Maria Stark

Maria Stark (legal name: Maria Collins Carbonell Stark) (maiden name: Maria Collins Carbonell) (b. 1930) (d. December 2001) was the daughter of Lucas (né Collins) Carbonell and Cristina Carbonell, the wife of Howard Stark, the mother of Tony Stark, mother-in-law of Bruce Wayne, and grandmother of their children.
Born in upstate New York, United States, Maria grew up in a fairly laidback lifestyle, as her father was a Christmas tree father. This all changed when she married Howard Stark, as she was forced into a more elite lifestyle. This, combined with Howard's cheating, years of infertility, bedrest with her pregnancy that led to her son Anthony Edward Stark (b. May 30th, 1980), and her son's subsequent abuse from his father that only grew worse when he presented as an omega in 1994, led to her becoming an alcoholic and an addict to Xanax. Despite this and their strained relationship in his childhood, when Tony married Bruce Wayne in the culmination of their betrothal contract, as arranged by Bruce and Howard, she and her son grew closer in his early married life. She was even a witness to the births of her grandsons Harley and Peter.
Unfortunately, Maria's life was cut short in December, 2001, when she, Howard, and their maid/Tony's honorary mother Ana Jarvis were killed by the Winter Soldier at the order of HYDRA. But her memory and legacy live on in her son and his children, particularly her granddaughter, Lili Wayne, and adopted great-granddaughter Mari Grayson, both of whom are named after her.
