Affiliation: Avenger
Abilities: Suiting up the Iron Armor: The armor used to require several machines to put on the suit, in a lengthy process. Later, this was changed to having it in a suitcase, which shortened the suiting up time, but was not very effective on the battlefield. The deposition of the armors changed over time, being able to hold the armor within herself, and use it when needed, and spring into action in mere seconds. A new model of armor uses intelligent liquid metal to generate itself around Stark. Recently, Stark returned to having several machines to suit her up, although the process was now made fast.
Support Powers
Superhuman Strength: She is capable of lifting up to 100 tons when wearing her armor and can achieve higher levels of strength when powered by a sufficiently more powerful source.
Superhuman Speed: Even when not traveling for extended distances, the armor enables the wearer to move and react at very high speeds.
Flight: The armor can typically reach speeds in excess of Mach 10, however Iron Maiden has been recently depicted as able to reach orbital escape velocities (5 miles per second) and up to speeds that can outrun black holes. Use of the jet boots provide enough power to lift a load of about 500 tons.
Power Cells: Most of her armors are powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. Current models after Iron Maiden Armor Model 38 use a Repulsor Tech generator located in Stark's chest to be powered.
Energy Conversion Power Recharge: The armor is also able to absorb and convert nearby or far away energy sources, such as heat, solar, electrical, magnetic, geothermal or kinetic energy or energy from the planet itself into electricity, or even drain energy directly into the batteries for recharge.
Self-Contained Life-Support System & Environmental Protection: The armor can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation, biological, chemical, corrosive, kinetic, and electrical attacks as well.
Magnetism: The armor can generate magnetic fields to pull or push metal objects at will.
Anti-Magnetism: The armor Toni has to negate the effects of magnetism on it. Toni skill is used often to be immune to the powers of Magneto. This skill can be triggered when the armor picks next wave magnetism.
Onboard Computer: The armor has an internal onboard computer operating system that aids Stark in providing strategies, background information on opponents, surroundings, the status of the suit, and prevents a lock on from targeting systems.
Sensor Array: Known sensors include radar/lidar, night vision, and physiological/medical scanners that allow Stark to take and monitor the vitals of other people, including heart and brain scans. These scans also provide Stark with real-time personal physiological data. They are also capable of an all-environmental scan for atmospheric content or life forms--including astral energy projections.
Override: When required, armor systems including strength amplification, durability amplification, and repulsor intensity can be greatly increased, by bypassing safety circuits and limiters. However, there is a chance that this can result in a complete system failure of the armor. An example of this mode is when Iron Maiden easily lifted a 16,000 ton Nuclear Reactor, and flew into the sky and threw it into the sea. It seems that she utilized this resource on the Hulk once, as the armor ends up completely inert. The range of the Override can be controlled as only reaching her very limit and staying at it for a long time will cause a system failure. This range goes from a safe 800% to 3200%, up to a very dangerous 5000%.
Defensive Powers
Crystallized Iron Armor: The armor has evolved from a bulky iron suit to a highly complex matrix of molecularly-aligned fully crystallized ultra high carbon iron/steel hybrid alloy enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other ultra hyper alloys like titanium alloy and or tungsten/vanadium alloys reinforced with carbon nanotubes creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of amazingly high resilience and protection.
Enhanced Durability: Her armor is very durable, capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of punishment. It can withstand high caliber bullets with ease. She can also withstand rockets, missiles, torpedoes, high powered lasers, and such, taking little to no damage. Future armors were fully resistant against electricity, fire, heavy impacts, energy blasts, take zero Kelvin and up to the Suns temperatures, even some of Thor's attacks (see Thorbuster). The suit can withstand almost unlimited kinetic and thermal impact, as well as most forms of radiation thanks to its refractory coating. The armor can survive anything short of a nuclear explosion at ground zero. The suit automatically protects its wearer when she enters an intrinsically hostile environment, such as outer space or deep sea. The armor even has specialized circuitry that guards against telepathic attacks. Toni is very confident in her suit's defensive abilities, when she was caught in a nuclear explosion, she was only thinking about women and completely forgot about what was happening around her.
Energy Shield: Energy shielding that can protect the user from harm. It is also capable of reflecting attacks and staying mobile. At 2% power, the shield is strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion.
