    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.’

        Could be.

        Off topic but fun.

        The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?
