Real Iron Man Suits

I found this next story when I was reading the Magna Carta one at LiveScience.com, and thought it was interesting, and there are graphics, and a video to go with it.

I will mention that I had heard of Iron Man, but had never read any of the comics, so what little I know of him is from the review for the upcoming movie.

The story states: "Iron Man," the upcoming movie from Marvel Studios, will be on screens around the world in a few weeks. In the movie, a genius businessman invents a suit of armor with extraordinary strength. People everywhere have been looking at the previews, asking "Who will be first with a real powered-armored suit like Iron Man's?"

Well, exoskeleton fans, we've got some real contenders warming up.

The Sarcos XOS exoskeleton is an impressive device. The suit allows the user to endlessly pull weight; two hundred-pound pulldowns are easy. The user of the suit feels only about ten of those two hundred pounds.
