Small-time warlord turned upright member of society. Still a man of few words, still makes babies cry, still wears hardleather vests and spares little time for pleasures of the flesh... but at least now he's only cutthroat in the marketplace.

Some in the underclasses consider him a philanthropist. It's true that his profits fund community development, excessive employee benefits, and an orphanage, but Stark denies that his motivations are noble. Social cohesion is just another source of strength.
