The Marvel Cinematic Universe introduces a lot of amazing character but when it’s all say and done, I think Iron Man is my all-time favorite superhero in the Marvel films. Iron Man appears in every Avengers movies and I believe he shines the most in the most recent one: Avengers: Endgame.

To put it simply, Iron Man is a rich billionaire who was an arrogant and entitled person until he went through a lot of hardship and started using his resources to protect Earth and to become a better person. He is extremely intelligent. He built an armor suit to combat with superhuman or aliens with superpower fairly! Can you believe it, he’s just a human!

One of the reasons I love this character is that he’s probably the only one whose characteristics changed for the better over the course of time. Other superheroes are basically just good guys from the start. Iron Man was selfish and nobody liked him but going through all the ups and downs, he turned into a lovable and kind person who ultimately sacrificed himself using the 6 infinity stones and the infinity gauntlet to save the entire universe from the edge of extintyon. Another reason is that he has a sarcastic humor which I enjoy a lot.     

The character of Iron Man has influenced me in many ways. He shows me that everyone can become a better person by putting aside their ego to strive for a greater good. He also teaches us all the value of patriotism and the importance of standing up for one’s own country. And of course, Iron man proves that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel if you keep on pushing.
