Iron Man 4: 5 Awesome Potential Villain Ideas

5. Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane

zekestane Having defeated the traitorous Obadiah Stane in his Iron Monger suit in the first Iron Man movie, one idea Marvel could utilise with Iron Man 4 is the revenge angle. In the comic books, Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane is Obadiah's son. He has been building bio-weaponry and manufacturing next-generation weapons for terrorists and supervillains since he was only nine years old. Utilising his skills, he creates a suit that is actually physically attached to his anatomy. In this sense, he is a sort of cross between Iron Man and the Aldrich Killian character we saw in Iron Man 3 - he is armoured, but by virtue of an actual biological upgrade. What a surprise it would be for the cocky Tony Stark - a man who has saved the world from an alien threat - to find himself tackling a young upstart whose technology is superior to the equipment he has relied upon for so long. The fact that Zeke would have a revenge motive would only add to the story and I think he would make a great on-screen villain for Iron Man - played by Robert Downey Jr. or otherwise.
