**Tony Stark** (legal name: **Anthony Edward Stark**) (b. May 29th, 1980), otherwise known as **Iron Man**, is the son of Howard and Maria (née Carbonell) Stark, the husband of Bruce Wayne, and the omither of Dick Grayson (adopted), Jason Todd (adopted), Lili Wayne, Harley Stark, Peter Stark, Bea Wayne, and twins Edward Wayne and Gemma Wayne. He is currently the CEO of Stark Industries.

Born on May 29th, 1980, Tony was the biological son of an unnamed man and Maria, however he was raised by Howard, who is implied to have had involvement in his conception, though the entire set of circumstances is currently unknown. As a child, instead of his mother and Howard, he was closer to Ana and Edwin Jarvis, who he viewed as his honorary parents. He presented as an omega in the fall of 1994 at the age of 14, and was subsequently betrothed to his future husband, Bruce Wayne, by Howard in February of 1995. The two would eventually become close and enter a romantic relationship, although this had not been Bruce's intention – initially, he had been fine with their marriage being a front for Tony's protection. Bruce and Tony were married on May 29th, 1997, Tony's seventeenth birthday, while Tony was a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he later received his BA (1999) and PhD (2002) degrees in Physics and Engineering.

Bruce and Tony have six biological children: Lilibeth 'Lili' Mariane Wayne (b. February 1st, 1998), Harley James Stark (b. July 23rd, 1999), Peter Benjamin Stark (b. August 11th, 2001), Beatrix 'Bea' Katherine Wayne (b. November 12th, 2003), and twins Edward Thomas Wayne and Gemina 'Gemma' Louise Wayne (b. May 9th, 2007). Bruce will be the adoptive father of Tony's child not sired by him. Additionally, they have two adopted children: Richard 'Dick' John Grayson (b. March 21st, 1990) and Jason Todd (b. August 18th, 1993).

Tony is also the honorary son of Edwin and Ana Jarvis, brother of Rhodey and brother-in-law of Pepper Potts as well as uncle to their daughter Riri Rhodes, son-in-law of Alfred Pennyworth, and brother-in-law of Selina Kyle as well as uncle to her son Felix. Bucky Barnes is another honorary member of his family, as are Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan. Lastly, he is the creator of Dum-E, Butterfingers, and U as well as JARVIS.

In 1997, Bruce and Tony adopted Dick Grayson after his biological parents were killed by Red Hood. He was their first and only adopted child for some time, until Tony's parents, Howard and Maria Stark as well as Ana Jarvis, were killed by the Winter Soldier, as revealed to Bruce and Tony by Phil Coulson. Bruce then went on a mission to track down the Winter Soldier, which led him to a HYDRA base in Siberia, where it was revealed that the Winter Soldier was Bucky Barnes, the alpha wife of Steve Rogers who had been presumed dead following her fall from the train in 1945. Also being held at the HYDRA base with Bucky was Jason Todd. In his quest to rescue them, Bruce was killed by HYDRA agents, which led to the severing of his and Tony's bond as experienced by Tony, but was soon revived by Bucky using a Lazarus Pit near the HYDRA base, which led to their bond being restored. Bruce then took Jason and Bucky back with him to the Glass House in Gotham; Jason was then adopted by him and Tony and Bucky was eventually accepted into the family as well, though it took some time.

Because of Howard's death, Tony ascended to the role of CEO as Stark Industries, with his godfather Obadiah Stane serving as his COO. Over time, despite Tony's dislike of the man, Obadiah was able to earn his trust. In 2007, when both Tony and Pepper were pregnant, he was able to recommend Farzana Zadran to be Tony's intern. Farzana also won Tony's trust and suggested to him that he should one day visit Afghanistan. It is partially because of her that Tony in fact did in February of 2008, which led to him being captured by an organization who had taken on the name of the Ten Rings, though they were not the original group to come up with it. While he was in the process of being captured, a Stark Industries missile exploded right next to Tony, causing the injuries he experienced in canon. He was only saved by his fellow captive, Anahita, who put an electromagnet in his chest to keep the shrapnel she could not remove from his body from reaching his heart.

While in captivity under the Ten Rings and building the suit that he would become known for, Tony went into heat several months earlier than he was meant to. It was revealed by Anahita that she was the cause of this, because she revealed herself to be **Aredvi Sura Anahita**, the Iranian goddess of fertility, health, water, wisdom, and war. Anahita told him that, due to the power-suppressing handcuffs that she wore, she could not stop his heat with her powers, and that he would be in heat as long as he was around her; she could, however, fix the tubal ligation he had undergone after giving birth to Edward and Gemma as well as the other reproductive issues he'd developed as a result of his pregnancies with them, Bea, and Peter. Faced with no other option, Tony agreed to share his heat with her, with the result that he became pregnant with her child.

On April 15th, 2008, Tony was able to escape the Ten Rings, but Anahita died in the process. Before she did, she told him that their child would now be the last of her kind, the Djinn. After wandering in the desert for two days and nights, Tony was then rescued by Rhodey and the US military on April 17th, 2008, and reunited with Bruce.

From there, the events of *Iron Man* mostly happened the same as in canon, including the death of Obadiah Stane. Like with *Iron Man 2*, Tony and Bruce also found out that he was being poisoned from the palladium of the arc reactor.
