Tony Stark is Steve Johnson in a different life

Darrell Green

I was watching Steve Johnson in the plastic bag monsters lesson and it hit me that Downey, when playing Tony Stark, was simply channeling Steve Johnson.... if Steve designed weapons of mass destruction instead of fx. He listens to everything, gauging what it is you really want and then formulates a plan on how to get you that or better and does so with utter confidence, while snacking. Now I just need to get him to say "I ... am... Iron Man."
