Anton Vanko

Anton Vanko (b. February 15th, 1919) (d. November 25th, 2006) was the father of Ivan Vanko and the co-creator of the arc reactor alongside Howard Stark. The two of them got into an argument about how they wanted to use the arc reactor, as Anton sold the blueprints of it on the black market. This resulted in him being arrested and deported from the United States back to the Soviet Union, where he had his son Ivan before ultimately dying from alcoholism.
