony self-medicates with alcohol, which is, as a wise man once said, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems. Seriously, though, he could stand to lay off the sauce and face his issues.
• Issues: Being in a league of his own intellect-wise has left Tony feeling isolated most of his life Despite him being great with people, there's a hole inside him that he just can't fill with them no matter how hard he tries. That constant need to be seen and approved of by the people he cares about drives him to do great things when times are good, but it also sends him spiraling out of control when times get bad.
• Self-Destructive: It's not just the alcohol. When Tony spirals, he loses a certain amount of his sense of self-preservation. He turns to fast cars, meaningless liaisons, breaking social rules to lean hard on a badboy image and maybe burn a few bridges while he's at it.
