howard stark // inventor & visionary
"no! no, it's not. and for future reference, under no circumstance would i want anyone to shoot or otherwise hurt me. you got that"

the mind that built the future.
born to brilliance and bound for greatness,
howard stark was a man ahead of his time -
charming, arrogant, and undeniably intelligent.

a key figure behind project rebirth,
he helped bring the super soldier serum to life
and stood beside captain america on the front lines of innovation.

but science was only part of it.
he believed in progress. in purpose.
and in people like peggy carter -
the one person who challenged him and earned his respect.

after the war, he didn't stop.
until it all turned against him.
framed for selling his own stolen weapons,
labeled a traitor by the country he served -
howard became a fugitive in his own story.
but even then, he didn't run.
he reached out to the only person who still believed in him.

he would be cleared by peggy carter and edwin jarvis.
where howard was back to being a free man, working to become
an film maker and continue his work as the ceo and founder of 
stark industries.

behind the charm and fast cars was a man
who couldn't let the world fall apart -
so he built it back up, one invention at a time.

howard stark wasn't just a genius.
he was the blueprint.
