They have been edging closer and closer.

Bruce Wayne, son of industrialist and philanthropist Thomas Wayne, whose parents were randomly killed by criminals, internalises the anger and pain, develops wonderful toys and becomes the crimefighter Batman.

Whereas Tony Stark, son of industrialist and philanthropist Howard Stark, whose parents were randomly killed in a car crash, later revealed to be criminals, externalises the anger and pain, develops wonderful toys and becomes the crimefighter Iron Man.

That was until Kieron Gillen changed the plot as Tony Stark discovered that he was adopted.

Recently writer Brian Bendis has been delving into that, revealing his mother as a ex-popstar-turned-record producer in London who used to be a SHIELD Agent – as did his father.

His mother, still alive. And his father?

Today's International Iron Man #7 reveals him to be a double agent working for Hydra.

And that Tony's mother killed Tony's father as a result of this revelation before he was ever born.

No spilling pearl necklace this time… but he did grow a moustache before he died.

Nature or nurture?
