Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, is perhaps the best-known Avenger. You’ll see merch plastered with Robert Downey Jr.’s likeness wherever you go these days, and it’s because everyone wants to be Tony Stark. He was the first part of the MCU that really stuck – Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield didn’t make the cut as Spider-Man and Edward Norton’s Hulk didn’t last either.
The billionaire, playboy, philanthropist is one of the playable Avengers game characters, so you can live out your dreams of blasting bad guys away. With the help of a trusty and highly dangerous weaponised suit you can fly through levels without a care in the world. Also, in case we forgot to mention it already, you’re a playboy billionaire, like Batman, but without all the drama.
Also if you’ve watched the MCU and you’re scared of Tony Stark and Peter Parker’s relationship, let’s say, disintegrating – don’t worry Spider-Man isn’t even coming to PC so “Mr Stark I don’t feel so good” is something of the past. If you want Parker on PC, then here are some Spider-Man PC games for you, but in the meantime here’s what Iron Man’s abilities are in Marvel’s Avengers game.
