From Iron Man to Iron Man 3 - Top 5 Iron Man Enemies in Iron Man Trilogy

As one of the most favored superhero movie series, Iron Man movies (including Iron Man and Iron Man 2) had gained tremendous success in the movie market. Even though the production of Iron Man 3 is still on the way, it is almost a certain thing that Iron Man 3 will be another market winner after its newly released Iron Man 3 trail has attracted unprecedented attention around the world. Moreover, according to the trail, elements like Iron Man 3 suit, Iron Man 3 weapon and Iron Man 3 enemy all gain great possibility to help Iron Man 3 to become an impressive blockbuster movie.

If Iron Man 3 has really become a market hit, there is at least one common element leading to the success of Iron Man trilogy named Iron Man enemy. Without powerful Iron Man enemy, the superhero fails to show off his power and charm. Therefore, with the presence of the most powerful Iron Man enemy in the trail, Iron Man 3 is likely to become the last Iron Man movie. If so, Iron Man movies will become the latest successful movie trilogy. To this extent, this post will show you top five Iron Man enemies in Iron Man trilogy which starts from Iron Man and ends with Iron Man 3.

1. The Mandarin

When the Oscar winner Ben Kingsley is shown in the trail, people know he is coming for one character, The Mandarin, who is the most powerful Iron Man enemy in comics and movies. The Mandarin is a Chinese nobleman who is famous for his superhuman mastery of the martial arts. In the movie, The Mandarin has ten rings which represent ten powers he has gained from an alien spaceship. In the comics, Iron Man barely wins over The Mandarin with all the helps he can get, so does he in Iron Man 3.

Moreover, people believe Iron Man movies will be a trilogy one because The Mandarin is the best Iron Man enemy the movies can get. It is just the same reason to put Catwoman and Bane in last member of Batman movies, The Dark Knight Rises. The best enemies are always reserved for the last movie. After all, it is not a good way to make a sequel with a weaker enemy in it.

2. Blacklash

As the hero in Iron Man 2, Blacklash has almost killed Stark in the car racing field. Also known as Ivan Vanko, Blacklash takes advantages of an electrified whip capable of rending apart even the strongest of metals after equipped with a chest plate similar to that of Iron Man’s. In most of the time, his cooperation with Justin Hammer had left Iron Man in desperate situations. Moreover, as a crazy Iron Man enemy, Blacklush just wants to seek revenge from Iron Man. In the comics, he hates Iron Man because his family is killed by someone disguised as Iron Man. In Iron Man 2, he just wants to destroy Iron Man.  

3. Obadiah Stane

In Iron Man, Obadiah Stane has brought quite a lot of troubles to the superhero. As a minor character in the comics, Stane becomes the final evil boss in Iron Man. As a colleague as well as friend of Stark, Stane takes full advantage of his hypocrisy. In the name of helping Stark, he has developed advanced weapons exclusively designed for Iron Man. In the end, he not only robs Iron Man suits but also pushes Stark to the edge of death. Moreover, his last fight against Iron Man has also exhausted Iron Man.

4. Justin Hammer

As the most famous weapon maker only inferior to Stark, Justin Hammer turns out to be Iron Man enemy for his envy and greed. In order to compete with Stark, he is even willing to hire Blacklush to become his weapon design. When he gets Iron Man suit, he decides to put it into mass production. His wish is to make Iron Man an antique and he has done that to some extent. In the end of Iron Man 2, those weapons he has made had brought great troubles to Iron Man.

5. Wong-Chu

In the comics, Wong-Chu is the man who has planned the kidnap of Stark. Here in Iron Man, the name represents those terrorists who have kidnapped Stark. Without those Iron Man enemies, Stark can’t be invent Iron Man suit and become a superhero. Though those men are weak Iron Man enemies who are eliminated by Stark wearing rough Iron Man suit, they have posed the most profound influence on Stark. To some extent, they have changed the life of Stark and given birth to Iron Man.

3 Factors That Help The Avengers To Beat Harry Potter

One of the biggest events in the film industry at present is the great success of The Avengers. Since its debut in May 5th, it has received over 200 million dollars in box office and has created a new record, making its former keeper Harry Potter's 168 million dollars a gone history.

Two million dollars in box office are the final achievements of some films like Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which is named another version of Harry Potter. However, The Avengers has managed it in two days and hence becomes the biggest menace to Avatar, the film with the highest box office recipients.

Every movie of Harry Potter series is a guarantee to the box office performance and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as the last movie in this series has received unprecedented attention. How come The Avengers can beat it so easily? Here the post will show you factors that help The Avengers to beat Harry Potter.

1. The plot

As a superhero movie, the plot of The Avengers is known to all: bad guys appear and superheroes manage to beat them. To this extent, Harry Potter should have beaten The Avengers easily in terms of the plot because you cannot trace the plot of a new Harry Potter movie that easily.

However, Rotten Tomatoes has given them almost the same fresh rate which means that The Avengers is also excellent in plot. More importantly, Harry Potter movies are directed based on the novel so you can get to know the plot before the movie. To me, I had already known the fate of Harry before I watched that movie. This makes Harry Potter less attractive than The Avengers in plot.

2. The influence

One must admit that the influence of Harry Potter is beyond comparison among youth. However, the failure of Harry Potter has proved to us that a magician is not powerful enough to beat five superheroes.

Superhero movie is always popular in America. Movies like Spiderman, Superman and Iron Man can always guarantee box office performance. Harry can beat any single of them, but once they have united, Harry has to accept his failure. More importantly, those heroes can not only attract youth but also those middle-age people who were fond of those superheroes in their childhood.

3. The arrangement

In terms of arrangement, Harry Potter has successfully kept audience in suspense by dividing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two parts. It worked and lead to the great success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. However, The Avengers has done better in this field.

So let's have general view at those superheroes in the movie: Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Hawkeye. If you have no idea about any of them, you can know them via four movies. Among those heroes, movies on Thor and Captain America were made in 2011.

This can be viewed as steps to pave the way for The Avengers. More importantly, you can trace the association between The Avengers and those two movies. Captain America wakes up in the end because he needs to cooperate with other heroes in The Avengers. Loki as an evil image in Thor successfully joins in the evil side of The Avengers. We are all looking forward to the cooperation between those superheroes.

Due to those three factors, The Avengers has successfully broken the record made by Harry Potter. If you want to make a good comparison between those two movies, you may watch The Avengers in the cinema and convert the DVD of Harry Potter to mp4 files for The new iPad with DVD Ripper.