Offensive Powers
Repulsor Rays: The armor's primary energy weapon. A particle beam weapon, standard equipment in the palm gauntlets; can repel physical and energy-based attacks, traveling as a single stream or as a wide-field dispersal. It's damage potential is extremely lethal, from being able to go through 2 inches of steel like paper to blasting a hole through a mountain. They can be powered up to make a larger beam or a Full Form repulsor Ray, which does 360 degrees of attacks. The power of the repulsor Beams can range from the basic ones such as the one from the Mark 3, which fires 2 gigawatt beams, to the beams on a much further model of the suit such as the Model 27 which fires beams in the high petawatt region, but those require a little assistance from outside. The latest model of repulsor technology is that of Mark IVa, used for the first time in the Iron Maiden Armor Model 42, featuring a red color.
Unibeam: A powerful searchlight, capable of projecting beams in virtually every light spectrum. Also used as a powerful weapon that can destroy anything in its path. It fires a boosted form of the Monobeam with some energy backing it up.
Tri-beam: This unique version of the Unibeam runs on direct power from the chestplate, draining it's energy rapidly if not fully charged. It has considerable knockback.
Multi-beam: As the name implies, the Multi-beam can fire multiple energies at the same time. Generally used with the energy that Toni Stark has absorbed.
Pentabeam: The Pentabeam has microwave lensing projector that allows for directed beams of ultra-high multi millijoule electrons, protons, acoustic energy, and neutrons.
Omnibeam: Rather than only firing beam type attacks, the Omnibeam can generate heats at 25232 degrees Fahrenheit, extremely powerful lights causing irreversible blindness in the enemy, and emit ultrasonic attacks capable of stunning even superhumanly durable foes and even causing disintegration. The other way the Omnibeam is fired is by absorbing or draining any energy in Iron Maiden's vicinity, drawing it into his chest reactor and converting it into billions of petawatts and firing it.
Lasers: Standard lasers that can be used as weapons or for welding, including UV laser to penetrate light-permeable shiels.
Pulse Bolts: Extremely powerful plasma discharges that propagate in strength over distance, but implode if they get overloaded.
Energy Blade: Based on the same design Toni Stark used to build Captain America's energy shield, this laser sword, emitted from her right arm, could also be flattened into a shield on her hands, or spread over the entire armor to encase the armor in a protective covering.
Pulse Barrage: Pulse Barrage is one of Iron Maiden's standard long range attack. Because of its extremely low energy consumption, Pulse Barrage can be a very effective attack. an upgraded Red Pulse Barrage has the ability to penetrate through foes hitting others behind them, and the ability to ricochet off walls hitting more targets.
Smart Missiles: The Smart Missile is one that can target the weak points of a structure, object, or foe to inflict maximum damage with a minimal payload.
Hyper-velocity Impact: The program Hyper-velocity allows Toni to think and move at a much faster time frame than everyone else, allowing for quicker attacks. Also, it could create an electrical bubble if Toni is going fast enough.
Plasma Discharge: A plasma discharge is given off when the suit comes into contact with Vibranium.
Telepathic Microscopic Tasers: Toni created this device to prevent telepathic beings use its powers. They are stored in the armor's electric jet. One inhaled by a telepath, the more he/she tries to use his/her psychic powers, the higher is the voltage of an electric current released in his/her body. It can be lethal if the telepath doesn't stop trying to use his/her powers.
Super-Genius class Intelligence: Quite apart from the powers granted him by the suit, Toni Stark is far more than a mechanical engineering prodigy who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with honors at the age of 17.
With an intelligence classed as super-genius, she easily is one of the smartest people on Earth. Furthermore, this extends to her remarkable ingenuity dealing with difficult situations such as difficult foes and death traps where she is capable of using her available tools, like her suit, in unorthodox and effective ways, as an example: when she built the first Iron Maiden Armor in captivity. She has also been able to hack even technology from the aliens Kree, a race centuries more advanced than humans.
Toni is known as a "futurist". She has stated that the way her mind works she can intuit the future, even being able to foreshadow that a situation similar to the superhuman Civil War was going to happen, years before it did.
More recently, Stark's intelligence grew to super-human levels with more energy being emanated to his brain thanks to the R.T. node in her chest, levels which even left Mr. Fantastic amazed.
Stark can use her superior intellect to the levels of dividing her consciousness with the help of equipments and perfectly operate three portions of her consciousness at the same time, being able to move, fight, talk and process information in three different bodies at the same time.
Expert Engineer: She is an excellent engineer and mechanic capable of fixing almost, if not all, any machinery.
