Let's meet obscure time traveling hero
Ace Buckley!
Wait...
what was that?!?
Toni Stark?!? What the what?!?
Yes, his companion is named
Toni Stark. Let's hop backwards a few issues, to the origin tale...
Ace builds a time machine...
...he shows it off to his
childhood friend Toni Stark...
And, "
impulsively as always," she sends them on a trip. Oh, Toni...
Anyway, this time out, they're visiting Peru during
Simon Bolivar's revolution...
But they get captured, and we witness something that happened pretty much every story:
Toni Stark sheds her clothes!!!
They escape, and decide that they must help ensure the Spaniards' defeat!
The secret to stopping the Spanish?
Blowing them up!! Good thing we have none of those qualms about stepping on butterflies or killing hundreds of soldiers!!
So:
Oh, dynamite, is there nothing you can't make better?!?
Sadly, there
were no further adventure of Ace and Toni Stark...
But they're probably public domain now, and with Ace's travels in the space-time continuum, well, there's no reason they couldn't accidentally hop a dimension or two, and end up in
Marvel-616, in
2018, right? Absolutely
no reason that they couldn't encounter, say,
Iron Man, right?!?
And you just know that Tony Stark would hit on Toni Stark. That alone would be worth the price of admission!
And if they found a third character, named
Toné, well...
Come on, Marvel--we're waiting!!
From
Startling Comics #3 (1940) and
#10 (1941)

...And then Tony and Toni have a son, who grows up to rock the facial hair like his father, and become a time traveller like his mother...
... and that man becomes Immortus!
I tell ya, this stuff writes itself!
