Character: Justin Hammer Fandom: Iron Man 2 Character Notes: History: Justin Hammer is the 36 year old CEO of Hammer Industries, and the DOD's current primary weapons contractor, a position he took on after Stark and Stark Industries stopped producing weapons after Tony Stark's return from Afghanistan.
Born and raised in Queens, New York, he had a relatively normal childhood and teenage years with nothing of great impact happening. After high school he went on to college, attending Dartmouth and getting his MBA at Tuck. After that he started working on his life’s dream, that being Hammer Industries.
Hammer Industries has been Justin Hammer's life's work, as it can easily be called, because unlike Stark he has built the company from the ground up. This also plays a role in the jealousy (to be later mentioned) he feels towards Stark, since he feels as though Tony was handed everything wrapped up in a pretty box with a bow. He is, however, far more of a businessman than he is an engineer, and therefore he relies on hiring the best engineers he can to do the dirty work. Naturally everything gets overseen by him, and approved or rejected, but as it is things in theory don’t often work out the same way in practise.
That statement includes the work that Justin has been doing with trying to recreate the technology that Tony Stark has utilized with the Iron Man suit, because the aforementioned refuses to give up the technology. The government feels as though Stark should be handing it over because it could potentially be harmful, especially if another country got a hold of the technology and started using it against America. The government isn’t aware of what Hammer is doing – they would frown upon that, but he’s hoping to perfect it before bringing it to them, to show that yes, it has been recreated, but by an American. He’s hoping that, if he can recreate it, he’ll be set for life. (Ivan: “What do you want them do?” Justin: ”Long term? I want it to put me in the Pentagon for the next 25 years. I wanna make Iron Man look like an antique. I wanna go to that Stark Expo. I wanna take a dump in Tony Stark’s yard, y’know what I’m talking about?”)
Always having been second best, and while he tried to be friendly to Tony Stark, he would constantly embarrass him in some way or another, Justin also wants to prove that he can do it to Tony, too. Not that he’ll ever admit to that, naturally.
