Dear Earth Walkers-
The Summer Solstice is upon us – please join us for a beautiful evening walk June 22 - just post the longest day of the year as we make our way to a sacred stone cairn. or apacheta in the hills of Tilden.
An apacheta is stone mound used to designate, or link up, to a place of power that is infused with refined energy. We'll make our way to the apacheta and "feed" it things like cornmeal, tobacco, Florida water - and our voices and happy hearts...all food for the planet. By doing this we expand and enhance the web of light within our earth and community
This ceremony is for all folks that are able to hike (a moderate) less than a mile walk. Kids love ceremony and are welcome to join us.
Who: You, your family or friends.
What to bring:
Music makers, an open heart and mind, hiking shoes/boots, long pants, layers, water. If you have sacred items that you would like to "charge" bring your items to place on the apacheta, bringing them home infused with good energy and revitalized.
What not bring: resistance to magic, your dog, alcohol or drugs...
When: Saturday June 22, 2013 – at 6:45 to gather, 7:00 pm to leave for the walk.
Where: The parking lot across from ES Anderson Equestrian Camp. (that is .7 mile from the Brazilian Room in Tilden – en route to Orinda…on the left side of the road. If you pass Mineral Springs – you have gone .1 mile too far)
Cost? A hat will be passed - asking for a $10 donation to cover admin and offer ayni, children are free no one turned away for lack of funds.
Read on for LOTS of info about apachetas, for those that want to know J www.powerhed.com
More info on apachetas: (the reference is to building them, we will visit one that is already built)
The apacheta is part of the Peruvian and South American culture as well as others. It is not unusual to find them throughout South America, and in various parts of the United States and Canada. An apacheta is stone mound used to designate, or link up, to a place of power that is infused with refined energy. In the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition – we utilize the form and power of creating and nurturing apachetas. By building a ceremonial apacheta we expand and enhance the web of light within our earth and community.
When making an apacheta you are creating the act of ayni or sacred reciprocity. In ancient times this act was practiced regularly and today, in many indigenous cultures, this practice still exists. By creating sacred reciprocity we humans acknowledge the spiritual and natural world and thus create a balancing action. Creating an apacheta with family, friends and community is a powerful way to create a place of healing and harmony.
When building an apacheta - we are creating a sacred space on the planet - in essence, we open (or turn on) an energy system that allows earth energy to flow and open to cosmic forces. It is possible to experience the vibrant healing that moves through the apachetas - the apachetas connect the earth to the cosmos & cosmos to earth - these sacred mounds are potent power plants.
Another point that should be made is when making an apacheta - we are boosting the seque system - (or ley lines.) You may reflect on a time in your life you have been some place in nature and had a deep sensation that there is something more going on - a deep knowing that you are in a sacred site or in the midst of something greater. This feeling is accurate - and one explanation is that you are in the cross current of energetic lines that web around the planet. (Another explanation is that this spot is where unseen beings reside and you are feeling/sensing them...it would be an ideal place to build an apacheta!) So - when making an apacheta, not only are you are opening an acupressure point for the planet but you are enhancing the energetic webbing of the seque system; adding your unique and powerful energies to this sacred web. Apachetas are sacred grounds. It is an ideal place to commune with the natural world, a place to meditate, sit or play near.
As caretakers of an apacheta, we acknowledge that the apacheta is alive - and we make ritual feedings of cornmeal, tobacco, Florida water and other gifts that is an act of ayni. In addition to the ritual foods you may intone the directions, play music and sing to raise the energy of your apacheta. You may take other items from your mesa, alter or home and place them on the stone cairn to "charge" the items. When raising the energy of the apacheta, it raises the energy of the items as well.
One beautiful note: the spirit realm loves beauty – so if you decorate the apacheta with flowers and gifts from nature, that is ayni as well. In essence, the act of beauty is a gift.
The more time you spend with it, the more you will see what it has to offer and you may develop a deeper relationship to yourself, nature and the planet.
Fantastic group of people, of all ages! What a gift. Thanks for including me and welcoming me so quickly.

As we move closer to the Solstice - consciously open the portal of your heart to recieve the refined energies moving into our planet. Breathe into the heart, drawing breath though the crown of the head to heart - exhale down though the souls of your feet into the earth. Inhale the earth's energies through the souls of the feet, through the pevic girdle, up to the heart - exhale at the heart - sending the earth energy up out the crown....very powerful breath work. Healing self and planet.
Say thank you to mother earth, your community, yourself.

I have a php file with some arrays in it. I want to modify one of these arrays and write it back to the file. For e.g. say file test.php has contents -
$arr1 = array("a"=>"b", "c" =>"d");
$arr2 = array("a2" => "b2", "c2" => "d2");
i want to change $arr1 so that test.php now looks like -
$arr1 = array("a"=>"b", "c" =>"d", "e"=>"f");
$arr2 = array("a2" => "b2", "c2" => "d2");
I do not know what arrays are present in the file beforehand.
Edit: i am not adding any variables to the array, only another key value pair. The problem is that the array is part of a file with more arrays in it about which I won't always be aware. I can achieve this if there was only one array in the file, but want to know if it is possible to do this with multiple arrays.

|An NHL coach texted Claude Julien 'WTF' after bad video review
|03.24.16 at 10:22 pm ET
Claude Julien said he was just as baffled as everybody else when a video review led officials to say there was no conclusive evidence of the puck crossing the goal line on what would have been a Patrice Bergeron goal Thursday night.
Furthermore, Julien said a coach from another team texted him about the play.
Said Julien: "I got another coach that texted me, and [it] was 'WTF. How can that not be a goal?' That's coming from somebody who's neutral."
"No conclusive evidence of the puck crossing the goal line" pic.twitter.com/tlktefKt3d
— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) March 25, 2016
"I think you need to call the league because I can't explain it either. I'm as baffled as you are right now, and I looked at it many times here before coming out here," Julien said. "It looks like it's in. It looks very conclusive."
The goal would have tied the game at two goals apiece, but the Panthers ended up building on their lead with two more goals in an eventual 4-1 win.
|5 things we learned as Bruins fall to Panthers for 5th straight loss
|03.24.16 at 10:01 pm ET
That was a disaster.
Playing in a game they probably needed to win if they wanted to push for the top spot in the Atlantic Division, the Bruins lost a defenseman to injury, struggled on the power play and fell victim to perhaps the worst video review flub yet. The end result was a 4-1 Panthers win at TD Garden, marking the only time in the team's four meetings this season that Florida was victorious. The game also extended the Bruins' season-worst losing streak to five games (0-5-0) and could have made Boston's next seven games more about just making the playoffs than securing desired matchups.
The Bruins dominated the first period Thursday, holding a 15-5 edge in shots on goal, but the teams were scoreless through the first period. After Ryan Spooner scored his 13th goal of the season, the Panthers scored twice in the final seven minutes of the second.
While it seemed that Patrice Bergeron had tied the game at 8:03 of the third period, a lengthy review led to a surprising ruling that conclusive evidence was lacking.
"No conclusive evidence of the puck crossing the goal line" pic.twitter.com/tlktefKt3d
— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) March 25, 2016
The Panthers added to their shortly after on Jussi Jokinen's 16th goal of the season, while Jonathan Huberdeau scored an empty-netter to put the game out of reach.
The Bruins did have Tuukka Rask in the lineup, as Boston's starter returned after being pulled after a period Wednesday night due to illness.
The Panthers now lead the Bruins by five points and have eight games remaining to the Bruins' seven. The Bruins will next play Saturday in Toronto. Boston sits third in the Atlantic Divison, but the Red Wings' win over the Canadiens Thursday brought Detroit within one point of the B's with a game in hand.
|Bill Belichick, David Ortiz, other Boston and national sports figures pay tribute to Claude Julien in video
|03.24.16 at 7:30 pm ET
Prior to Thursday's game against the Panthers, the Bruins held a ceremony honoring Claude Julien for becoming the all-time winningest coach in franchise history.
In addition to being given a watch and a trip to Disney World, Julien received a video tribute featuring several local and national sports figures, including Bill Belichick, Doc Rivers, Brad Stevens, Terry Francona, Mike Babcock and David Ortiz.

