The ages of Howard and Tony Stark just don’t work

I looked it up, because I’m a nerd. Tony was born in the 1970s and Howard was born in 1917. This would make Howard roughly 53 when Tony was born. Since Maria doesn’t have a birthday, we have to assume that she’s in her 50s as well.

But biologically, it’s nearly impossible for a 40-50 year old woman to create a child. Her body just can’t handle it.

So, with science, apparently Tony Stark isn’t biologically a Stark.

Unless he was a test tube baby.

“Since Maria doesn’t have a birthday, we have to assume that she’s in her 50s as well.“

Why?

Maybe Maria was younger than Howard.

“But biologically, it’s nearly impossible for a 40-50 year old woman to create a child.“

Nearly impossible, but NOT impossible.

But Tony was adopted anyway so it doesn’t matter

He’s
adopted

in comics. I’ve never heard anything about that in MCU.

Wait. He was adopted in the comics?

Yeah he’s adopted in the comics – but that’s a relatively new development.

Okay, I know very little about the capabilities of even my own body, but I’m pretty sure a woman getting pregnant after 40 isn’t impossible, or even nearly impossible. Unlikely, but….
