It is in the nature of superheroes to be aspirational figures for everyone. Their traits are enough to not just inspire us, but also deal with different adversities in our lives. However, there are some superheroes who tend to live modest lives at least some of the time. Some of these Superheroes not just save lives, but also work day jobs, as well as go to University for a degree.

Tony Stark, or the invincible Iron Man, is one of the smartest characters in the Marvel universe. In saying so, it comes as no surprise that he graduated from the top-ranked university in the world. Stark is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduate. The MIT connection of the character is evident even in the film. This is because Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark can be seen wearing his school ring, a.k.a the Brass Rat, in multiple scenes in Iron Man.

In the comics, Tony Stark earned two master’s degrees in engineering by the time he was 19. However, there are sources which suggest that he received doctorates in engineering physics and artificial intelligence.
