Adam Savage, best known as the former co-host of Discovery Channel’s long-running science and technology series “Mythbusters,” has gone viral for building his own bulletproof Iron Man suit that flies. Savage and his team used a 3D printer and other technological innovations to build the real-life superhero armor. The video of Savage’s efforts, published online by CNET, has earned over 2.3 million views in its first two days online.
Iron Man last graced the big screen in this year’s record-breaking tentpole “Avengers: Endgame,” which served as a swan song for the character. Iron Man/Tony Stark was played by Robert Downey Jr. since the 2008 “Iron Man” movie, which kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Savage’s real Iron Man outfit resembles some of the prototypes Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark was working on in “Iron Man 2.”

Adam Savage decided to make a real-life flying Iron Man suit. The former Mythbuster has started a new Discovery Channel series titled Savage Builds and the first episode is dedicated to the Iron Man build. Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have been making some pretty amazing suits over the years with incredible detail, but this just might be the best in terms of what Tony Stark would make if he were a real person and not a comic book character.
Adam Savage got the idea to make the Iron Man suit after learning about the 3D printing company Eos, who are able to print titanium. Technically, the suit is made from thin titanium and not iron, but it is bulletproof, as the video shows. The suit was tested using .22, 9mm, and .45 bullets, each one leaving a minor scratch on the armor. Marvel Studios provided official design dimensions from the movies, which...
