Iron Man 2
First Look at Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2 Suggests Failed Fusion Of Kawasaki And Human
This is the first image of Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, aka Whiplash, from Iron Man 2 — a definite upgrade on the last released image from that production, featuring Robert Downey Jr. staring at some plexiglass. According to USA Today, the suit contains a pair of supersonic whips powered by a glowing chest device similar to the one that powers Tony Stark’s flying suit.
Obviously, we’re seeing a primitive prototype of the supervillain’s eventual armor, a piece of state-of-the-art weaponry the Russian will eventually use on his own people, turning on his government after they cruelly enlist his wiper-blade arms to give the windows of the International Space Station a no-streak clean.

Just like the promotion shots of the first movie they would show the first incarnation of a suit before showing us the final rendition.
I, for one, am excited.

It's acrylic, not plexiglass. Plexiglass ia a brand.

Ultimate Whiplash is male.
I think this is going to end up some sort of Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo hybrid character.
