Tony Stark/Iron Man is one of the biggest heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having launched the entire endeavor with his eponymous film in 2008. Thanks in large part to his technologically advanced suits, Tony has been able to stand with some pretty incredible foes to fight alongside literal gods. However, Tony has taken a lot of inspiration from other heroes and their powers. In this new video, we're going to go into some of the ways Tony has actually copied other people's abilities.
The most obvious example of this is Tony's Hulkbuster armor, which is based on the Hulk and designed specifically to take down the hero. Bruce Banner did work with Tony to make this armor, which is able to stack on top of an existing Iron Man suit. The Hulkbuster is an incredibly formidable set of armor and makes Tony as strong as the Hulk himself.

In terms of Iron Man's future in the MCU, the hero died during the events of Avengers: Endgame, sacrificing himself to use the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out Thanos and his army. At this time, there's no indication Tony Stark will return to the MCU anytime soon, aside from a rumored cameo using previously shot footage in this year's Black Widow, which is itself a prequel. This means there's a chance someone else might just take up Iron Man's mantle in the future and don their own suit of armor. Who that will be, though, isn't known at this time, and there have been rumors that anyone from Morgan Stark to Riri Williams could step up to take Tony's place.
