10 Hilariously Unthreatening Movie Villains

10. Justin Hammer - Iron Man 2

Tony Stark has come a long way since the early days of the MCU. And we don't just mean that he died. Initially facing off with mad scientists, spurned colleagues and billionaires, after joining the Avengers, Iron Man would go on to fight aliens, gods, megalomaniac AI and, finally, Thanos.

But first: Justin Hammer. This rival entrepreneur is the co-antagonist of Iron Man 2, fighting alongside Mickey Rourke's Whiplash to take down Iron Man and produce his own rival suit of armor. Needless to say: it doesn't go well.

This is no Thanos, Ultron or Mandarin-level threat: he's not even an Obidiah Stane. The only thing Justin Hammer has going for him is a brilliant performance from Sam Rockwell - rocking some classy specs and a nifty collection of waistcoats. He doesn't even get his own suit of armor. Thankfully, the film has a real physical threat in Whiplash, meaning that there's no real need to take Hammer all that seriously anyhow.
