You’ve already seen the deeper connections in the MCU, especially between Peter Parker and Tony Stark right?
However, in today’s article, we’ve got a theory that could really make you see their relationship in a new light.
It’s all about whether Tony, without knowing it, might be linked to what happened to Peter’s parents. It’s a mix of what we know and some pretty interesting timing.
Let’s take a closer look together and see what you think.
Unraveling the Timeline
Let’s start with the basics. “Spider-Man: Homecoming” shows us a 15-year-old Peter Parker swinging through the city. Flashback to 2008, Tony Stark emerges as Iron Man.
This places Peter at about seven years old, coinciding with the loss of his parents.
The timeline is our first clue into a potential connection between the death of Peter’s parents and the debut of Iron Man.
Piecing Together the Puzzles: the Stark Expo Incident
During the events of “Iron Man 2,” the Stark Expo in Queens turns into a battleground. This is not just any event, but one that ends in tragedy for several attendees.
A critical piece of this puzzle is the young boy who stands up to a Hammer Drone, only to be saved by Iron Man.
This boy, as confirmed by the director, is indeed Peter Parker.
Understanding that Peter is the boy at the Expo lends depth to the dynamic between him and Tony.
Peter grows up idolizing the man behind Iron Man, possibly without realizing the extent of their connection.
Tony, on his part, becomes a mentor and father figure to Peter, unaware of the deeper, more tragic link between them.
Back to the confirmation that Peter was the brave boy at the Stark Expo adds a poignant layer to our theory.
If Peter, living in Queens and present at the Expo, experienced this traumatic event, it’s plausible to suggest his parents could have been casualties of the chaos that ensued.
This leads us to the heart-wrenching possibility that Tony Stark, albeit indirectly and unknowingly, might have been involved in the circumstances leading to the death of Peter’s parents.
Last Words
This theory, bolstered by the director’s confirmation, paints a complex picture of heroism, tragedy, and the intertwined fates within the MCU.
It highlights the unforeseen consequences of our actions, a theme that resonates deeply in the stories of both Iron Man and Spider-Man.
