Who is Arno Stark?
Arno Stark is Tony Stark aka Iron Man’s lost brother. The character was created by Tom DeFalco and Herb Trimpe. He first appeared in 1984’s Machine Man #2 and Marvel is now taking him back to action. The origin of Arnocame with Maria Stark who suffered from severe problems during Arno’s birth with Howard Stark. It was told that the boy won’t survive, so Howard went everywhere to cure his unborn child.
He found himself rescuing the Rigellian Recorder 451 from the alien race known as the Greys, in exchange for means to ensure their child’s survival. In the future Marvel movies, Arno Stark inheritsStark Industries and the Iron Man armour.

For Iron Man 2020, Dan Slott and Christos Gage are building the story slowly. They are trying to deliver the new movie with the addition of the Machine Man setup. Tony has now accepted that his true self may be long dead. This came after Tony creates the designs for the signature Iron Man 2020 armour.
Arno Stark, Tony Stark’s lost brother is taking on the mantle from Iron Man next year in a new six-issue event. Kieron Gillen, comic book writer in a 2013 story that Tony Stark is actually adopted, and that Arno was Howard and Maria Stark’s biological son. Rather than using Tony’s armor for good, Arno used Iron Man as an agent of corporate espionage and as a mercenary. Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said, “Like the inexorable turning of pages on a calendar, we’ve been building up to the arrival of 2020 and the advent of Arno Stark as Iron Man ever since this latest run began!.”
