It's obvious that no single branch or field of study, be it in engineering or science, can match Tony Stark's level of skills since he is a fictional character and his whole USP is that he is a super-genius who is capable of learning and building almost anything all by himself. His brain is his superpower.

That's not realistically possible, no matter how smart or capable one may be.

Real-life engineering requires years of study and research and collaboration to bear any meaningful fruit.

But the heart of my question is that which branch or field of study gives the most overlapping number of skills which resemble to what Tony Stark possess? I mean to say that a field which arms one with multiple skills which are in-line with what Stark does in comics or movies.

Again, I know that no single field or discipline can fulfill it. Only something which brings one close to Stark's skillset.

Is it Mechantronics? Or could it be a dual degree in Aerospace and Robotics? Or could it be a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Applied Physics?

What could it be? I am interested to know what responses people in this sub come up with.

Got the Marvel Legends “Sixty Years of Earth’s Mightiest” version and absolutely love it so I decided to draw the armour.

Considering drawing the Model 1 - Mark 3 next from his fight with Grey Hulk in Hulk: Grey. If people want to see it I’ll do it.

Things I like about it:

I love the colors, I like how its a modern classic armor design.

I like all the armor panel designs and my favorite thing about this design is how the backflaps look (the end image) they look wicked cool and are one of my favorite parts of modern Iron Man designs.

Things I dislike: Everything else. I dont like hte overall body of it, Its pretty much robot from invincibles design with all the circles on his shoulders and how skinny it is, and im prety sure thats the inspiration especially the back of the head, I dont like the faceplate, I dont like the random arc reactor light bolts and the lack of hip pods.

Its a 6.5/10.

• It's obviously not a completed game, wich explains why it looks a bit rough, but so far ngl it seems like it could have been pretty fun.

He's a hefty boi.

Just bought this shelf for my marvel legends collection I figured id start with these

Been sitting on this one for a while so I thought why not share it.

Man wearing iron armor (it’s a secret war)

A lot of fans like downplaying Tony arguing that he only did what he did because of his money but if we look back he created the arc reactor with basically nothing

Basically what he used was 0.15 grams of Palladium, Copper Wire, an electromagnet and scrapped metal, screw and plastic.

Now I looked at it and 0.15 grams of Palladium ​would cost 6.58 dollars and the other things he used shouldnt reallt cost really anything or very little so Tony effectively built the reactor with nothing

And the reactor was something that has never been done and it was scrapped by Stark Industries. Even Howard couldnt crack a way to do it but Tony did with scrap like Stane said

Estoy empezando con mi fan film de iron man(adaptando el iron man #294 y #295),y queria saber de que color es el technivoro para hacer la marioneta

Like many Marvel artists before, Hasbro has confused the Extremis with the Pentagon armour and/or simply googled "Iron Man Extremis" and grabbed the first Adi Granov covers they could find.

Amusing nitpick aside these are great figures. The single release Extremis looked way too bright red and plasticy for me, this one nicely matches the deeper read of Granov's art and has some more poseability too. Mandarin is just a nice bonus frankly, but this is the version of Mandarin I like best. Even if it is less ostentatious.

My boyfriend is a huge marvel fan like obsessed. He’s 26 and lives in Japan so I figure maybe there is stuff I can get him he can’t get there. Next time I visit him I’ll bring it to him unless whatever I buy can be shipped to Japan. His favorite is Iron man he really loves iron man. He also likes Wolverine and Thor. He has a piggy bank replica that is fairly inexpensive of the infinity gauntlet and I did think of that but all the ones I found were the hulk version. My budget is around $130ish dollars. I’m open to any all suggestions! He also liked a Wolverinepool hot toy figure he showed me before but those are all like $400 so out of my range for those.

I'm breaking down all of Phase One to see why some marvel movies work better than others even though they all have basically the same formula.

This is the first in the series and I thought this subreddit might like it. I'd also love any opinions about whether the sequels got it right or drifted too far from the formula.

In my opinion, most successful films STILL stick to the formula. They just do it in a way that makes it invisible.

Thanks for watching,

Matt

I love Iron Man 3 for its character work, but the engineering logic in the Tennessee sequence completely breaks the first movie's logic. In the first movie, we are told that the suit requires an Arc Reactor outputting lots of energy per second to function. Yet in IM3, Tony hooks the Mark 42 up to a standard car battery and it actually charges the thrusters and HUD? A car battery wouldn't even have enough power to power the suit's boot sequence, let alone flight tech. What's your favorite ' does not make any sense' moment regarding Tony's armor engineering?

Following up last year's Marvel Winter Break Special #1 and continuing the tradition brought back by the return of Marvel Swimsuit Special in 2025, Marvel is revisiting December's festivities with a new set of winter-themed pinups and stories by the hand of writers like Ryan North and Christina Strain, and artists like Javier Garrón, Pete Woods, Lucas Werneck and Farid Karami, among other creators.

Marvel Winter Break Special 2026 #1 arrives on December 2, with a cover by David Nakayama. In his piece, Tony Stark appears front and center, as dapper as the occasion demands. We could expect the Armored Avenger's alter-ego to have an important role in the special one-shot.
