Powers/Abilties: Tony is a jack of all trades and master of more than even he can list. He is a certified genius, which lends him the ability to pick up even extremely difficult concepts literally overnight. He is a master mechanic, engineer, and builder and has no trouble figuring out how something works if left alone with it for more than a few minutes. He is also a genius when it comes to computers, and even without JARVIS's help, he would have no trouble doing difficult (and sometimes less than legal) tasks.
Tony speaks several languages. Among the ones he speaks fluently are Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Japanese, German, and Arabic; he also knows the basics in many, many more.
Howard Stark made the family fortune designing weapons for the military, and Tony grew up to carry on his father's legacy. He knows his way around most weapons systems and is an excellent shot with most ranged weapons. Even if it isn't one he designed himself, he will likely be able to take it apart, put it back together more efficiently, and blow out the center of a target on the first try.
Tony is much better with machines than people, but he has some basic medical skills, mostly picked up in trying to take care of himself and avoid letting doctors get near the reactor. This knowledge includes drawing blood, giving injections, taking a person's blood pressure and pulse, and stitching minor wounds.
Tony practices mixed martial arts, though it's nearly impossible to tell which specific ones he's thrown into the blender. Most of his fighting in the suit is done from a distance, but he can fight up close and personally in it, too, and would likely be able to take care of himself in a hand-to-hand fight without the armor.
Tony builds and operates armored suits dubbed by the press as "Iron Man". Tony is an excellent pilot of said suits, having been using them for just over three years. His physical strength means he has little trouble maneuvering in the suits despite their weight, and his extreme intelligence gives him the ability to think quickly on his feet and react immediately to situations as they arise in combat.
