Also gotta think about the age difference between Stark and Stark's wife (am I remembering Howard and Maria or did I make that up?), because she can't be giving birth at 50+ in 1971 so she HAS to be, like, half his age. Which means that there are all sorts of ways that can go: Obadiah is bereft because he's been the buddy up until this point, and hates her, which is a) because of the Daddy Stark / Obadiah Stane fun that was happening until she ruined the party, or b) he wants her for his own and never gets over that and totally could have been Tony's dad or c) OT3.
Of course there's always the possibility that Obi killed them, and is annoyed that Tony ends up in charge, but that could easily relate back to either a) or b) with either Howard or Maria ending up killed by accident because he or she wasn't supposed to be in the car that night.
UM. I have more thoughts on Stane specifically but I am being forced to go to lunch.
