While Captain America is technically the first Avenger, Iron Man was the first on film. As part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Iron Man took the entire franchise to a global audience; mostly thanks to the stellar performance of Robert Downey Junior (a.k.a RDJ) as Tony Stark.
In commemoration of Avengers: EndGame which is finally coming out (we’re very very stoked), we thought it would be fitting to feature the Avenger that started it all on-screen and we’ve brought back very limited quantities of our Tony socks for sale on our website.
As one of the founding members of the Avengers, Tony is unique in the sense that he did not have any super powers nor was he an Asgardian God. And yet, with his vast intellect, affinity for engineering and deep pockets, Tony was able to transform himself into a powerful superhero by building the Iron Man armour.
