• Though Cipher was the main villain of the film, Rhodes did most of the action and was far more dangerous than Cipher.
• Rhodes is similar to Dean Baker from Kingsman: The Secret Service as both Rhodes and Dean are cruel and violent men. Unlike Rhodes, who is skilled in firearms, Dean is skilled in using his hands and fists. Also, Dean is foul-mouthed while Rhodes is not.
