The Sidewinder Self-Guided Missile, also known as the "Ex-Wife" Missile, is a projectile designed by Justin Hammer.
History
When Justin Hammer gives a presentation to the United States Armed Forces of the different weapons his company could potentially add to the War Machine armor, the Ex-Wife Missile was marketed as the best available.
During his battle against Whiplash, James Rhodes chose to deploy the Ex-Wife Missile against him; it turned out to be a dud. Iron Man laughed, "Hammer Tech?" as he watched the inferior weaponry's failure.[1]
During the Battle of Hong Kong, the Ten Rings used a tank armed with an Ex-Wife Missile which blew War Machine out the sky. Ultimately, he defeated the terrorists and rushed to New York.[2]
Abilities
This missile is a kinetic-kill sidewinder with a secondary cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) burst, which means it is designed to be fired from long ranges and its kinetic energy allows it penetrate armored targets. It then detonates with a force equivalent to that of C4 as RDX is a main component of C4 explosive. It is essentially a miniaturized dual-stage smart bunker-buster with a high explosive yield.
Despite its fearsome reputation, it ultimately failed to function properly when used by Rhodes in the War Machine Armor: Mark I. This was likely due to the short range at which it was deployed, lacking the time needed to build up enough velocity to penetrate its target.
