Tony Stark's Inventions

inventions extraordinaire

The inventive mind of Tony Stark has produced a magnificent array of dazzling machines, devices, and gizmos (and more than a few personal fortunes). Chief among Stark's technical triumphs is, of course, the Iron Man armor, the symbol of Stark International and his personal bodyguard. But his genius has also produced numerous amazing machines and processes. Here are just a few:

Incredible transistors and revolutionary microcircuits

Louisville-Slugger-sized grenade cannons

Jet-powered roller skates (enable an entire infantry to move down the highway at 60 m.p.h.)

Heat-seeking anti-aircraft missiles

Napalm gel fragmentation grenades (shoulder-fired from a companion launcher

Laser-guided 50 lb shell canon (guided by a command satellite and 1 million small, coordinating satellites it could home in on the body heat of the enemy)

Tabletop television (under a conference table)

Anti-Missile Missile Gun (multiple salvos)

Stark Moon Vehicle (tank-like moon tractor)

Image projector (holographic comm. system; sends the image of the speaker anywhere for two-way communication)

Deep-Sea Jet Bathyscaph prototype (experimental vehicle loaned to Avengers)

Artillery Computer

Transistor-powered Ejector (for scientists working in atomic labs; as soon as radiation is detected by the photo-electric cells, it ejects a rapidly unwinding spool of lead foil which wraps itself around the radiation source—tethered to a lead-coated inflatable balloon to secure the radioactive object)

Power Ray (fires a capsule with an acid-based solvent)

Transistorized Foxhole Digger

Geiger-Counter Missile (hand-held, its on-board instruments scan the earth to track/find radioactivity)

Anti-Freeze Pills (aid in arctic exploration)

Cosmitronic cannon (takes cosmic rays found in the atmosphere and harnesses them for a variety of uses)

Computerized fire-fighting system (installed at S.I.'s Long Island plant)

Para-gravity deflector (A.K.A. Rescue-jet, a one-man space escape device)

Stark Satellite One (another Stark space satellite)

Atomic piledriver (a hammering machine capable of pounding through mountains)

Numerous intelligence systems for the U.S. Government (presumably hardware and software)

High level communications gear and automated security devices for the U.S. Government

Designed the security systems inside Mount Thunder (NORAD)

Designed the Guidance Systems in our ICBM's

Multiple patents for aeronautic instruments and controls

The Avengers' Quinjets

Developed an electro-therapy technique to helped crippled people

Memory extractor

Voice-activated elevator

The Avengers' Land Cruiser (a hovercraft-like vehicle)

Jupiter Landing Vehicle

Jet carts (for transport on S.I.'s Long Island campus)

Electrosthetic conductor (an alternative to conventional anesthetics it uses sound waves to calm the body's electronic impulses)

Sonic borer (a low-heat new drilling method for deep sea drilling rigs)

Energizer link (the revolutionary main component of the sonic borer)

Assorted commercial security systems (including proximity alarms)

V-TOL craft (with integrated radar-bending stealth system)

Mechanical Mole (drilling rig capable of boring its own tunnels)

S-Matrix Theory Circuitry (commercial application from armor)

Produced the vital circuit design for the video game "Circus of Monsters"

The space shuttle Sky Hop 1

Ad Astra (the first privately funded space station, built to the tune of $500 Million)

V-TOL aircraft prototype Redbird I with new guidance system for NASA (cost = $30 Million)

Micro-dryer, can dry hair in seconds

Hearing-aid-size micro-cassette recorder

Running shoes equipped with health monitor probe

Attack Warning System for U.S. Dept. of Defense

Astro Star satellite

Holographic imaging transfer camera (allows someone to appear as someone else on TV)

Stark flying wing

Anti-grav mobility unit (a $2 Million anti-grav “wheelchair”)

Changing machine (capable of dressing an invalid Stark, machine could even suggest the right clothes based on weather)

Invented the precursor to modern-day search engines and Web crawling software

Holo-Communicator wristwatch


I-Copter (combat chopper)

Riot-control contacts (had magnesium flares nano-teched onto the front of polarized contact lenses, intended for cops on riot control)

Solid air (a patented type of force-field launched from small spheres, like ball bearings)

Kinetic intake converter (an energy field; the more one moves, the more one fights, the more it pulls you in)



HUD Sunglasses (provide Tony the ability to record all he sees, take vitals, get readouts, etc. Also employs lie detection software.)
























































































































































Beyond the fantastic armor of his vaunted bodyguard, Tony Stark has also built specialized equipment for a number of super heroes including Captain America's early Avengers-era shield. (After installing special magnets and Stark's sub-miniature transistors, the shield could be controlled remotely. Stark also added the most advanced comm. system he could build, integrating it into the shield’s slim profile.) Later he would build a silver shield for The Captain a.k.a. Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America, Captain America's later (replacement) shield, U.S. Agent's armor (with gauntlet-mounted photon shields/blasters), Hawkeye's arrows, and of course, the War Machine armor.

Stark has also designed and built numerous weapons and gadgets for the ultra-secret Supreme Headquarter Intelligence Espionage Law enforcement Division (SHIELD), most notably the SHIELD Helicarrier (a massive, one-mile long flying base). Other devices include: Rocket ram; Nick Fury's flying car and pistol; Thermal-shocker Class-A missile interceptor (a tank-like weapon, at the time the biggest gun made, short of an A-bomb); Mandroids.
