Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

Yeah, it's Howard and Maria in comic canon, but I don't know if they ever nail it down in the movie. They might during the Apogee awards? I don't remember.

And yeah, there's got to be a signficant age gap between them. I don't know if I'd go double in age, though, unless we're working with a v. young mother -- Tony's dad is shown as vigorous late middle age in the photos with Tony and Obediah. This parses with the Manhattan data point if we assume that he was a young man in his early twenties.

And yeah. There's some itneresting stuff to be thrown there -- I love how Obediah's posture with Tony in that early scene of pain and deception echos his posture with Tony's dad in that photo.

Also. if Tony's much-admired Dad didn't marry until late in life, leads to some interesting thoughts about whether Tony's playboy-ing is, in some way, modeled after Daddy's.
