Iron Man's New Villain — an Open Source Terrorist

Posted by kdawson on Monday April 14, 2008 @05:37PM from the engineers-make-good-terrorists dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a recent interview on Comic Book Resources about his new continuation of the Marvel comic-book series 'Invincible Iron Man,' Matt Faction provides information about the the new series (debut will be May 7). The villain is Ezekiel Stane, son of Obadiah Stane (the villain of the new Iron Man movie opening on May 2). Whereas Obadiah was a ruthless billionaire who fought as the Iron Monger, Zeke 'rejects the strategies of his father as being the crude tactics of Attila the Hun.' Instead, he will be 'a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist.' As the author puts it, 'Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop.' The concept has gone over well on the CBR forums."

What a pissy little word that is!

"Ooooh, you don't like me, it's MUST be because you're an islamophobe!".

No, it's just that you're an arsehole.
