The Rhino will be played by Paul Giamatti in The Amazing Spider Man 2 (2014). Winner of various awards including an Emmy, Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award, he certainly brings his own unique brand of acting to the Spider Man franchise.
Some of his recent work have been on works like the mini series John Adams (2008) and the really strange John Who Dies At The End (2012) showing his range from dtama to action to fantasy. He's creative and who could forget his role in Cosmopolis (2012) and the final scene where he and Robert Pattinson exchange words.
Now let's examine The Rhino...........
NAME
Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich
ORIGINSAfter being empowered, Aleksei Sytsevich is directed by the agents who gave him his powers to kidnap Colonel John Jameson for his knowledge of military secrets. The Rhino, however, betrays the scientists who empowered him and goes on a rampage, eventually being defeated by the superhero Spider-Man. He is imprisoned and kept there with sedation, but breaks out soon after and continues to try to kidnap Jameson. Spider-Man uses a web developed by Curt Connors that melts off his hide and then knocks him unconscious.
Eventually approached by the same scientists with another more powerful suit, the Rhino agrees to find and kidnap Bruce Banner (the alter ego of the Hulk), for his knowledge of gamma radiation. The villain encounters the Hulk, but he is critically injured and nearly killed by severe wounds from an exploding truck before a significant battle can occur. The Hulk manages to survive the Rhino's attempt to take his foe down with him, using his last bit of strength for an attack from behind, and the villain loses consciousness in the Hulk's grip, defiantly claiming that he would have defeated the Hulk in a fair fight.
POWERS & ABILITIES
The Rhino possesses extreme superhuman strength enabling him to lift more than 75 tons and up to 100 tons with his suit on. The Rhino possesses superhuman speed that enables him to run and/or exercise at top-notch speeds; hence he can, while charging or ramming, appear at his destination rather quickly although he cannot move nearly as fast as speedsters.
The Rhino's enhanced musculature is much more efficient than that of a normal human and generates considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity. At his peak, he can exert himself physically for up to 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood starts to impair him. Rhino possesses a thick polymer mat suit similar to a rhinoceros hide, covering his entire body except for his face. The suit is highly impervious to damage and temperature extremes, and is also equipped with a horn. Mutagenic chemical and radiation treatments, including gamma ray bombardment, provides the character with superhuman strength, heightened levels of speed and stamina, and a high degree of durability. The second Rhino wears a high-tech armor and wields a battle-axe with its blades in the shape of a rhinoceros' horns. Even without his suit, the Rhino's body is highly resistant to physical injury. He can withstand high caliber bullets, exposure to temperature extremes, falls from great heights and even light anti-tank weaponry without sustaining injury.
The Rhino's costume grants him a high degree of resistance to physical injury. It is highly impervious to damage, able to resist explosions equivalent to 1 ton of TNT, the impact of small anti-tank weaponry, and temperature extremes between -50˚ and 1,000˚ F without cracking or melting. It is acid resistant and removable. The suit boosts his strength, features a bulletproof polymer mat rhino-like hide and two horns capable of penetrating 2-inch plate steel.
