9. There's Some Clever Foreshadowing

Marvel Studios

With the benefit of hindsight, Obadiah Stane basically gives away the fact that he's the villain early on: first when answering a question at a press conference, he says "I'm not Tony Stark, but if I was Tony Stark..." and later when discussing Stark Enterprise's work in arms dealing, he says "we are iron mongers."

In two quotes, he basically reveals both his intent to replace Stark and his alterego. Pretty clever.

PS: Stane knew exactly how much of a super-villain he was. He literally built a voice changer into his Iron Monger suit that lowered his voice and made him sound a bit like Batman.

Also, watching Jeff Bridges on a Segway is the best thing ever.

Nobody has EVER looked that cool on one of those dork-mobiles.
