History

Early Life

Morley Erwin was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. He attended M.I.T. gaining a masters in electrical engineering.

Stark International

Morley Erwin was an employee of Stark International and later Stane International, and friend of both Tony Stark and James Rhodes. When Stark was battling alcoholism, Rhodes took on the mantle of the superhero Iron Man, with Erwin's scientific help, as well as that of his sister, the equally gifted Clytemnestra Erwin. Clytemnestra held a torch for Stark, but never told him, so Morley was the only person who knew of his sister's feelings for their friend.

When Stark International was taken over by Stark's enemy and business rival Obadiah Stane, Erwin and Rhodes resigned from the now renamed Stane International. Later, to help Stark get back on track, the Erwin's joined forces with him to set up the electronics company Circuits Maximus. The company operated successfully for a while, until it was targeted by Stane, who bombed their building, killing Morley.

Clytemnesta blamed their friend Stark for Morley's death, and secretly hatched a plot to take revenge against Stark. Unfortunately for her, the plot ended up costing Clytemnestra her life, just as her brother had lost his.
