He will most definitely have something to do with Cap. Or, maybe it was Stark's grandfather? Would Howard have been old enough to have been involved in WWII and still be the guy we saw in the 60's films from IM2?

I was thinking along the same lines with regards to Howard, which was why I said it may be his father, but I guess we would have to accept some leeway on ages etc if they used Howard.

If you put Stark down as 45 (Downeys real age) and was born in 65, and say that the video of Howard was around 1969 or so, where he was maybe of a similar age, then that would put him in his late teens or early 20s in WWII.
Its workable.
