Linux is a force of evil … so says Tony Stark

File this under “WTF?” Our beloved Iron Man, the drunk ol’ asshole who no one seems to like right now has a new facet to upset Bloggers, developers, crackers, Linux users and hackaday.com.

In this bit of news, it seems ol’ shellhead is going to be taking on a new force of evil. In the absense of Soviet Union and Crimson Dynamo representing the anti-American forces of Communism, collectivism and anti-capitalism, we have a new behemoth – nerds who like to create free software. Here’s a little sample of writer Matt Fraction’s take on villian Ezekial Stane:

Zeke is a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist… He has absolutely no loyalty to any sort of law, creed, or credo. He doesn’t want to beat Tony Stark, he wants to make him obsolete.

Quick, delete your copies of GIMP, Firefox, Adium and NeoOffice and burn that Ubuntu-based laptop. Do it in the name of our hero, Tony Stark, a drunk who dresses like a robot.
