When that fails and Ivan’s imprisoned, Tony’s slimy unscrupulous rival contractor, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), engineers his prison break and gets him to work on building a better Iron Man so he can get Tony’s government contract and become the ‘big man in the world.’ Instead Ivan builds an entire droid army to crush both Tony’s Iron Man and the secret War Machine army under the charge of Tony’s military friend Lt.
