Born into an organization more secret than HYDRA or the Red Room with the goal of peace he was trained since he could walk. A photographic memory really helps when you're trained to fight with every style and speak every language. Grueling training and even worse living conditions prepared him for the worst in every situation. Being taught how to read people made conversation and missions easier. He was taught everything.

By the time he was fifteen, he was the most dangerous person in the organization. He had killed many. Some innocent but he had no choice. Their secrecy is their survival. He still regrets it and already sees himself as a monster.

At sixteen, he signed up for a top-secret project that gave him certain... advantages. But of course, with great things there are side effects.

At seventeen, their enemies found their home base and massacred almost everyone. Him and three others that he knows of got out.

By nineteen, he was the most dangerous man in the world, had gotten a PhD in Psychology of all things, and created an identity for himself.

By twenty-two, he was the world's most dangerous and notorious assassin. He was a myth until he proved otherwise. He was a popular topic of conversation.

At twenty-three, he was approached by a man. A higher-up in the government. A secret branch. He was offered to join their organization and do good. Protect people. SHIELD, they called it. What was his name exactly and why is this important?

Because he's the Ghost. And he's just getting started.

Y/N Stark. You are the daughter of the famous Tony Stark. Born in 1990, by a twenty year old Tony Stark. You don't know who your mother is...she was just a one night stand who passed away giving birth to you. Your father didn't want you...At least that's what you thought. Growing up you didn't have the best relationship, he never put you first and liked to hook up with girls and Party instead of being a father. In 2006, at the age of sixteen you were kidnapped when you had run off after your dad skipped out on yet another important event in your life. Hydra had taken you and tortured you...tried to break you. You were given many different experimental serums and forced to fight. You eventually meet a mysterious man who goes by the name "The Winter Soldier". But you just call him Winter. Training was tough...but you survived it because of Winter. You grow to care about him...that is until Hydra took you away and threw you into Cryo. Waking up was a blur, but you were blindfolded and taken to a new facility where you earned a few special abilities. You found your father again...everything was strange. He had changed and was now dating his assistant. And he was part of something called the Avengers. This story follows your complicated relationship with your father and your story of metal health issues. And of course love. I WILL NOT OUT WARNINGS IN THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTERS! ⚠️Smut, Violence, Language.

[Male Reader x Marvel] Being a hero is a hard task, and not because of tough enemies, or the threat of death, but because it was about making a choice, a choice to take responsibility into one's own hands, and strike out for what they believed was right. In a world filled with far-out aliens and hellish demons, killer androids and super-powered maniacs, being a hero was even harder. From a young age, [Y/N] always had a keen understanding about what he believed was right and wrong, that people who hurt others for money and fame or out of sadistic enjoyment deserved punishment, that justice was necessary, and without it everything would fall apart. The death of his mother by the hands of some rogue gunman only solidified his resentment towards those he considered to be the scum of society. He had always wanted to be a hero, like Captain America or the Human Torch, from the comics he had always read, front to back. Men who held the power to change the world for the better, and weren't afraid to do what was right, despite what obstacles laid ahead of him. However, unlike his heroes, he held no superpower to help him on his path, no super-strength or speed, hardened skin or flaming skull, setting the rookie vigilante up for a bitter struggle. And yet, on a day that would have appeared just like any other, upon the seemingly unimportant bite from a strange, discoloured spider. On a less-than-interesting field trip, he would be granted the powers needed to fight for his convictions. the ability to now truly make those who hurt others pay for their actions. He made a promise as a child that he would make the world a better place, a world where people like his mother wouldn't have had to die, and he intended to follow through on that promise to the very end...

Full title: Of Life And Hope (Marvel X OCish Fem! Reader) --- Your life had never been easy as you were shuffled around different orphanages while you claimed fake last names to survive in this world. Why? You didn't know. You just knew you were different. A bad different, for most people. The only thing you still had was hope. ... And your friends, your stuff, your life, your knowledge, etc. But the point stayed - this wasn't your place in the world and you were about to find out what was. --- Note 1: So here's a bit of backstory: - The fanfiction doesn't follow the storyline at the start, though it might come to chill on it every once in a while or perhaps towards the end. - This is set after Civil War and Homecoming, during Ragnarok BUT there is the little twist that Hela died (before Thor and Loki were born) in a battle so Ragnarok doesn't happen - it's just set in the time where it did... Or that's the plan right now, it might still change. - After Civil War, they (as in Cap's team) didn't have to go into hiding because it was proved Bucky was brainwashed and they all were just told to lay low until people's anger blew over. Note 2: Although it's a female reader story, everyone else is welcome to read, also (like every other story on my profile since the gender doesn't play a too big part but it's more comfortable for me to write with a certain pronoun). Disclaimer 1: I don't own the cover picture, I found it on Canva and edited it with Canva, too. If you are the owner and wish me to change it, please reach out. Disclaimer 2: I do not own Marvel.
