Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, has always been the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s iconic genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
But one of his lesser-discussed talents? Being an adept power mimic!
From Thor’s godly abilities to Ant-Man’s size-shifting tech, Stark has incorporated a bit of everything into his suits or his devices.
Let’s get right into every Avenger power Tony adapted to enhance his Iron Man armor up to “Endgame.”

Thor’s Mjolnir Recall
Enchanted hammers aren’t just for Norse gods.
After witnessing Thor summon Mjolnir from afar, Tony integrated similar “call” technology into his Iron Man suits, allowing him to summon his armor pieces from any distance.
This innovation brought a whole new level of readiness and adaptability to the Iron Man arsenal.
Hulk’s Brute Strength
Recognizing the raw power of the Hulk but also the unpredictability, Tony, alongside Bruce Banner, developed the Hulkbuster armor.
While not as innately strong as the Hulk, this specialized suit was sturdy enough to go toe-to-toe with the green giant and even manage to knock him out.
Captain America’s Shield Defense
Inspired by Captain America’s iconic shield, Tony added a shield function to his own suit.
After losing the battle with Captain America and reclaiming his shield during “Civil War,” Stark came up with a shield for his suit later in “End Game.”
In the showdown with Cull Obsidian, Tony Stark, donning his Mark 50 armor, deployed not one, but two distinct shield variations.
The first shield materialized with a traditional circular form, reminiscent of Captain America’s iconic defense.
While the second shield took a different approach, showcasing a more expansive and dynamically shaped barrier, tailored for a broader range of protection.
Captain America’s Combat Skills
Not one to be physically outmatched, Tony used his suit’s AI, FRIDAY, to analyze and adapt to Captain America’s fighting style in real-time during “Civil War.”
This quick adaptability allowed Iron Man to counter Cap’s moves more effectively, showcasing Tony’s tactical genius.
Spider-Man’s Web-Slinging
Although Tony didn’t adopt web-slinging for himself, he recognized the utility and potential of the technology.
He refined and incorporated web fluid with a lot of add-ons into Spider-Man’s suit, enhancing Peter Parker’s swinging and combat capabilities.
Wakanda’s Transparent Shields
The advanced technology of Wakanda didn’t escape Tony’s notice.
After seeing the Wakandan shields in action, he incorporated a similar transparent shield into his armor, providing an additional layer of protection that’s as high-tech as it gets.
Ant-Man’s Quantum Realm Exploration
Finally, Tony harnessed the power of Ant-Man’s quantum realm exploration.
By understanding and adapting Pym Particles technology, Tony developed the quantum suits, enabling the Avengers to embark on their time-traveling mission in “Endgame.”
Last Words
Tony Stark’s ability to observe, adapt, and incorporate the strengths of his fellow Avengers into his technology showcases not just his genius but his respect for his teammates’ capabilities.
Each adaptation not only enhanced his suit but also symbolized the unity and strength of the Avengers as a whole.
Tony Stark may have been Iron Man, but in his heart, he was truly an Avenger, learning from and fighting alongside the best.
