History[]
Before Iron Man[]
Stark Industries was founded by Howard Stark in 1939, a great pioneer in different types of technology and constantly assisted the United States Armed Forces with different and innovative weapons, helping the government to develop the Project Rebirth in the 1940s. Under the leadership of Howard Stark, Stark Industries also started the Stark Expo, also known as the World Exposition of Tomorrow, an exposition located in New York City, bringing together great minds and showcasing new technology.
During 1960s, Stark created an Arc Reactor along with Anton Vanko, a source which provided free, pure and efficient energy for Stark Industries' main plant. In the 1980s, they developed surveillance drones.
Following the death of Howard Stark in 1991, Stark Industries was inherited by his son Tony Stark, with the help of Obadiah Stane, although Stane was appointed interim CEO immediately after Howard's death before his son could officially assume the position of CEO.
Tony Stark gained control of Stark Industries and the company continued to flourished financially in the weapons business. In 1999, a bomb manufactured by Stark Industries landed in Sokovia, hitting the apartment building of the Maximoff family. However, it failed to detonate, but still killed Pietro and Wanda Maximoff's parents. Years later, Thaddeus Ross requested to Stark Industries the Stark Sonic Cannon that the United States Armed Forces could use in their ongoing military operations to locate and capture Bruce Banner. They continued to sell weapons to the military, including the Accelerated Wave Explosion. They demonstrated the weapon at the Yuma Proving Ground and had Pepper Potts deliver the specifics.
Iron Man (film)[]
In 2008, Tony Stark was in Afghanistan to demonstrate the new Stark Industries Jericho missile. However, Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Rings and developed a suit of armor powered with a miniaturized Arc Reactor to escape captivity. Upon his return to Los Angeles, Stark decided the company would no longer produce weaponry, due to the fact that he had discovered his captors now possessed illegal Stark weaponry and technology.
Stark further developed his armor to create new models, such as the Iron Man Armor Mark III and started looking for and destroying stolen Stark tech, which he later discovered Obadiah Stane was selling behind his back. Stark faced Stane, who had created his own suit of armor, and defeated him in battle at the Stark Industries Headquarters.
Iron Man 2[]
Tony gave Pepper Potts the position of CEO for Stark Industries.
Six months later, Stark re-inaugurated the Stark Expo and was attacked by Anton Vanko’s son Ivan, who thought Howard Stark was responsible for Anton's misery and death, although Anton was deported because he tried to use the reactor to his own profit.
Avengers[]
In 2012, Stark Industries opened a new base in New York City, building the Stark Tower (film), which was powered by a new prototype Arc Reactor inside the Tower. Potts also procured permits to build a Tower in Washington, D.C..

In 2024, Stark Industries Combat Drones, along with E.D.I.T.H. and the Stark Industries Satellite, were used by Mysterio to stage an extraterrestrial attack in London.

As a result, Stark Industries landed in a center of a large controversy, regarding the usage of the drones and Spider-Man's involvement, so the United States Department of Damage Control raided Stark Industries Headquarters for investigation, although Hogan had no comment.
