Childhood

He was very much fascinated by the games, their rules and the way they are represented. So he started doing experiments with making games.

He earned two college degrees one in physics and one in engineering but was still not satisfied by this. He found all these degrees very easy but not challenging. After few years his parents were killed in a car accident which was due to design flaw in the brakes of the car. Tony then brought that car’s company, redesigned that car and fixed the problem. He did all these things while he was still in his twenties.

How Tony Stark became Iron-Man

Tony stark is a billionaire, philanthropist and head of Stark industries. He was once demoing a weapon in Afghanistan, and was attacked by the same weapon due to which bits of sharpnel remained in his body. At the same day he was kidnapped and kept in a cave by the Ten Rings(a terrorist group).

A fellow prisoner who was a doctor, implanted an electromagnetic into Stark’s Chest to keep sharpnel away from heart as it would kill him. In the cave Stark created an armored suit which he used to escape from that cave and returned home. After that day he became an Iron man who had a suit made with iron.

Strengths of Iron-Man

Without his suit Tony Stark possesses the normal strength like any other human being, but he possesses super-genius intellect. His intelligence is one of the most underrated ability. His intelligence is classed as above genius. He is also one of the three smartest people on the earth. He is also an excellent engineer and mechanic. His armor magnifies his physical strength to superhuman levels.

So that was the basic introduction on Iron-Man.

Now, let’s have a look at some of the lesser-known facts about Iron-Man.

1. Tom Cruise was offered the role of Iron-Man

Before Robert Downey, the role of Iron-Man was offered to Tom Cruise. Tom refused to do so because he was not pleased by the script.

2. Iron Man movie was shot without a complete script

Jon Favreau announced the movie release date so early that the script was not even complete. So Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey used to come to set without knowing their dialogues and made most of the dialogues as they went along. They made half of the script themselves.

3. J.A.R.V.I.S. is not just a name

J.A.R.V.I.S. stands for “Just A Rather Very Intelligent System”. It was originally Tony’s natural-language user interface computer system. After sometime, he was upgraded into an artificially intelligent system. After developing the Iron-Man suit Tony uploaded J.A.R.V.I.S into it allowing him to interact with other Avengers as well. He was named after Edwin Jarvis who worked for Howard Stark.

4. Tony graduated from MIT with a Master’s Degree at the age of 17

Tony was considered as the third most genius person on the earth.He entered MIT at the age of 15 and left at the college at the age of 17 with a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering.

5. Voice behind J.A.R.V.I.S. is Paul Bettany

When J.A.R.V.I.S voice role was offered to Paul, at that time he didn’t know the plot of the story and even after the release he didn’t know the story. He once said in an interview that J.A.R.V.I.S. was the easiest job and it was like a robbery since he only worked for two hours and got paid a lot of money. The role of Vision is also played by Paul.

8. Due to Iron-Man, Robert Downey has become Insanely Rich

The good news is we can make our own Iron-man Suit with some selective shopping but the bad news is hardly any of us would be able to afford it. If you try to buy some of the components then the US secret services and military will be alerted to “Extreme terrorist threat”. You just need $800,000, two jet packs and enough engineering to make them work as a suit.
