21. Tony Stark
Iron Man
Iron Man is the greatest superhero movie. Too bad Iron Man is pretty boring. Even for someone who can shoot missiles and fly and all that, he can't match the charm and charisma of his alter-ego Tony Stark.
A quick-witted billionaire playboy with a love of women and a good hand at engineering. As opposed to a Batman or Spider-Man, Tony Stark has no real internal conflicts (although in the comics he becomes an alcoholic and was also pretty much responsible for Captain America's death), he's just a friendly asshole who loves cracking wise.
Yet another testament to actor (and actual Iron Man fan) Robert Downey Jr.'s abilities. Being able to make the guy who fires missles the less interesting of the two has to take a lot of skills, and Downey's penchant for improvised burns and ability to make digs at his own shady past (something both Downey and Stark deal with) show once again that Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor.
Defining moment: His final press conference, where he declares that he is Iron Man.
