There are three obvious Tony Stark/Iron Man minifigures in LEGO Marvel 76269 Avengers Tower, but there's a fourth you might have missed.
Characters in the MCU are classic masters of disguise, with some iconic attempts such as Steve Rogers putting on sunglasses to avoid the most skilled spies in the world, or Wanda wearing a baseball cap and becoming completely invisible. In fact, there's one minifigure included in the set whose secret identity you might have missed.
Those who've watched Avengers: Endgame will remember the ruse where Tony Stark impersonated a S.H.I.E.L.D./Hydra agent to get a hold of the Tesseract after the events of the first Avengers movie (with assistance from time-travelling, of course). This version of Tony is featured in the set, although you'd be forgiven for missing it, as his face is covered by his helmet visor in most of the pictures. When the visor slides up, however, you can see the signature Stark goatee on the agent holding the briefcase, just like Tony does in the movie.
This makes Tony Stark the most represented named character in the set, with four minifigure versions of him present: a classic T-shirt wearing version, two Iron Man suits, and his S.H.I.E.L.D. disguise. As a character often touted as the godfather of the MCU, with Iron Man kicking off the enormous cinematic universe back in 2008 (we don't talk about The Incredible Hulk), it makes sense for him to appear as much as he does. Each of the minifigures is distinct enough from the others to warrant each inclusion (cough, Chitauri) and no one deserves it more than Earth's true mightiest hero.
