25 Most Powerful Comic Book Movie Heroes

9. Iron Man (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Iron Man Tony Stark has appeared in no less than five Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings to date (including his cameo in The Incredible Hulk) and the movies have seen his powers develop steadily. As a general rule, the Iron Man armours grant Stark vast super-strength - such as the ability to pick up a car and at least give Thor something of a challenge in a grapple - and a high level of durability - he took shots from Thor's hammer and went blow for blow with other armours, such as Obadiah Stane's much bulkier Iron Monger armour in the first Iron Man instalment. He also has the power to fly. The most impressive use of this ability to date was probably when he pushed a large propeller on SHIELD's hellicarrier fast enough for it to restart. Offensively, the armours can fire repulsor blasts from the hands and chest and contain a variety of projectile weapons, such as missiles. The inclusion of the artificial intelligence JARVIS means that the armour also acts as a very useful source of information for Stark.
