    Iron Man

    Character » Iron Man appears in 11204 issues.

    Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.

    SlashFilm found a new viral site for the upcoming Iron Man 2 film. The website (pictured right) is http://www.starkexpo2010.com/accutech/  and it features new exoskeleton technology. At this point, there's a video introducing the new exoskeleton, a technical briefing video, a press release, and an "about us" section, and the press release is incredibly realistic. I had a good chuckle when I noticed it was a downloadable PDF file. 

     Using revolutionary hyper-sensors and nano-hydraulic technology, the exoskeleton is able to detect and amplify body movement. Covering over 80% of the human body, it also protects its wearer from high impact and extreme temperatures.
    In a video released today at www.starkexpo2010.com/accutech/ a prototype arm is shown in action, with the full exoskeleton due to be unveiled next month at the hotly anticipated Stark Expo 2010.

    Obviously, these mass-produced exoskeletons will be a major part of the upcoming Iron Man film. If you've seen the trailers for the film, most of us are aware that there are many Iron Man-esque suits that War Machine and Iron Man end up fighting. I'm a huge fan of viral marketing. I love the fact it blurs the line between reality and fiction. With this site, it's very basic, straight-to-the-point, and moderately professional. I wonder how many people found that website and actually thought this stuff existed? I really hope that the marketing team behind this website continues to do more viral marketing like this. It's exciting, fun, creates a lot of hype for the film. 
     
    What do you guys think of this viral campaign? Anyone want to buy an exoskeleton?

    They are really going all out for this movie. I wonder if they'll make "footage" of Cap during WW2, that would be cool. Do like a history channel style documentary on Cap or something.

    Awesome idea, like even have some "1940's" footage of him just like target practicing and then some battlefield footage.

    Wow.. you could have "Top Secret" (now unveiled) footage of Project Rebirth &how Starks Biotech division in the present has been trying (unsuccessfully) to safely replicate the process which created one of the Greatest American Heroes to ever live..cutting back to old lab footage of the team behind  Dr Erskine &even possibly highlighting Stark Sr's involvement in the tech side of things.. (notably the metallurgical side ie: discovering &creating a  Vibro-Adamantium alloy for use in allied armor.....) it would all tie in to the up coming movies REALLY well...at least  think so anyway