|Bruins are early losers of Reilly Smith trade
|03.24.16 at 12:58 pm ET
When the Bruins traded Reilly Smith (along with Marc Savard's contract) for the rights to Jimmy Hayes this summer, fans locally were probably happier to see Smith go than they were to see Hayes arrive.
A whipping boy for his lack of offensive consistency in his first two seasons with the Bruins, a potentially bad contract and, let's face it, just being part of the Tyler Seguin trade, Smith's time in Boston turned ugly before it mercifully ended on the opening day of free agency.
Well, Smith — who is still just 24 — is better than Hayes, and the move has worked out just fine for him.
"It's a business. I didn't really feel hurt when I got traded," Smith said Thursday. "I think it's just part of what happens in this league. You want to have a good season every year. I've been given a lot of opportunity here and it's nice that I've been able to produce and help the team."
Statistically, there really isn't even a debate. In a nutshell: Smith does a lot more than Hayes despite having a much harder job.
The quick numbers: Smith has a career-best 23 goals, marking his second time in the last three seasons that he's hit the 20-goal mark, while Hayes has 13. Much like Smith endured horrid slumps in Boston, Hayes has gone 12 games without a point and has just one goal in his last 19 games. Given that many of his goals are scored in front of the net, where more is left up to bounces, it should have been expected that Hayes' goal output could have been in the low teens just as easily as it could have been in the low-20s.

|Brandon Carlo to join Providence Bruins
|03.24.16 at 11:34 am ET
Defenseman Brandon Carlo will begin practicing with the Providence Bruins on Thursday, as the 2016 second-round pick's season with the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League has concluded.
The Bruins drafted the 6-foot-5 defenseman with the 37th overall pick of last June's draft and signed him to his entry level contract in September. Carlo, a stay at home defenseman, had five goals and 22 assists for 27 points in 52 games with Tri-City this season, his third in the WHL.
Because the 19-year-0ld Carlo has a November birthday, he will be eligible to play next season in the AHL because he will turn 20 before Dec. 31.
|Bruins return Jeremy Smith to Providence
|03.23.16 at 5:41 pm ET
The Bruins sent Jeremy Smith to Providence on Wednesday, one day after recalling the goaltender from the AHL.
Smith was recalled for Tuesday's practice and the team's trip to New York because the team wasn't sure of the status of Tuukka Rask. Boston's starter missed Tuesday's practice due to illness but made the trip. He is expected to start Wednesday night against the Rangers.
|Bruins bring up Frank Vatrano, recall Jeremy Smith on emergency basis
|03.22.16 at 10:54 am ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins recalled forward Frank Vatrano from Providence. They also brought up goaltender Jeremy Smith on an emergency basis.
Vatrano, who had six goals in 30 games for Boston earlier this season, has scored 32 goals in 32 AHL games this season, making the first-year pro the AHL's leading goal-scorer this season.
In bringing up Vatrano, the Bruins have now used two of the four callups allotted to teams following the trade deadline. The B's recalled Noel Acciari the day after the deadline.
While Vatrano's eventual return to Boston was expected, Smith's recall might be the more intriguing of the two. Tuukka Rask was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice, leaving Smith and Jonas Gustavsson as the only goalies practicing. Claude Julien said after the practice that Rask is sick, but will travel to New York with the team for Wednesday night's game against the Rangers. Julien noted that all three goalies will make the trip.
Smith spent most of the season with the Iowa Wild after the B's loaned him to Minnesota's organization given their surplus of goaltenders in Providence. He has played in Providence of late, however, given the absence of Malcolm Subban. The 26-year-old had a .911 save percentage in 23 games for Iowa before posting a .932 save percentage for Providence over 11 games.
Speaking of Subban, the young goaltender, who remains out after larynx surgery that followed a puck to the throat during warmups on Feb. 6 for Providence, reportedly skated at the end of Providence's practice Tuesday.
Vatrano practiced on the fourth line Tuesday, giving the B's the following lineup in practice:

A Growing Appeal (OPINION)Northwest Arkansas has been on the national radar from a number of perspectives for many years now.

David Molk
With the 226th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers have selected David Molk, OC Michigan.
From NFL.com:
Molk won the 2011 Rimington Trophy as the nation's top center after starting four years at Michigan. He has good speed for his position and is a strong player. He is slightly underweight, but it hasn't affected his play much up to this point. He can be late to pick up blitzes at times and struggles in his technique, but he has solid value and should be selected near the fifth round.
Molk is quick off the line of scrimmage and gains an advantage on his man immediately. He is also quick to get out when pulling and can gather speed rather quickly to bury any linebacker in his sight. He displays good footwork in nearly all of his movements and has a good pass set.
Molk can have trouble sustaining his blocks through the end of run plays. He often has to pull his man down with him to keep him out of the play and finds it difficult to generate enough push early to create a solid hole for his backs. He is reliable to not allow sacks in pass production but can get off balance when setting against bull rushes.
How would you grade this pick? Does David Molk meet the Chargers needs and provide good value? Sound off in the comments below!

Take-Two Was Working On Separate Duke Nukem Title
Duke Begins would have been released in 2010.
How many suspended Duke Nukem games can one world handle? Another suspended Duke title has recently come to light, this one to have been called Duke Begins. And as with all things Duke Nukem, it's part of the legal dispute between Take-Two and 3D Realms.
According to court documents uncovered by Voodoo Extreme, the title had been handed off to a third-party developer, and was to have been released in mid-2010. However, the title was mysteriously suspended earlier this year.
3D Realms alleges that the title was axed to restrict their income, which would have allowed Take-Two to purchase the rights to Duke Nukem at a lower cost. At that point, they apparently believed that 3D Realms would have been desperate for any cash to keep their studio afloat.
Allegations of this sort have flown back and forth since 3D Realms axed the entire Duke Nukem Forever development team back in May. Among other things, 3D Realms claimed that Take-Two never paid any of its due advances, while Take-Two claimed that the developer was holding money in an offshore oil account.
Take-Two is currently suing 3D Realms for $12 million for having not completed Duke Nukem Forever. The case should go to trial in about a year.

