Question for Marvel fan friends

[meyham_m2]

Question that's been bugging me for a while: If Tony Stark's father was working on the Captain America project during WWII when Tony was a child, how old is Tony supposed to be now? Because I can understand how he'd still be in his 30s (and thus appealing to a young audience) when the Iron Man series was created in the 1960s, but how is it

I think the understanding for movie canon is that Tony is in his forties and Howard had kids really late in life.

Not taking into account the timeline in the beginning of IM1 :d That could possibly upset things. Take for granted comics books and making stuff up as they go.

"Howard had kids really late in life."

Ah, I wondered if they might try that.
