Possible Whiplash Armor in ‘Iron Man 2′?

A few months back we gave you the first image of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash and now we give you a bit more from a comic book.
Apparently there’s a new limited series comic book coming out this November that gives us a little insight into Ivan Vanko, AKA Whiplash. The four issue series is called Iron Man vs. Whiplash and supposedly has a few elements from the film. The 2nd image is the cover art for the first issue.
From Marvel:
“Before he flays the metal off of Tony Stark’s hide in ‘Iron Man 2,’ this is every True Believer’s chance to crawl inside the twisted head of the wicked Whiplash,” boasts Editor Bill Rosemann. “If it’s jet-setting, globe-trotting, eye-popping action you crave, IRON MAN VS. WHIPLASH will make you believe that Tony Stark is indeed a cool exec with a heart of steel…and Whiplash is the fiend that will break it!”
At the top of this article you will find a side by side comparison of the art from the comic book and the first image of Whiplash. Be sure to click the image to enlarge.
Some sites think that we might be getting a small preview as to what Whiplash will look like later on in Iron Man 2. The real questions are, what do you guys think of the comic book art and would you like it if that’s what Whiplash eventually looks like in the film? Tell us what you think in the comments section.

I would love to see Whiplash’s armor evolve through the movie into something like the comic art. To me, it makes the character more interesting if his suit is a consistent work in progress.

I liked the first image we got of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash but it looks as though that “suit” is a work in progress.
I think it’s cool that we’ll probably get to see him tweak his suit a bit and make a better version like Tony does with his.
