Inventing Iron Man Possibility of A Human Machine

"(W) E. Paul Zehr Tony Stark has been battling bad guys and protecting innocent civilians since he first donned his mechanized armor in the 1963 debut of Iron Man in Marvel Comics. A half century later, the man who showed us all what it would take to become Batman probes whether science and humankind is up to the task of inventing a real-life Iron Man. Applying scientific principles and an incredibly creative mind to the question, Zehr looks at how Iron Man's suit allows Stark to become a superhero. But superherodom is not just about technology, and Zehr also discusseswhether or not an extremely well-conditioned person could use Iron Man's armor and do what he does."
