Gen, Futurefic - Iron Man is a hereditary hero.

[anonymous]

(This is spitting in the face of so much comic book canon, but dammit it's my fanon and it makes sense to me!)

After Tony gets too old to fight/dies, the title and task of "Iron Man" is taken up by his and Pepper's child.
Thus, it becomes the new Stark family profession - there's one (sometimes two) in each subsequent generation of genius-billionaire-whatevers who get trained by both SHIELD and the previous IM in the arts of asskickery - once they confirm that yes, this is what they really want to do and damn the danger and risk factors.

So give us snapshots of the armored Starks throughout the generations, as they kick ass in their own flashy and fantastic ways.

Possible scenarios/things to include:
- Tony made an imprint/double of his mind to function as the suit's AI, essentially ensuring that he'll be there to guide and insult all his heroic descendents.

- The latest IM being super nervous before their first official solo mission, and AI!Tony talking them down from their panic attack.

- Even though many keep the classic red-and-gold scheme of Tony's suit to honor his memory, some of the later IM's change the suit's paint job to colours more their taste (Red/black, solid silver, green/gold...).

- The world's reaction to the first Iron Woman/youngest Iron Man

- The non-super Starks still making huge scientific in engineering/energy/spacefaring/medicine/ALL THE SCIENCE.
