The first one had Jeff Bridges as Obidah Stane being the bad guy. Stane was pretty clever and menacing. Iron Man 2 had Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, who was a pretty awesome bad guy (this movie also featured an Elon Musk cameo). I think you probably mean Iron Man 3 where the bad guy was Guy Pearce playing Aldrich Killian, a sniveling nerd who becomes powerful, but also is the “power behind the throne”, making people believe that The Mandarin appear to be the bad guy.

I got confused, I mean IM2, the character Sam Rockwell plays
Justin Hammer from Hammer Industries. Good one.
Ironically, Elon Musk has a cameo in that movie. But he pretends to be a success, so Justin Hammer’s still a better fit.
