DigitalTrends reports a Chinese man crafted his own Iron Man suit. ZTE employee Wang XiaoKang spent three months building his own Mark I suit and spent around 3,000 yuan (roughly $460) on parts. Looks surprisingly good.
Weighing 110 pounds, the suit has its own cooling fan, LED lights, and custom arc reactor in it. The ZTE campus security guards were shocked, to say the least. After all, can you really keep a building secure from a man in an Iron Man suit? XiaoKang is currently working on a Mark III suit, which should be more form fitting and look more like the Iron Man we all know and love. Let’s hope he doesn’t try to build a suit that transforms into a briefcase.