Forever LostPosted: Jun 23, 2009 12:00AM PST by great_boss
Duke Nukem Forever was in development for so long that eventually people quit caring. Adios.
Could someone at 3D Realms...Posted: Jun 23, 2009 12:00AM PST by tjkjr
...please just come forward and say the whole Duke Nukem Forever game was just an elaborate hoax at the expense of the entire gaming industry? It now appears to me that 3D Realms is just trying to hold onto the fading glory of Duke with the release of this information.
Honestly...Posted: Jun 23, 2009 12:00AM PST by DtNeotericDope
Duke Nukem is a thing of the past and the franchise doesn't need a sequel. Just like we don't need a new Doom or another crappy Quake. They need to just leave these games in the past when they were fun to play. Let them keep their glory as being the bad ass games we played as kids. And not having them be remembered by a shoddy remake. And if that screen shot is any indication of what the game would look like. What are we still in the PS1 era? Apparently they are because that's the last Duke I played. I say leave Duke in the past where it belongs and also maybe some of these companies that made gaming what it is today need to just step aside and quit making video games.

Product Description
From Booklist
With her double chin and double-XL wardrobe, it's doubly appropriate that Nola Devlin leads a double life. In reality, she's the overworked, underappreciated editor of Sass! a sleazy celebrity tabloid whose most popular columnist is sexy, slender, saucy Belinda Apple, Nola's alter ego. Nola, however, soon finds she's too clever for her own good when one of Belinda's columns on weight loss inspires her two equally overweight best friends to coerce her into following this diet-to-end-all-diets, a "Cinderella Pact" they hope will transform their lives into a Belinda-like orgy of physical, romantic, and career success. Meanwhile, Belinda's popularity soars to the point that Sass! management decides it's time to meet their star attraction in the flesh, as it were. As Nola slims down, the quest to find Belinda heats up, causing Nola to jump through more hoops than any personal trainer could possibly dream of. As a discerning observer of cultural folderol, Strohmeyer nonetheless softens her trenchant satire with obvious compassion for her lovable characters. Carol Haggas

Nancy is a rich lawyer. She hires a personal trainer. Deb is the one who married her childhood sweetheart and had kids. Deb decides surgery is the way to go. But Nola neither has the money for a trainer, nor bravery enough to go under the doctor's knife. Nola has to do it the hard way, exercise. Right after the pact is made, Nola psyched up and ready. But then her car dies for the final time, her kitchen catches on fire, and she learns that her bosses are trying to find out Belinda's true identity and possibly sue her for fraud!
Toughing it out, Nola gets a ride home from a co-worker named "Chip". She even goes to the gym, even though it means she somehow ends up in a bet with the toughest guy there in a weight lifting contest. Chip is right there, cheering her on. But what can Nola do when Chip turns out not to be who she thought he was? Sound confusing? Well let me put it this way: who even said Nola was the only one with a secret identity. Lastly, there is Nola's family. No support there when it comes to her weight or her problems. Her parents seem to care only for their youngest daughter, Eileen.Read more ›
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
One of her glib responses comes back to haunt her when her two best friends decide to follow Belinda's dieting tips after an embarrassing incident at a restaurant, and she reluctantly agrees to a "Cinderella Pact" to lose weight by a certain date. Her friends Deb and Nancy take different approaches to losing the weight, and each one has to face up to the consequences.
Nola herself has a hard time, not only with the diet and exercise, but also with keeping her identities straight, and her life becomes increasingly more complicated when:
1. Her sister decides to get married and wants Belinda to be the matron of honor
2. She meets a great mystery guy who may or may not be named Prince "Chip" Charming
3. A background check by the magazine reveals that Belinda isn't all she claims to be
4. She has to act as a go-between for a hot British columnist whom the tabloids have linked to the beautiful Belinda
Fast-paced and funny, with likeable characters and despicable villains, this one is a must for fans of Bridget Jones' Diary and the Stephanie Plum series.
Rated: 4.5 stars

Amazon Rating: 4/5 stars
THE CINDERELLA PACT by Sarah Strohmeyer is about an overweight woman, Nola Devlin, who is a frustrated editor at "Sass!" Magazine. Somehow she manages to create an alter ego, Belinda Apple, and after "interviewing" for the magazine through Nola, she manages to get Belinda a regular column in the magazine. Nola has always wanted to write, and knew this may be her only way to see her dreams come true, sort of.
In the meantime, Nola is leading a double life. Belinda supposedly lives in London, and is also supposedly having an affair with their "other" British employee, Nigel. Yet, no one has met Belinda, and at the same time she's so popular that Nigel tries to meet Belinda through Nola, hoping to make that so-called affair that is making the tabloids, real.
The Cinderella Pact refers to Nola and her two best friends, Deb and Nancy, who all vow to lose weight. After seeing Belinda Apple's column on weight loss, which Nola made up off the top of her head, Deb and Nancy are convinced this will work for them. So, now the three are trying to lose weight.
Between Nola's family politics (they all think Nola is jealous of sister Eileen who is about to become engaged) and Chip, a guy at work that seems to really like Nola, her life is pretty busy and somewhat stressful. And of course handling Belinda is not a piece of cake either, as she tries to continue this charade and keep everyone convinced that Belinda is a real person.
I highly recommend THE CINDERELLA PACT for those who love funny light reads such as Bridget Jones Diary. Sarah Strohmeyer is also the author of the Bubbles Yablonsky series, which sort of remind me of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. All these books have one thing in common - they contain women who are over the top that will keep you in stitches.
As always, Ms. Strohmeyer's writing is extremely funny and exceptionally poignant as well. I, for lack of a better word, devoured the book in one evening staying up until nearly 2 a.m. to finish it, wiping away happy tears the last 40 pages or so. I absolutely adored it.
This is a light-hearted novel set in the contemporary world with the theme of - Every girl is a Cinderella inside. We are all hoping for a fairy godmother to turn us into a beautiful princess who will have a happy ending with prince Charming. Only, instead of changing the clothes, the fairy god mother should make the girl thinner and more confident. This is not a thought-provoking story, or a must-read. It is a light story to pass time in a nice way.
Nola Devlin is an overweight woman who works for Sass! magazine as an editor. What she really wants to do though is write, so she somehow manages to create an alter ego, Belinda Apple, who finds her way into writing an advice column for the publication. No one knows that Belinda does not exist. Everyone thinks Belinda lives in London and is very chic (a doctored photo of Nola convinces the staff of this), but no one has yet to meet the popular columnist. Nola gets away with her charade by creating an email address for Belinda along with an American cell phone number, explaining to co-workers that it's cheaper to use than a direct British phone line.
In the meantime, Nola and her two best friends, Deb and Nancy, decide that they are going to lose weight, and they form the "Cinderella Pact." They vow to become trimmer versions of their present selves, inspired by an article penned by Belinda Apple no less. While Nola knows that the article is a bunch of bull, the other two are convinced this is the way to go.
While the three pursue their dreams of becoming thin, Nola meets "Chip," a computer geek who also works at Sass!, and is surprised to find that he is attracted to her. But she's somewhat convinced that he is already in a relationship (possibly married) and thus keeps disappearing on her, giving her the impression he's really not that serious about her. Nigel, the "other" Brit on staff at Sass!, also shows interest in Nola, and she isn't sure what to think of him. (Actually, rumors are flying that Nigel and Belinda are having an affair, and Nigel tries to get a hold of Belinda through Nola.)
On the home front, Nola's family thinks she's jealous of baby sister Eileen, who is almost engaged to be married, while overweight Nola never seems to get a date. When Eileen decides she wants Belinda Apple to be her maid of honor, Nola is about to have a heart attack. How is she going to pull this one off?
I thoroughly enjoyed THE CINDERELLA PACT, which had me laughing out loud. I hope Strohmeyer continues writing books with these fun and crazy characters because they are delightful, funny and always amusing to read about. I'm recommending this book to readers who enjoy well-written Chick Lit, but also may be looking for something more.