Expert Businessman: Stark is extremely well-respected in the business world, able to command people's attentions when she speaks on economic matters by virtue of the fact that she is savvy enough to have, over the years, built up several multimillion dollar companies from virtually nothing. She is known for the loyalty she commands from and returns to those who work for her, as well as her impeccable business ethics. She also strives to be environmentally responsible in her businesses, and in one case, immediately fired an employee who made profitable (but illegal) sales to Doctor Doom. She states that if she wanted to, she could give away her entire fortune and build it up again within a week.
Expert Tactician: She is a brilliant tactician capable of quickly formulating battle strategies and new plans if the situation changes, like being able to elaborate different complex plans in order to defeat different enemies in difficult situations, and be victorious. Even going as far as to simultaneously put Reed Richards in check on five different boards playing chess, a game she didn't learn until later in her life, leaving Richards totally astonished.
Skilled Combatant: Stark was trained in unarmed combat by Captain America and has become quite physically formidable on her own when the situation demands it. She once managed to defeat five trained Skrull soldiers in single-handed combat and numerous Voldi gladiators.
Slightly-Trained Acrobat: Through her training, Stark has learned to increase her agility and perform acrobatics, which even though don't reach levels of people like Captain America, are superior to the average human.
Indomitable Will: As evidenced by her two serious bouts with alcoholism and subsequent recovery, Stark is possessed of tremendous strength of will, never giving up and often emerging from defeat even stronger. It is arguable that the true "Iron Maiden" is not the armor, but Stark herself.
PEPPER: Is an advanced hovering drone built by Toni one drunken night that she couldn’t actually remember building it. Deciding to keep it she added a number of features from guns that fire both lethal and nonlethal rounds, computer hacking, emp blast and a shield to either protect itself or Toni. When it isn’t in attack mode the little drone is usually flying about Toni’s workshop either helping or trying to talk Toni out of doing stupid things (most of the time it doesn’t work.)
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Toni is a woman of contradictions. On one hand, she is a genius, a brilliant woman who could make America the dominant military force if she would only let them in on her Irontech technology. On the other hand, she is an alcoholic playgirl who has made sleeping with the world’s most beautiful men a point of honor. In Toni’s defense, she has a serious heart condition that means that living for the moment is a necessity. Faced with the death sentence it is not surprising she turned to the bottle. Toni is a woman who really wants to make the world a better place. She has funded the Avengers and has never knowingly made a dollar from an immoral source.
History: Antonia Ellie “Toni” Stark was born in Long Island, New York, to Howard Anthony Stark and Maria Collins Carbonell Stark. In her youth, Toni Stark was a precociously intelligent young girl. When Toni was 7 she was sent to a boarding school, and during this experience she found people difficult to relate to. This was when she became fascinated by machines. By the age of 15 Toni had enrolled in MIT (The Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Boston, Massachusetts. She graduated at the top of her class at age 19 with double masters in physics and engineering.
At the age of 21, her parents were tragically killed in a car accident. Afterwards, Toni inherited Stark Industries, an unparalleled mega-conglomerate that mostly manufactured weapons for the United States military. One of her first projects as the new CEO was to purchase the manufacturer who designed her parents' car and have the faulty brake system, which was seemingly the cause of their deaths, redesigned in order to prevent any further incidents, thus saving lives. Unknown to Stark, the true architect of her parents' deaths was a business move by Republic Oil (later renamed Roxxon Oil).
During the war in Afghanistan, Stark was at one of her munitions plants testing new technology for the military when she was injured by her own land mine that lodged shrapnel near her heart. Toni was then captured by a local warlord named Wong-Chu (a lackey of the Mandarin) and forced under threat of death to create a doomsday weapon for him with another captive, the famed Nobel award-winning physicist, Yin Sen. The shrapnel was going to enter her heart and kill her, but she and the physicist created an arc reactor which kept the sharpnel away from her heart. In response, Toni built a suit of armor to help herself escape captivity. In the suit, Stark took on the warlord and his men and avenged Yin Sen's death, thus Iron Maiden was born.
Back in the United States, Stark redesigned her chest plate, which contained a pacemaker-like device, reducing the chest plate's size and weight so she could wear it under her normal clothing. Required to wear the armor's chest plate at all times to keep her heart alive and beating, Stark decided to put the rest of the armor to regular use as well.
After redesigning the entire armored suit to match the lighter chest plate, Stark made the existence of the suit public. She concealed the suit's true origin, as well as the fact that she herself had to wear the chest plate to live. Stark made it known that dhe would soon manufacture the suit, which dhe called "the human machine," for sale to be then public.
