Ahhh... so, he wraps himself up in the greatness of others, be it fictional or real.
He has sadness for his lack of uniqueness and definition.
I know the quick and easy solution.
He needs to accomplish something. Something that will show him that he has his own capacity of greatness. Right now, he's measuring himself against "Iron Man". Tony Stark is a fictional character, of legendary status. If one has never accomplished something of note, then how can you stack against something that was WRITTEN to be HEROIC...?
Get his head out of the clouds, and put his feet on the ground, heading on the path of DOING SOMETHING. Confidence and self worth come from doing these things, naturally.

@GwydionFrost I absolutely love your response. He is a lover of most heroic fictions- Deadpool, Tony Stark, Spider man, etc. Every comic, book, movie, show we watch, he likes seeing himself as the character who is the most badass. I think your suggestion is a great way for him to gain some self worth. Thank you for sharing.

Does he think he is someone he's not or does he just take inspiration from others
@Vampireloveless I think he understands that he is not actually a superhero, but wants everyone else to see him that way. He is inspired by how funny, badass, care-free, resilient, and heroic a character is.. which is what I suspect to be the traits he desires in himself.

I think that's normal. Everyone wants to be like their hero's to some extent, it helps lead us to who we are growing up, but he needs to branch out and allow himself to be everything he wants to be and not keep to one thing.
