Ezekiel Stane

Ezekiel Stane is the son of Obadiah Stane, and he has spent his adult life trying not to be. Raised on his father's passion for technology, he fell in love with the field from the healing end: bionics, in his view, exist to mend people, not to arm them. Then he learned the truth about what his father had been and how he died, and Ezekiel folded himself away, moving to Evanston, Illinois under the name Joe McGillicuddy. He works as a tech ethicist, attends therapy, gets blackmailed almost daily by a coworker named Frank, and keeps a guilt-ridden secret in a converted silo: a bunker of black-market bionics he cannot bring himself to touch, bought and hoarded but never used, under a LIVE LAUGH LOVE sign.