Soon afterward, Stark donned one of hrt battle suits in order to prevent thieves from stealing parts from the other copies of it. This experience made her realize that the suit was too dangerous to be made available to the public. The next day Stark revealed what had happened to her in Southeast Asia to John Nivena, her then fiancé. Together they attended a tennis match in Forest Hills, N.Y. that afternoon. Stark brought along her armor, which she was taking to a nearby laboratory for tests. Terrorists who threatened to kill everyone present with a bomb invaded the match. John urged Stark to don the armor to stop the terrorists. Stark did so, captured the terrorists and saved the spectators by throwing herself atop the bomb. Iron Maiden thus publicly became a hero, and Stark had a new sense of purpose, having decided to combat evildoers as Iron Maiden.
Wishing to retain some degree of anonymity, Stark established the fiction that Iron Maiden was her paid bodyguard wearing a suit of armor that she had invented. Only her most trusted aides learned Stark and Iron Maiden were one and the same. At first, Stark used her Iron Maiden identity mostly to combat spies, like the Actor, and criminals who threatened Stark Industries, like the Melter or Mr. Doll.
During this time, the original Crimson Dynamo attacked Stark Industries, but Toni Stark persuaded him to defect. Also, Stark faced off for the first time against the Mandarin, who would become one of her most recurring enemies.
Later, she expanded the scope of her alter ego's activities to battle any force or person who threatened the security of America or the world. Stark was instrumental in the organization and armament of the original global intelligence and law-enforcement agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D.. As Iron Maiden, she became a founding member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the team of super-human champions known as the Avengers. Stark donated her Manhattan mansion to the Avengers for their exclusive use.
During a battle with Thanos who was once again collecting the Infinity gems the mad titan used the space gem on the Iron Maiden to another earth to get her out of his way and making the Avengers less powerful which in turn make them less of a threat.

The next day Stark revealed what had happened to her in Southeast Asia to John Nivena, her then fiancé. Together they attended a tennis match in Forest Hills, N.Y. that afternoon. Stark brought along her armor, which she was taking to a nearby laboratory for tests. Terrorists who threatened to kill everyone present with a bomb invaded the match. John urged Stark to don the armor to stop the terrorists. Stark did so, captured the terrorists and saved the spectators by throwing herself atop the bomb. Iron Maiden thus publicly became a hero, and Stark had a new sense of purpose, having decided to combat evildoers as Iron Maiden.
Wishing to retain some degree of anonymity, Stark established the fiction that Iron Maiden was her paid bodyguard wearing a suit of armor that she had invented. Only her most trusted aides learned Stark and Iron Maiden were one and the same. At first, Stark used her Iron Maiden identity mostly to combat spies, like the Actor, and criminals who threatened Stark Industries, like the Melter or Mr. Doll.
During this time, the original Crimson Dynamo attacked Stark Industries, but Toni Stark persuaded him to defect. Also, Stark faced off for the first time against the Mandarin, who would become one of her most recurring enemies.
Later, she expanded the scope of her alter ego's activities to battle any force or person who threatened the security of America or the world. Stark was instrumental in the organization and armament of the original global intelligence and law-enforcement agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D.. As Iron Maiden, she became a founding member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the team of super-human champions known as the Avengers. Stark donated her Manhattan mansion to the Avengers for their exclusive use.
During a battle with Thanos who was once again collecting the Infinity gems the mad titan used the space gem on the Iron Maiden to another earth to get her out of his way and making the Avengers less powerful which in turn make them less of a threat.
Toni was down in her work shop tinkering around with one of her suits trying to come up with ways to improve it for the next time she might need it. She had the music as loud as could be just the way she liked it. She moved from the suit back to the holo-blueprints she flipped through them until she found what she was looking for then zoomed in on it. While she was working on it Pepper came down the stairs unlocked the door instead of trying to get Toni's attention she flew over and turned off the radio before flying over to Tony “Your late for a lunch date with Steve.” not looking away form the blueprints “That was today?” she asked with out stopping what she was doing. “Yes, you know Steve is going to be mad if you don't go and he will come looking for you.” Toni sighed as the blueprints faded away “Alright I'll take a quick shower and get this over with.” she walked off leaving Pepper behind heading to her room she stripped and jumped into the shower a few minuets later she got out and got dressed in a pair of black slacks and light blue long sleeved button down shirt. Leaving her room she walked down to the garage grabbed a set of keys and hoped into a red sports car and taking off.
It was a short trip to the restaurant she dropped her keys off with the valet before making her way inside and followed the woman to the table where Steve was waiting for her. “Hey Steve, so why did you want to have lunch?” she asked after ordering a whiskey to drink took her sunglasses off and began looking over the menu to see what was good to eat.
