Today, we live in a world where some of the most popular shows ( Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones) and superhero movies ( Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool) have flawed or dark protagonists and main characters. And that is what made Iron Man the most popular character in MCU Phase 1. While Captain America's character in MCU's Phase 1 is an example of what an ideal superhero should be like, Iron Man's character still is who we all would probably become like in real life if we had super powers and wealth, if not worse. In fact, Captain America was shown to be so unbelievably good in the movie that it was irritating to watch at times. He is the idealistic, honest, righteous and extremely patriotic soldier who will do anything to stop those evil Hydra Nazis from winning the Second World War. Captain America's character in that movie is what you would call the perfect boy scout. Unlike Bruce Wayne, whose lavish lifestyle is actually a disguise to hide his real personality of the dark and brooding Batman, Tony Stark and Iron Man have the same personality.Ĭompare this to the character of Chris Evan's Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger. Downey Jr's Tony Stark is cocky, narcissistic, has some deep daddy issues and does not shy away from flamboyantly enjoying his wealth. What has made Downey Jr's Iron Man one of the best superhero characters in movies is not his bravado or his sense of righteousness, but his set of flaws.

The biggest evidence in support of this is that almost all of the most memorable scenes from The Avengers involve Tony Stark in one way or another. It was the phenomenal portrayal of Tony Stark by Robert Downey Jr that began the series of Marvel movies which gave us some of the most popular characters in cinema today.Īnd for the entire Phase 1 of the MCU (which ended with the release of The Avengers in 2012), Downey Jr's Iron Man was probably the most important character in the MCU. The same analogy holds true for what the 2008 movie Iron Man did for the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU). "Before Elvis, there was nothing," John Lennon had once said.
