Perhaps, it was Robert Downey Jr.’s excellent role portrayal of Iron Man that made the character one of the most highly regarded characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe saga. Downey had a natural flair for the role, being that the fictional human character behind Iron Man, which is Tony Stark, had a very compelling personality. Stark was your modern-day Elon Musk who was rich and handsome and who had grand visions of creating tech that would help better the world.
Of course, this might be the limited knowledge of people with regard to the character of Iron Man. However, Iron Man was a much more complex character than what we already knew about the character through Downey Jr. After all, Iron Man was the character behind the Avengers, and he was the one who brought Thor, Wasp, the Hulk, and Ant-Man together. The characters were created in 1963 when at that time, there was a kind of arms race between nations as they played different roles in the Cold War. In a way, we can say that Iron Man was imagined and created as a reflection of society and history, wanting to come behind a hero who would turn our nightmares on warfare and turn them into dreams where machines and inventions work for the betterment of humankind. With this, let us have our top 50 powerful Iron Man quotes.
