I would have thought it would be another couple of months, at least, until we saw this. But here it is! Looks pretty sweet to me. Can't wait till May 2010.

CBM Comment: Looks like Whippy has got his hands on one of Stark's power cells! Here's a bit of the USA Today Article...

In Iron Man 2, the scarlet and golden-metaled hero must face an adversary with some amazing gadgets of his own.

Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one that Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) uses.

"The technologies are definitely related," says director Jon Favreau. "That's part of the core theme of the film."

The villain's alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who "has constructed his own version of a suit," Favreau says. Among the creative innovations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest piece, that are expected to keep Iron Man cracking.

not bad for a early edition that I'm sure will be upgraded by the end of the movie

Holy crap this looks like crap, also looks like he can barley reach the whips in that pic. I guess to say it looks like crap is a low blow, it does look like a new real version of the suit, and they cant help that the comic book version looked gay.

Looks..ok! A bit strange with that background. Its monaco apparently, there are some other pics online of a huge racing set they built for the movie.

Most likely a early prototype. Looks cool. He looks badass with the tattoos and the guy is in shape. I bet he kicks Iron Man's ass in their first encounter.

Besides that, am I the only person that when looking at that picture of Mickey, all gritty and sweaty, thought that probably he stinks to high heaven of man-sweat?

The first Iron Man failed? What the hell are you talking about?

Fearless? Doubtful.

Senseless? Absolutely.
Priest
Priest - 6/9/2009, 7:35 PM
Fearless, I think you have a most capricious taste that seems to be prohibitive to delight. The Iron Man movie was an excellent film. The vox populi of this forum seem to be in accord respecting the movie's good quality.

Priest--He looks like shit warmed over. Like he would smell like litter box and vegetable beef stew.

Iron man a failure? Are you on acid?

I thin he looks ok staying true to the comic and all, but they might have want to upgrade it to the version of whiplash in the animated series, he looked badass red and black

But still I don't mind this :D
BillyBlack
BillyBlack - 6/9/2009, 7:51 PM

It was the "litter box stew" *_*

I think I cracked a rib on that one.

Priest

You're an unexpected delight. Now make haste with that axe my good man.

I take it the gimp mask is in his back pocket? lol jk ;)

This is obviously an early pic from when WHIPLASH first obtains his technology. The Armor will come later. (I hope.)

I'm not judging; it's too early for that.

But to see RDJ and ROURKE butt-heads as hero and villian alone, is gonna be somethin' else! :)

I will make a movie of Priest as well. Then I will have his soul!

Looks like someone got their hands on some Stark Teeeeeech! lol
realblood33
realblood33 - 6/9/2009, 8:03 PM
hes got that same arc thing on his chest,as tony stark, the bad guy in the first movie wanted the same thing, cant any ironman bad guys have super powers of their own?
adamant877
adamant877 - 6/9/2009, 8:03 PM
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! The Feige is loose again!
Betty
Betty - 6/9/2009, 8:03 PM
Let me guess. Whiplash comes up with this tech by himself who then teams up with Hammer who is trying to compete with tony. Hammer gets Black Widow to use her sweet ass to infiltrate and then steal Tony's Iron Man plans (haha) completing whiplashes exoskeleton and becoming crimson dynamo like someone else said up there.
Priest
Priest - 6/9/2009, 8:06 PM
Soul? Betty, what is this "soul" thing you speak of?

BillyBlack, I am grateful for the accolade. I aim to comment and entertain.

By the way, methinks that Kevin Feige was a shark or some other horrendous predator in a past life...he haves a most frightening countenance in that picture.

Looks sweet and gritty. Rourke looks off his head.

I know right? You can see his back teeth in that pic. I bet his eyes roll back in his head when he feeds.

Hey, why did my comment get deleted? No disrespect to CBM but there is a higher res pic over at Screenrant.com

@Betty. Fiege scares the ***** out of me

Ah! Don't look at me Feige. Stop looking I KEEL You!

Someone get the cattle prod and the big net! AH he's after me. No he's rippingmy soul out THROUGH MY EYE SOCKETS!

the suit gettup itself looks to be ok, but i really like how rourke himself looks. Really convincing that he is a russian inmate. the tats are sweet and he looks gritty and nasty--cool
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/9/2009, 8:45 PM
The Feige should take over as the new Hollywood Boogeyman.

I see some gold teeth.

grif, it is effortlessly discernible that the suit Mickey is sporting is merely a prototype ensemble. Most likely, as the film progresses, he will don a more exhilarating attire.
