The IRON MAN 3 News & Speculation Thread - Part 7

[Gary Griffith]

Off topic, but will we ever see Iron Man with his roller skates in the MCU? Probably not. Don't know who came up with that idea - Lee, Kirby, Heck? - but seeing IM skating around Manhattan was about the stupidest upgrade ever! Lol

Hey, did anyone else notice in the spot that he flies out of AF1 as if he'd been inside the plane? Think there may be anything there?

In the first trailer you can see Tony punching from outside into the plane. So that's probably the way he gets in.

Guy's been through a lot of stress lately since the invasion, and we know how stress can contribute to the graying of hair.

[sabetoonth]

I do have a bit of wonder over how that happened, did it happen at will or did he do or say something to activate the switch? Or just JARVIS being pro-active? Thinking about it right now was probably JARVIS

[ThePowerCosmic]

Yeah, it was probably Jarvis.

I agree. How can Tony keep an eye on all those statistics. Some text is bordering on microscopic

The text expands when Tony looks at it. It's only small before then so it can all fit in the hud. Plus, it's easier for Tony to keep up with all the statistics because his mind operates faster than most and Jarvis also assists him.

[mkilban2]

he is a genius afterall lol

[ThePowerCosmic]

Precisely.

I could imagine RDJ's Stark making a quick witted reply

"Uh it's called multitasking?"


We need a thread where we come up with our own witty Stark replies

Of all the MCU superheroes shown thus far, Cap is the one with the best resume when it comes to combat and small unit tactics. Natasha might arguably have better martial arts skills than him, but his super-'roids means that he could beat her to a pulp.

TL/DR: Cap don't need no more training. He's already a Super Soldier. Keyword: soldier.

I'm just going by what we see on screen. He had no more than a few days training before the serum was injected into him. From there, he became a propaganda tool, before breaking away and relying on his natural talents to become the "proper" captain america. From there, he got his shield and went about destroying red skull's facilities. I don't see where he got any martial arts training in, in that time. If he did get some, we didn't see him use any in the first avenger. Then he gets frozen and wakes up and i think the avengers takes place shortly after the end of TFA, so he hardly could have gotten proficient in any martial arts; assuming he even started training in them.

Cap's hand to hand abilities are what make him such a threat despite not technically having super powers. From where I stand, it is this aspect of his character that has been largely ignored in the two films he has been in. I am hoping he trains in shield hand-to-hand or something like that in the interim between the avengers and the winter soldier. It would be a nice change of pace from the other marvel movies to have a straight up martial arts fight.

I should imagine there would be some very bad ones conjured

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, it's called any caption thread EVER.

Didn't the roller skates charge up his armor, though? I might be misremembering that. Skates would be better than using a plug.

There's another page after that one.

[marvel_freshman]

Oh, I thought that was the last page. I haven't read it yet, just seeing what's on Tumblr. Is what's on the next page contradicting the 'Cellar-Hall of armor' theory?
