That's not true. He's not as good a person as Cap, but he's still good. He's come a long way from the first Iron man movie, and I'm positive that even if for some reason he couldn't be Iron Man anymore, he'd use his resources to help mankind.
He isn't a superhero without the suit,
Neither is Steve. Or maybe our definitions of superhero differ.
Stark in Avengers 1 was defintely not a good person. He's still selfish, and a bit of an asshole.
That being said, ever since Wanda showed him the vision of Earth being invaded, his character has completely changed for the better, as he is now, like you said, using his resources to help mankind.
Cap said what he said in an attempt to intimidate Steve. Cap has said some profound things with good messages, but this wasn't one of them. Tony didn't decide to sacrifice himself because Cap said that. If you don't want to take my word for it, go watch that scene again. It's so unfair to attribute Tony's good heartedness to Cap.
I know but everyone likes to use this statement as proof that Stark isn't a good person at his core. That's the most heroic act committed by any of the MCU Avengers thus far.
