I don't like how they have to make the villain so similar to Ironman again... why not just have someone who has strengths based on something completely different? Can't be that difficult can it?

[Aptorian]

I'm still hating the whiplash as a main villain plot.

Lame bad guy to use in an Ironman film.

When Marvel Studios first announced the sequel, no one was sure what the movie would be about. Downey, director Jon Favreau, screenwriter Justin Theroux, and the rest of the creative team struck upon the idea of introducing two very different foes for Stark. On one side is Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), a fast-talking weapons manufacturer who fancies himself the next Tony Stark; on the other, Vanko, who, while incarcerated in a Russian prison, creates his own battle-suit, which shoots devastating, whip-like beams. Hammer and Whiplash join forces to take down Downey’s character, Tony Stark.

I think one of the funniest things about super villains in comic books is that if they could just look aside from their personal grudges they could make fortunes for themselves or just go be a criminal in another city than New York where there is a superhero on every streetcorner.

Silly super villains.

the worst of the lot in this regard for my money is Luthor..

It was particularly bad in a recent Marvel comic, where Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin (who is now in charge of a renamed SHIELD and possibly the most influential man in the world), created a biological weapon to kill Deadpool. How did it work? It cured cancer. They cured cancer and they're using the cure as a weapon.

And that's why Reed Richards is a dick. Besides, you know, slapping his wife repeatedly and not getting any shit for it whatsoever.

How do you create a battle suit while in a Russian prison? Where the hell does he get the electronics? Oh well. I guess Hammer is going to be the businessman who gives Whiplash a better super-suit after Whiplash loses his first fight. And Hammer will probably also hire Black Widow to assassinate Tony.

One of the cartoon Iron Man movies was on last night with Mandarin and his magic demons as the main enemy. Would've been a way better enemy then another bad guy with a supersuit...

TONY STARK MADE HIS SUIT IN A CAVE... WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

and? Those scraps were high-explosive ordinance with fuel, processor cores, guidance systems and lots of very high quality steel. A russian prison should have bricks, a toilet and some vodka for the guards. Hardly the same.

[Lisheo]

Perhaps the devestating whip like beams are constructed from the materials you listed.
Some kind of vodka catapult.
"Well, Iron Man, let's see how you fare against A STREAM OF VODKA".

Whiplash sucked, so I expect nothing much more

I AM THE ULTIMATE SUPER-VILLAIN! I just constantly drink my own weapon until I pass out and am carried off to prison.

Probably. It's squeezing my head pretty hard but there's no brain damageamageamageamagejeoivnporfnb3onrognb4otpnbl4;'l.

Well, if Hoosier's in this film, it won't be long before Rodoe is in it as well....starring as the evil villain Lager.

Dammit, this delicious "Thunderbolts/HAMMER/Dark Avengers/X-men/etc" stuff is even deliciouser then I thought it would be. I have intentionally been staying away from the new stuff so that I can better savour it later, but the bits I've read on sly here and there is so awesome.

I have never loved the characters of Osbourn and Bullseye/Evil Hawkeye than I have reading this stuff.

Osbourn has to be the greatest villain of the 00s. I love it every time Osbourn gets a report of some form of news and he keeps hearing people mentioning Spider-mans name. There's just so much insanity and evil lurking beneath that sleak shell of politician.

May I just add that Jeff Bridges was an AWESOME Obidiah Stane. For some reason, that voice of his is made for comic book villainy.

No argument there. I wish they had used the desert baddie in the final fight and let Obie hang around for this film. Really shouldn't have killed him off
