Harley Keener is a character from the film Iron Man 3 (2013).

History[]

Background[]

Harley Keener was a young boy from Rose Hill, Tennessee who enjoyed trying to create potato-guns. In 2012, he happened upon Tony Stark who was in hiding from Advanced Idea Mechanics, leading to Harley keeping him in his garage to recover. Harley learned from Stark and after Stark returned to well-being, sent Harley equipment to hone in his skills.

Years later, Harley was enlisted by Stark's organization the Worldwide Engineering Brigade in the Avengers Campus of Orange, California. Here, Harley furthered developing his potato-guns and attended the Stark Expo in Hong Kong with fellow member, Doreen Green.[1] Inspired by the Iron Wing of the Stark Expo, Harley and Doreen developed the Web Slinger vehicles alongside fellow WEB members Lunella Lafayette, Onome and Peter Parker. His primary contribution was the automation system behind the vehicles.
