[color=853333][b]Origin and Brief Bio:[/b][/color]
[indent]Tony Stark is the CEO of Stark International, co-founder of the superhero team known as the Avengers, and most importantly the superhero known as Iron Man.

Anthony Stark was born thirty-four years ago in upstate New York, the progeny of Howard Stark – the man who had defined industrial growth for over three decades. Destined for greatness, Tony was to follow in the footsteps of the genius that the Stark dynasty had come to be known for. Stark International had evolved over the past century since its formation as Stark Industries in 1851 by Issac Stark Sr, transforming from a simple weapons manufacturer to an enterprise of multiple fields including automobiles, energy, pharmaceuticals, mass retail, and real estate. This dynastic industrial enterprise and legacy was inspiring to a young Tony Stark, a child who was soon discovered as a child prodigy the likes of which seemed fantastical and simply unreal. By the age of fourteen, Tony Stark had been in-and-out of several colleges and universities, seemingly taking what he needed to know before acquiring credentials he felt he barely even needed.

Before Y2K rung the bells of the new century the young Tony Stark was working at Stark International as the future face of the company as he began to work alongside Obadiah Stane, the acting CEO of the company following the death of Tony’s father. Following his employment, Tony’s brilliance would bring Stark International many contracts as a weapon manufacturer with the young inventor’s development of repulsion technology that armaments such as the Jericho Missile and Centurion Bomb. Eventually, Tony found himself betrayed and left for dead in the Middle East and Iron Man was born. He hasn’t looked back since.[/indent]

[color=6C88A6]"Your file says you have some... suits, was it? What say you put one of those suit things on and see whether this shield you designed is going to get me killed or not. Better to find out now than later when I'm in the field, right?"[/color]

Tony Stark couldn’t be smiling any wider. Not only did he do SHIELD’s job for them with the video decryption, build a better and more modern shield for the new Captain America, but now he had just been offered a chance to test his own work against his own suit. The hard light shield was a scientific marvel that ran on the same arc reactor technology that powered his life and by proxy the ‘Iron Man’ suit. He was incredibly thrilled with how this night was going even if he couldn’t help but think this american standard was goading him on.

[color=853333]“It’s on like Donkey Kong, Cap.”[/color]

His eyes glanced over to the briefcase he had brought with him that contained his suit for inevitable ‘just in case’ scenarios— the case itself leaning against the terminal where they had finished up the prototype shield.

[color=853333]“Pitz. Can you show us one of those fancy simulation-training room thingamajigs?”[/color]

[color=tan]“Of course.”[/color]

This was exciting. He had fought super-powered terrorists and the one scuffle with Rhodes when a little misunderstanding went south, but he had never fought another ‘hero’, not yet anyway, and for his first experience with that to be against the Captain America felt empowering; as if everyone doing good wasn’t as important as him, reaffirming his place at the top of the metaphorical superhero food chain.

Agent Fitz led the two down several corridors and into an elevator to a sublevel that contained a large room CADMUS tended to use as an experimentation and training room; a room that Mockingbird, Agent 13, Wasp, and a plethora of other agents had been in many times before. 

[color=853333]“Fancy.”[/color] He looked to the hero beside him, [color=853333]“You sure you don’t want to cancel? It’s okay to be scared.”[/color]

[color=6C88A6]"You're the one that ought to be scared, Stark."[/color]

[color=853333]“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Cap.”[/color] Stark stifled a chuckle as his faceplate slammed down over his face and the glowing eyes of the suit came to life. Tony Stark was never scared. He had faced down hateful terrorists, ornery journalists, and federal agents. He sneezed harder than it looked like this new Captain America was able to dish out. In all reality Tony felt guilty that he had to embarrass a legend in such a way but then again it was that same person who challenged him to field test it against his own armor. Was he high? Nah, he looked like a [i]Republican[/i] so probably not.

[color=853333]“JARVIS, hit me up with something… [i]American[/i].”[/color]
