“Mr. Stark? I, uh, I'm still not entirely sure how to do this, but the gentleman told me to leave a message, so I guess...” A sigh rattled over the phone line. “Look, Tony, I'm going to level with you – they told me I had one phone call, and you... you're the first person that popped into my head. So, yeah, I, uh... I've sort of been arrested, and I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I – if it's not too much trouble, that is – could really use some help, if you... you know what? It doesn't matter. Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Stark.”

Tony Stark had a secret identity long before he became Iron Man.
Following his parents' deaths, Tony was desperate for some privacy from the press. So he and Hank came up with a way for Tony to be two people at once. Which was fine, until Afghanistan and then his second identity had a name - Iron Man - and then there was New York and the Avengers and Steve Rogers. Then he discovers his crush on Steve is requited and he’s juggling two identities and a relationship, while working with Hank and Hope to figure out if Jan is alive. And then there's whatever Darren Cross is up to with the Pym Particles.