Miss Marple (BBC TV series starring Joan Hickson)
- The Danza: Hawes's first name is never mentioned in the book version of Murder At The Vicarage, but in the BBC version, he's called Christopher, same as the actor who plays him.
- Fake American: Several but notably Claire Bloom as Marina Gregg in "The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side" and Sue Lloyd with a hideous attempt at a Deep South American accent in "A Caribbean Mystery".
- The Other Darrin: Jason Rafiel is played by Frank Gatliff in Nemesis and Donald Pleasence in A Caribbean Mystery.
Marple (ITV TV series starring Geraldine McEwan / Julia McKenzie)
- The Other Darrin: Julia McKenzie replaced Geraldine McEwan and plays the character very differently.
- A few of the recurring characters are also examples of this.
- Jason Rafiel was voiced by Herbert Lom in Nemesis, yet played by Antony Sher in A Caribbean Mystery.
- Dr Haydock is played by Robin Soans in The Body in the Library, Robert Powell in The Murder at the Vicarage and Neil Stuke in The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side.
- Averted with Dolly Bantry, who is played by Joanna Lumley both times, despite each of her appearances in the series being with different Miss Marples!
- A few of the recurring characters are also examples of this.

Howard Stark
this wiki
- "You are too young to understand this right now, so I thought I would put it on film for you. I built this for you, and some day you'll realize that it represents a whole lot more than just people's inventions. It represents my life's work. This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world. What is, and always will be, my greatest creation is you."
- ―Howard Stark's message to his son
Howard Anthony Walter Stark was an inventor, engineer, movie director, businessman and founder of Stark Industries. During World War II he worked on various government projects, including the Manhattan Project and Project Rebirth, and helped the Strategic Scientific Reserve fight against HYDRA. He constructed the second shield of Captain America, and after the war he located the Tesseract, which had been lost in the Atlantic Ocean.
A year after the end of the war, Howard was framed for distributing weapons to enemies of the United States. He put his friend Peggy Carter in charge of the effort of finding proof of his innocence. Eventually his name was cleared when it was proved that Johann Fennhoff was framing Stark in an attempt to gain revenge for the Battle of Finow. He later founded Stark Pictures while assisting Carter research and understand Zero Matter.
Later in life, Howard married a woman named Maria and had a son, Tony. He also co-developed the Arc Reactor with defected Soviet scientist Anton Vanko. Stark was also one of the founding members of S.H.I.E.L.D. where he worked with Ant-Man. Eventually, Stark would push his son away, but did care for Tony and had high hopes that he would change the world. When he became a threat to HYDRA, having managed to either create or obtain the Super Soldier Serum, Stark and his wife were assassinated by Bucky Barnes, better known as Winter Soldier.
Early Life
- "I grew up on the lower east side. My father sold fruit. My mother sewed shirtwaists for a factory. Let me tell you, you don't get to climb the American ladder without picking up some bad habits on the way."
- ―Howard Stark to Peggy Carter
Howard Stark was born on Wednesday, August 15, 1917 in Richford, New York[1] to a father who sold fruit and a mother who sewed shirtwaists for livings. Whilst growing up in the lower east side in New York City he became good friends with future gangster Joseph Manfredi. Growing up, he learned that society puts limits to success based on ones' economical status or gender, so he became good at lying to get what he needed.[2] He became an industrial genius, multi millionaire, inventor, and businessman, attending multiple international conferences, such as the one where he met Doctor Abraham Erskine in Geneva, Switzerland, in May 1934.[3]
World War II
Strategic Scientific Reserve
- "Mr. Stark? If I could have a word."
"Colonel Phillips! What are you doing skulking in the shadows? The show's just getting started."
- ―Chester Phillips and Howard Stark
In 1939, Stark launched Stark Industries. A year later, at Ciro's, Los Angeles, California, Stark began a demonstration which would showcase Vibranium, a metal discovered by Stark Industries researchers in Africa. Later, Stark met with Colonel Chester Phillips after being attacked by HYDRA assassins. He agreed to join Phillips' newly created Strategic Scientific Reserve.[4]
He participated in the rescue operation where the SSR agent Peggy Carter saved Doctor Abraham Erskine from the castle of Johann Schmidt, the head of Hitler's special weapons division HYDRA.[5] Under Stark's guidance, his company began producing planes for the American war effort following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. His innovations later earned him a spot working on the Manhattan Project.[6]
In 1943, Stark was at the Modern Marvels of Tomorrow exhibition, demonstrating new technology that could allow cars to hover; however, the technology was not yet perfected and the car crashed to the ground. In the audience watching the performance were Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes along with their dates Connie and Bonnie. Secretly, Stark was working with the Allies in order to help in World War II, performing multiple experiments for them and working as their weapons specialist.[7]
Project Rebirth
- "Mr Stark, how are your levels?"
"Levels at 100%. We may dim half the lights in Brooklyn, but we are ready, as we'll ever be."
- ―Abraham Erskine and Howard Stark
Stark was instrumental in "Project Rebirth", the project of the SSR that Steve Rogers underwent in order to become the U.S. Army's first super soldier. Stark built a machine that used up half of the power in Brooklyn to douse Rogers with Vita Radiation after receiving the Super Soldier Serum from Doctor Abraham Erskine. The process successfully transformed scrawny Steve Rogers into the muscular Captain America.
However immediately after the experiment, Erskine was assassinated. Rogers managed to catch the assassin, who killed himself before he could be arrested. Rogers did capture the HYDRA submarine that the assassin tried to escape in and Stark was tasked with understanding its technology, which he said was years ahead of the Allied technology. [7] With the death of Erskine, the formula of the Super Soldier Serum was lost as well. Blood samples of Steve Rogers were taken to try to recreate the serum; from the twelve taken, one was given to Howard Stark.[2]
Working with Captain America
- "Vibranium. It's stronger than steel and a third of the weight. It's completely vibration absorbent."
"How come it's not standard issue?"
"That's the rarest metal on Earth. What you're holding there, that's all we got."
- ―Howard Stark and Steve Rogers
Instead of being used as the soldier he was intended to be, Steve Rogers was used as propaganda and traveled to help spread encouragement and hope. Shortly before one of his performances in Italy, many soldiers were captured by the enemy. Peggy Carter convinced Stark to fly Rogers to the HYDRA factory in Austria. Stark asked Carter if she wanted to join him after the mission for a late night fondue date; Rogers thought they were already in a relationship. Rogers leapt from the plane and he completed his mission, helping all the soldiers escape.
After the mission Stark was stationed at a secret SSR base and met with Steve Rogers again, who gave him a piece of HYDRA tech which Rogers claimed was the most powerful explosive known to man; Stark was doubtful but took the device for testing anyway. He explained to Rogers what he meant by the earlier fondue reference and they had a brief talk about women. Stark then showed Rogers a collection of new shields he had designed for him, as Rogers had grown attached to the one he had taken on the mission. Rogers chose a prototype Vibranium shield; while trying it on for size, Peggy Carter fired four gunshots at him to test its strength. Rogers then told Stark that he had his own ideas for his costume.
Stark and his team of scientists were tasked with testing the power source of the weapon that Rogers had given him earlier, trying to learn its potential and its origin. As the experiments took place and Stark's team made notes about the device's energy signatures, Stark felt the device was not as impressive as he was told and commented on Rogers' lack of understanding of the device. However when the device was touched, it exploded, shattering the glass and throwing Stark backwards. Stunned by the amount of force, Stark could only jokingly say "write that down".[7]
Battle of Finow
- "My lab was raided. They took my samples, my research, all on the orders of General McGinnis. The next day, they dropped it on the Russians to help them take Finow. I flew there afterward to see with my own eyes. What those men did to each other, you can't imagine."
- ―Howard Stark to Peggy Carter
In 1944, Stark was ordered by General John McGinnis of the US Army to design a gas that would keep soldiers awake for days. However, his experiments failed. The final product, which he named the Midnight Oil, caused symptoms similar to sleep deprivation, anger, hallucinations, and psychosis. Stark decided not to hand it over to the Army.
However, General McGinnis had other plans, stealing the gas which his soldiers dropped on the Soviet troops near the German town of Finow, hoping to help them crush the German defenses. The gas turned the soldiers into bloodthirsty savages, and hundreds of them killed each other. A day later, Stark arrived at Finow and saw the carnage.[8] He returned from there distressed and began construction of his vault in his mansion.[9]
Attack on HYDRA Headquarters
- "Schmidt's working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across the Atlantic, he will wipe out the entire eastern seaboard in an hour."
- ―Howard Stark
When Captain America successfully captured the HYDRA scientist Arnim Zola, at the loss of Bucky Barnes, the Allies were able to learn of Red Skull's plan to destroy much of the world. Howard Stark joined Captain America and the Howling Commandos as Chester Phillips discussed their mission plan, noting what was at risk if Red Skull succeeded in his plan. A plan was devised by Rogers to attack the base alone then be joined by the rest of the US army.[7]
Losing Captain America
- "Just keep looking."
- ―Howard Stark
In March 1945, Captain America crashed the Valkyrie in the ocean with the Tesseract. Stark refused to abandon his friend, and charted multiple expeditions out the ocean to search for him.[7] A month later, Peggy Carter led a team including Dum Dum Dugan and Jim Morita to the HYDRA Research Facility Number 4, where Werner Reinhardt and his soldiers were arrested. The objects confiscated there, including the Obelisk, were sent to Stark to be studied. While there, Carter felt that an organization would be needed during peace time to safeguard people against dangerous technology and to monitor people like Howard Stark.[10]
According to Peggy Carter, in May 1945, when Nazi Germany surrendered, Stark tried to kiss her to celebrate the victory, and she knocked him into the Thames river. Since he did not know how to swim, a group of frogmen had to fish him out and save him from drowning. However, it is possible that this story is just Carter's fabrication.[11] Shortly after the V-E Day, while searching for Captain America in the Atlantic, Stark's expedition discovered the Tesseract, lying on the floor of the ocean after falling out of the Valkyrie during the crash. Stark attempted to figure out how the Tesseract worked, but had less than helpful results.[7]
The Last Task
- "My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project."

