He recently read from the Darkhold, a grimoire whose pages contain black magic. Within the lore of the Marvel Universe, the Darkhold is among the most powerful magic artifacts in existence. The book was created by the elder god Cthon an allusion to H. Lovecraft's Cthulhu and so it is associated with some of the most vile aspects of sorcery and cosmic horror featured in the Marvel Universe. Anyone who reads from it can be granted visions or great power, but risks their very soul being twisted into a perverse corruption of its former self.
The Darkhold showed Tony Stark a vision of himself building his second Iron Man suit after he returned from his original captivity. This alternate version of the Mark II armor did more than just keep him alive.
It also repaired tissue damage. What is more, the computer processor could sync up with his brain's neural patterns. However, it came at a great cost. When he first tried to remove the glove from the suit, his skin came off with it. The suit was designed both to heal and protect his body. It had concluded that his skin was a human weakness and fused to his hand, leaving him trapped inside.
Thankfully, Tony had put on the rest of the suit a while after the glove and was able to remove the rest of it. He and Pepper Potts worked tirelessly on software and hardware updates to fix the problems.
That means the majority of people who are exposed to traumatic stressors do not develop PTSD. Soldiers returning from recent military combat zones have nearly double risk.
Well, certain factors can increase the risk of developing this problem, including repeated exposure to threatening events. This may mean that the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms may occur only after a certain threshold of experiences are met. Tony certainly seems to have a high threshold. In the first Iron Man film, for instance, before developing the Mk 1 armor, Tony is visiting Afghanistan to represent his weapons development company.
Finally, during the climax of the film, the massive arc reactor explodes, knocking Tony unconscious and killing the villainous Obadiah Stane.
In a single movie, Tony is exposed to nearly 5 clinically defined traumatic events. Iron Man 2 includes several more traumas one could catalog, including a near fatal car accident on the Grand Prix racetrack. Not to mention Whiplash. Despite exposure to multiple traumas, we see few signs of post-traumatic stress responses throughout the previous Iron Man movies and The Avengers.
With determination to build a second, better suit and a new vision about how he wants to contribute to society, Tony is remarkably focused and psychologically sound at this point in his life. Similarly, in Iron Man 2 , Tony realizes he is suffering from a chronic, life-threatening stressor in the form of a medical crisis. By the end of IM2 , Tony is described by S. Psychologically speaking, one of the most poignant moments in The Avengers is when Bruce Banner and Tony Stark connect over many of their similar attributes while meeting in the S.
Tony and Bruce see themselves in one another: misunderstood, highly intellectual, and both conflicted by their superhero potential. His superhero self comes with dangers he cannot reconcile with its heroism.
The suit symbolizes a constant threat. Travels the World. Unlike Banner—who has yet to accept both the responsibilities and the risks associated with being Hulk—Stark has come to a point where he has accepted the fact that the countless dangers, threats, and sacrifices he will have to make as long as he is dedicated to his superhero self will ultimately define him. The heroic lifestyle comes with a price. The very suit that protects him is a reminder that he is broken.
Fear of Fear: Unexplained Panic Attacks Exposure to a traumatic event can often explain the presence of nonspecific sudden symptoms, such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tremors, nausea, insomnia, or unexplained physical pain. In Iron Man 3 , Tony exhibits many of these symptoms. His panic attacks are characterized by hyperventilation, heart palpitations, and something called derealization—the feeling like you are outside of your body or that your surroundings are unreal.
Actually, even with the absence of any trauma, many of us will experience at least one panic attack like this in our lifetime. However, avoidance of anxiety actually builds more anxiety. He cannot form words or see properly. He experiences sudden dizziness, shortness of breath, and a feeling of being trapped. Imminent danger. Actor Robert Downey Jr. He started playing this role back in with the first Iron Man film, and he has made Iron Man come to life in a total of 10 Marvel movies, with a cameo in an 11th.
Downey Jr. Considering that he only made half a million dollars for the first Iron Man movie, it seems clear that this pay is evidence of just how much Marvel values him. Hmmm… TeamStark avengers endgame. Official robertdowneyjr on Mar 29, at pm PDT. We can look at Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the franchise, as an example.
