Nick Fury and Natalie "Rushman" aka The Black Widow

Copyright infringement lawsuit from Justin Hammer
Keys to her hotel suite

Conan (O'Brien, not The Barbarian)
Conan (The Barbarian, not O'Brien)
It's Garry Shandling's Show

This is the theme to Garry's show, the theme to Garry's show. Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song.

Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko
Justin Hammer and Natasha Romanoff aka The Black Widow
Justin Hammer and James Rhodes aka War Machine
Justin Hammer and Nick Fury
By way of explanation.....
I have nothing funny to add here, so let's just take a moment to think about Scarlett Johansson in the Black Widow outfit.

"Black Widow-y."
"For an accountant, she has the most balanced books I've ever seen."
"Potentially a very expensive sexual harassment lawsuit"

By way of explanation.....
Just as an fyi, you don't really need to spend millions of dollars on technology to do that, dude. All you have to do is eat lots of bran and get past the security guards.

23. What is the engraved message on the diorama Howard Stark leaves his son?
"Knowledge is power."
"The facade is a facade."

"Wisdom is earned, not learned."
By way of explanation.....
Better life advice would have been, "If you're going to sleep with that many women, always wear condoms, son."
 
24. What is the hidden item passed down from father to son?
The cure for Palladium dependency
The estimated mass of Vibranium
The structure of a new element
The measurements of Miss December, 1964 (Like father, like son)
By way of explanation.....
Howard Stark knew the details of the new element, but 1960s technology was not advanced enough to achieve its invention.
 
25. Which Avengers item somewhat aids in the creation of the new element from question 24?
Captain America's shield
Stark's first Iron Man suit
Thor's hammer
Black Widow's "sexy lycra outfit"
By way of explanation.....
Shockingly, none of Iron Man's tech is used in the creation of the new element, but the shield is used to level one of the pipes.
 
26. Who physically attacks Iron Man onstage at the Stark Expo?
James Rhodes aka War Machine
Justin Hammer
Natalie Rushman aka Black Widow
Pepper Potts, who clearly never wanted to be CEO of Stark Industries.
By way of explanation.....

27. Who strong arms (literally) their way into making Hammer reveal that he is working with Vanko and where Vanko is located at the time?
Happy Hogan
Iron Man
James Rhodes aka War Machine
Natalie Rushman aka Black Widow
By way of explanation.....

2
4
6
All of them (except the one fighting Happy).

29. What impact does the Ex-Wife have on Whiplash's armor?
It negates his left whip.
It shreds a segment of the leg armor.
It temporarily blinds him, allowing War Machine to get behind him.
None. It's Hammer Tech, after all.
By way of explanation.....
"Hammer Tech?" is my favorite moment in the movie.
 
30. Who presents Stark and Rhodes their awards for heroism?
Justin Hammer
Nick Fury
Senator Stern (Garry Shandling's character)
Steve Rogers (but not the same actor as in the Captain America movie)
