I disagree, i think it was just what he said as he took the car over the suit. imo he does’nt fit the character.

besides war machine’s suit is way different than iron man’s. and that’s the suit he looked at and said next time.

Terrence Howard’s character’s name is Jim Rhodes [Iron Man (2008) - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/)[http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0033332/](http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0033332/)

Operator of “War Machine” is James Rupert Rhodes

> **[War Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_machine)**
>
> War Machine is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by David Michelinie, John Byrne, and Bob Layton as a supporting character for Iron Man, he first appeared in Iron Man #118 (1979) and became a superhero with the Iron Man armor in issue #169 (1983). War Machine has since been established as an independent superhero and appeared in multiple standalone series in addition to his appearances in Iron Man comics. 
> War Machine is the title adopted by Jame...

Coincidence? Highly doubtful

I think I saw the wrong movie you guys saw… this is the movie I saw and got a 5 star rating:

![http://www.qwipster.net/steel.jpg](http://www.qwipster.net/steel.jpg)

![http://s3assets.nextnewnetworks.com/2069.jpg](http://s3assets.nextnewnetworks.com/2069.jpg)

\<3 Shaq & Steel.

But for real Iron Man was awesome.

wow, i was really suprized to see that they forshadowed the war machine suit so early. The only main difference between war machine and iron man (beside cosmetic things) is how the suites are powered iron mans power comes from tonys chest implant and war machine has to recharge his suit after using it. Second can i ask why they picked SLJ to play Nick fury…nick fury is a white man, SLJ is def. not a white man! thats like saying spiderman could have been played by Mogan Freeman!  
“Theres Snakes ON THE PLANE!!!”"

And holly crap, that steel picture brought back some horrible memories, when I actually had hopes for that movie thinking it would be along the comic book, and they would stay to him potraying Steel!.. however they failed… they failed terribly … was that movie even done by marvel!

Samuel L. Jackson’s coolness transends race all together.

This is hit or miss.

Granted there aren’t a lot of black guys running around Marvel… Kingpin and Col Nick Fury are white.

I think he will rock that role (as Downey did with Stark) but Fury is black in the Ultimate Universe… not the 616 Universe this story is taking place.

Does it matter? No.  
Is it wrong? Yes.
