It looks like we have a real life Tony Stark on our hands. Inventor Richard Browning and his team at start-up, Gravity Industries, have created the Daedalus. It is basically a special suit that turns its wearer into a flying hero.
Its’ pretty fun to watch in action. Browning is able to control it with miniature jet engines on his limbs. Twin turbines mounted on his back or legs are for balance, and the two on each arm angle forward. He points down to create “a teepee of thrust vectors,” pushing him away from the ground.
He also needed to do some specialized exercises to build up his strength and balance to fly the thing. It may not be as graceful as Iron Man’s armor, but it is a great start.
The suit can travel at speeds up to 279 miles an hour, but it is worth noting that Browning hasn’t tested it anywhere near full capacity. I would love to play around with this suit, although I’d probably get seriously hurt.

OppoSuits makes suits with loud and themed patterns. One of their newest products is an officially licensed Pac-Man suit, which is printed all over with the stage, pellets, ghosts and the yellow man himself.
The modern cut is a pleasant surprise, although obviously a slim-fitting suit is not for everyone. Take your style to level 256 and order the Pac-Man suit for $110 (USD).
I’m Bark Man! Where does he get those wonderful woods? Quick, to the birch cave! Okay, that’s enough wood jokes. This awesome Batman suit was made by french artist Christophe Guinet and it looks cool as hell.
The artist uses botanical life of all kinds to create modified versions of familiar objects. In the past he has made “living” Nike sneakers made from flowers and even a “natural skateboard” made of tree bark. This time he made an actual Bat suit.
It is made from tree bark, moss, lichen and fungus, all wrapped around a foam mold. Surprisingly, it is sturdy enough that it can be worn. You could probably fight bad guys in it too. I’m thinking his alter ego would have to be named Bruce Wood.
