The latter point is becoming an increasingly pressing issue for Stark as the palladium-based reactor implanted in his chest is releasing toxins at an increasing rate. Unbeknownst to Stark, he has a Russian nemesis, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), who is on the verge of duplicating the high tech power source that provides Iron Man with his energy and the mortal inside with his life. However the conceited mastermind, more intent on making jokes than concessions, quickly dismisses these requests and fears.īut in comic book land there is always an enemy. He also demands the company hands over the technology behind the flying suit.
Concerned about Stark’s escalating control, along with intelligence reports of other countries duplicating his high tech armor, the Senator insists Stark Industries quits privatizing word peace. “Is it a sword, or a shield?” asks Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) in a hearing to which Stark has been subpoenaed. However a competing arms manufacturer has convinced US Senator Stern (Garry Shandling) to see Iron Man in a different light. Proud, to the point of arrogance, that his invention has lead to a state of world peace, the self-made super hero struts his rocket propelled creation with rock star poise through publicity events, including his own Stark Expo. And that is the case for Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) after he admits to being the guy inside the Iron Man suit. When one boy has the biggest and best toy, it’s just a matter of time before someone tries to trump him.
