Name: Anthony (Tony) Edward Stark
Age: 42
Bio: Son of Howard and Maria Stark, Tony's brilliance was apparent at a young age. When he was just 6 years old he built his first internal combustion engine. When he was 17 he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Becoming Iron Man: At 21, he was kidnapped by a multi-national terrorist organization known
as The Ten Rings. During this, he suffered a chest wound after an
explosion, but was able to create a minature arc reactor which kept the
deadly shrapnel from reaching his heart. This miniature arc reactor also
powered this Iron Man suit he created while captured, which helped him
escape.
