In Marvel Comics lore, A.I.M. isn’t just an antiquated chatting service. It also stands for Advanced Idea Mechanics -- a science-based terrorist organization dedicated to ruining everything in the world. Led by their iconic yellow-outfitted lackeys and the fearsome floating head M.O.D.O.K., A.I.M. has clashed with many of the heroes in the Marvel universe.

But insidious comes in all forms: They could be the group hired by the government to develop the Extremis virus that "Iron Man 3" is supposed to feature, or they could be the ones behind the "Iron Patriot" costume that popped up last week.

We’ve already seen footage of Bane in charge of a criminal gang, so we know he’s not alone in his pursuit of Batman. It’s not too much of a stretch to say they hang out underground, because caves are the new hotels.
