(Iron Man breakdown is based only on the movie.)
Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, was born into an extremely wealthy family; his father was a rich inventor
like Stark himself and because of this Stark became accustomed to the
fast-paced, greedy, self-centered lifestyle that we see him living in
the beginning of the movie. He is very intelligent and uses this to create weapons to protect the American people. Although
this may seem heroic, he is completely oblivious that they are being
used for different purposes and only when he is kidnapped and shown the
horrors that his weapons have caused. Does he realize his call to journey (to
become Iron Man and destroy the weapons he created). His kidnapping is a
vital point to our hero's journey because it marks a turning point in
how our hero thinks. He in a way gives up his "bad boy" persona and
becomes more considerate and caring for others. He begins working on his
suit then completes parlous tasks like saving towns that were being
ravaged by evil men. Meanwhile he acquires an enemy, Jebediah, who wants
to take over Stark Enterprises. Tony then uncovers knowledge that
Jebediah was behind his kidnapping and the selling of his weapons to
terrorists so he has to stop him. He of course does, and comes away with
the knowledge that he really is a caring person underneath the mask he
wears in public.
