Hybrid Hero", The Future was born when Tony Stark merged into a unique symbiotic relationship with the scarab named "Khaji Da." Together they are still figuring out the exact nature and extent of their abilities.
"
Iron Plague", Tony created the battlesuits and gadgets of a number of heroes and villains (though the villains started out as heroes). He is a mentor figure to some, a supplier to others, and a foe to those that have fallen from grace.
"
Reach Beyond His Grasp", Some Stark technology that was released to the public, or more mundane private parties, may contain Reach technology ... and who knows what consequenses that may entail.
"
A Mere Man", The Future isn't always super-powered, sometimes he's a normal man -- with an alien probe implanted in him. Regardless, when the scarab isn't active Tony doesn't have any powers.
BACKGROUND:In the closing days of World War 2 a team of marines who aided in a raid on a HYDRA installation brought back a Blue Scarab. Engineer and consultant to the military Henry Stark (Tony's grandfather) took an interest in the item and bought it off one of the marines claiming he wanted it as a souvenir. Howard knew there was something extra ordinary about it, however, and studied it off an on throughout his career, eventually passing the alien artifact down to his son.
Decades later the son of a wealthy industrialist and head of Stark Industries, Howard Stark, and Maria Stark, Anthony Edward Stark is born on Long Island. A boy genius, he enters MIT at the age of 15 to study electrical engineering and computer science. After his parents are killed in a car accident, he inherits his father's company. As well as the Scarab, which he discovers while going through some of his father's belongings in a private laboratory Tony fell asleep reading one of his father's journals When he woke the Scarab was nowhere to be found and his back was in terrible pain.
One day while vacationing in Tokyo, Tony is ambushed by a group of masked people, and kidnapped. They ask his questions about his father, his father's research, and try to get him to reproduce something called an arc reactor. While being held he meets another young man being held hostage, and together they are forced to work on this project which the madmen are convinced they can create. They two young men know they can't provide what is demanded of them, or are unwilling to, and hatch a plan to escape.
It goes terribly, and Tony's companion dies in the attempt. But in the violence of the escape the Scarab awakened and surrounded Tony in a protective armor. With his new Scarab armor Tony meets out vengeance on the kidnappers before returning home. Tony thoroughly enjoyed the experience the armor gave him, but the harsh realities of what he went through, kidnapping and the lose of a companion, made him realize the world needed to change. It needed protector, real heroes who could do things beyond that of mortal men ... like he could.
Shortly after his kidnapping Tony began a series of bold heroics, at times putting aside school and the family company. Divine burst of inspiration hit him constantly as ideas for new Stark-tech constantly flooded his mind. The development of these new technologies inspired Tony further. If he was helping the world, how much more so would two armored champions ... or ten? Tony set to work building new armors, and recruiting pilots for them to form a team of Iron Men.
Tony's judge of character was good, but he failed to realize he was using Reach technology to create the battlesuits. Battlesuit that carried a corrupted Reach Infiltrator program that would eventually drive the pilots to villainy. When his team shattered under the weight of broken psyches Tony was a solo act again.
