Superior Iron Man -- An Unhealthy Obsession
Looks like the playboy millionaire as a thing for you.
Not in a healthy way, though.

Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark, better known as the Superior Iron Man, is a major antagonist in Marvel Comics. He is a villainous version of the heroic character who debuted following the events of AXIS, becoming the titular protagonist of the 2015 comic book miniseries Superior Iron Man. Unlike the original Iron Man, this incarnation represents Stark's darkest qualities fully unleashed — a complete "bad guy" rather than merely morally ambiguous.
Superior Iron Man was opposed by several heroes, most notably Pepper Potts, Daredevil, and the original Tony Stark's consciousness, which survived as an artificial intelligence.
....
Superior Iron Man originated during the AXIS event, in which a magical inversion reversed the morality of Earth's heroes and villains. While the spell was later undone, the corrupted Tony managed to shield himself and retained his evil personality even as most heroes reverted to their usual selves.
This allowed a darker Tony to infiltrate society and build an empire. He revealed himself as a true villain by releasing Extremis 3.0 to the public disguised as a free app, addicting the population to the substance and then depriving them of further "upgrades" until they paid his fee of $99.99 per day.
This caused mass social unrest and suffering, as large swaths of society became effectively drug-addicted and enslaved to Tony's will. All the while, Tony treated it as a game, indulging in parties and social events while the world around him suffered.
Tony balanced his cruelty strategically to prevent global retaliation. He engaged in hostile takeovers of rival companies, blackmailed individuals into promoting his Extremis app positively, and unleashed an army of advanced drones as a personal police force — effectively becoming a tyrant.
This version of Iron Man was killed during the Incursion crisis in Avengers Vol. 5 #44 (2015), when the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe collided, wiping out all life in both. He attempted to escape aboard Reed Richards' interdimensional life raft, but Captain America prevented him, believing he needed to face punishment for his crimes. He spent his final moments fighting Captain America, only for both to be killed by a crashing helicarrier shortly before the entire universe was erased.
Reed Richards later restarted the multiverse, restoring the destroyed universes. Iron Man was returned to his original heroic persona in the new version of the universe, the Superior incarnation effectively erased.
....
Physically identical to Tony Stark, this version is distinguished by his Endo-Sym Armor: a white suit with glowing blue accents. Without the armor, he is the same man physically — the only difference lies in personality.
....
As Superior Iron Man, this Tony displayed malignant narcissism, an insatiable love of power and wealth, complete indifference to the suffering of others, and a willingness to engage in acts of treachery and deception for personal gain.