After the disappearance of Captain America, Howard Stark joined the Manhattan Project and helped the Allied scientists build the first Atomic Bomb. The new weapon was used against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which forced the Japanese militarist government to surrender, effectively ending World War II.[12]
Post-War Life
- "Did you knowingly sell military grade technology to enemies of the United States?"
"Not knowingly."
"Did you do it unknowingly?"
"Well, by definition, that would be impossible to answer."
- ―Senator Webster and Howard Stark
With the war over, Stark began enjoying the playboy lifestyle, parting with many high class celebrity women and sleeping with many others, always having Edwin Jarvis give them a Stark Special Bracelet as a parting gift to remember their time together. He continued to invent new weapons to be used in day to day situations, although many found new purposes such as the Constrictor.
In December, 1945, Stark dated Ida Emke and tried to impress her by inviting her to his mansion and one of his warehouses to see many of his inventions, including a self-flying plane and his vault full of weapons. The pair enjoyed each other's company for the weekend before Stark had Jarvis give her a Bracelet as the traditional parting gift.[8] In January, 1946, Stark attempted to buy Roxxon Oil Corporation from his friend Hugh Jones; however, the friendship and deal ended when Stark had an affair with Jones' wife, turning the pair into bitter rivals.[13]
Later that year, some of his inventions, including a document with the formula of the explosive Molecular Nitramene as well as many other weapons, were stolen. He had discovered that someone had cut a hole into the vault in his mansion when he returned from a pleasurable trip to Monaco. Congressional hearings led by Senator Webster were held to determine if Stark was a traitor when some inventions were found overseas in enemy hands. Although Stark defended himself, much of America believed he had sold the weapons to the Russian army.
Believing that he would never be able to convince the public or government of his innocence, Stark decided to travel overseas to avoid being arrested and to recover his property. Stark met with Peggy Carter and commissioned Carter to recover his weapons and the Nitramene document before it was sold on the black market. He left his butler Edwin Jarvis to assist his friend on her mission, despite Carter's protests, before getting on a boat and leaving the United States. However, his absence at the hearings caused him to be labelled a fugitive, which put him on the top of the Strategic Scientific Reserve's most wanted list.[11]
Return to America
- "You certainly know how to pick your partners."
"Mr. Mink is a greedy blackmarket smuggler sure, but he got me back into the country and he's predictable in his greed; I like predictable, and I like greedy."
- ―Peggy Carter and Howard Stark
Stark paid smuggler Otto Mink a considerable sum to return from overseas and was collected by Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis. Mink's men attempted to get more money from Jarvis; however they were soon knocked out by Carter and Stark. As they were driving back to Stark's mansion, they soon discovered that several SSR agents were staking out Stark's intended safehouse; the SSR was more determined than ever to apprehend Stark, believing him responsible for Agent Ray Krzeminski's murder.
With nowhere else to turn, Carter was forced to take Stark to the Griffith Hotel where she was now living and where Stark had previously had affairs, much to Carter's dismay because she had to hide his presence from Miriam Fry. Once they arrived, Carter hid Stark in the dumbwaiter as she distracted Fry. Although they managed to get to Carter's floor, Stark did not make hiding easy with his flings with Lorraine and other tenants. The frustrated Carter pushed Stark into her room and claimed he was her cousin.
Stark promised that he would only be staying at the Griffith for three days before he flew to Rio de Janeiro, but first he asked Carter to go into the New York Bell Company and explore their lab to discover which of his inventions they currently held so he knew which ones were still being sold on the black market. When Carter asked why he was the one asking her to do this and not Jarvis, he explained that Jarvis did not have a Camera Pen, which he proudly revealed to her. Stark explained how it could be used so she could bring images of the inventions back to him.[2]
Lies Uncovered
- "Steve Rogers might not still be with us, but he can still save millions of people."
"And how many millions of dollars are you set to make?!"
- ―Howard Stark and Peggy Carter
Once Carter returned they looked through the images together, including some earlier pictures Stark had taken of a previous lover. Stark informed her that he needed her to steal the Blitzkrieg Button, a container holding Steve Rogers' blood. Stark figured that Rogers' blood had extraordinary abilities, including the cure for the common cold, which he did not want to lose to the Strategic Scientific Reserve. However Stark did not want Carter to know what the device held, so he instead told her that it was a device which would cause a citywide blackout if handled incorrectly.
When Carter returned with the Blitzkrieg Button, she had already opened it and discovered Stark's lie; she did not give Stark the sample. Furious at his lies, Carter punched and berated Stark for attempting to use something of their friend's for personal gain. Stark tried to defend himself, claiming that because of his family history he lied to protect himself and others from the truth, insisting that Rogers' blood could be used for so much good, keeping his legacy alive. Accepting that he should not have lied to his friend, Stark apologized but Carter did not accept and ordered him to leave.
Feeling guilty about his actions in lying to her, Stark later had Edwin Jarvis try to speak to Peggy Carter and reason with her, but the furious Carter ignored him as well. Stark waited at a shoeshine vendor for Jarvis, who claimed that, despite all the many times he had apologized for Stark over the years for various reasons, he also was disgusted by Stark's behavior with how he had treated Agent Carter. Shortly after Jarvis had left, the man sitting next to Stark asked to borrow the sports section of the newspaper Stark was using to hide his face from police; tired and frustrated, Stark handed the entire newspaper to the man.[2]
Surrender to the SSR
- "That's everything there is to know about the Battle of Finow."
"I really don't care about some old war story."
"Well you should, 'cause all those deaths are on me too."
- ―Howard Stark and Jack Thompson
Howard Stark and Edwin Jarvis entered the New York Bell Company Office and found it in ruins after a massive explosion just outside the window. They were greeted with guns drawn as Daniel Sousa ordered him to surrender; Stark explained that since he was not hired to build the security systems, he could easily bypass them, despite them being used in the White House. When Peggy Carter rolled her eyes, Stark joked that she had been missing him.
Stark was questioned by Jack Thompson who took offence at his laid-back attitude, reminding him of the deaths of Roger Dooley and Ray Krzeminski among those killed in the Massacre at the Cinema Theater. Stark explained that Johann Fennhoff was using a device called Midnight Oil which had been used by General John McGinnis in the Battle of Finow. He told the agents how he had invented the gas to give the allied soldiers more energy, but accidentally made a poison gas which McGinnis had used without his permission and Fennhoff wanted revenge for the massacre of Russian soldiers.
A plan was devised for Stark to make a public announcement where Fennhoff would likely attempt to kill him, allowing the SSR to capture him. As Stark had Jarvis assist him with getting ready, he also spoke to Carter about the plan, with Stark noting that the bullet proof vest provided was junk. He took time to examine his inventions and was horrified at how they had been kept before finding his own bullet proof vest. Carter insisted that he reconsider the plan but Stark claimed he needed to redeem himself in her eyes. As they were leaving Stark quietly stole the Blitzkrieg Button.[8]
Fennhoff's Revenge
- "Look, if you're gonna kill me, go ahead. I probably deserve it, but... leave innocent people out of it."
"I have no intention of killing you, Mr. Stark. I am going to make you suffer."
- ―Howard Stark and Johann Fennhoff
In their attempt to draw Johann Fennhoff into the open so he could be captured, Stark and the SSR set up a press conference presenting Stark as no longer a fugitive, but a hero, believing that Fennhoff would be forced to come and attempt to kill him. Stark ensured that Jack Thompson gave a long winded speech where he continued to compliment Stark, much to Thompson's annoyance. Fennhoff was not deceived; setting up a rifle to fire at the hearing.
