The Superior Iron Man

Comic Plot And Events
During a confrontation against the Red Skull, who was empowered by Charles Xavier's brain, the Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom cast an inversion spell to alter the moral axis of Skull's mind in order to defeat him. The spell was successful and the Skull was beaten, but it also affected the moral compass of those present in the scene, unleashing the inner evilness and selfishness of numerous heroes.[141] A reinversion spell with the purpose of getting everything back to normal would later be cast, but Tony would avoid it using a special shielding to escape the spell.[142]

Once again egocentric and determined, Iron Man relocated to San Francisco,[143] where he secretly infected the entire city with a dormant new version of the Extremis virus via the water supply, to make the achievement of perfection available for everyone in the city. Using an "Extremis 3.0 app" for phones, the virus could be triggered inside an individual, giving the impression that the virus was downloadable.[144] However, his plan had a second phase. After a month of free Extremis, he started charging each user of his Extremis App $99.99 a day for the renovation of this technology.[145]

After a multitude of battles with several heroic figures, including Daredevil, Pepper Potts, and an artificial intelligence copy of an earlier, non-inverted version of his mind, and the ally-turned-enemy Teen Abomination,[146] Tony's utopian vision for San Francisco fell through on account of a public relations campaign run by Pepper that destroyed the faith that the San Franciscans had in him, vilified Extremis 3.0, and revealed Tony Stark as "the monster [he'd] become", forcing him to work without his friends if he even wanted to secure his vision.



Armor
The Superior Armor was one of Tony's most reliable models, all in respect. This due to the fact that an immense siphon of energy was immersed into the core fabrics of the Armor.

The Armor bonds onto the wearer in a this liquid-like state, which can levitate like a magnet if need be towards the wearer. The wearer can subconsciously control the liquid, which is composed of Graphene-infused alien Symbiote. Once the Armor has fully submerged the wearer in a sort of liquid articulable version of the wearer's body, it returns into a solid Graphene-amped metal-like substance. This form can also be turned and returned on and off at will. Side-effects of donning the Armor is having the wearers eyes glow blue when neutral and red when angered, due to the Symbiote component in the Armor.

During a face-off against Virginia Pepper Potts in her 'Rescue' Armor, she used her Sonic-based attacks from her repulsors on Tony in the Superior Armor in an attempt to shred it off his body. This appeared to work, until Tony revealed later on that Tony was faking the act, and he controlled the armor to look like her attack was having an effect. This shows how realistic the Armor can act, depending on the user's mind strength. In this case, it was Stark who shows very experienced and strong will and mind power.

Tony's Personality
During the 'Superior Iron Man' arc, Tony Stark's personality was a warped version of his old, Death Merchant self, except in his eyes, he was Superior to everyone beneath him. He was much more of a sophisticate, yet easily angered man. The reason his personality returned to the inner evilness beneath the hero character that once was Iron Man was because, in order to defeat the Red Skull an reinversion spell was used, bringing out the pure opposite personalities of everyone in reach, including the X-men and the Avengers. There was another reinversion spell cast to bring the personalities of the X-men and the Avengers back to normal, but Tony managed to Evade the spell and continue his Legacy as the "Merchant of Death".

This is the reason he set up the Extremis app on the unsuspecting residents of San Francisco, all in order to make money. Unfortunately, the public was unaware of the change in Tony's personality, which does not necessarily apply to Dare Devil, who confronted Tony in the Superior Armor to stop all that he was doing in order to save the people of San Francisco. Of course, Iron Man did not agree with his ideas.

Associate Reed Richards, Alias being Mr Fantastic, described Tony's character being, " A future man trapped in the now. A prisoner raging against the slow crawl of human evolution." Although Tony's values lie in the wrong during the events of the SIA, Richards' description is mostly accurate.
