'Jeopardy!' Pays Tribute to Tony Stark With Iron Man Nickname Category

Fans are still mourning the loss of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, and while he might be reprising his character in an animated series soon, we know we will likely never get to see him in a live-action film again. As you know by now, Tony Stark gave the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, and since then, the MCU fandom has been nostalgic about all things Iron Man.

Luckily for us, this means that homages to Downey's legendary role are popping up everywhere.

ComicBook.com reports that so many people miss the quick-witted superhero, that Jeopardy! decided to honor the fallen character in a hilarious way. In the video below, the fan-favorite game show's Twitter revealed that one of their categories this week was “Nicknames From Tony Stark.”

The contestants knocked the questions out of the park, and while they obviously took the challenge seriously, it was giggle-worthy to hear longtime host Alex Trebek read questions like, “Tony’s name for this Web-Slinging hero is Underoos” or “Hawkeye gets this moniker of a Lord of the Rings archer.”

Trebek even asked the question, “Tony calls Loki by the title of this 2009 Broadway musical about 1980s hair bands.” While this gives us fans the warm-and-fuzzies, I’m sure the God of Mischief would have a few choice words to say about that.

Though we all miss the clever hero dearly, it is great to know that his legacy lives on, even on iconic game shows.
