Iron Man (real name Anthony "Tony" Stark) is a character in the Marvel universe who first appeared in the comic titled Tales of Suspense #39. He is a billionaire who happens to be the richest hero in the Marvel universe. He's known for putting on his red and gold plated suit which allows him to perform multiple abilities that he is other wise unable to do.
He has also appeared in multiple video games, including but not limited to Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse, and even an unlockable, playable character in Tony Hawk's Underground.
Captain America and the Avengers[]
Iron Man appeared in this game as one of the four playable characters (the others including Captain America, the Vision, and Hawkeye). His health stat is 155, the highest of all the playable characters.

Iron Man is a playable character in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and will appear in multiple of the in-game movies (sadly, however, no-CGI ones). His costumes include -
- New Avenger costume (His current costume which can be seen in the New Avengers comic series)
- Classic costume (while not the original silver costume, it is the original red and yellow one)
- War Machine (Probably the most notable unlockable costume, seeing as it's a completely different character)
- Ultimate costume (from the alternate Marvel universe)
X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse[]
Iron Man surprisingly is a playable character in X-Men Legends II, and is the only non X-Men character who is playable. He's unlockable, and can arguably be considered one of the best characters in terms of fighting abilities and so on in the game.
To unlock him, you must find the four homing beacons in all the acts.
Tony Hawk's Underground[]
Even more surprising than his appearance in the game above is his appearance as a playable character in Tony Hawk's Underground, where he can be unlocked once you beat the game on any difficulty mode. His stats are perfect, and he rides on a red/yellow hover-board to match his suit. He has two special tricks, which include the Scanner and the Boost Burst.
