Maya something or other, she created the Extremis virus which gives Tony his new powers.
She first tested it on some militia nutter who promptly killed a lot of people, almost killed Ironman and then headed for DC to wipe out the Federal government.
She was then found out and put in jail.
Tony late broke her out of jail because he needed her help (so much for law and order right) and then he hid her during civil war until he got his new powers at which point he got her assigned to SHIELD as his biotech advisor.
At that point he shacked up with her (much to Miriam Sharpe's disapproval).
Recently Tony (and Maya's) old professor was killed by something the Mandarin has cooked up, Maya blames Tony for not proceeding with a roll-out of Extremis and agrees to the governments idea of creating Extremis soldiers for them.
She is then assigned to a biotech company working for the government which is being headed by...... you guessed it, the Mandarin in disguise.
Oh and...yeah that just confirms my fear that they actually ARE trying to make Tony "Morals? What's that?" Stark into a new supervillain. I guess they looked at the public outcry around the whole Hal Jordan-Parallax fiasco and figured they could do better.

The Marvel blokes in charge just don't see it that way, according to Millar Tony is the hero of civil war.
