Fan Casting Howard Stark in David Hayter's Iron Man

The patriarch of Stark Industries and the film's true villain. A corporate titan with a philosopher's conviction, Howard believes order must be imposed on a chaotic world through overwhelming force. He has stolen his son's technology for decades, built a parallel weapons empire, and orchestrated a coup against the United States government—all while claiming to love the son he is destroying. In the War Machine armor, he becomes the darkest mirror of Tony: a father willing to kill his own child to protect his vision of global conquest. His tragedy is that his love is real and it changes nothing.
