Tony Stark helped create the global empire that is Marvel with the first Iron Man film. He wasn’t a popular hero at the time. He was known, but nowhere near the top. He certainly is now thanks in part to the films and Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal.

Nolan North also does a good job of breathing life into Tony in the Marvel’s Avengers game. He has the same wit and delivery as Downey does in the films. This makes him the comic relief of the game, but on top of actual dialogue, there is a lot of memeable content in the game too. There will be major story spoilers with some these images so beware.

10 The Goober

The idea of a Goober was first introduced in another Marvel property, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In it one version of Peter Parker calls a zip drive a Goober. This scene from the Marvel’s Avengers game plays out a little differently although Tony does have a similar reaction. It would have worked so well to have him say the line, but that might have been too on the nose.

9 Danger Zone

This meme is three references in one. First of all, “Danger Zone” is a classic rock ballad from the 80s. It’s actually part of the Top Gun soundtrack and this prototype Iron Man suit looks a lot like an Air Force costume from that film.

On top of that one can just imagine Tony saying, “Welcome to the Danger Zone” in a similar manner to Archer from the Archer cartoon. He’s obsessed with referencing this line.

8 Dark Void 2

Nolan North, the voice of Tony Stark in the Marvel’s Avengers game, is probably most know for Uncharted. That’s not his first gig but it was seemingly the one that put him on the map. So much so that other companies wanted that “Nathan Drake” voice in their games. Capcom did it with Dark Void which was like Uncharted meets The Rocketeer. The reference here then is that this prototype armor looks similar to the suit in that game.

7 DLC Avengers

This meme is, of course, referencing another meme. Buzz grabbing Woody and looking to the sky from Toy Story is one of the most popular memes out there. The idea here is that Square Enix wants the Marvel’s Avengers game to be a games as a service experience. This means they want to keep it alive as long as possible with DLC characters.

6 Marvel’s Anthem

Another games as a service experience in recent memory was Anthem. It didn’t survive too long for myriad of reasons but there is one thing fans almost unanimously praised: the flight. It was like playing Iron Man. There might not have been much to do but pretending it was a Marvel game was a fun distraction. Tony flying into a storm then from this game felt like a call out to Anthem.

5 Skynet Is Real

Killer robots was not invented with The Terminator films. That said it was the thing that seemingly popularized them.

Whenever technology goes haywire in reality, Skynet is jokingly blamed. That’s how big of an influence it was. AIM is no Skynet, but Tony could have definitely made the reference upon the satellite’s discovery.

4 Dead Space Reboot

This entire space sequence is chock full of memeable content. Would it not be a great idea for a video game if EA teamed up with Square Enix to make a new Dead Space game? Tony is the perfect character for the job since he too is an engineer just like Isaac from that series. Plus he also has a super suit. An homage DLC pack to the Marvel’s Avengers game would be nice too.

3 The Vault

This is the biggest reveal of the game. Everyone knew from minute one that Captain America was still alive. The game advertised him as being playable along with his death. It wasn’t a hard riddle to figure out. How he was going to come back was the question. Anyway, the space pod he was locked up in is reminiscent of when Anakin gets operated on in Star Wars Episode III to become Darth Vader.

2 Hug Me

These are the actual lines in the Marvel’s Avengers game. They are too good to mess with. Like the films, the game has dozens of great lines like this that could go toe to toe with anything from those movies. It was a cute moment to be sure seeing as how Tony is always trying to be the kidder to hide his feelings. At least that’s what Robert Downey Jr. brought to the iconic superhero.

1 Weird Moon

Last, but not least, one more Star Wars reference. In the actual game these two are sent adrift, staring into the grand cosmos. It could be fun to throw anything next to this image. The baby from 2001: A Space Odyssey would also make for a killer meme. Since Star Wars was already referenced, this version is more thematically on point.
