Stark introduces himself to Howard Potts
In 1970, Stark was looking for Arnim Zola at Camp Lehigh when he came across Howard Potts, who introduced himself as MIT guest. Once Stark asked Potts if he had seen Zola, Potts replied that he had not seen him.
Stark speaking with Howard Potts
Walking towards Potts in the facility, Stark then engaged him in a conversation, talking about how green he was getting and asked him about going outside. Once Potts accepted his advice, Stark offered back his briefcase, before asking him if he was one of those beatniks. After Stark had bought flowers for his wife, who was pregnant, he was asked by Potts about the flowers he was carrying. Stark informed him that his wife is expecting a gift from him after spending too much time at the office and that a kid is coming along.
Stark discusses fatherhood with Howard Potts
When Potts asked how far along she was, Stark informed him that she was annoyed by his loud chewing and that she would force him to eat dinner in the pantry. Potts informed him that he had a daughter and Stark told him that a daughter would be nice. Once outside with his son, Stark told Potts that what if his baby was called Elmanzo, much to Potts' surprise. Stark then asked his son if he was nervous when his kid was born, with him responding that he was, in fact.
Stark leaves the facility with Edwin Jarvis
Stark then followed up with further questions, to which Potts told him that he raised a kid through the advice of what he learned from his father, as they share experiences with their childhood. Potts then gave a very confused Stark a hug before leaving, prompting him to ask Edwin Jarvis, if he had ever met Potts before. Jarvis merely replied that Stark had met many people. Although Stark stated that Potts looked very familiar, he told Jarvis that Potts also had a weird beard before leaving Camp Lehigh.[2]
