Underestimated Tony/ Non-human Tony/ Bamf Tony ;)

Hey y'all! Okay, so I know I am going to spectacularly fail at this; I am new to this community and this is my first post, so please be nice to me!! :)

Okay, well I hope you guys can help me: I'm looking for fics which are mostly Tony-centric, with him being majorly underestimated... Like, he is secretly kick-ass, but people don't know/realize because they can't get past arragant exteria...
I would also like Tony with powers, or awesome abilities of some sort... maybe Extremis!Tony, Mutant!Tony, Assassin!Tony, Hacker!Tony, Doctor!Tony... Basically anything like that!! I have to say I do like angst, but I don't mind either way.
I know this all sounds super vague, but it would be awesome if any of you guys could help me out!

I don't mind gen or het but I do lean more towards slash... ;)

Thank you!!

Okay, late edit but I literally just figured out how to!! Many MANY thanks for all the incredibly awesome responses, I am still feeling slightly overwhelmed by the sheer awesomeness of it all, you guys rock!!
More fic recs are still forever welcomed, and I'm changing my search criteria to be a little more specific, to non-human!Tony or at least complete BAMF!Tony!! ;) Many thanks all you awesome people; much love!

You should try Iron Man Yes, Tony Stark...Not Recommended (http://archiveofourown.org/works/576665/chapters/1034224) by lilsmartass. It is an angsty story about Tony being very deeply misunderstand by Steve and Clint (mainly) because of their first impression of him.

Inukagome15 has an entire series where Tony is a mutant. I highly recommend it.

This is a theme I love so going through my bookmarks for it. Some are more extreme than others on how awesome Tony is.
inukagome15 and everythingispeotry both consistantly write awesome!tony

Well, I don't know about radicalpiffle--adore the name!--but I'm all giddy about that huge list.

Since peaceformizu rec'd some fem!Tony, I thought I would add my fave fem!Tony fic...

Well I'm still reading it But I found that it has Tony as a med doctor it's not what makes him awesome but it doesn't hurt either. It has some implied/past het and it's Clint/Tony http://archiveofourown.org/series/29671 still wip but was updated 3 months ago.

I'm not sure if some of these have already been linked as I haven't looked at the links listed above unless they've got the name of the fic written:

Title: Out of the Bag
Author: AnonEhouse
Ship: Gen
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/460790?view_full_work=true
Summary: Bruce discovers something disconcerting about Tony as he reviews each of the Avengers' DNA. Something even Tony didn't know about himself, but he's pretty sure Howard did. So what I'd like to read is genetically modified Tony, due to some experimenting Howard did while Tony was just an infant/not even born, which granted him some kind of animalistic traits and advantages.
Not Human Inhuman Human experimentation howard tony part cat animal animal traits

Title: It’s All In The Mind (series)
Author: inukagome15
Ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/series/21783
Summary: Tony is a mutant. Tony is Iron Man. Tony is an Avenger. Tony…has some unresolved issues. Namely, the problem called Steve. Or maybe his overactive brain. Pick either.
Tony Stark does not have time for this garbage. Someone outed his secret to the public. No, not the one where he's dating Steve. Yes, the one where he's a mutant. Yes, he's mad. Yes, his life sucks. What else is new? Oh, hi, Extremis.
Extremis Mutant Mutation X-Men Crossover Xover Spiderman Extremis Civil War AU Tony is A Mutant

Title: A Meeting of Minds
Author: Nix (crimsonquills)
Ship: Tony Stark/Steve Rogers
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/series/15841 (Bonding Verse)
Summary: As it turns out, the Extremis hadn't quite finished rewriting Tony's brain. The only potential fix has...consequences.

Tony being awesome:

Title: The World that Forgot Tony Stark
Author: shinkonokokoro
Ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
http://archiveofourown.org/works/527492/chapters/934052
Summary: There's a reason Tony hates magic. And it's a good one. He's never been so glad for the fanfare his name has caused. Because it means the world knows him. Unlike this one.
Magic Torture Tortured tony experimented on extremis
Title: Even the light is an illusion
Author: Mizzy
Ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark Tony Stark/Steve Rogers
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/507292/chapters/892809
Summary: Death threats are an unfortunate side-effect of being Tony Stark, so he's learned to ignore them. Trouble is, when someone really wants you dead, hiding your head in the sand just kinda exposes your ass. But it's not just Tony's behind on the line. Whoever wants him dead wants him to suffer first, and they're willing to do anything to make that happen. Tony knows there's only one way out. To save Steve, the Avengers, and the general public, Tony has to die. Of course, death isn't always the end, and Tony does what any other self-disrespecting scientist would do: he finds a way to fake his death and avenge his own murder. The trouble is, terrible decisions usually have a terrible price, and this one is no different. Tony has a chance to save the day, but the cost may be more than Tony was ever expecting to pay…

I stumbled upon a fic/Prompt Fill where Tony is a Timeord and Steve is his companion. I don't know if this is what you wanted but it's a Non-Human Tony fic. (tbh they need more out there)
