Let us all just accept a moment to bask in the beauty that is Marvel’s Agent Carter because I know I’m not the only one that was worried they would muck it up – especially considering there is so much riding on its success. The future of female-driven comic adaptations is in Peggy Carter’s hands. But we can all breath a sigh of relief because the first two episodes of Marvel’s Agent Carter were fabulous fun with an unashamedly feminine flair.
It’s 1946, the war is over and while Peggy Carter is still active for the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), things just aren’t like they employ to be. As the GI’s get discharged, the girls get kicked out of the workforce. Although Peggy Carter has managed to hold onto her job, she’s treated more like a secretary than an actual Agent. When Howard Stark is accused of selling dangerous weapons to the nation’s enemies he calls on Representative Carter to clear his name. With the serve of Howard’s butler Edwin Jarvis, Peggy sets out to find out who is framing Stark.
There are so many things about Marvel’s Agent Carter that work. The period setting gives audiences a perspective on the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is unlike anything found in

Commonly interpreted as: Straight
But Really: Howard Stark is known for creature a bit of a ladies guy. In fact, one of the running jokes in Season 1, Episode 4 of Agent Carter has Stark emerging from different women’s rooms at distinct points in the story.
In that similar episode (Season 1, Episode 4), Stark has the tracking exchange with Peggy Carter:
It’s established at this point that Steve (Captain America) means quite a bit to Peggy Carter because she was totally in love with him. Thus, whether intended or not, this exchange totally implies that Stark is also quite infatuated with Captain America. Stark is totally bi/pan.

Here’s the thing about Bisexual person Howard Stark:
This is not a slam dunk for bisexual representation. Absolutely not. In our climate of overwhelming heteronormativity and blatant bisexual erasure, nothing brief of the B pos itself really CAN be. That much is fact.
The simple fact is that nothing short of the B word it self is TRULY indisputable advocacy. Obstinate heteronormativity and biphobia will give leverage for people to deny the blatantly obvious and narratively clear.
And that’s very sad.
Because Agent Carter gave us some pretty damn explain narrative parallels here. No one denies that Peggy’s love for Steve is romantic. No one denies that Howard has love-related interest in women. Both Peggy and Howard sketch direct, clear, and deliberate parallels between Peggy’s devotion for Steve and Howard’s love for Steve. In a culture and climate that was truly expose and equal, Howard’s bisexuality would be accepted without question (except, maybe, with the caveat of perhaps pansexuality.)
I will argue bedtime and day that Bisexual person Howard Stark is canon. If this were two women talking about their shared love for one man, there would be no question. If
Marvel's Agent Carter: 10 Things We Learned About Jarvis Before He Became Vision
Tony Stark's artificial intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just A Very Intelligent System) is more than just his personal butler. JARVIS was, in fact, based on his father, Howard Stark's, real-life butler Edwin Jarvis. Jarvis was tasked with helping Peggy Carter clear Howard Stark's name in the television series Agent Carter. "When you’re not humiliating him, that fellow up there is my butler, Edwin Jarvis. He’ll help you any way he can."

The player of Jarvis in Marvel's Agent Carter was James D'Arcy instead of Paul Bettany (Vision in the MCU). He also made a short appearance in Avengers: Endgame, being the first Marvel actor from the television side of things to make the jump to the cinematic universe. But even if audiences hold become familiar with both Jarvis and Vision, there's short-lived about his pre-AI life that people know. Here are 10 things about Jarvis' pre-Vision being that everyone needs to know.
He Had A Wife
Jarvis's wife was introduced in person during the second season of Intermediary Carter, although she was menti
It’s a testament to how enjoyable this show is, that an episode that is essentially just people standing around talking about their feelings is still surprisingly entertaining. Not that I don’t enjoy a good old chat about feelings, especially when those feelings involve Steve Rogers. And to be straightforward I could probably survey a whole 22 episodes of Peggy Carter and Howard Stark butting heads and bantering. It’s just the thriller/action concept doesn’t generally lend itself to in depth emotional discussion, but Marvel’s Agent Carter does it so adequately that it works.
This week on Marvel’s Agent Carter, Howard Stark smuggled himself back into the Combined States under the guise of getting back his baddest baby. This leads to Howard staying with Peggy, which leads to a clash of personalities and ultimately a huge break up over the ideals that Steve Rogers embodied. Meanwhile Chief Doodle Dooley racked up some frequent flyer points with a trip to Germany leaving his blonde babe, I mean Agent Thompson, in charge of the troops back home. Also resident nice-guy Agent Sousa has a lot of issues with his disability, but he’s not the only one that was affected by the war but he might be the o
