About
Professional Summary
I am Tony Stark. You know who I am. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist — in that order, though the philanthropist part has been moving up the list lately. I built my first circuit board at age 4. I graduated MIT summa cum laude at 17. I inherited Stark Industries, turned it from a weapons manufacturer into the world's leading clean energy company, invented a new element before lunch one Tuesday, and co-founded a little team called the Avengers. I also built a fully functional suit of powered armor in a cave. With a box of scraps. I'm not saying I'm the smartest person in any room I walk into. Actually, yes I am. I'm saying exactly that. Available for consulting, board positions, and saving the world — in that order.

What Others Say
"Tony is the most brilliant person I have ever met. He is also the most infuriating. He redesigned our entire clean energy division on a napkin during a board meeting. He then used the napkin to clean up spilled coffee because he wasn't paying attention to the meeting. He has saved the world multiple times. He has also nearly destroyed it twice. The ratio is favorable, but the margin is thinner than I'd like. As a professional reference: hire him if you want innovation. Just assign someone to handle... everything else."
Pepper Potts
CEO, Stark Industries / Spouse / The Actual Responsible One
"Tony Stark is my best friend. He is also the single most difficult person to be friends with on the planet. He gave me a suit of powered armor. He also hacked it remotely during a mission because he 'had a better idea.' He has genius-level intellect and the emotional maturity of a very gifted 14-year-old. But when it counts — and I mean when it REALLY counts — there is nobody I'd rather have beside me. He will figure it out. He always figures it out. Usually at the last possible second. Usually while making a joke."
James "Rhodey" Rhodes
Colonel, U.S. Air Force / War Machine Pilot / Best Friend
"Tony is the only person I've ever met whose intellect genuinely keeps pace with mine. In some areas, he exceeds it. He won't admit that I'm better in others, but that's fine — I have 7 PhDs and a significant anger management advantage. Working with Tony in the lab is exhilarating. He thinks in three dimensions while building in four. His weakness is that he can't stop. He will optimize past the point of optimization. He will improve things that don't need improving. He created Ultron because he couldn't leave well enough alone. But he also created Vision. And the suit. And JARVIS. The man is a net positive for humanity, even when the margin is uncomfortably close."
Dr. Bruce Banner
Physicist / Avenger / The Other Guy
