Though the Nike MAGs are already nostalgically beautiful in their own Back to the Future style, this custom Iron Man version of the Nike MAGs transforms the boot into something even more futuristic. Something that Tony Stark would invent. Something that you could imagine as part of Iron Man's armour. Something that I so desperately want. Read More >>
Like, duh. If you have a lot of Iron Man suits, you use those Iron Man suits to blow things up. Especially bad guys. If you don't enjoy doing that, then don't be Iron Man! Go be Peace Corp Man instead. Read More >>
Iron Man's HUD has always been one of the cooler details in any sci-fi movie. The way it pops up, the way it shields the face, the way it works — it's fantastically unreal and yet completely believable. And the beauty is in its impressive details. Read More >>
The tech driving Iron Man 3 isn't, as it typically is, Tony Stark's Iron Man suit. Instead, it's the medical-but-also-real-explodey Extremis. And believe it or not, the physiological nanoparticle science behind it isn't pure science fiction. At least some parts of it are within reach relatively soon. Read More >>
The honour of wearing badass protective gear isn't limited to astronauts and supersonic jet pilots. Here is a bit apocalyptic collection of everyday (well almost everyday) personal protective garments you should wear if you do not want to die. Read More >>

For as advanced and as lifelike as CGI effects have become over the last decade, physical props are still the bedrock of modern special effects—especially in movies about a guy in a robotic suit. Gizmodo recently sat down with two of Iron Man 3's effects masters, Shane Patrick Mahan and Lindsay MacGowan of Legacy Effects, who have worked on the groundbreaking effects of classic films like Terminator 2, Avatar, and Monster Squad, as well as Chris Townsend, the film's Visual Effects Supervisor, to find out how much of Iron Man is really real.

The third Iron Man could have been one of two movies. It could have gone on a light and self-referential victory lap of the Ocean’s Thirteen variety. Or it could have decided that after two outings—one great, the other basically good enough—we had enough foundation with the characters to really dig in. Either might have worked, but it tried to be both. And didn't quite pull it off. Read More >>

Iron Man has finally returned to cinemas, inevitably leaving a lot of us lusting for our own set of red and gold armour But it turns out that billions of pounds, a genius IQ, and the magic of Hollywood aren't required to realise that dream. At least, not for these brilliant amateur creations. Read More >>
If Tony Stark's fancy suit is good enough for taking down baddies like the Mandarin, surely at least part of his getup must be an effective way to secure your digital paraphernalia? Available in eight and sixteen gig capacities, these Iron Man severed hand flash drives include posable fingers, a glowing repulser in the palm, and they come in left and right hand versions forcing you to get both to complete the set.

"Fun item! my brother and I bought a whole set of these, including Mark 42, Mark 6, War Machine, and the Arc Reactor. Of course the Arc is mine!!!" More »
If you haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet, here's a little clip to put you in the mood. Apparently all that alien bashing, with a God for a sidekick, was all a bit too much for poor Stark. Now he can't sleep. I feel ya Tony, I can't sleep either. But then, I don't have billions of pounds to spend on whatever I want and a suit that you can actually fly like Superman in. Get over it you big baby! Read More >>
It's hard not to be won over by the charms of the original 2008 Iron Man movie. But it's possible—just possible—that you were so busy appreciating Marvel's whizzbang treatment and Robert Downey Jr.'s roguish charms that you missed these GIANT GLARING PROBLEMS. Read More >>

Iron Man 3 is out in the UK on general release tomorrow, ahead of the US by some time too I might add, and while most of us haven't had a chance to see it yet, an important question has cropped up: Is it worth seeing Stark's latest epic, or any new movie for that matter, in 3D these days? Has 3D in the cinema died like it has at home? Read More >>

TheIron Man 3 premiere was last night, and while most of us probably haven't yet got eyes-on with Stark's latest epic, maybe you're already eyeing-up the righteous Marvel merch? How about a full-sized Iron Man supersuit? Hell yes. Read More >>

Iron Man 3 is almost here. In fact it would be here today if it weren't for someone kicking the bucket. And with the new movie, Stark obviously gets some new upgrades to the Iron Man arsenal. Here's a brand new featurette from Marvel titled "Advancing the Tech" that takes you through all the new stuff in the movie. Read More >>
