I think you ask too many questions Peter... HE might come lookin for ya :D

Haha way to rain on my parade, Peter. The little boy in me just ran to his room, crying. But oh well, I'll always have my Iron Man action figure...even if he doesn't have enough energy as a nuclear power station, or worryingly thin armour.

I thinks Iron Man is a lame version of Superman.

Smoke.

Still a comic book...
Still a hero...

The suit's armor is thin because it has been designed with nano-scale materials that exceed the hardness of diamond - something to do with the way the molecules are latticed together.

It doesn't need to be thick to stop tank shells; but the suit has to provide a bit of negative feedback thrust to counter-act the sheer kinetic force of impact...otherwise Iron Man would be thrown half a block when he's hit. The gyro-stabilization software takes care of that automatically.

The power source is proprietary technology from Stark Industries - but I heard a rumor that it is, in fact, a nano-scale fusion reactor, carefully packaged in a lead casing and shaped with a special lens that can shutter open to provide a burst of raw energy (the 'chest beam' weapon).

Stark isn't hooked up to the Web; he's actually finagled his way (hey, he's a billionaire) to being one of the first few to log into the Grid...the fiber-optic network which will replace the Web in a few years. Connection speeds are up to 300 times faster - Tony can download the entire season of South Park in about 3 seconds and watch it in his helmet on long intercontinental flights. He's using a modded Beta of Firefox to interface.

Hope that answers your questions! ^_^

I don't really see how you compare Iron Man and Superman. I'd say Iron Man is a cooler Batman...

Dang it Charles,

That was almost too deep for your own good....

Why doesnt Superman simply turn back time every time he as a problem to overcome, it would seem logical to me... forget fighting the odds...

Spin the Earth back a few hours and Voila !

How you compare Iron Man to superman or batman is beyond me. Superman, he's from another planet and Batman, come on, Batman has gadgets and hardcore training. Iron Man is a genius in a highly thoughtout and planned suit. Iron Man is a man with nothing but intellegence that learns how to harness his intellegence for the greater good. Batman is out for vengence and Superman just doesn't know any better seeing as how he's not from Earth.

I compared Iron Man and Batman because they are both born of tragedy and esentially rely more on gadgets and intelligence than anything else. Only Iron Man is interesting. Batman has gotten so stale.

I think we're all forgetting one tiny detail: its a comic book. Of course its not plausible.

evrything starts out as since fiction then with time and inovation becomes real world fact. tech has to develop to that level or just like supermans home planet earth will blow up one day "millena way mind you." I prefer to be an optimist and put my monney into tech like this

Okay. Let's hear your inputs.

Batman, Superman, and Ironman, all stuffed into a wrestling ring to duke it out in a massive Battle Royal alas WWF style. Could have the Cat Woman prance about with the signs, the Hulk filling the role of the loud mouth manager, Spiderman as the towel guy, and the Joker as the announcer.

What do y'all think?

kdog;

What I think? How dare you degrade two of the most inovative superhero's of all time and Batman. For one; It wouldn't be a staged show. Hell no. For two; people at ring side would die at ring side, leading to law suits. Don't ever compare Superhero's to the WWE/WWF.

Jenn;
And no wonder your freinds say you'r boring...

Charles: you officially win a No-Prize!
