Tony Stark

Early Life
Anthony "Tony" Stark was born to weapons industrialist Howard Stark and his wife, Maria. While Tony was born in San Francisco, California, Stark primarily grew up in Manhattan, New York. When Tony was still young, his father hired a butler and bodyguard named Edwin Jarvis. Howard Stark was too busy running the family company Stark Industries to pay much attention to Tony, leading Tony to embrace a lifestyle of partying.

Late Teens
In his late teens, Tony 's parents were killed in a car crash, making Tony's partying lifestyle even worse. Eventually, Jarvis introduced Stark to the son of an old war buddy of his, Jimmy '' Rhodey" Rhodes. The two men quickly became best friends. Sadly, a few years later, Jarvis passed away. The loss of Jarvis led Tony back into his partying lifestyle.
