The events of Avengers: Endgame culminated in Tony Stark's death after he used the Infinity Stones to snap away Thanos and his army for good before succumbing to the immense gamma radiation they produced as a result.
Stark develops PTSD from his experiences during the alien invasion, resulting in panic attacks. Restless, he builds several dozen Iron Man suits, creating friction with girlfriend Pepper Potts.
Tony Stark has a damaged heart from the plane crash that the Mandarin caused, and because of that, he has an implant made by Dr. Ho Yinsen that keeps it beating. His implant is made out of a stabilized form of Kylight, a metal that is found in the abandoned Stark outpost in the Arctic.
However, upon arriving on the Golden Gate Bridge, the hordes of zombies proved too much for them to handle, and Stark was quickly overwhelmed by the horde, infected, and transformed into a zombie alongside his fellow Avengers, excluding T'Challa.
Tony Stark's death in Avengers: Endgame has left the MCU with a major hole to fill. While characters like Doctor Strange and Spider-Man could become the new faces of the shared universe, it will be Riri Williams who will serve as Iron Man's more direct replacement.
After regaining conciousness Tony Stark, using a box of scraps, built a small Arc Reactor, an almost limitless source of energy. He placed it inside his chest to power the electromagnet and no longer had to use the car battery.
Originally Stark Industries, the name was changed when the company ceased manufacturing munitions, with Tony handing over the CEO position to Pepper Potts. Eventually, the company was taken over by Obadiah Stane after a hostile takeover and he renamed it Stane International.
He discovered an element that could fulfill his needs through a hidden message. He proceeded to re-create this new element (using the molecular structure provided by his father) and created another arc reactor that cured his palladium poisoning.
After returning, Iron Man falls under the control of Immortus, turning him evil. The Avengers bring an alternate Tony Stark from another reality to help defeat him. Iron Man is killed, and the alternate Tony Stark becomes the new Iron Man.
The fallout of Iron Man's death in Avengers: Endgame also changed in Phase 4, thanks to the MCU's exploration of the afterlife. Moon Knight provided a glimpse of the afterlife, according to Egyptian mythology, as Marc Spector passed through the Field of Reeds.
In the aftermath of Tony Stark's tragic passing, Pepper Potts, his partner and former CEO of his company, stepped in to take his place as a beacon of leadership and to fill the void he left behind.
What happens to Stark Industries after Tony Stark dies?
Before his death, Tony had long relinquished CEO duties of Stark Industries to Pepper Potts, his competent secretary-turned-wife. After he died, it's likely that she has continued to run the company, but the MCU has yet to offer any update about how it has been in the post-Infinity Saga era.
Tony's PTSD symptoms include nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety attacks, invasive and violent memories, but he is successful at managing his symptoms when he is away from his suits.
There could be many reasons for Tony not going for the surgery during IM1 or IM2. The medical expertise to deal with such a unique case would not have been present at that time. The arc reactor reminded Tony of Yinsen, and his promise. By IM3, he had realised that he could be Iron man without the arc reactor.
Tony Stark had the shrapnel removed in Iron Man 3, so his arc reactor was unnecessary. Here's why he was still using one (and if Ironheart does too). Even though Tony Stark had his life-saving arc reactor removed in Iron Man 3, the MCU's Iron Man still uses the technology during his later Marvel Studios appearances.
While Marvel has not provided an overtly specific date for Tony Stark's death, the most reasonably argued date is October 17, 2023, based on references in the MCU timeline and WandaVision.
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed that Iron Man 4 is indeed in the works. While negotiations continue for his return, this would mark his 7th appearance in a standalone Marvel movie and his 9th outing as Tony Stark in total.
Early life. Thanos was born approximately 1,000 years ago on the planet Titan to A'Lars, along with his brother Eros. Thanos deems the growth of Titan's population to be unsustainable, so he proposes to arbitrarily kill half of Titan's population.
While it was expected that at least one big character would die in Endgame, Iron Man's death came as a big surprise, and it was such an emotional scene that it earned a place in MCU history as one of its most tragic moments.
After a fight for the gauntlet, Stark attached the stones to his armor, before snapping his fingers, disintegrating Thanos and his army, and effectively saving the universe. The action took a huge toll on his body due to the gamma radiation and the power of the stones, zapping him of his remaining life force.
The Leader (Samuel Sterns) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Leader first appeared in Tales to Astonish #62 (December 1964), created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko as the archenemy of the Hulk.
