First Pic Of IM2 Villain Released
Marvel has released the first picture of Mickey Rourke as the villain in Iron Man 2 today. The picture and two images of his comic counterpart under the cut.

And while he goes by Whiplash he seems to have more in common with Crimson Dynamo (Russian scientist named Vanko):

Compare to his comic counterparts:

	Isn't this how Mickey looks normally? ;) He's even got a necklace which I'm sure has a pic of his dead dog on it.... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	When I first saw the pic I thought, "dude this is Mickey on a normal day. With BDSM gear and an arc reactor on" LOL I much prefer the Mister Slave look of Whiplash to the hooded mook in the Elektra panel. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	...Is that supposed to be a counterpart to Tony's electromagnetic pacemaker? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, that's clearly an arc reactor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sigh. All the possible villains out there and they pick THIS? What, they couldn't go with the ACTUAL Crimson Dynamo as a leadup to the Mandarin for #3? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They did "armor vs. armor" in the first movie. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Chances are the guy is just out of prison here and will update his "suit" later. The thing being that the russian connection is still heavily there as... wait for it... Scarlett Johanson is playing Black Widow. So I figure the plot will go further than "Tony Starks Russian BDSM bender". (Reply to this) (Parent)

	unknownscribler 2009-06-11 08:00 am UTC (link)
	Or the version of Whiplash from Armored Adventures (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Black Widow (Scarlet Johanson) and Justin Hammer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who will be played by Sam Rockwell, as a, ironically, younger counterpart to Tony. Despite being only four years younger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, that's more like it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
