When Stan Lee created Tony back in the 1960's he probably took his inspiration from Howard Hughes.

Hughes had been the inspiration for a famous novel of the time, "The Carpetbaggers."

HH was played by Leo DiCaprio in 'The Aviator.'

If you watched agent Carter, Howard Stark is clearly just Hughes by a different name.
