History[]
Howard Stark was born on Wednesday, August 15, 1917 in Richford, New York[1] to a father, Howard Stark, Sr., who sold fruit and a mother who sewed shirtwaists for livings. Growing up, he learned that society puts limits to success based on one's economic status or gender, so he became good at lying to get what he needed.[2]
