 * Main article: Tony Stark

Spoken by Tony Stark
"I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels."

- Tony Stark

"I am Iron Man."

- Tony Stark

Dialogue
"You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?" "Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint." "And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?" "That's not bad."

- Christine Everhart and Tony Stark

"You got a family?" "Yes, and I will see them when I leave here. And you, Stark?" "No." "So you're a man who has everything, and nothing."

- Tony Stark and Ho Yinsen

"Test complete. Preparing to power down and begin diagnostics..." "Uh, yeah, tell you what. Do a weather and ATC check, start listening in on ground control." "Sir, there are still terabytes of calculations required before an actual flight is..." "J.A.R.V.I.S., sometimes you gotta run before you can walk."

- J.A.R.V.I.S. and Tony Stark

"You had a great idea, Tony, but my suit is more advanced in every way!" "How'd you solve the icing problem?" "Icing problem?" "Might want to look into it."

- Obadiah Stane and Tony Stark

"I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public." "Just stick to the cards, man." "Yeah, okay. The truth is... I am Iron Man."

- Tony Stark and James Rhodes

"You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet." "Who the hell are you?" "Nick Fury. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." "Ah." "I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative."

- Nick Fury and Tony Stark

Dialogue
"The smell of stale beer... and defeat. You know, I hate to say "I told you so," but that Super-Soldier project WAS put on ice for a reason. I've always felt that hardware was much more reliable." "Stark." "General." "You always wear such nice suits."

- Tony Stark and Thaddeus Ross

Spoken by Tony Stark
"Oh, it is good to be back!"

- Tony Stark at Stark Expo

"What's the point of owning a race car if you can't drive it?"

- Tony Stark

Spoken about Tony Stark
"You don't deserve to wear one of these! Shut it down!"

- James Rhodes

"It's amazing how annoying a little prick can be."

- Ben Stern

Dialogue
"My priority is to get the Iron Man weapon turned over to the people of the United States of America." "Well, you can forget it. I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one. To turn over the Iron Man suit would be to turn over myself, which is tantamount to indentured servitude or prostitution, depending on what state you're in. You can't have it." "Look, I'm no expert..." "In prostitution? You're a senator. Come on."

- Ben Stern and Tony Stark

"What do you want from me?" "What do we want from you? Uh-uh. What do you want from me? You have become a problem, a problem I have to deal with. Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe. I have bigger problems in the southwest region to deal with."

- Tony Stark and Nick Fury

"Now, the true history of Stark name will be written. What your father did to my family over 40 years, I will do to you in 40 minutes." "Sounds good. Let's get together and hash it out."

- Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark

Spoken by Tony Stark
"It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of how you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster."

- Iron Man

"We have a Hulk."

- Tony Stark

Dialogue
"Mr. Stark, we need to talk." "You have reached the life model decoy of Tony Stark. Please leave a message." "This is urgent." "Then leave it urgently."

- Phil Coulson and Tony Stark

"This is beyond you, metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice." "He gives up the cube, he's all yours. Until then, stay out of the way. Tourist."

- Tony and Thor

"Yeah. Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?" "Genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist." "I know guys with none of that and worth ten of you. I've seen the footage. The only thing that you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play. To lay down on the wire and let the other guy crawl over you." "I think I would just cut the wire." "Always a way out. You know you may not be a threat but you better stop pretending to be a hero." "A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle."

- Captain America and Tony Stark

"What have I to fear?" "The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type thing." "Yes, I've met them." "Yeah. Takes us awhile to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here: Your brother, the demigod; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them."

- Loki and Tony Stark

Spoken by Tony Stark
"And I guess 72 hours is a long time between siestas. Didn't think it could get any worse, then I had to go and turn on the TV. That's when he happened."

- Tony Stark

"My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you. I know you're a coward so I've decided that you just died, pal. I'm going to come and get the body. There's no politics here it's just good old fashioned revenge. There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me."

- Tony Stark message to the Mandarin

"Easy. See? Eleven more to go."

- Tony Stark

"You can take away my suits, you can take away my home, but there's one thing you can never take away from me: I am Iron Man."

- Tony Stark

Dialogue
"Mr Stark, Ho Yinsen." "Ah, I finally met a man called 'Ho'."

- Ho Yinsen and Tony Stark

"You experience things and then they're over, and you still can't explain them? Gods, aliens, other dimensions? I'm just a man in a can. The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because you moved in, which is great. I love you. I'm lucky, but honey, I can't sleep. You go to bed, I come down here. I do what I know. I tinker. Threat is imminent and I have to protect the one thing I can't live without. That's you. And my suits, they're, uh..." "Machines." "They're part of me." "Distractions." "Maybe."

- Iron Man and Pepper Potts

"You know, and thank you by the way for listening. But something about getting it of my chest and letting it out there in the atmosphere instead of holding this in. I mean this is what gets people sick, you know? Wow. I had no idea you where such a good listener. To be able to share all my intimate thoughts and share it with someone, it just cuts the weight of it in half, you know? It's like a snake swallowing its own tail. Everything comes full circle. And the fact that you have been able to help me process-" "So-what-what" "You with me?" "I was. Yeah. Mmhm. Where were we at, um." "You're actively napping?" "I was-I-I drifted." "Where did I lose you?" "Elevator in Switzerland." "So you heard none of it?" "I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm not a therapist. It's not my training." "So?"I-I don't have the-" "What? The time?" "Temperament." "You know what, know that I think about it, oh God, my original wound. 1983, you know, right? I'm 14 years old and I still have a nanny? That was weird."

- Tony Stark and Bruce Banner
