Samantha Galgano - Iron Man

Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man, is, in lack of better words, pretty cool. I mean, not only is he a philanthropist, extremely witty, and rich (which is an added bonus), but he is also extremely intelligent!!! He graduated from the electrical engineering program at MIT at the age of 17. At 21 his parents were killed in a 'car accident', which resulted in him inheriting Stark Enterprises. Fast forward to basically the first interesting scene in the first movie, where Stark visits his international plant to attend a field test. Things blow up, shots get fired, and a piece of a landmine gets lodged near Tony's heart. He is then kidnapped and brought to Wong-Chu's camp, who demands that him and another kidnapped physicist create advanced weaponry for his forces. Since Tony knew that he couldn't live with this shrapnel close to his heart, he and the physicist create the first true Iron Man, which was equip with a magnetic field generator to prevent the metal from reaching his heart. This suit was based off of a blueprint of a battle suit that Stark had been developing in previous years. The whole suit was based around an iron chest plate to protect his new 'heart', hence why the name Iron Man is pretty fitting. This suit, which Stark didn't realize at the time, would later become a prototype that would lead to the production of 7 (!!!) more suits, each sustaining an increase in effectiveness and in technological advances. In conclusion, Iron Man is 10/10.
