Respect Tony Stark, Iron Man (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

"You can take away my suits. You can take away my home. But there's one thing you can never take away from me: I am Iron Man."

Tony Stark lived a playboy lifestyle after the death of his parents left him in control of Stark Industries, a large industrial company which got its start and continued to make a notable amount of its profit in weapons manufacturing. It was on a trip demonstrating their latest weapon where Stark's convoy was attacked, leaving him kidnapped with shrapnel moving ever closer to his heart. Requiring an electromagnet to prevent his imminent death, Tony put a small Arc Reactor to do the job before creating a metal suit laden with weapons to escape.

Back in America, Tony continued to work on the concept that helped him escape the terrorist base, attracting the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. before announcing to the world he was Iron Man. Now a superhero on top of a playboy, Tony was first recommended for an advisory role in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s protection program, but regardless became a founding member of the Avengers. After a vision given to him by Wanda Maximoff, he sought for a way to protect the world without the Avengers, ultimately failing and having to stop his own creation from wiping out humanity. This led to him officially retiring, but Tony continues to look for ways to make the world a better place, often being made to don the latest version of the Iron Man armour to protect the people and causes he cares for.

#Iron Man Suits - General

###HUD

Tony's software for his suits appears to be universal, with all of them being ran by JARVIS^I (or FRIDAY, after Vision's creation^AoU). As such, these functions are likely applicable to all suits following their initial appearance.

• Zooms in on distant areas^I
• Identifies a weak point on Iron Monger's armour, letting Tony cut his visual feed^I
• Identifies terrorists from civilians to target with a weapon^I
• Scans the ground for a spot that, when hit by his repulsors, closes a small cluster of people to be taken out^PI
• Quickly scans an in-construction building for sings of life^AoU
• Provides an x-ray through a helicarrier's engine, highlighting the problem Tony needs to fix^Av
  • Shows the interior of a HYDRA base as his missile burrows in to take out a shield generator^WS
• Thermal vision^III
  • Identifies there being one heat signature in a large area^CW
  • Tracks a descending elevator and the people in it^End
• Tracks the best path between people falling through the air as well as showing Tony his max carrying capacity^III
• Takes phone calls^I

###Summoning

• Following Tony giving himself micro-repeater implants, he is capable of summoning armours onto him without the need of extra devices^III
  • At least the Mark XLII can be directed onto others, doing so incredibly quickly. Tony has used this to incapacitate opponents^III
  • Calls the suit off of Pepper and onto him^III
• Can call all intact suits to him via the House Party Protocol, where they can be commanded to follow certain instructions^III
• Can home in on him from several states away, reaching him in Miami after being kept in a shed in Tennessee^III
• Kept the Hulk Buster suit in a satellite so he can access it wherever neccesary, with parts of it breaking off to wrap around his existing suit while others break off to create a cage to try and contain the Hulk^AoU
• Summons the Iron Spider suit and puts it on Spider-Man while he's on an ascending spaceship^IW
• Tony claims his suits are coded to only work for him, though as Pepper was able to use the Mark XLII earlier, it's unclear if she or the XLII is the exception or if he just didn't want to give Rhodey a suit^III

###AI

This is purely for the AI as part of the suit, and not actions outside of it.

• If a system is inoperable for any reason, the suit AI can work to restore them on its own^III
• Runs facial recognition on people in advance of Tony's request and accesses confidential information pertaining to the people concerned^CW
• Locates where the Mandarin was broadcasting from after factoring in AIM downlink facilities^III
• Works out how a massive amount of rock is being kept together and how many would die if it fell^AoU
• Calculates evasive maneuvers around a bridge to evade two people following him^AI
• While Tony is being wailed on by Captain America, analyses his fight pattern to create countermeasures before making the suit pull them off^CW

###Other

• Outside of the Mark I, all suits have at least basic flight and repulsor technology,^III including the Hulkbuster^AoU
• The Mark VII had its wiring changed so that, if one part of the suit was rendered inoperable, the rest of it would still function. It is possible this alteration was kept in future suits^CoM
• All suits at least up to Iron Man 3 are capable of being self-destructed, including while on people^III

#Iron Man Suits

Given how Tony's constantly adapting with his suits, the following are presented in model order. While it may be assumed that the abilities of prior suits are applicable to later ones as Tony refines the technology, given some suits are explicitly designed for particular purposes (e.g. speed over combat), this is not necessarily the case.
