Anthony Edward Stark

Mr. Stark was born into fame and money, having a genius millionaire father and a mother that
owns and starts many charities for everything there is. However, having a father that makes
weapons and had helped created a literal super soldier had him striving to have his approval.

He built his first circuit board at 4, and a whole engine machine at 11, graduated at MIT at 15,
with 4 masters degree and 3 PhD’s and inherited his fathers company at 21. So, with an absent
father and a quiet, soft mother, he grew up with inferiority complex and a desire to please anyone
with promises of money, business, and/or sex. He continued his fathers legacy and created
weapons for the military around the globe. This is how he got his moniker called “the merchant
of death”.

After being kidnaped, blasted by his own weapons, and being tortured by waterboarding, he
escaped to destroy and shut down the weapons building part of his company because he said and
I will quote “ I don’t want my legacy to be a body count”. He continued to find and destroy his
weapons that was stolen and used in Afghanistan.

His resolve to fix what he thought was his fault was moving because he was born to a family that
makes weapons and he was expected to continue that legacy, but he did not. He chose to let go
what was expected of him and build his own legacy.
After all, He is Iron Man.