When Stark and Edwin Jarvis attempted to escape in the chaos, they discovered that Fennhoff was using Officer Pike of the New York City Police Department as his thrall and he was able to capture Stark while Jarvis was helpless to save him. Pike did not listen to Stark's attempted bribes and delivered him to Fennhoff and Dottie Underwood, who killed the officer. As they drove along, Underwood held Stark at gunpoint and reminded him of their time together a few months earlier, although Stark failed to remember her name of "Ida Emke" and as a result was hit in the face.
Dottie Underwood and Fennhoff took Stark to one of his warehouses that Stark had shown Underwood months earlier; he still did not recognize her as "Ida Emke". Fennhoff explained his hatred for Stark; his brother was killed when Midnight Oil was deployed in Finow and, since Stark was its creator, Stark was ultimately to blame. Stark explained that he did not want the gas deployed; Fennhoff did not care and hypnotized him to fly a plane over the V-E Day anniversary celebration in Times Square, dispensing nine canisters of Midnight Oil, hoping the chaos would destroy New York City.
Flying the plane, Stark was continually hypnotized by Fennhoff using the radio. Suddenly Peggy Carter interrupted and begged Stark to return to normal. In his trance, he revealed that Captain America was his greatest creation and he wanted to find his true friend so he and Carter could be reunited. Knowing that if Stark reached the city, Jarvis was tasked to shoot him from the sky, Carter cried for Stark to let Rogers rest in peace and let him go. Carter's words finally got through to Stark and he freed himself of Fennhoff's mind control before turning around and returning to the hanger.
With New York City saved, Stark hugged Carter and Jarvis, thanking them for their help before he finally remembered Ida Emke's name. Stark thanked Carter and Angie Martinelli by giving them one of his houses free of charge. In response to the incident, Stark decided that no one could be trusted with his inventions, so he began a legal battle with the United States Government to have them returned and destroyed. Stark was informed by Jarvis that the Blitzkrieg Button was lost when he was captured by Fennhoff, leading him to believe that Captain America's blood was gone forever.[8]
Stark Pictures
- "Are they ready for a movie based on a comic book? Sounds like a dreadful idea."
"I'll have you know this is a historical drama. Kid Colt was a real person, and if it fails there'll be a substantial write off come tax season."
- ―Peggy Carter and Howard Stark
Moving out to Los Angeles to procure a defense contract, Stark was impressed by the scene and founded Stark Pictures, his own movie production company. Bringing Edwin Jarvis and his wife Ana Jarvis with him, Stark focused his efforts on seducing the location scout while also purchasing exotic animals, including a pet flamingo he named Bernard Stark, much to Jarvis' frustration.[14]
During this time, Stark added to a special car that he had for dates. In this leisure car was a button that adjusted the driver seat to a fully horizontal position if necessary, a special compartment with a change of clothes, and windows with adjustable tints for privacy. There was also a beacon inside, which Jarvis called "the sock on the doorknob", which Stark would activate when he wanted Jarvis to retrieve the car if Stark had abandoned it.[15]
Campaign Financier
To get the favor of any elected official, Stark gave campaign contributions to all candidates; this garnered him tickets to campaign parties and rallies. Two tickets in his name were given to Edwin Jarvis for the campaign fundraiser Calvin Chadwick was having.[16]
Zero Matter
- "Unbelievable, that rift knocked out an atomic explosion like a match. You got a blockbuster switch on your hands Peg, got any idea what could do that?"
"Zero Matter, or at least that's what Doctor Wilkes thought, I was hoping you'd have some answers."
- ―Howard Stark and Peggy Carter
Stark started directing his movie based on the Kid Colt comic book. During the filming of a major duel, Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis disrupted production by accidentally getting in the shot. The frustrated Stark called for lunch and went to speak to the pair, suggesting that Carter play one of the roles while she claimed a movie based on a comic book was a terrible idea, despite Stark arguing that the movie was actually a historical drama.
Returning to Stark's home in Los Angeles, Carter showed him footage of the creation of Zero Matter. Stark was incredibly impressed by the discovery and listened as Carter explained how Jason Wilkes had worked on it and been framed as a communist after his death as a result. Stark found a pin seemingly belonging to Wilkes which would make him a member of the Arena Club, a group which only allowed white older males as members which Stark had refused to join. Carter revealed that Dottie Underwood had tried to steal one of the pins, but Stark struggled to remember his kidnapper, until Jarvis mentioned what clothes he was wearing at the time.
Stark continued to relax and think with a collection of beautiful women he called his production assistants. Carter and Jarvis returned to discuss the Arena Club further, but Stark continued to dismiss them as nothing more than old rich white men. Carter explained she wished to sneak a recorder into their meeting room to make them incriminate themselves which Stark dismissed as a dull plan. Carter however insisted that it would be to his liking and stole his drink to convince him to listen to her further.[17]
Causing Chaos
- "You know what Terry, I think I might have been a little harsh on this place. You're not half bad."
"Mr. Stark it's time to go."
"Actually your clubs terrible and I'm never coming back!"
- ―Howard Stark and Edwin Jarvis
Following Peggy Carter's plan, Stark and Edwin Jarvis went to the Arena Club claiming they were interested in becoming members. Stark however complained about not getting a martini and the lack of anything exciting happening. Stating that the club needed more women, Stark opened the doors and welcomed his production assistants inside, which also allowed Carter to sneak through the club.
Stark was tasked with ensuring that the members and staff of the club were too distracted by the chaos him and his ladies were causing to notice Carter's investigation, a task he took great pleasure in, giving Jarvis the task of making the martinis while he enjoyed the company of the women and watched the security teams panic. Stark continued to speak to Torrance about how he was now enjoying the club until Jarvis informed him it was time to leave, at which point he claimed the club was terrible and left with the women to go back to his swimming pool.[17]
Working with Jason Wilkes
- "If he remains his corporeal self."
"We'll get there, I just need to stay alert. Coffee! Who wants a coffee? Maybe Irish coffee! Jarvis, where's the coffee around here?!"
- ―Jason Wilkes and Howard Stark
Peggy Carter returned to Stark's home in a panic as she had seemingly been infected by Zero Matter. While Stark ran some experiments, Daniel Sousa questioned how and why this was happening. Stark revealed that Carter was colder than everything around her, like Jane Scott, Meltzer and Andrew Henry before they died. Stark however believed that Carter was not dying due to the strange gravitational field around her and set about proving his theory.
Stark and Edwin Jarvis went into his lab where he had been working on a chemical mixture for processing film reels, intended to push Stark Pictures ahead of the competition. Spraying the mixture around Carter, he revealed Jason Wilkes, who had been turned invisible in the Zero Matter explosion, although Carter was unable to touch him. Wilkes revealed that when he had tried to steal the Zero Matter, Whitney Frost had stopped him and caused the explosion. Before he could reveal anything more, he began to fade away again before Stark could bring him back.
Stark and Jarvis stepped outside where he asked for more materials to bring Wilkes back, also requesting cheese and Fondue. Stark commented on how good a team Jarvis and Agent Carter made, noting that she put a spring in his friend's step; Stark made it clear that if Jarvis wished to leave his position to work alongside Carter full time then he would support the decision, but Jarvis assured him he was happy in his current position. Carter joined them and asked if she could help at all but Stark insisted that he would work day and night to figure out the solution.
Remaining true to his word, Stark stayed up all night drinking coffee to keep his energy going until he made Wilkes visible once again for an extended period of time, becoming so casual around Wilkes that he began walking through his body in the search for more coffee. After a second full night of working, where Wilkes impressed Stark enough to offer him a position in Stark Industries, Stark decided that he would go to Peru to seek the help of Abner Brody. Stark informed Agent Carter of this decision, while she tried to convince him to get some sleep. While Stark frantically got ready to leave, he put Wilkes in charge and told him that Jarvis would help in anyway that he could before storming out to find his passport.[17]
Stopping Whitney Frost
This section requires expansion
