Biography
Tony Stark was originally a billionaire playboy. After the death of his parents Howard and Maria Stark in a plane crash, Tony was thrust into the family business of weapons development, where his genius made him one of the foremost military contractors on the globe, eventually leading to his kidnapping by Vietnamese revolutionary Wong-Chu in an attack leading to a piece of shrapnel getting embedded in Stark's chest. In order to keep the shrapnel from piercing his heart, Stark worked with fellow captive Ho Yinsen to build an advanced pacemaker as well as a high tech battle suit, allowing him to fight his way through the Communist revolutionaries, though Yinsen is killed in the escape. Returning home after his extended captivity, Stark began to update the suit, and decided that his time in captivity had exposed him to the reality of his business, inspiring him to use his suit to fight crime and save lives.

 * Iron Man is very experienced in combat, but Vader is somewhat wiser and was trained by the Jedi Order themselves.
 * Iron Man has a larger array of abilities, but they are all to do with his suit, and Vader's connection with the Force is extremely powerful and would give him a huge advantage in the fight.
