Tony Stark is an exception, though. He was once a slave who escaped after he fooled his captor into letting him create a minature arc reactor that he embedded into his own chest in order to fly to freedom and safety - as well as to magnetically keep shrapnel from invading his heart and killing him. He isn't the normal billionaire owner of a software company (outside of comic books).
- gs17 4y agoDidn't he have JARVIS before all that? I'd expect the missiles he was demoing earlier in the movie to have had AI help in design.
- IncRnd 4y agoNope. I'm talking about the very youthful Tony Stark, who was a defense contractor in 1963. [1] While he was demoing some new weapons in the jungles of Vietnam, he was captured by a Viet Cong warlord and forced to create weapons for the oppposing side. And, they didn't want to pay him defense contractor wages! So Iron Man was born, and Stark flew away with his humming arc reactor in his chest. [2] He looks incredibly youthful for being around 80. I guess that hum in his chest keeps him young. [1] https://www.britannica.com/topic/Iron-Man-comic-book-character#ref309087 https://www.britannica.com/topic/Iron-Man-comic-book-charact...
