Obadiah Stane

Obadiah Stane (a.k.a. Iron Monger)

Obadiah Stane was the business partner of Tony Stark, and a friend of his father, Howard Stark.

After Howard's death, Obadiah became interim CEO of Stark Industries until Tony took over officially.

Stane's greed and jealousy of Tony led him to join forces with the Ten Rings. He ordered an attempted assassination of Tony by the group, so Stane could become CEO once again. When this failed, Tony was taken prisoner by the Ten Rings in Afghanistan. He supplied the Ten Rings with Stark Industries weapons, to facilitate their campaign in Gulmira.

When his involvement with terrorists was exposed by Pepper Potts, Stane created the Iron Monger Armor and attempted to kill Stark himself, ultimately leading to his own death.
