What If Season 2’s Justin Hammer Teases What Armor Wars Needs To Be

Iron Man 2debuted Tony Stark ’s longstanding business competition and weapons industrialist , Justin Hammer , who was impeccably portrayed by Sam Rockwell . While his character was a highlighting of the movie , Hammer was played for laughs as a hapless hack unequal to of producing working equipment before his ill-conceived and dangerous attempt to commandeer Stark ’s tech set down him in Seagate Penitentiary . InWhat If … ?season 2 , episode 3 , however , he reemerges as a changed piece after spending his sentence in Seagate honing skills to one - up his arch - rival .

While Justin Hammer inWhat If … ?maintains his humorous persona , he is able to hack into Stark ’s remote surety suits of armour swiftly and even go toe - to - toe with the Hulk origin - empowered Happy Hogan . SinceArmor Warswill probably focalise on Tony Stark ’s technical school being misappropriated in like way , this could be some pregnant foreshadowing for what ’s to comegiven that Stark will be absent as he was in theWhat If … ? episode . What ’s more , it should be Justin Hammer , specifically , who returns asArmor war ' chief scoundrel .

Why Justin Hammer Is The Perfect Villain For Armor Wars

Justin Hammer was a much larger scourge to Tony Stark in the comics than he was inIron humanity 2.For deterrent example , in the comics Hammer was capable to cut up into Stark ’s armor while he fall apart it - something that Whiplash achieved with War Machine inIron Man 2 . A more clued - up Hammer inWhat If … ? , meanwhile , was able to do just that - setting up the main timeline ’s Hammer to be up to of such exploit . Not only is Justin Hammer overdue the more villainous depiction he merit , but his being rooted in Tony Stark ’s yesteryear is precisely why he should re-emerge as theArmor Warsmain scoundrel .

As Rhodey navigates the legacy that Stark left behind , Hammer is the complete scoundrel to facilitate represent Tony ’s past tense without resort to flashback . By starring two of the main characters in Iron Man ’s MCU story , Armor Warswill tribute Iron Man while telling a Modern story , hopefully with a more baleful Hammer in the end capable of taking control of Stark ’s technical school . Riri Williams ' role inArmor Wars , meanwhile , would be to take up the mantle as she continues to introduce rather than misappropriate .
