A silver tongue and a tuxedo suit
With a mind that’s bearing forbidden fruit.
From the Long Island docks to the desert sand
He’s got a blueprint gripped in a grease-stained hand.
He’ll sell you a dream or a brand new car
Then build you a bridge to the furthest star.
He’s the king of the lab, the prince of the floor
The man who unlocked the atomic door.
Oh, Howard’s building the future today
While the rest of the world is just in the way!
With a drink in his hand and a spark in his eye
He’s chasing the lightning across the sky.
From the Flying Wing to the Super-Soldier gear
The man’s got a heart that’s stranger than fear.
A genius, a playboy, a visionary spark—
The world’s moving forward with Howard Stark!
He gave Steve the shield and he gave Peggy the lead
Providing the tech for every hero’s need.
But behind the flash and the Hollywood smile
Is a man who’s been lonely for a country mile.
He’s got secrets in vaults and a burden of lead
Thinking ‘bout the weapons and the lives they’ve fed.
He’s a complicated father to a world in flux
Searching for the truth in the gears and the lux.
"Everything is achievable through technology,"
Is his gospel, his creed, his mythology.
He’s a man of his time, yet he’s out of his era
A pioneer walking through a hall of mirrors.
He might be a rogue, he might be a shark
But you can't see the light without the Stark!
Oh, Howard’s building the future today
While the rest of the world is just in the way!
With a drink in his hand and a spark in his eye
He’s chasing the lightning across the sky.
From the Flying Wing to the Super-Soldier gear
The man’s got a heart that’s stranger than fear.
A genius, a playboy, a visionary spark—
The world’s moving forward with Howard Stark!
He left a message on a celluloid reel
For a son who would inherit the heart of steel.
"My greatest creation... was always you."
