History
Vanko was a disgruntled Russian physicist. While searching for his father's blueprints, Vanko attacks Tony Stark, AKA, Iron Man, with two electrified whips during the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco. Stark defeats him with his new Iron Man suit, and Vanko was sent to prison.



Later, he escapes from prison to get revenge on Stark and in the employ of industrialist Justin Hammer, he creates an army of android suits called the Hammer Drones. After his army of Hammer Drones were defeated, Vanko (now wearing an upgraded Whiplash suit), Stark, and Stark's partner Jim Rhodes, AKA War Machine, come face to face in a final showdown. After Vanko was defeated when both Stark and Rhodes shoot him with their beams, he says "You lose." and activates self-destruct mechanisms in the Hammer Drones and on his own armor. Stark and Rhodes flies off and all the drones and Vanko's suit explodes, killing him.
