* ActionGirl: Black Widow

to:

* ActionGirl: Black Widow
Widow appears in this film, and she's one of the agents (alongside Hawkeye) sent by Nick Fury after Tony. In one scene, she manages to catch The Punisher by surprise, wrapping his neck with rope when he thought she would easily surrender to him.
* AdaptationDistillation AdaptationDistillation:



* AdvertisedExtra: Punisher is only in the movie for about ten minutes and he has little impact on the plot. He gives Tony some intel and hangs around for one fight scene; that's it.

to:

* AdvertisedExtra: AdultsAreUseless: Defied. As soon as Tony figured out that his adversary, Ezekiel Stane, is just a kid (as he puts it, Ezekiel is like a "petulant child throwing a tantrum"), Tony tries to reason out with him during their next one-on-one encounter, outright saying that it's an adult's responsibility to help the young ones.

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Helicarrier gets [[Film/TheAvengers2012 attacked again]] when Ezekiel managed to escape and hacks into the ship's computers, taking control over it, the Howard satellite, and a number of [[KillSat Kill Sats]] in preparation for TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. And he manages to send the Helicarrier [[spoiler: crashing into Shanghai when he loses control of his own body.]] Doesn't help that he used the same trick Loki used to get on the Helicarrier.

to:

* BigBad: Ezekiel Stane.
Stane is the suspicious white-armored individual who's using some kind of advanced technology, responsible for killing people and blowing Rhodes inside the building ([[spoiler:though Rhodes survives]]). He's Obadiah Stane's son, but has a [[AGodAmI god-complex]] thinking he's surpassed humanity. The final act of the film has him attempting to use the Technovore [[spoiler:to create his ideal version of the world, but not before the Technovore "betrayed" him and turned him into a monster]].

** ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is mentioned, albeit indirectly. When Ezekiel starts comparing humans as if they're "dinosaurs" or relics from the past, Tony jokingly says he knows a guy from the 40's.

to:

* NoodleIncident: Not This isn't the first time Tony asked Pepper for help during her vacation.



* NotSoStoic: Ezekiel Stane.

to:

* NotSoStoic: Ezekiel Stane.Stane is mostly seen as an emotionless or stoic kid, especially when he's killing people, mocking humanity, and bragging about his Technovore technology in a [[AGodAmI god-complex]] way. But when [[spoiler:the Technovore starts acting up and when he gets turned into a monstrous bioweapon before the final battle]], Ezekiel is visibly panicking. Tony even subtly [[LampshadeHanging notices that something is wrong]] when he personally sees Ezekiel distressed.


Added DiffLines:

* OutsideContextProblem: After his first encounter with Ezekiel, Tony couldn't figure out what kind of "advanced techonology" (the Technovore) is Ezekiel using, which is why he needed help and information gathering from Pepper. He even lampshades whether or not it's comparable to the previous adversaries he faced, and they both wonder if Advanced Idea Mechanics is involved.


Added DiffLines:

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Rhodes jokingly says he [[spoiler:may have "overslept" before arriving to aid Tony against the Technovore, considering how he was basically comatose for a while]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Rhodes is actually still alive, albeit in a critical condition, when Tony thought he was dead in the explosion that happened near the beginning of the film.]]


Added DiffLines:

* SayMyName: When Tony's allies realize that [[spoiler:he's planning to perform a HeroicSacrifice to stop the Technovore, Rhodes briefly struggles with the decision to fire the laser satellite. Though he goes along with it]], Rhodes shouts "Tony!" [[spoiler:as the laser reaches its target]].


Added DiffLines:

* WhamLine: One of Tony's methods for gathering information on the BigBad involves hilariously snatching a suspect's phone. When he scrolls through the list of contacts, he immediately notices "Ezekiel Stane". The surname rings a bell for him, as he [[Film/IronMan1 previously killed Obadiah Stane]]. Sure enough, Tony's main adversary in this film is Obadiah's son.
