Celebrate the return of Tony Stark with cool Iron Man 2 tees

Iron Man returns to battle Whiplash.

The last time we saw Tony Stark (brilliantly played by Robert Downey Jr) he admitted to the world that he is Iron Man, and now instead of living a millionaire businessman’s lifestyle he gets to add superhero to his resume. And while most superheroes use masks, underground hideouts and alter-egos to keep their identity as secret as humanly (or not) possible, Tony is basking in the limelight. But this only makes him more visible to his enemies, and puts his life and Stark Industries in danger.

The second film in the Iron Man series sees Tony battling with a new villain; Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), aka Whiplash, is the son of a Russian scientist who wants revenge on Stark Industries. He also has to deal with the US Governments attempts at recreating the Iron Man suit with the assistance of Stark’s rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) and requests for his presence from director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). To deal with the pressure he appoints his smart yet sexy assistant, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), as CEO of Stark Industries.

While Pepper’s busy running his empire, Stark hires the gorgeous Natalie Rushman, aka Natalie Romanova aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). With the expected amount of action, ass kicking and smart quips from Stark, along with some added sex appeal from a black cat-suit clad Scarlett, Iron Man 2 is just as exciting as the first movie. And with a soundtrack from old-school rockers AC/DC it’s a contender for the coolest release of the summer.
