Name: Tony Stark (Iron Man)
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: A self absorbed egotist. He's a genius and he knows it, and wants everyone else to know it too. Most of what he does is either to test himself, improve himself, or prove his superiority. A self described "genius, playboy, Philanthropist", he helps people for both the fame and glory, but also because he doesn't like bullies hurting other people just to get their way.
Brief History: Born to a Howard and Maria Stark on May 29, 1970, he grew up wealthy, attending the best schools. He distinguished himself several times in various contests as a teenager, and even hacked the Pentagon on a dare.
When he was 21, after graduating MIT, his parent were killed in a car crash and he took over his father's company. With his leadership, they became one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the world.
In his early thirties, though, he was kidnapped by terrorists, who ordered him to build a weapon for them. He built an early version of the reactor to power an electromagnet that keeps shrapnel out of his heart, and instead of the missiles they wanted, build a powered exoskeleton to fight them.
After escaping, he returned to the US where he improved on the technology, streamlining it and replacing the reactor with one that was much less crude. His "Iron Man" suit became a media sensation when, during a weapons test, he took out some terrorists that were attacking a small village. While the government asked him to keep his identity a secret, his ego wouldn't let him, and he told the world that he was Iron Man.
He joined a team called "the Avengers" and protected Earth from an alien invasion as well as a runaway AI, making multiple upgrades to the armor and reactor in that time. He even discovered how to make a non-toxic crystalline synthetic material that works much better than the original Palladium fuel the reactor originally used.
One day he was in his lab, experimenting with inter-dimensional travel, when there was a flash and he was standing on the streets in New York City. Luckily, he had his armor on at the time.
Universe of Origin: Marvel
Equipment: Iron Man Mark 33 Armor, Cell Phone (no service, but with a wifi connection he can still use it to contact his armor), Suit recall bracelet (push the button and it flies to you), Arc reactor implant (in his chest. Max output of 10 megawatts for about two hours.), His wallet ($320 dollars cash, and the credit/debit cards don't work. But he does have a card for a free sub at subway, so that's good.)
Abilities: Genius IQ: about 190
Doctorates from MIT in electrical and mechanical engineering
Basic hand to hand combat
Mark 33 armor: Titanium alloy plate, capable of withstanding the main gun from a light tank.
Chest beam: Can put entire output of the reactor into a blast of plasma.
Hand blasters: Can shoot blasts or beams of plasma capable of melting through light tank armor.
Flight: The suit enables him to fly by using the thrusters in his hands, feet, and on his back. The hand blasters are just an alternate use for the hand thrusters.
Super strength: Allows him to lift and throw several tons.
Laser emitter: A laser in his forearm that can produce a beam capable of cutting through heavy armor. Can use most of the reactor's output, and needs it to cut through heavy armor.
Jarvis: A stripped down version of his home's AI, it can fly the suit, perform diagnostics, design machines based on Tony's directions, and interface with other computers, even controlling their attached devices. He can also be copied into other computers to give him a new body to work with.
Other: He doesn't like the fact that he is poor again, but he's been in a similar situation before.
