Every Nickname Robert Downey Jr. Gave to Avengers Cast and the Meaning Behind Them

When Iron Man isn’t busy saving the universe or building tech that makes Alexa look basic, he’s dropping nicknames like they’re hot. And after around 11 films featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, we’ve realized that he’s the king of sass, sarcasm, and savage one-liners.
So, with his laser-sharp wit and pop culture brain that rivals any BuzzFeed quiz-taker, Tony Stark gave his fellow Avengers the funniest (and sometimes shady) nicknames ever. From calling Thor “Point Break” to roasting Rocket as “Build-a-Bear,” Stark’s zingers were more powerful than the Infinity Stones. So buckle up, as we dive into each of those hilarious nicknames.
