Now today were doing some different, we will be outlining some key events in this list.
So without further ado - Here's How Iron Man Got To Avengers Endgame
#10 The Car Battery Tony Stark was a genius, playboy, billionaire,
philanthropist and CEO of Stark Industries the main manufacturer for the US military.
Until he was attacked and kidnapped in Afghanistan leading to Tony quite literally having a change
of heart.
It was there where he witnessed the very weapons he had created being used for evil intentions.
While being forced into recreating his deadly invention the Jericho Missile he would mean
the man that would ultimately save his life.
That car battery is what saved Tony's life and gave him the opportunity to invent his
arc reactor
#9 I Am Iron Man The moment that Tony decided to throw away
his secret identity really kicked off a lot of events.
As Vision explains during debates over the Sakovia Accords when Tony did this the world
suddenly saw an uptick in the number of known enhanced persons had grown exponentially.
Because of this they also saw a rise in the potential world-ending events as a result.
To focus more on the positive side though you could say that this was the pivotal moment
of Tony deciding to recruit others who seek to do good in the world and form the Avengers.
#8 Recruiting
Many may forget this post-credit scene from the Incredible Hulk when it was played by
Edward Norton, but its another key step in Iron Mans path to Endgame.
In this scene, he chats with General Thaddeus Ross about recruiting the Hulk for a new team
hes putting together.
Its quick, but without Tony focusing on getting some muscle for his team you can imagine just
how different the events leading up to Endgame would have been.
#7 Avengers Test Now like any good team, take sports for example,
you need a pre-season game to warm up and build confidence.
You cant just assume that everyone youve recruited is going to be a good match immediately or
that the chemistry will be on point.
When Tony works with Black Widow for the first time alongside War Machine in Iron Man 2 its
a proto-type for the Avengers.
They take on the villain Whiplash and Justin Hammer, not opponents to be taken lightly,
but certainly a good test of skills that can be utilized in the future.
#6 Avengers Assemble By the time we reach Avengers Age of Ultron
we see that Tony has a key understanding now of whos on his side and is more aware than
ever of the outer worldly threats that exist in the universe.
He even says, that up there, thats the end game.
Its foreshadowing for a movie that wouldnt come for another 4 years, but man does it
ever resonate more than ever.
Here hes referring to the Chitauri that threatened the planet and in a way is defending his creation
of Ultron.
Although as insane and hard to defeat as Ultron was without him you wouldnt have Vision.
On the negative side of things you also wouldnt have had the disaster in Sokovia, but hey
even thats an important event for Iron Mans future.
#5 The Sacrifice
Now if we can back things up a tad to the first Avengers film we saw the Avengers Assemble
for their new initiative to defend the planet.
They didnt have to wait long either to test their skills when the Chitauri along with
Loki invaded New York City to wreak havoc.
When Iron Man decides to carry a nuke through the wormhole opened by the invaders it was
a genuine sacrifice.
He didnt know if he would survive, but if it meant saving the planet he would give up
everything.
Its a truly admirable act of good that probably impressed the hell out of Captain America
who literally jumped on a grenade even before he had his powers.
Without Tonys selfless act of being the one to deliver the silver bullet destroying the
Chitauris ship, the Endgame would have come a lot sooner.
#4 The Vision Working closely with Bruce Banner to the two
scientific geniuses along with some help from Thor the team creates the newest member of
the Avengers, Vision.
And thank god that they did, because, without Vision, Ultron would still be around.
Originally Vision was created by Ultron for Ultron, but when the Avengers steal the vibranium
body and mind stone they sprinkle in whats left of Jarvis and create the perfect AI superhero
we know and love.
#3 Sokovia Accords Although this new team of Avengers didnt last
long after the events in Sokovia saw the Accords that would prevent them from interfering again
with threats to the planet, it did lead to some necessary discussions about their role
in the world.
Ultimately the Sokovia Accords were a bad things for the Avengers after it caused a
ripple in the team splitting them into two seperate factions.
To look at the good for a moment though it caused some necessary reflection for Tony
Stark.
Even while the team was debating it left him speechless just remember the innocent lives
that were lost due to his creation of Ultron.
This was a necessary step in his personal development of becoming even more of a leader
for the team.
#2 The Apprentice Continuing in his path to assemble the perfect
team, Tony paid a visit to Spider-Man and even gifted him with a new suit.
I mean he took it away pretty fast, but really put on display his leadership qualities in
mentoring the young Peter Parker.
Plus if it werent for Tony recruiting Spidey they wouldnt have come close to saving Doctor
Strange and even slipping off the Infinity Gauntlet before Star-Lord messed it up.
#1 Team Player Whats probably the most impressive event that
has led us to Endgame is Iron Mans ability to play well with others.
Even if he just met them.
Infinity War was the shining example for this because of his willingness to partner up with
Doctor Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Not to mention hes working in some foreign terrority when he rushes to the aid of Stephen
Strange after hes kidnapped for his infinity stone.
Without these new found friends, Tony wouldnt have known it was possible to defeat Thanos.
Now with that knowledge well see him taking on the Mad Titan with his new team in Avengers
Endgame.
And that has been the Top 10 events that led Iron man to Avengers Endgame.
