Tony Stark is a multimillionaire playboy, CEO of his own company Stark International, and a founding member of the Avengers. After falling victim to a near-fatal accident that logded a piece of shrapnel in his chest, Stark built a suit of armor while in captivity to save his life and became the hero known as Iron Man. Over the years, Stark has battled against many foes wishing to steal the Iron Man technology, and has also suffered from alcoholism. With the departure of Steve Rogers, Tony has stepped into the role as the Avengers' leader and chairman.
IRON MAN
Originally in Stark's secretarial pool, Virginia "Pepper" Potts was hired as Stark's personal assistant after she fixed an accounting error he made. At first having a romantic interest in Tony, Pepper originally fell in love with and married Happy Hogan. The two adopted children but later had them taken away by child services and they divorced soon after. After Stark returned from seeming death, Pepper and Happy began working for him again and rekindled their relationship. But they've recently met with more difficulties as of late, culminating in the miscarriage of their unborn child.
PEPPER POTTS
A former soldier as well as a mercenary, James "Rhodey" Rhodes has long been a close friend to Tony Stark. On more than one occasion, Rhodes even took control of the Iron Man armor, serving as Stark's substitute and even running Stark Industries for a time. Eventually, Rhodey was given the War Machine, his own suit of armor, which he used both as a solo hero and as a member of the West Coast Avengers. Although he had retired from superheroics, Rhodes has recently suited up as War Machine once more to join Nomad's new Secret Avengers unit, albeit unbeknownst to Tony.
JIM RHODES
Chief of security for Stark Enterprises, Harold "Happy" Hogan is a former boxer with a history of losing fights. After he saved Tony Stark's life, Tony hired him as his chauffeur and personal assistant, eventually learning Stark's identity as Iron Man. After being exposed to cobalt rays a few times, Hogan has been transformed into a savage, superhumanly strong creature called the Freak. He eventually married Pepper Potts, but the two divorced and have had numerous problems since getting back together, culminating in Happy drinking excessively and Pepper miscarrying their child.
HAPPY HOGAN
After Jocasta sacrified herself to defeat Ultron, Tony replaced his armor's onboard artificial intelligence with one of his own design, called Friday. That AI has since been upgraded, replaced by one which Stark has named Maria after his late mother. Maria serves as a resource for Tony, providing him with information as needed and handling communications as well as updates on his vital signs and his armor systems.
