Stark, Anthony

トニ－・スターク / アイアンマン

An industrialist, genius inventor, and consummate playboy, he serves as CEO of Stark Industries, a primary weapons manufacturer for the U.S. military. The son of Howard Stark, a Manhattan Project engineer, he is an engineering prodigy who built a circuit board at age four and an engine at six, graduating from MIT summa cum laude at 17. He assumes control of Stark Industries at 21. Later in his career, Stark sustains a severe heart injury during a kidnapping where his captors attempt to force him to construct a massively destructive weapon. Instead, he creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Stark subsequently decides to use the suit to protect the world as Iron Man.