Stark sent Peggy Carter a design for a Gamma Cannon to assist her in her mission against Whitney Frost; later, he and Edwin Jarvis were called by Aloysius Samberly to help rescue Carter, Jason Wilkes, Jack Thompson, and Daniel Sousa from Frost. Their car hit Frost, allowing the others to escape. Stark and the rest went to the Strategic Scientific Reserve office to study Wilkes and form a plan to stop Frost.
Stark returned to his mansion, where as he ate with Carter and Wilkes he ran out of mustard, shouting for Jarvis to bring more. However, Jarvis was held captive by Joseph Manfredi, with Carter, Wilkes, and Jarvis afraid before Manfredi revealed that he knew Stark and meant Jarvis no harm. Stark welcomed Manfredi, who asked Stark, Carter, and Wilkes to help him save Frost from the Zero Matter inside her. Manfredi told Stark that Frost was planning to open another rift to obtain more Zero Matter. Stark began debating plans before Carter broke in with one of her own, stating that they should beat Frost at her own plan by opening the rift first and taking the Zero Matter from her. Stark suggested they steal Frost's plans, and Carter and Sousa left with Manfredi to retrieve Frost's work.
Once he had copies of Frost's plans, Stark began studying them with Wilkes and Samberly. The three quickly figured out what Frost had planned and progressed to arguing over naming rights to the machine. Carter broke in and asked if they had a plan; Wilkes replied that there were many problems to overcome. Carter told the three that they were brilliant and would solve the problem, walking away and naming the machine herself. Stark, Samberly, and Wilkes agreed that her name idea was good and returned to work.
Start of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- "Well clearly you knew my dad better than I did."
"As a matter of fact, I did; he was one of the founding members of S.H.I.E.L.D."
- ―Tony Stark and Nick Fury
Agent John Flynn disciplined Peggy Carter for her insubordination in the 'Zodiac' case until the phone rang. Stark informed Flynn that the mission was more a notch in Carter's belt than a feather in her cap and told Flynn that Carter was going to run S.H.I.E.L.D. with him, and Flynn was to inform Carter and 'let her know you're honored to bring her the news'. Stark later sat by a swimming pool wearing a robe later worn by his son Tony. Dum Dum Dugan sat with him as they discussed bikinis. Dugan asked Stark if he invented them and he said no, bikinis were French.[18]
Later Years
- "Everything is achievable through technology - better living, robust health and for the first time in human history, the possibility of world peace. I'm Howard Stark, and everything you'll need in the future can be found right here."
- ―Howard Stark
In 1954, Stark created the Stark Expo, a world wide technology fair where the world's new technology would be presented to show a bright future for mankind, promising a better world for everyone.[19] Stark eventually married a woman named Maria.[20] He continued developing weapons for the United States Armed Forces and S.H.I.E.L.D. during the Cold War. He met several American presidents, including Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard Nixon.[6]
Stark co-developed the Arc Reactor with Anton Vanko. Though the power of the Arc Reactor was immense, Stark saw it as the stepping stone to create a new, stable element that would render nuclear power obsolete. However, Vanko saw the Arc Reactor as a way to get rich and when Stark found out, he had Vanko deported.[20] Some time after that, he took on Obadiah Stane as a partner.[12] In 1970, Howard and Maria had a son, Anthony "Tony" Stark. Stark rarely showed his son any love. However, deep down, he cared about his son.[20]
Stark was limited by the technology of his time and could not finish the new element he had discovered, so he embedded the atomic structure of the new element in the 1974 Stark Expo model, and a message to Tony in one of his old home movies, stating that he had high hopes that Tony could figure it out with the current technology and change the world. Stark told his son in the film that he "is and always will be" his greatest creation.[19]
Working with Hank Pym
- "The Pym Particle is a miracle. Please, don't let your past determine the future."
"As long as I am alive, nobody will ever get that formula."
- ―Howard Stark and Hank Pym
In 1987, Stark asked Hank Pym for his Ant-Man Suit so that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents could use it to stop the radicals in East Berlin who were reverse-engineering HYDRA technology. Pym refused and said that he will be the only person to use the Pym Particles, accepting the mission for himself. Peggy Carter helped Pym train for the upcoming mission. When Pym returned, he informed Stark and Carter about what had happened during his time in Berlin. Stark tried to forbid Pym from doing any more missions, but Pym reiterated his statement that he would be the only one to use the particles and implied that he was willing to do further missions for the organization.[21]
However, in 1989, Hank Pym announced his resignation from the organization before Stark, Peggy Carter and Mitchell Carson, after he had discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. was trying to replicate the Pym Particles from the Ant-Man Suit, showing his anger by slamming Carson's head on the desk after he insulted him. Stark tried to convince him to stay, noting that he should not let the death of his beloved wife Janet van Dyne ruin the good work he had done. Pym did not listen and left the Triskelion and went into retirement, vowing to never allow anyone to get his formula.[22]
- "Help... my wife... help my wife."
- ―Howard Stark to the Winter Soldier
Eventually, Howard managed to recreate the Super Soldier Serum. Unfortunately for him, HYDRA's operative Vasily Karpov learned about his success.[23] Howard and his wife Maria were killed in an automobile "accident" secretly arranged by HYDRA on Long Island in 1991.[24] As the Winter Soldier attacked his car and made it crash against a tree, Howard managed to get out and call for help for his wife Maria. He recognized the Winter Soldier as Sergeant Bucky Barnes, but the Winter Soldier attacked Stark by repeatedly punching him in the face with his metal arm and cracked his skull - so Stark would appear to have died by his head crashing into the steering wheel - and then he placed the deceased body back in the seat.[23]
- "There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels."
- ―Tony Stark
Tony Stark inherited Stark Industries becoming, at age 21, the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company.[12]
Twenty-one years after becoming CEO, Tony watched the 1974 message video and examined the Expo model, helping him discover the new element, noting that his father was still teaching him even after being dead for nearly two decades. The new element was the key to a safer and more powerful Arc Reactor, which Tony needed to power the electromagnet protecting his heart without poisoning his blood. Creating a miniature Particle Accelerator in his basement lab, Tony was able to synthesize the new element, upgrade the design of the Arc Reactor to clean his blood, and create the Mark VI armor.[19]
Captain America was happy for his old friend that had a successful life and raised a family, seeing a lot of him in his son, Tony. Unfortunately, Steve would later have to fight Tony after they discovered that Steve's ally, the Winter Soldier, had murdered Tony's parents. After defeating Iron Man, Steve gives up his shield when Tony tells him that it belongs to Howard as he helped make it, out of sympathy for both Tony and Howard.[23]
- "I'm glad Howard got married. I only knew him while he was young and single."
- ―Steve Rogers
During his early life, Howard was considered to be quite charismatic and comical. He was well-known for having flings with different women, sometimes attending the Academy Awards to be around actresses. He had a jeweler create the "Stark Special", a bracelet created of the highest quality of gold and diamonds, to be given to each lover after he had Edwin Jarvis dismiss them. However, he eventually settled with a woman named Maria and had a son, whom they named Tony.
Sometime after his son's birth, his personality drastically changed. Howard's relationship with Tony was seemingly a strained one as Tony, for most of his life, saw Howard as a cold, calculating man and even believed Howard wanted to be rid of Tony, so much so, he believed Howard's happiest day was when he sent Tony off to boarding school.
Howard was shown to be very cautious as he left a film message for Tony in the event he died before Tony was old enough to understand the contents of the message. The contents of the film stated Howard left something very important behind for Tony, which ended up saving his life, and stated he actually loved his son more than anything in the world, even saying Tony is, was, and always has been his greatest creation.
According to Tony, Howard had a habit of talking about Captain America non-stop. He felt that, before the birth of Tony, that Captain America was his greatest creation largely due to the perception that all he created were weapons of mass destruction. He kept an underlying guilt about not finding Steve Rogers when he sought him after his disappearance.

