So you might have went to see the Avengers this summer. Watching Thor and Captain America, Hulk and Hawkeye or Black Widow. Even Tony Stark – aka Iron Man. Maybe you wished there was an actual Iron man? Well maybe there was…

The group at Online Graduate Programs put this infographic together of a man who could be considered as the real life Tony Stark. While Elon Musk has not built a metal flying suit or replaced his heart with a small reactor, it really is only a matter of time before he does.

Elon was born in South Africa in 1971. He was programming software from his computer at the age of 12. When he left home in 1988, he joined the South African military. After that, he moved to Canada, then the US as a student of the University of Pennsylvania.

His first major software acquisition was when Alta Vista purchased Zip2 for $307 million.

Since then, Musk went on to create Paypal, the first electric car in Tesla Motors, and now is co-founding SpaceX.

So is Elon our answer to Tony Stark? Well, check out this Infographic and decide for yourself.
