No specific timeframe in mind

Tony Stark was born to Howard and Maria Stark on May 29, 1970. Tony's early life was often dominated by the absence of his father whom he would later describe as 'cold' and 'calculating'. Tony was also highly annoyed by Howard's constant talk about Captain America. However, from an early age, he quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind. At age four, he built his first circuit board, at age six his first engine, and at seventeen, he graduated summa laude from MIT. Stark claimed that at age 14, he still had a nanny. Then, his parents were killed in a car accident in 1991. Howard Stark's lifelong friend Obadiah Stane became the CEO of Stark Industries. At age 21 that same year, Tony became the new CEO and ushered in a new era for his father's legacy, creating smarter weapons, advanced robotics, and satellite targeting. He changed the face of the weapons industry.

On New Year's Eve in 1999, Stark, with his scientist paramour, Maya Hansen, met Ho Yinsen, who introduced Tony to Dr. Wu. After Tony arrogantly avoided crippled scientist Aldrich Killian, who wanted Stark's backing in his endeavor Advanced Ideas Mechanics. Tony completely forgot about the man, after promising to meet him on the roof, in favor of spending time with scientist Maya, offering some brief observations on her work and then leaving the morning after, unaware that Killian would become vengeful of Tony's set up.
