oh lord not Braga… well, that’s a guarentee I won’t be reading that comic, I mean sure, there’s the possibility that Braga has improved since his horrid run on Star Trek, but… yeesh…

from what I can see from that pic doesn’t look like he has improved at all and is still continuitily retarded.

Braga should be banned from anything sci-fi since he never has any idea what the hell is writing about and can’t keep a story coherent to save his life, that’s why he’s so good at writing stories that are based on psychological stuff and characters going crazy, since any inconsistency can be thought of as just a character delusion (indeed that’s how he got to write trek episodes like Facets, where Riker is going “nuts”.)

anyhow, the armour looks pretty awesome, good idea to go with a more slender foe for Iron man, let him use 100% of his suit’s performance and such, since they had to handicap him to make the Fight vs Iron Monger even.

hoping the suit will cover more of rourke, but I like the techno Vega from Street fighter mask look, and hope the hair still flows cause that does look cool.

Since there is NO WAY that the Movie version of Tony Stark could have battled Anton Vanko,
The only way such a battle would fit in the film is Howard Stark was the first Iron Man.
So I assume this prequel only fits in The Marvel Comics continuity and not in The movie universe.

Girrafehead,
Yes, it does appear to be n a similar power supply to Iron Mans.

It does look like Vega…

Pardon my Iron Man comic ignorance, but why is Whiplashes power supply also on his chest? Or is that not a power supply like Iron Man’s?

(I totally understand if it’s just the art of the comics, but was just wondering if it made any logical sense.)

I don’t particularly care for the design. All I see when i look at is Vega with whips.

I believe that the whips will look very similar but betting the armor will be cover his whole body because of the weak point of having bare skin agianst. Maybe the armor creates a force field or the whips could have artifical intellegents.

@Vic

Thanks for the background on the likely suit development.
I am more encouraged having your impression
of what we will likely see on screen.

I can take Rourke’s suit in the pic
as a crude initial effort — there
it makes sense in context.

@Robert Palmer

What Rourke is wearing in the pic above looks like the equivalent of the the Mark I armor in Afghanistan – a crude initial effort to be replaced by a more advanced model (no doubt financed by Hammer).

@Luke and Leia’s

Oh really? Nice catch – that’s a subtle distinction that I missed (dang it!).

It looks decent but it wouldn’t make sense if his whole body was not covered. IM would just tear him apart.

@Vic

Let’s hope we see that suit in the movie, Bud.
I can do better than the one Rourke is sporting
in that pic with junk laying around the basement.

Even though it says in-continuity, are we sure the comic is going to in-movie-continuity? In the pic Whiplash has green hair and the Iron Man suit is not the Mark 3 or 4, so I think it couldn’t be a prequel to IM2.

They might be creating a new Whiplash for the 616 universe in time for the film to hit. Anton Vanko was the original Crimson Dynamo in the comics, maybe he’s back and is the new Whiplash.

Rouke plays Anton’s son, Ivan in the film.

I cannot WAIT to see that in action, I adore that suit!

I have a feeling that we’ll see that suit in the movie, yes.

Is he gonna wear that suit in the movie, or is that just his current comic suit?
Cause I LOVE IT!
