Oh to be Iron Man...it's every comic fans dream. While we cannot strap on our Iron Man suit like Tony Stark, the road to making it a reality just got a little bit closer.
Raytheon has unveiled its second-generation exoskeleton (XOS 2) robot suit. XOS 2 is lighter("light enough to play soccer in"), stronger and faster than its predecessor, yet it uses 50 percent less power, and its new design makes it more resistant to the environment. Watch the video!

First it was the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and Republicans members of Congress and now it's the Avengers - government run health care (or Obama Care as it is known in some circles) touches everyone, even earth's mightiest superheroes.

The sketch sees Tony Stark addressing the team's new health plan, with each Avenger inadvertently revealing their health care needs as they inquire about how reform impacts their lives. Scarlet Witch is worried about her artificial domestic partner and imaginary children, Hawkeye's worried about STD's and unwanted pregnancies, Thor feels marginalized as a god from another realm and Wolverine is just happy to be Canadian.
