Origins:
 
When the Martians invaded Earth, Tony Stark, not wanting his technology to fall into their hands, loaded it onto a rocket that he sent into space. The rocket eventually crashed into the planet of a fairly primitive race. Exploring the new technology that had been delivered to them, they eventually learned to understand it. Their technological level advanced faster than their social sophistication, and they named their race after their benefactor.
Stark society developed as a strict matriarchy. The females had absolute authority, and the males obeyed them completely. Building huge factories to provide them with armour based on their benefactor, they soon polluted their planet’s atmosphere, using up its natural resources. The Starks then turned their sights to other worlds whose resources they could exploit.
In the 31st Century, one of the Stark’s leading cyborg scouts was Taserface. After coming into conflict with the Guardians of the Galaxy and being defeated, Taserface was extremely ashamed; however he was offered a chance to redeem himself, by undergoing further augmentation. In this new form he was renamed Overkill.
