Following a two year relationship, Amanda became pregnant. A week before giving birth to the baby, Jude revealed to have been a Hydra double agent with little regard for anybody but Amanda and himself who sold out fellow S. H. I. E. L. D. soldiers, and was even responsible for the incident that had almost cost Amanda her life. During a discussion when he was trying to convince Amanda to accept Hydras protection, she attacked Jude and killed him.

L. D. agents. Traumatized by this development, Amanda asked S. H. I. E. L. D. to ensure her future baby would find a safe and happy home. However, director Nick Fury followed the same procedure used for unwanted pregnancies in the agency, and the baby was left in an orphanage in Sofia, Bulgaria after Amanda birthed him in a local hospital. Furys associate and famous industrialist Howard Stark learned of this, and decided to find the baby and adopt him, keeping the name Amanda wished he retained Anthony.

Arnos gestation had been extremely difficult, and his birth was only made possible with the help of an alien robot, the Rigellian Recorder. However, as 4. 51 genetically modified the baby in womb, Howard had discovered the robot hid some sort of kill switch, that would compromise the life of his son in the future, for which Stark developed a biococktail to interfere with it behind 4.

In addition to filling the void left by Arnos fatal illness, Tonys adoption would prevent 4. Howards meddling if it ever returned to Earth. Early Life and Education. Tony grew up completely unaware of Arnos existence or that he was adopted. While loved unconditionally by Maria, Tony suffered from a strained relationship with his father, both due to the constrast of Tonys sensitive and reclusive nature with Howards glorification of physical prowess2. Howards ever increasing drinking habits, which caused him to verbally abuse Tony2. This last factor caused Tony to turn to electronics as a coping mechanism at barely five years old, as he started to believe hardware to be comprehensible and reliable, whereas people were unpredictable and hard to understand. Tonys world couldnt find order, but the things he built did. Tonys childhood. In order to toughen his son, Howard sent Tony to boarding school at the age of seven, much to Marias dismay. The following years, Tony learned of discipline of body and strength of character as Howard intended, while spending his free time reading alone. At the age of thirteen, the stories of Thomas Malory opened Tony the doors to a new world of dedication to a cause greater than oneself, of chivalry, honor, and armored heroes. After boarding school, Tony joined an undergraduate program at MIT at the age of fifteen. He would effortlessly graduate as class valedictorian with double majors in physics and engineering. When he was seventeen, Tony met Meredith Mc. Call, his first love and, unfortunately, the daughter of Howards greatest business rival. Their relationship didnt develop beyond being a summer love, due to the combined interference of Merediths father and Howard. Meredith was sent to live with relatives, and Tony was scheduled to go to Europe for education, with neither being told where the other was. Tonys young adult life. The break up was numbed by Tonys school routine at Cambridge University in England, where he met another girl named Cassandra Gillespie. Worse luck, Cassandra was also the daughter of a rival weapons manufacturer of Howard. Their relationship and Tonys attendance to Cambridge were both cut short by Howard, who believed the recently established relationship to be nothing but a way for the Gillespies to get information on Howard through Tony. Tony doubted Howard and even tried to run away with Cassandra, but she eventually admitted that while she had fallen in love with Tony, their relationship did start as a ploy of her mother. Around this time, Tony met Dr. Ted Slaght during a symposium. The physicist became a mentor to Stark, and taught him values beyond the importance of science, like the significance of guiding the search for knowledge with an ethical compass,3.

However, he would also lose interest of the dangerous hobbies he mastered, like skiing, parachuting and hang gliding. Death of Howard and Maria Stark. When he was twenty one, Tonys parents died in a car crash and he inherited his fathers business, Stark Industries. Within a few years, he turned it from solely a munitions firm to a multi national corporation with a range of interests covering virtually all types of contemporary scientific industry, and the leader at the cutting edge of electronics. Tony also bought the company that built the car his parents were driving when they lost their lives and fixed the flaws in their brake system. Tonys new life as a CEO provided him with new challenges. But as the company grew bigger, his job became less exciting, and Tony fell into self indulgence once again. Inventing the Iron Man Armor.
