rourkex-large It maybe that I’m tired as all hell but am I the only one kinda unimpressed by this? Mickey loks like a Captain Jack Sparrow rip-off sporting some old Mark 1 tech. Meh, whatever. The fanboy in me is pretty sure this ain’t final armor he wears but still. It’s good to see that we’re getting these pics released early on to get our nerd juices flowing. Check out the full article over here at USA Today for more info!

btw i thought i was pretty well informed when it was to comics (*cough*fanboy!!) but who the hell is Whiplash?? why not use major villains?? besides the fact that iron man doesnt seem to have big name villains compared to other marvels superhero rogues gallery. i can probably name 10 villains for every major marvel hero/hero group except for iron man.

Iron Man’s main nemesis was the Mandarin, which I don’t think would work today as he was sort of a representation of communisum at the time the comic came out (in the 60′s).

As for Whiplash, I think they included him because Justin Hammer (who is a business rival of Tony Stark) when he was Blacklash. So that might be the angle they are working for. Course I could just be talking out of my ass and be wrong, so who knows.

All I know is that I want to see me some Scarlett as Black Widow and some War Machine tearing shit up.
