From the start the suave‚ whisky-wielding billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) establishes himself as a strong and likeable character. He made an armoured Humvee journey

For instance‚ when I smell a dish soap these days‚ if it was the kind or fragrance of a dish soap that I used earlier in life‚ then memories of that apartment‚ my partner of that time‚ or my emotional well-being (or lack thereof) will come rushing back to me.
