Downey has been in Western Massachusetts for a few weeks shooting “The Judge,” a dramedy costarring Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester, and Billy Bob Thornton. When he’s on the street, as he was when Denno wandered past with her son in a wagon and her dog on a leash, Downey draws a crowd.

HEATHER DENNO

Robert Downey Jr. comforted Jaxson when he started to cry.

She stood and watched for a few minutes and then returned home. But Denno hadn’t taken any pictures of the actor so her husband asked her to go back. That’s when Downey noticed Jaxson, began waving to the little boy, and finally came over to say hello.

“I said to my son, ‘Hey, here’s ‘Iron Man,’ but he didn’t have the red suit on so Jaxson put his hands over his face and got upset,” said Denno.

Chinese man spends eight years building himself bionic hands after DIY accident (well, he was building a bomb to go fishing)

August 16, 2012 by The Atomic Yeti Leave a comment

Sun Jifa, 51, lost both his hands when a bomb he was creating for blast fishing in Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, exploded

Could not afford hospital’s prosthetic arms so made his own

‘I survived but I had no hands and I couldn’t afford to buy the false hands the hospital wanted me to have – so I decided to make my own,’ he explained.

‘I control them with movements from my elbows and I can work, love normally and feed myself just like anyone else,’ explained the real life tin man.

‘The only drawback is that steel is quite heavy so they’re tiring to wear and get hot or cold in the extremes of summer and winter,’ added Sun.

Now he plans to develop the design for other similarly disabled people.
‘I made this from scrap metal for virtually nothing. There is no need to pay hospitals a fortune,’ he said.

The cost of being Iron Man

The cost of being Iron Man

Iron Man is one of the richest superheroes of all time with enormous wealth to spend on weapons, gadgets and technology – but how much would it cost you to become Iron Man?

Before you reach for your Platinum Credit Card, it should be noted that Iron Man, like Batman, doesn’t actually possess super human powers, but instead uses his wealth to fund the state of the art gadgets, vehicles and weaponry which he uses to fight crime.

Iron Man aka Tony Stark has an estimated personal wealth of $9.3 billion. The majority of his fortune was accumulated through his company, Stark Industries, which he inherited from his father, Howard. Stark Industries is worth an estimated $20.3 billion!

Stark Industries is a fictional defence contractor that develops advanced weapons systems for the military. With his immense wealth and all that military technology at his fingertips, Tony Stark doesn’t need savings or a loan to fund his extraordinary lifestyle – but how much would it cost you to become this Marvel Comics superhero? Take a look at our infographic below for the costs associated with Iron Man’s suits, cars, home, weapons, gadgets and more

Marvel One-Shot: Item 47: Clip 1

July 18, 2012 by The Atomic Yeti Leave a comment

We might have to wait another year until “Iron Man 3″ hits theaters, but we’ll get a look into the Marvel cinematic universe before then. The studio is releasing a new one shot called “Item 47,” which was screened for the first time at Comic-Con, in the “Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 1″ boxed set. Marvel has unveiled two clips from the 12-minute short film, and both give us a better idea of what we can expect from its follow-up story to “The Avengers.”

But first, a bit of background. “Item 47″ stars Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford, both newcomers to the Marvel universe. They are two normal people who find a discarded weapon (the titular Item 47) from the Chitauri invasion that occurred in “The Avengers” and go off on a Bonnie and Clyde-style adventure while two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (played by “The Avengers’s” Maximiliano Hernandez and “Lost’s” Titus Welliver) try to stop them. Caplan and Bradford’s characters are appropriately named Benny and Claire.
