If this ends with Tony having a suit infused into his bones or whatever I'll be pissed.

But if it makes us all get amnesia and forget the few minutes of depressed, drunk Tony performing karaoke it might be worth it...right?

[T'Baio]

I guess it's just me...I liked drunk Tony in the suit.

And the fact that the arc reactor was missing in several scenes in The Avengers makes me think they do it in post.

William Sadler was reportedly spotted around or on the IM3 set in North Carolina it seems.

Who was that blond man wandering around the ‘Iron Man 3′ stages?

Why it was WILLIAM SADLER!

No word yet on who Sadler is on hand to portray, but it seems like he was around for a costume fitting, similar to Pearce.
...
Anywho – big news is William Sadler is bringing some great “hey! it’s that guy!” cred to the ‘Iron Man 3′ casting.

Or it could be he simply didn't have the costume piece on at the time or it was just obscured by lighting/clothing. Again, I don't see why they'd do it in post when a physical device would be infinitely cheaper and easier to do.

Trekker I guess you've never read Extremis?

Favs is back...

No, just vaguely familiar with what happens in it. Doesn't the suit become something he can willfully activate and it like comes out of bones or something rather than being, well, a suit? I think that sort of diminishes the "every day man becoming a hero" thing.

Sadler rocks but it would have been more exciting if it was William Shatner!

Since when is a Billionaire with a suit of power armor that he built powered by the equivalent of a mini nuclear reactor that is implanted in his chest an example of the "every day man becoming a hero"?

[Admiral_Young]

Yeah, Tony Stark is hardly an "every man". He's a genius, billionaire playboy!

[Turtletrekker]

And philanthropist!

Do yourself a favor and read the damn book. If you can't I'll tell you via PM. It's a 4 year old comic, sure, but it's a great, nuanced tale, and it's definitely worth not spoiling.

I got your link but I apparently don't have a viewer for the file type... or something. I track down a trade for it and give it a look. I'm not a big Marvel reader, nor a follower of Iron Man (really his movie was the first meaningful exposure I had to him.) But in reading about him since then and reading about the Extremis armor (again, IIRC was the armor encased in the hollow spots of his bones or something like that...?) made me roll my eyes a bit. The "man in powered suit" idea appealed to me more. But I'll check out that story line.
