Top Ten Quotes from Marvel Studios' Iron Man

This list compiles the best individual quotes from the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 2008's 'Iron Man'.
The Top Ten
1 "The truth is... I am Iron Man." - Tony Stark

Words that would change the landscape of superhero movies (primarily the MCU) forever. From that moment on, it became standard for superheroes' secret identities to be known to the public. Of course, some characters (like Peter Parker's Spider-Man) still stick to keeping their identities secret.

2 "I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative." - Nick Fury

I give you the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

3 "They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far." - Tony Stark
4 "How ironic, Tony! Trying to rid the world of weapons, you gave it its best one ever! And now, I'm going to kill you with it!" - Obadiah Stane
5 "Yeah, I can fly." - Tony Stark
6 "Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing." - Tony Stark

One of the funniest lines ever.

7 "Next time, baby." - Col. James Rhodes

Exciting words to hear for fans hoping to see War Machine take flight, only we all now know it was never meant to be for the original 'Rhodey' actor, Terrence Howard, who spoke the line. But, I'd say nobody's complaining about Don Cheadle taking over the role (he was, after all, the actor Marvel originally wanted for the role).

8 "Just call us S.H.I.E.L.D." - Agent Coulson

Another big line setting up an exciting future for the franchise.

9 "Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but it's kind of provocative, the imagery anyway." - Tony Stark
10 "I'm sorry. This is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there." - Tony Stark
The Contenders
11 "And I.. Am... Iron Man" - Tony Stark
12 "I refuse" - Tony Stark
