The father of Tony Stark aka. Iron Man, Howard was a brilliant inventor his whole life. He and his father worked together on various projects, together founding Stark Industries. During WWII, Howard worked on the Manhattan Project and the 'Arsenal' robots, which were programmed to be awakened only if the nation was overrun during the Cold War. Howard married Marie Carbonell and they had a son, Anthony 'Tony' Stark. Throughout his life, Howard pushed Tony to be the best, telling him that someone must have "iron in their backbone" to be successful. But he also suffered from severe alcoholism and this would later afflict Tony as well. Howard and Marie were both killed in a plane crash on the Ides of March, a crash which was thought to have been engineered by the V-Battalion, a group Howard was a part of during WWII. After his death Tony took over Stark Industries, started a charity in his mothers name and of course would later on become Iron Man. Howard will be portrayed in the upcoming Captain America movie by Dominic Cooper.
