2. Ezekiel Stane
Zeke is the son of Obadiah Stane, the Iron Monger from the first film. He has been building bioweaponry and manufacturing next-generation weapons for terrorists and supervillains since he was nine. Zeke share similarities with Tony Stark, but he is younger, more intelligent and much more ruthless. He is described as a kind of sociopathic futurist, an opportunistic super-villain who exploits the modern corporate run, greed-driven society to further his own ends. Ezekiel seeks revenge against Tony Stark for his father's death. Let's be honest that has Hollywood written all over it. Ezekiel Stane is everything Tony fears in an opponent. He's unimaginably brilliant, able to build advanced weaponry out of scrap metal and salvaged Iron Man parts. His ultimate downfall is the fact Stane is imitative rather than innovative, as all his inventions are merely re-purposed Stark tech rather than anything he developed completely on his own.
