Is this a cheat? YES! But in the comics, James Rhodes is War Machine and he's previously piloted a personalized Sentinel armor... so this still sorta works! Whatever. War Machine Month gets streaky in the next Hyper Combo Wallpaper!

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.

Behold War Machine's tiny yet threatening fist!

Be back here next Monday for a Cyclops vs. Storm Hyper Combo Wallpaper as Versus Month continues!
9. The Technovore. I'll start off my list with the biggest long shot - a misunderstood antagonist that consists of repurposed tech scraps. Put simply, this character is a technological parasite that consumes the technology it touches. To make it even better, Tony Stark should battle the Technovore in space just like the original comics confrontation.
8. Jim Rhodes wears the Iron Man armor. To me, this is a staple of the Iron Man legacy. When Stark just can't continue on, his best friend is there to carry on the fight. While I prefer Rhodey in the War Machine armor, there's something special about the way he puts on the red and golds to help his best bud when he's down.
7. Tony Stark gets an artificial nervous system. In the first Iron Man movie, repulsor technology was brilliantly re-imagined as a life-support system mixed with a massive energy source (in compact form, to boot). Another concept from the Iron Man comics that could use this touch is the artificial central nervous system Tony Stark implements in his own body following his faked death. It's especially fascinating to watch Tony code his own nervous system like he's writing software code.
6. The Hulkbuster armor. C'mon, you know you wanna see it too. This will probably have to wait for the Avengers movie, if that!
5. Tony Stark succumbs to alcoholism. Again, maybe this is best in a a sequel or another film. Like, if we see hints of it in Iron Man 2, even more hints in Avengers, and then Iron Man 3 showcases Tony's struggle - that might maximize the emotional impact. Still, I feel this plot should start in earnest with Iron Man 2.
4. The Blacklash costume. This costume is a classic supervillain faux pas, featuring a neon green ponytail in the cowl and hot pink / fuchsia in the body. It's so insane that I would love to see Iron Man 2 attempt it. BRING ON THE CHEESE! Alas, it appears that Whiplash will never progress into his insane Blacklash threads, however, because he's a hybrid of Whiplash AND Crimson Dynamo in Iron Man 2.
3. Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan hook up. Tony Stark is a man who can have just about any woman in the world... so what happens when the one woman he genuinely cares for decides she'd rather be with his driver / (non-armored) bodyguard? This is classic drama!
2. The Telepresence armor. Tony Stark is incapacitated, but that doesn't stop him from being Iron Man. Using technology that allows him to virtually pilot a suit of Iron Man armor, Tony remotely controls his infamous red and golds. There is still a risk, of course, because neural feedback from damage to the unmanned Neuromimetic Telepresence Unit can still manifest physically on Tony's end...
1. The War Machine armor. Luckily, I already know that my top choice is going to be in Iron Man 2. However, I am dismayed that the Comic-Con Int'l footage featured Rhodey getting his gear from Justin Hammer. Hopefully this is well weaved into the plot, because I think it's essential that Rhodey dons the suit to fight for right!!!

The gang is back! That just means we don't have an interview lined up... but like we said, the gang is back! Movies like Parasite Dolls and The Hurt Locker get things rolling. TV shows like So You Think You Can Dance, Surface, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men keep it moving. A bunch of nonsense leads into a description of the Iron Man 2 footage from Comic-Con International. Neal teaches people Audacity, while Nick spreads rumors about the quality of District 9. Justique flips out on the quality of Crash and Paul Mooney polarizes the gang. Neal likes how Slacker Personal Radio plays Eddie Griffin stand-up, but Neal falls flat with the gay fish joke and proceeds to talk about New Era Street Fighter hadoken hats, sending Nick on an extended Google search to find the spelling for shoryuken. Excellence!
