One common challenge is dealing with limited resources. He might be in a situation where he doesn't have access to his usual high - tech equipment and has to improvise. Another is facing a villain who has technology that can counter his Iron Man suit.
Often, he has to deal with distrust from the public or the government. They might be afraid of his power and try to stop him from doing what he needs to do to save the world. Also, in some fanfictions, he has to battle his own physical and mental limitations. The stress of saving the world can take a toll on his health and sanity.
In fanfiction, Tony Stark sometimes faces the challenge of working with a team that has different ideologies. For instance, some superheroes might have a more conservative approach while he is more of a risk - taker. This can lead to conflicts within the team that he has to resolve while also trying to save the world. And there are times when he has to face an enemy that is constantly evolving and adapting to his strategies, making it very difficult for him to come up with a final solution.
One challenge could be the strength of the enemy. If the enemy is very powerful, it would be difficult for Aang to overcome them alone. Another challenge might be the lack of resources. He may need certain items or help from others to save the Airbenders but not be able to get them easily.
One challenge could be the strength of the Kumo ninjas. They are known for being tough. Naruto might have to face some powerful jutsu from them. Another challenge could be the distance. If Kushina is held deep in Kumo territory, it would be hard for Naruto to reach her without being detected.
One challenge could be the time - warping effect of the casino. Time moves differently there, and Percy has to fight against getting caught up in it himself while trying to find Nico. Another might be the various distractions, like the all - you - can - eat buffets and the never - ending games that are designed to keep people inside.
Robin may also face internal challenges. For instance, if he's doubting his own abilities or if he's emotionally affected by seeing Starfire in danger. This could cloud his judgment and slow down his reaction time. And if Red X has some sort of new weapon or power that Robin is not aware of, that would be another significant challenge in his mission to save Starfire.
In this fanfiction, Peter may face the challenge of finding Tony in the first place. Siberia is a vast area. He might have to rely on his spider - sense or some clues to track Tony down. Additionally, if there are other superheroes or anti - hero characters in the area, they could either help or hinder Peter's mission. And, of course, the physical condition of Tony when Peter finds him could also be a big challenge. If Tony is severely injured, Peter has to figure out how to transport him to safety while being chased by enemies.
Perhaps the plot twist is that Gregory Stark is from an alternate universe where the rules of physics and technology are different. His methods of saving Tony Stark seem strange and dangerous at first, but in the end, they lead to a revolutionary breakthrough in both Stark's personal technology and the way the world views superheroes.
The Kumo ninjas could also be working in a coordinated way. They might have a strategy to isolate Naruto and keep him away from Hinata. Naruto has to break through their formation. And if the Kumo ninjas have some sort of intel on Naruto's abilities, they could plan their attacks accordingly. So Naruto has to be constantly on his toes and come up with new tactics to overcome these challenges and save Hinata.
One major challenge would be understanding the magical world. Tony Stark is a man of science, and magic operates on very different principles. He'd have to learn about spells, potions, and magical creatures. Another challenge could be dealing with the wizarding community. They have their own traditions and laws, and Stark might find it difficult to fit in or make sure Harry follows all the rules. Also, protecting Harry from magical threats might be tough for Stark as his technology might not always work against magic.
He'd face public distrust. People might be worried that his billionaire - playboy - philanthropist attitude would carry over into his presidency and he'd make rash decisions.
One challenge is getting their personalities right. Tony is a brilliant but often egotistical tech - genius, while Natasha is a highly trained and mysterious spy. It's hard to make sure their interactions are in line with their established characters. Another challenge is creating a believable relationship between them. Given their different backgrounds and roles in the Avengers, it's not easy to write a smooth transition from colleagues to something more. Also, coming up with original plot ideas that haven't been overdone in the already large pool of fanfiction can be difficult.
