You're right - A-ko's parents are Superman and Wonder Woman
Superman: being that her mother is taking care of his suit in the first
movie.
Wonder Woman: that's where A-ko's arm bands are from.

As for B-ko's father, yes, he bears resemblance to Tony Stark for 2
reasons. The first is for the power armour that B-ko uses (and so does her
father in the second film) suggesting Iron Man. The second reason is
somwhat more obscure in that it is symbolic of the Marvel/DC competition in
North America.

It's in the FAQ - sorry I don't have the particular URL anymore...

isn't Eiko's (or A-Ko's) dad Superman? I saw in the first movie, her

I thought A-ko's father was Superman, her mother was Wonder Woman, and
B-ko's
father was Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.  Did I read that somewhere or was it
a
hallucination? The voices, man, the voices...
