Appearance:
Being not only the Chief Executive Officer of Stark Industries, but it's face, Tony has to look like a professional on a consist basis so he can be seen wearing a three piece suit with a hefty price tag. They are tailor made from the finest fabrics from around the world to fit Tony like a glove. Being a billionaire, there's really no excuse to not look like a billion dollars. The colors vary from time to time, but blues and whites certainly dominate most of his wardrobe.
Tony keeps his facial hair to a minimum; a neatly trimmed goatee that covers his upper lip and his parts of his chin with two small sideburns that only stretch a quarter of the way past his ears. The dark color of Tony's facial hair matches the hair on his head, which is always styled and rarely has much product in it.
Sticking to the good looking billionaire playboy look, Tony's posture can be considered perfect. His shoulders are back and his chest is out, exuding a confidence that only someone like Tony has. Tony's walk isn't stiff by any means, but is a little more of a relaxed swagger because Tony knows how awesome he is.
One look at Tony not only screams professional C.E.O, but a billionaire playboy that knows he's good at what he does.
Personality:
Anthony Edward Stark would never be described as a man that his humble but when you're Tony Stark, you wouldn't be either. Not only is the man a certified genius, but he's also the face and figurehead of Stark Industries, a multi-billion dollar company. He finely walks that small line between being self-assured and brash. And if you ask Tony, he would agree with you.
He knows how cocky he is because he believes that he deserves to be cocky. Most of your household items were made by his company, the same company that also holds one of the biggest military contracts with the government so Tony feels like he's more than deserving of a cocky attitude.
Despite his arrogance, many people can't help but love the man. He's a got a charm and wit that very few posses; being able to befriend just about anyone. It's one of the things that helps balance out the cockiness.
Tony, also, is a person who cares about the people around. Happy Hogan is more than just Tony's driver; Happy is one of Tony's closest friends and almost a confident. James Rhodes and Pepper Potts are two people that Tony holds near and dear to his heart, people that he would do anything. Tony shows levels of loyalty to his friends that can rarely be matched.
Of course, there are some people that can't get around the brashness and simply don't care for Tony. If anything, they might just down right hate them. But to Tony, he simply shrugs them off and pays them no mind. Tony hasn't been known to fly off the handle at these people, but when Tony is angered, he does everything within his power to bring them down, even when it might hurt him or those around him. Tony will never shy away from throwing a punch if he needs to.

Skills and Abilities:
Genius Level Intellect
To say that Tony Stark is kinda smart is saying that the sun is kinda bright. At the age of 21, Tony graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) with advanced degrees in physics and engineering. His expertise in electrical and mechanical engineering surpass many of his colleagues, making him one of the intelligent engineers on the planet.
Tony also further developed his knowledge in computer science, mathematics, chemistry and physics that rivals some of the most brilliant men on the planet.
And while Tony is considered one of the smartest men on the planet, he can still be outclassed in fields in which he isn't knowledgeable in. Dr. Reed Richards is Tony's superior when it comes to Aerospace Engineering and Dr. Hank Pym is bar far a better biochemist than Tony will more than likely ever been.
History:
Anthony Edward Stark was born in Long Island, New York in 1971 to Howard and Maria Stark. Howard and Maria both were brilliant engineers in their own right, both of them founding Stark Industries together. But when Maria became pregnant, she stopped her work to focus on raising her only son. Howard, on the other hand, continued to work to build Stark Industries.
Tony had always felt second when it came to his father's work. Tony had attempted on numerous occasions to help or just even sit and watch his father work, but his father quickly had Maria usher him away. For majority of his childhood, Tony never felt much of a bond with his father.
Being the son of two incredibly intelligent engineers, it was no surprise when Tony himself was crowned a "boy genius". At the age of seventeen, Tony began attending classes at MIT to study mechanical and electrical engineering. Needless to say, Tony was a standout at MIT as he earned advanced degrees in both electrical and mechanical engineering.
As his parents made plans to attend his graduation, Howard and Maria Stark both perished in a plane crash that left a freshly graduated and 21 year old Tony Stark in charge of Stark Industries.
Through the years, Tony took his father's company to heights that many didn't expect him too. Stark Industries is the leading munitions contractors for the United States Government, but one of the leaders in electrical engineering. Not only do they make the weapons that America's soldiers use, they also make the refrigerator that keeps your beer cold.
