* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Played straight, although Tony himself wouldn't agree: he gave thousands of people access to a version of Extremis - a body-altering technology - that made them physically perfect... but then it turned out it only lasted for 24 hours, and you had to buy new increments for $99 a day. Superior Tony just considers this good business.

* WaterSourceTampering: Tony's plan involves infecting people with Extremis via the water supply.

!!Tropes appearing in ''Superior Iron Man''
* AtrociousAlias: Tony is less than amused by "Teen Abomination", pointing out that he will eventually age out of it.
* TheBadGuyWins: The series ends with Tony successfully crushing everyone who opposes him and maintaining his public image.
* PerfectionIsAddictive: Extremis, a techno-virus that can turn anyone into an idealized version of themself, starts charging $99.99 a day after a free trial. This makes people desperate to regain their "perfect" forms, even resorting to crime to pay the fee.

* VillainProtagonist: Evil!Tony is very much this. The real heroes are his opposing forces, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} and ComicBook/PepperPotts.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: It isn't public knowledge that Tony's personality was inverted, a fact that he exploits for his own benefit. As far as the public knows, he's just a philanthropist generously providing Extremis to everyone with a smart device.
