Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark was born in Manhattan, New York to Howard and Maria Stark. Tony's father, Howard, was the founder and original CEO of Stark Industries, a multinational industrial company and the largest tech conglomerate in the world. While he was loved unconditionally by his mother, Tony suffered from a strained relationship with his father, both due to the contrast of Tony's sensitive and reclusive nature with Howard's glorification of physical prowess and Howard's ever-increasing drinking habits, which caused him to verbally abuse Tony and suffer from mood swings. This caused Tony to turn to electronics as a coping mechanism when he was barely five years old, as he started to believe hardware to be comprehensible and reliable, whereas people were unpredictable and hard to understand. Tony's world couldn't find order, but the things he built did.

In order to toughen up his son, Howard sent Tony to boarding school at age 7, much to Maria's dismay. In the following years, Tony learned of discipline of body and strength of character as Howard intended, while spending his free time reading alone. At the age of thirteen, the stories of Arthurian legends opened Tony the doors to a new world of dedication to a cause greater than oneself, of chivalry, honor, and armored heroes.

After boarding school, Tony joined an undergraduate program at MIT at the age of fifteen. At MIT, he would meet another young prodigy named James Rhodes and they became lifelong best friends. At sixteen, Tony won the 4th Annual MIT Robot Design Award, which was his fourth consecutive time winning, after inventing robots which he named Dum-E and U. When he was seventeen, Tony would effortlessly graduate from MIT as class valedictorian with double majors in psychics and engineering. He would also have brief flings with several women around this time.

When Tony was twenty-one, his parents were killed in a car crash when they were going to the airport for a Christmas trip to the Bahamas, leaving him in grief and struggling to process this tragedy. Howard's old partner, Obadiah Stane, would take over Stark Industries as its interim CEO until Tony recovered.

A few months later, after recovering from his parents' deaths, Tony Stark inherited Stark Industries, becoming the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company in history. Having built himself a custom mansion in Malibu, California, Stark created an AI system that helped out in the house. He named the system J.A.R.V.I.S. ("Just A Rather Very Intelligent System") in tribute to the Starks' long-time butler Edwin Jarvis, who stood by Tony's side during his grief before his untimely death.

Eventually, Stark's old friend James Rhodes joined the United States Air Force and became the liaison between Stark Industries and the United States Armed Forces, successfully earning Stark billions of dollars with military contracts. Under Stark's leadership with the aid of Stane, Stark Industries quickly thrived and became one of the most advanced companies in the world, creating new forms of weapons technology that seemed highly futuristic to most looking on at the weapons.

One day, while overseeing a military demonstration of his technology in the People's Republic of Sin-Cong, Tony Stark suddenly disappeared after his escort was surprise attacked by terrorists. He would reappear a few months later, but made a very few statements of his status during this time. It would be later revealed that Tony Stark was actually kidnapped by a band of terrorists known as the Ten Rings in an attempt to get him to create a superweapon for them. During his captivity, Tony discovered that a piece of shrapnel had become embedded in his heart and with the help of fellow prisoner and the famed Asian psychist Ho Yinsen, they constructed an miniature palladium energy core known as the Arc Reactor to keep him alive. Together, Stark and Yinsen used whatever scraps they could find in their prison to build a highly-advanced suit of armor to help them escape, but would only be a matter of time till the Ten Rings discovered their plans. Knowing that if they were found all of their work was for nothing, Yinsen decided to sacrifice his own life by distracting the terrorists, giving Stark the extra time he needed to charge the armored suit fully. Donning the armor, Stark avenged Yinsen's death and heavily decimating the Ten Rings. During this experience, Stark saw how his technology was used to cause so much death and destruction. So, when he returned to America, he had the weapon manufacturing at Stark Industries shut down, replacing it with technology designed to better mankind's future.

After the Sin-Cong incident, Stark keep the armor he used to escape from the Ten Rings in storage, intending it to be an one and done deal. However, after he would don the suit when he discovered that Obadiah Stane was selling weapons created by Stark Industries to the Ten Rings and other foreign entities. Donning the armor yet again, Stark fought Stane and the Ten Rings' leader, only known as "the Mandarin", to keep them from obtaining the high-tech JERICHO missiles. After defeating the two villains, Tony Stark publicly became a hero and, with this new sense of purpose, he decided to combat evildoers as Iron Man, creating a series of newer, advanced armor suits.

Tony Stark's endeavors as Iron Man would be noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and their leader, Colonel Nick Fury, would approach Tony Stark for his burgeoning Avengers Initiative as its field leader. At first, Stark refused Fury's offer as he was uninterested in having the government using his tech as weapons again. After a mass breakout of supercriminals from several of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s several maximum detention facilities which saw Iron Man and various other heroes control the situation, Tony decided to join Fury's Avengers, but only one condition--that he would pilot the Iron Man armor series himself and keep the technology away from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own technicians.

Essentially, Tony Stark in this universe is mostly based off of his MCU counterpart. He didn't intended to be a hero at first, but after seeing that his company's technology were being used to create weapons of mass destruction instead improving the world, he decided to don the armor in order to stop those like Obadiah Stane and the Mandarin. Like in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon, he has a strained relationship with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. as a whole, as giving the Avengers a theme of moral ambiguity. Not full-on cynicism like how Marvel tried to do with the Ultimates, but something like with the characters asking each other "Hey, guys. Is what we're doing really right?"

The design that I made for his original Mark 1 armor is intended to look like that it was made from a bunch of metal and scraps cobbled together, similar to the Iron Man Mark I in the movies. I apologize if some of the proportions are a bit off. In-universe, this armor is one of Tony's few low-tech suits that isn't combat-worthy as it's only armed with a flame-thrower and a missile launcher.

I hope you guys like it.
