Since his armor gets in such bad shape by the end of every movie I wonder if tony will upgrade to a new alloy(maybe in Avengers 2). Maybe he will try to crack the formula for creating vibranium. Didn't howard create caps shield? I would be happy if tony manages to create an alloy not as strong but close to that, making the new suits far more resistant.

I don't think Howard created the material that consists of CA's Shield. He just said that the metal used to create the shield was so rare that they could only find enough to make CA's shield.

Howard did not create the element the shield is made from (vibranium). He did "make" the shield, but no details were given on how he designed it, cut it, etc.

I was just wondering, (besides looking more dramatic and cool) why does Iron Man faint/lose power after sending the missile at the Chitauri home? He has flown in space before, and there's no icing problem...I don't see why he couldn't have let go of the missile and just turned around and flown back through the portal?

Flying to the outer layers of the Earth's atmosphere is not the same as flying in outer-space. I don't think the IM suit is equipped to handle the vacuum of space. Though after this experience, the Mark VIII probably will be, lol.

Didn't they also say that by the time IM3 rolls around, Tony will have a whole set of new armors to select from?

And rumors floating around that he'll be getting the Extremis armor. They're casting ladies to play whom I presume is Maya Hansen.

Looks like RDJ is going to make at least $50 million from the Avengers. I wonder how much Joss is getting.
