Harold "Happy" Hogan is an ex-boxer who once saved Tony Stark from a burning racecar. Happy refused a reward for saving Tony's life, and this convinced Tony to hire him as a chauffeur. Happy fell in love with Stark's secretary Pepper Potts. At first her eyes were on Tony, but she eventually reciprocated Happy's feelings and they got married. In the Civil War event, Happy Hogan died.
Marvel Cinematic Universe[]
A former boxer, Happy Hogan was employed by Tony Stark as a personal chauffeur and bodyguard and assisted him in taking down Ivan Vanko. He was almost killed during Aldrich Killian's war, which motivated Stark to seek out the Mandarin, who he believed was behind Hogan's injuries. After his recovery, Hogan continued to serve as Stark's friend and employee, even being promoted to Head of Security of Stark Industries.
Hogan oversaw Stark's mentorship over Peter Parker as Spider-Man, aiding the young hero on his trip to Germany and acting as their liaison when Parker continued his superhero activities. Initially irritated by the boy and avoiding him, Hogan grew to respect Parker when he delivered Vulture to justice, as he targeted a cargo plane under Hogan's direct supervision that was carrying equipment for the Avengers Compound.
In 2023, Hogan was present at Stark's funeral, following his sacrifice during the Battle of Earth. The following year, he helped Spider-Man deal with Mysterio and the Elementals in Europe. When Parker became victim to public hostility after he was framed for murdering Mysterio, Hogan allowed him and May to use his condo. Hogan also hired Matt Murdock to defend him after he was investigated by Damage Control due to the Stark Industries drones used during the Battle of London. Later, Hogan was ridden with grief by May's murder and had his memories of Parker erased by Doctor Strange.
