Edward Stark

"'I'm a Stark, doing half-hazard, world threatening plans with unearned confidence and a cocky smirk is in my DNA. Lucky for you, I'm a Potts too.' - Edward Stark"Edward James Stark, otherwise known as Iron Lad, is the eldest child of Anthony "Tony" Stark and Virginia "Pepper" Potts, and older brother of Rosalie "Rose" Stark. He grew up with a sheltered and privileged lifestyle by both his parents, which meant he got better opportunities and faced less hardships. Both his parents were very busy in his childhood, so he was mainly raised by nannies. Growing up he wanted to impress his father with his inventions, and while Tony tried hard, he could never give Edward all the attention he wanted as he remained a member of the Avengers. Edward was close childhood friends with James Rogers, and infatuated with Shay Wilson. When the Avengers disbanded he was fourteen years old and was unfamiliar about a world without heroes.

Edward is now nineteen years old, and is studying at M.I.T, which means he hardly sees his family anymore. He is a genius who is focussing on business now as he wants to take over the business aspect to Stark Industries, but still has an interest in science and mechanics. When Rose informed her brother of the threat and asked him for help, he agreed to return to do whatever it took to protect and assist his younger sister. He took on the mantle of Iron Lad with his own suit made by himself and his sister. He was a part-time member of the Young Avengers, as his main focus was his education, and he returned to M.I.T. He remained infatuated with Shay.

He is portrayed by Andrew Garfield.