Behind the Scenes
- Howard Stark was played by actor Gerard Sanders in Iron Man, John Slattery in Iron Man 2, Ant-Man and Captain America: Civil War, and Dominic Cooper in Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the television series Agent Carter. In the video game Captain America: Super Soldier he was voiced by Liam O'Brien.
- Howard Stark is one of a few characters to be played by a different actor in different films due to recast. The others are Bruce Banner, James Rhodes, Thanos and Fandral. Additionally, he is the only character in the movies to be played by three different actors.
- In an unused draft of Iron Man, Howard Stark featured as still alive, a ruthless businessman and the main villain, who adopted the identity of "War Machine".
- Howard Stark's appearance and personality in Iron Man 2 were based on that of Walt Disney, founder of the The Walt Disney Company, the parent company of Marvel Studios and Marvel Entertainment, though they had not yet acquired Marvel at the time Iron Man 2 was filming. Howard's appearance and personality in Captain America: The First Avenger and Agent Carter, however, much like his son, is based that of Howard Hughes. Much like Hughes, Howard Stark is a successful inventor, industrialist, and pilot, who had relations with a bevy of women, including several famous movie stars, and who also ventured into the film industry.
- In the comics, Howard is not Tony's biological father: he and Maria adopted him after their child, Arno, had to be hidden away due to a developmental disorder. The revelation was published after the release of Iron Man 3, and Howard is still Tony's biological father in the films.
