If you’ve ever dreamt of being Iron Man, and who hasn’t, then you’ve got to see this. In his new Discovery Channel show, Savage Builds, former Mythbusters co-host Adam Savage builds a replica of Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit. Now, remember, because we have to constantly remind ourselves of this, that Iron Man is a movie, a fictional story about a flying-suit-wearing superhero. But Savage intends in this episode to make it real.

How’d it go? Surprisingly well! Savage had the suit made on a commercial 3-D printer and it looks nothing short of awesome. And then he fitted a jet pack complete with thrusters to make the thing fly.
