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.

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

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.
