Riri Williams is a 15-year-old engineering student who is the daughter of the late Riri Williams Sr. Following Riri Williams Sr.'s death, Riri lived with her mother and Riri Williams Sr.'s sister Sharon. She started attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on scholarship.[4] Working alone, Riri designs a suit of armor similar to the Iron Man armor using material stolen from campus. When campus security knocks at her door, she dons the suit and escapes.[5]

When Williams prevents two inmates from escaping the New Mexico State Penitentiary, her suit is damaged.[6]

Upon returning to her mother's house, Riri continued to work on improving the suit much to the dismay of her mother. Tony Stark heard of Riri's accomplishment and went to go meet her. During their meeting, Tony Stark states to Riri that he will endorse her decision to be a superhero.[4]
