This invention proves that no matter how powerful a superhero is, there's always room for growth with a Tony Stark invention. It leveled the playing field for how suits in the Marvel Universe were henceforth designed moving forward and created clean energy that wasn't harmful to the environment.
Not only did it create repulsor technology, but it also shaped our technological advancement. Tony Stark is kept alive by the Arc Reactor along with having profound abilities made possible within the suit. In order to combat the deterioration in the Arc Reactor from its palladium core, Tony Stark was forced to invent a new element. Although this creation was primarily thought of by his father Howard Stark, Tony was the one to carry out Badassium's invention.
Adding another notch to the periodic table of elements was not the only positive to come from this invention. Additionally, Badassium even further prompted the idea of clean energy power sourcing and changed the way MCU viewed technological-environment properties.
Tony Stark's Extremis 3. The app made for cell phones was free for use and it created perfect health, perfect beauty, and immortality. This really portrays how much a little creation such as a phone app can spiral out of control and turn into something much more powerful than intended. Joseph Storrs Fry invented the first chocolate bar in , and chocolatier John Cadbury's business, Cadbury, is now a world famous brand with hundreds of chocolicious inventions to its name — many invented while it was still owned by Quakers more on that Quaker chocolate history here.
And Quaker contributions to the world of sweet treats weren't limited to chocolate — Fruit Pastilles were invented by Quaker confectioner Joseph Rowntree in A question for you: did the Quaker upholsterer Betsy Ross invent the American flag?
That depends on whether you prefer myth-making to history…. Taught to sew by her Quaker family, Betsy became an upholstery apprentice. She fell in love with another apprentice, was kicked out of the Quakers for eloping with him, and then started her own upholstery business with her husband John. Betsy's upholstery business also produced flags. According to legend, during this time Betsy, in the company of a small group of rebels including Washington, drafted the 'Betsy Ross flag' — a forerunner of today's American flag.
When she died, Betsy Ross was buried in a Free Quakers burial ground. Free Quakers were those kicked out for failing to adhere to the Quaker peace testimony during the American Revolutionary War — but that is story for another time. While the Betsy Ross flag story isn't favoured by many scholars today, the next Quaker innovation is a firm historical fact — though it had some pretty questionable consequences.
It was the work of a Quaker named Jeremiah Dixon, a British 18th century surveyor and astronomer. Dixon had a curious career. Alongside fellow surveyor Charles Mason he attempted to observe the transit of Venus from Sumatra but ended up observing it at the Cape of Good Hope. Then, from to , he and Mason went to North America and drew the now infamous Mason-Dixon Line across the nation. At the time, Dixon's work helped settle a border dispute between Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
However, it came to be widely seen as representing the border between the Northern United States and the Southern United States. In his time Dixon was honoured as a Fellow of the Royal Society.
He died young in , surveying castles in County Durham, and would have no way of knowing the significance his line would have in coming centuries. One of his earlier creations was his patented Anti-Gravity Device, a tool that enables some limited control over one of nature's most powerful forces. A deceptively simple small red box, the Anti-Gravity Device can project an energy beam that counteracts the force of gravity for any objects inside the beam, thus making this object float in midair as if no gravity existed.
This same device can have the reverse effect — call it extra -gravity, increasing the force of an object — and it's powerful enough to lift entire mountains, if only for a few minutes. However, almost as soon as he successfully completes work on the Anti-Gravity Device, Tony is unfortunate enough to have it stolen by his enemy the Black Widow — yes, that Black Widow — who is at this time a KGB agent.
Black Widow wreaks havoc with the device, and in the end, Iron Man is only able to stop her by destroying it. Since then, he has been unable to reproduce it. Though really, maybe a device that can lift up mountains isn't necessarily the best thing for the world. The idea of Tony Stark helping Peter Parker update his costume during the Civil War isn't totally out of left field; it has some basis in the comics, as does Peter's alignment with Tony Stark.
The updated costume that Peter receives in the films, and which will be returning for Spider-Man: Homecoming , is the classic red and blue Spidey outfit that we all know and love. But the comic book version of the Civil War storyline takes place much later in Spidey's career, and the outfit that Tony gives him is quite different. The "Iron Spider" costume, as it's often called, is an amalgam between Spider-Man's classic look and Iron Man's armor. It's actually one of the most advanced armors that Tony has ever created, its skin composed of advanced protein-scale nanotechnology capable of sensing any impact, integrated life support, and high performance plastic.
In addition to loads of the other sorts of cool and practical features that Iron Man puts into his own armors, the Iron Spider costume also allows Peter to sprout four mechanical spider legs from his back, capable of using camera lenses to see around corners. When Spidey and Tony have a falling out, and Peter decides to join up with Captain America 's team instead, he abandons the Iron Spider costume.
The Mars Rover? A rolling, spinning, monster of a device, the Jupiter Landing Vehicle was designed specifically to take on the inhospitable, heavy-gravity terrain of the planet it's named after. The Jupiter Landing Vehicle is equipped with a sonic disrupter unit that can shatter mountains, thick treads that can negotiate any terrain, lasers, and creepy lobster-claw arms.
It's not a radio-controlled device, however, and possesses no artificial intelligence. Rather, the JLV is more like the world's most intense heavy metal tank, with a cockpit that can contain one pilot who can be safely ejected if something goes wrong. To test the vehicle out for the first time, Tony pilots it as Iron Man. Unfortunately, it's on this same test drive that he runs into the Super-Adaptoid, who lifts the JLV off its heavy treads and turns it into little more than a crunched aluminum can.
But the vehicle's design has stood the test of time, and it has been rebuilt multiple times since. Whereas some fellow billionaire superheroes either lose their fortune or leave the day-to-day handling of their company to other minds, Tony Stark is deeply involved with his family business.
Everyone knows about the famous Stark Industries, originally run by Howard Stark and passed down to his son, but while it's Tony's most enduring brand, it is far from the only company he's piloted. In the comics, after Tony ceases the company's weapons manufacturing wing, he rechristens it as Stark International in order to visibly showcase its new direction.
This all comes to a crashing halt when Obadiah Stane rips the company away from Tony, taking it over and renaming it Stane International.
After recovering from an alcoholic downturn, and spending some time working at a startup tech company named Circuits Maximus, Tony starts up a new company in Los Angeles named Stark Enterprises; after Stane dies following his battle with Iron Man, Stane International is absorbed into Stark Enterprises.
But it doesn't end there. Tony Stark may be an arrogant, egotistical, and self-absorbed jerk at times, but he's definitely not lacking in ambition. He later goes on to found another new company, Stark Solutions. It overrides the standard online composite license for still images and video on the Getty Images website.
