It looks like he made his armor out of his sports car.  It has the same sheen and visual texture as today's cars do... and how durable is the metal used today?  He better be careful of shopping carts.   ;D

A real titanium or carbon alloy armor wouldn't have that sheen, usually having an overall dullness.  It has that costume and not realistic battle armor look to it.

Which looks like more durable armor to you?  That or this?

I don't know... that armor has an oil paint look to it. Real mecha-barbarian armor wouldn't have that kind of look at all. Forged metal and medieval shielding usually have less skulls and Iron Crosses on them. It just doesn't have that realistic battle armor look, ya' know?

LOL....  :D

Come on, would a woman be caught dead in a thing like that?

How much are you paying me?   ;)

In the Emperor's name, shall you be purged for this slight against the Adeptus Astartes!

    There hasn't been any talk of him having organic rockets, has there?

What do you mean by organic? If you're asking if the practical suit can really fly, I'm guessing no. ;)

And for those who miss the old school eyeholes:

Oh, I dunno...

Wow, that's... uh, wow. It goes from cool to creepy immediately when you add pupils

I looove the ToyFares whenever Thor makes an appearance.  "Prithy, madam, I have but a toaster to return... the receipt hath vanished..."

Neither really, but I appreciate your point. He looks like Fiberglass Man more than Iron Man. Like he's in danger of a teenager putting a body kit and a fake hood scoop on him.

I just have fun imagining Stark doing the paint job, after carefully choosing a color scheme.

"Red and Gold! It just screams "justice," doesn't it?!"

See, I'm picturing Tony's cousin, Beau Stark, painting his suit of power armor orange with a big confederate flag on the back.

Or Leroy Stark putting spinny rims on his and painting it purple and white.

Junkyard

Trevor Stark, doing it up in a Pink/ Pastel Yellow. FABulous!
