I’m not, by any means, an Iron Man detractor. Tony was never my favorite superhero, but I like the guy. I’ve written a few articles about him, and some of his comics rank high on my list – like Superior Iron Man. That being said, Avengers is no X-men. There’s just no way Tony’s Team …

They are responsible for most of Iron Man’s functions, like flight and attack. But many misconceptions surround repulsors. So a …
