The Iron Man movie was awesome and we’ve all seen the crazy fanboys dressing up in cosplay costumes. The next take on the DIY arc reactor is very Robert Downey Jr and we think that’s a good thing (these days). Remember the terrible chest piece Tony Stark had to create to keep him self alive? Making your own isn’t too tough either; you just need to stand close to some explosive projectile.

Once it pierces your chest, the hard part is over. Gathering materials and soldering will be the least of your worries. Unfortunately, you can’t shoot impulse blasts from your chest with this arc reactor but at least you won’t have to settle for shitty life support.

What does an ex-fighter pilot do for thrills and kicks when he’s done shooting down krauts? He builds a unique rocket-powered flying machine, takes some opium and calls himself Fusion Man. Such is the life of 48-year-old Yves Rossy, the man behind the wings of his real-life Iron Man suit. Rossy is able to achieve speeds of 186 mph and altitudes of about 8200 ft.

It’s interesting how Fusion Man gets going on his wings. First, he jumps out of an airplane, after that, he coasts for awhile before igniting the four rockets on his wings. The entire time he is able to maintain complete control and even perform maneuvers like a 360 and barrel roll. All I want to know is how I can get my hands on one of these amazing suits. Who needs a FPV RC kit when you can become the airplane itself!

Damn! That is one sharp-looking Iron Man suit! Too bad if a bunch of terrorist fucks rolled up on you in Afghanistan, you’d be shit out of luck. Still, this is about as close to the real Tony Stark as you can get. Made by Andrew Le, who clearly has a lot of times on his hands, the electromagnet/arc reactor/beam-of-light in the middle of Iron Man’s chest even lights up and helps bring the pain to the fourth-period lunch table.

I saw the film last night at a midnight screening and it really is one of the best Marvel flicks yet. Robert Downey Jr. is PERFECT for the role of Tony Stark and I really think you’ll enjoy seeing it this weekend.

As disturbing as the image of Iron Man and The Hulk fornicating might be, I want you to think really hard. What would their love child look like if the two superheroes were to mate? Does it look like the pictured figure, or perhaps more green? Iron Man fan Jin-Saotome created this action figure, which he calls the Hulkbuster Iron Man.

In other words, it’s an educated guess on what the offspring would look like if Iron Man and The Hulk made whoopee. OK, not really, the Hulkblaster is just an awesome feature of the Iron Man’s canon weapon armor. Though if that ever were to happen, we would be better apt fearing for our life when the break-up argument ensued. — Andrew Dobrow
