The "Iron Man" exoskeleton being worked on by Robert Downey Jr. in the movie (left) is eerily similar to the real Exoskeleton (right) being developed at Raytheon.

The Ironman suit looks good.
The Raytheon deal looks like a drunk used an erector set and tin foil along with a large dose of bad taste.
I'm NOT impressed.

Tony Stark had a bad heart - do either of these suits overcome this disability?

It seems that all the 60’s and 70’s superpower characters of Stan Lee’s Marvel Comics are destined in at least one Hollywood movie. So whose next? I haven’t yet seen PowerMan on the silver screen.

“The Ironman suit looks good.

The Ironman suit is not real and does not work, though. It’s a movie prop.

Twenty years ago, this was a movie prop:
It seems similar to what Raytheon has. Perhaps in time we'll get Tony Stark's version.

I think that would be a good idea actually. As long as they don’t dress in that crappy 1970’s disco stuff.

Tony Stark (Iron Man’s alter ego) was an alcoholic in the comic books. Probably a very good piece of casting.

That was exactly what I was thinking of when I saw the Raytheon suit, too!

Prototypes are designed for functionality, rather than aesthetics. Get the thing working the way you want it to, then engineer it down.
My guess is there's another department in Raytheon, or another company for that matter, that's already working on the material for the exoskeleton.
Put the two together and you have an Iron Man suit.

It’s the other way around. I was reading Iron Man back in the early sixties when he looked like a bullet head.
