Son of Jack
Prologue
Tony Stark was never the backup plan.
Metaphorically, if life was a game of American football, Tony would be the quarterback, captain and MVP combined in a single person.
As the only child of Stark Industries' founder and celebrated inventor, Howard Stark and his wife Maria, Tony was born into a world of privileges. He had a huge mansion for a home, was entrusted in the care of a professional nanny up until the age of fourteen, graduated summa cum laude from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology three years later and was made CEO of Stark Industries at twenty-one.
He had the ability to get or do whatever he wants - within reason or not - with a simple snap of his fingers.
Tony was many things: a genius, billionaire, industrialist, CEO, playboy and recently proclaimed superhero Iron Man – but a substitute was never one of them.
Ever.
However, he was one now (against his absolute will) and Tony did not like it a single bit, judging by the hard-faced glare he was sending the documents laid out in front of him.
