Flying, sparks coming out of your palm, armored suits that form to your body that perform specialized attacking skills. I think we all had a feeling once in our lives where we imagined ourselves as a superhero, whether it was to save the world from evil, or just the fun of containing powers.
Tony Stark is an inspiration to many. Iron Man has been around for a long time, entertaining us with his wit, humor, and crazy powers he possesses. Let’s take a look at his most famous powers and abilities on a journey in the comic world.

"Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but it's kind of provocative, the imagery anyway." -Tony Stark
Trapped in Vietnam, thinking quickly was a necessity! Being an engineer and following in his father's footsteps to the ultimate intelligence he will soon gain, Tony was lucky he held so much compassion for engineering. It was all put to test while being kidnapped by "The Ten Rings" terrorist group who wanted his genius brain to build them a missile. Yeah, right! He wouldn't do that.
