Senator Stern
Senator Stern first appeared in Iron Man 2 and has since appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Played by Garry Shandling, he is a United States senator who wanted Tony Stark to hand over his Iron Man technology to the United States government, deeming it dangerous.
Really though, Stern simply had a personal gripe against Stark and that came across through his smarmy and irritating personality.
He was later revealed to be a member of HYDRA – which really didn’t surprise anyone – and, after a meeting with fellow member Agent Jasper Sitwell, he creepily discussed his sexual relationship with a 23-year-old woman before whispering “Hail HYDRA” into Sitwell’s ear.
When his role in HYDRA was revealed publicly, he was taken into custody, but he’s still very much alive and likely to appear again – and we can probably do without his lecherous and off-putting characteristics.
What do you think? Do you think it would be better if these characters disappeared? Will they actually appear again? Have your say below.
