Iron Man
Tony Stark, an industrialist who builds powered armour. Across every continuity the invariants are the same: the man, the armour, and the engineering that produces it.
Powers
Across continuities
One canonical record, many iterations. A version is this character in a different continuity; a variant is a separate in-fiction instance inside one. Everything below resolves back to this page.
| Iteration | Type | Continuity | Performed by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Man (Earth-616) | Version | no performer on file | |
| Iron Man (MCU) | Version | MCU | Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, 2008), Robert Downey Jr. (Avengers: Endgame, 2019) |

Milestone appearances — first appearance, death, return, team change. These are the issues the collector market actually prices.

Recorded as ranges rather than one row per issue — the question a reader actually asks, without claiming a completeness we cannot verify.

On screen
Canonical productions only. Parody and fan work is classified and excluded — Wikidata makes no such distinction, so without it these lists fill with material that is not canon.

| John Schwab | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 | 2017 |
Has appeared with
Every character who has shared a production with this one. Wikis are organised by character, not by encounter, so this question is close to unanswerable elsewhere — it exists here only because co-occurrence is recorded at the moment an appearance is.

|---|---|---|
| Captain America | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, Ultimate Avengers | 2 |
| Hank Pym | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, Ultimate Avengers | 2 |
| Hulk | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, Ultimate Avengers | 2 |

The feat ledger
Repulsor-driven flight at supersonic speed inside atmosphere
Repulsor beams from the gauntlets, output scaled to the target
The unibeam, a chest-mounted discharge reserved for the largest targets
The armour, not the man, supplies the strength — a distinction the stories keep
Reaches orbit under armour power
Lifts loads measured in tons in a heavy-duty armour variant
Power is finite and depletes, which is the recurring limit written into him
Operates in vacuum with the armour sealed
