Counting Down The 9 Best 'Iron Man' Suit-Ups From The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Ever since the release of Iron Man in 2008, the idea of wearing a mechanized super-suit has been on my to-do list. One of the coolest things, in my opinion, is the evolution of not just the suits themselves, but how they're put on.

Sure, claustrophobia might be a concern if you were in a suit, especially the ones that required a separate device to take on or off... but I do think it would be worth it to wear one. Now just to become a billionaire.. and hey, if all else fails and I can't get the tech for a mech suit, at least I could pull off Batman!

9. "Iron Man" (Mark 1, cave suit).

As far as suit ups go, this one isn't too exciting. Although I DO really enjoy the suit itself for it's "realness."

8. "Avengers: Age of Ulton" (Hulkbuster).

When the Hulkbuster was first revealed to me in a trailer, I thought it would be its own suit, but the fact that it was more of an attachment to other suits lowered its cool ranking.

7. "Avengers Infinity War."

Nanotech is neat, but I think they went too far with this one. It looks like the suit is defying physics by creating matter from nothing. Although, like Mark 1, I really like the suit as a whole.

6. "Captain America: Civil War."

I really liked a lot of this suit up except how it was executed. I mean, just a button? Really? If that was me I'd hit that so many times by accident.

5. "Iron Man 3" (final battle).

Tony goes through SO MANY SUITS in this scene, but the way he goes from suit to suit to suit to suit is so slick. Some were cooler than others, but it was still neat to see so many.

4. "Iron Man" (Mark III).

While this suit isn't as flashy as his new ones, the way he suits up in it feels so doable. We see pieces getting hooked and connected. I could see Elon Musk having one of these set up in his basement...

3. "The Avengers" (Mark VII).

The clip I linked is like a twofer. We see a cool un-suit then an AMAZING suit up as Tony is falling to his death. Only complaint... I feel like he fell for an unreasonable amount of time... but it's not like this is the most real of real universes we live in.

2. "Iron Man 3."

I loved this particular suit up for Tony's humor and the way the pieces just flew to him in the ways that were also usable by themselves to a certain extent.

1. "Iron Man 2."

I have loved this suit since I first saw "Iron Man 2" in the theaters. The idea of a travel suit was cool and done really well. We see the suit is almost skeletonized with fewer gadgets, which makes sense having it be for travel. Plus it still looks almost doable for the size and way he put it on. 10 outta 10.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
