I’ve never hated Howard. I’m just going to say that up front because he was my father. Not much of a father, but still my father.

I spent 40 years living with the fact that nothing I ever did was good enough. I suppose that someone could look at the video footage of Howard telling me that I was his greatest creation, but when you think about it, it does not make much difference. I’m not some machine that Howard built, and I’m not even sure if he considers me being created for something such as taking over Stark Industries and inheriting his empire after he was gone or what. 

The bottom line is, Howard never had time for me. Nothing I ever did to try and impress him was good enough. He never told me he was proud of my achievements. To say that I wasn’t upset he couldn’t be there when I graduated from MIT would be a lie. It stung.

Even if me being his greatest creation was his way of telling me that I was important to him, it doesn’t make up for the fact that I spent my entire life thinking he never loved me at all. He wasn’t a nice man. He was cold, distant, always more concerned with his work than anything else. No one is perfect and parents make mistakes. The fact of the matter still remains:
