There have been a lot of amazing fan-made Iron Man costumes, but the DIY Iron Man Mark V Briefcase Suit is definitely my favorite.
A guy who calls himself “The Real Tony Stark” has decided to make an Iron Man costume based on the briefcase armor that always has fanboys screaming. His DIY Iron Man Mark V Briefcase Suit is spectacular and you can really tell how much time and effort he put into the project. What’s even better is that he’s made his own lit-up arc reactor and that he was able to reproduce the sounds of the hero’s weapon when it fires.
The suit may not actually be the high-tech briefcase that you saw in Iron Man 2, but the effort and creativity that went into it must be commended here.
