Ah yes. Looked it up -he could access and control the Infonet- which allowed him to project a gravimetric sheath around himself and incapacitate people by downloading the library of congress into their brains...

Extremis, in concept, starts as a nice power upgrade, and ends with the fanboy-wanker version of Iron Man.

The bleeding edge is that. Extremis was just basic advanced armor that was nanobots. Bleeding edge is just that taken too far.

After learning about that extremis thing, and that IM3 will be based on it, I'm not sure I want to see the movie any more. :/
All the charm of the Tony Stark/Iron Man character, is that he's an engineer using a machine he invented, with his hands. It caters to the joy of toying with screws and bolts and make great things with them.
All the things Stark invented in the movie were done fiddling scrap, or holograms, or nuclear device, but it's the complete opposite of nanomachines. And the coolest parts of the movies are seeing the armor being built or deconstructed before your eyes.

That's the bleeding edge, not the extremis. Bleeding Edge is overpowered and should be the last suit with him facing a huge group of his Rogue gallery that survive. Living Laser, Blizzard, Mandarin, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man.... I think are good start for a nice finish.
Bleeding Edge is broken. Extremis is pretty normal just more energy, always on him, and makes him stronger and a bit faster.

But that's soon being replaced by MYSTERY IRON MAN. Who is the man behind the mask!?
Is that Bruce Boxleitner in there?
Considering the ludicrous image quality of this flick I have no doubt that it will be.

Same.
That's not the Extremis armor, it's the Bleeding Edge armor.

dat comic book science.
Its the natural progression, surprised it took this long. I think its kinda cool. Kinda like a sciency Colossus+Superman in terms of powers.

I really, really, want to see that in the movies.
Maybe he's their last, best hope for peace.
Agreed. Iron Man doesn't need a big power boost. Yes he should always get better cuz tech gets better but I prefer that he never beats characters like Thor or Hulk physically (although it's entertaining when he tries). He can beat them when he outsmarts them though. Overpowered heroes are hard to write good stories for consistently.
I'm really glad I don't read Iron Man books right now, that armor is ridiculous.

I'm a bit torn on the Extremis stuff making it into the movies - it's definitely the natural progression of things, but it's a little too advanced compared to the almost-believable tech the movies have presented so far. At the same time though, I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of other directions IM3 can take that won't just be rehash of the previous movies.

See people? This is why Spider-Man and Black Panther are better than everyone else.
Because Spider-Man proved nothing could go wrote three movies deep into a universe :-.

Awesome.
My daughter got the Helicarrier and Cap's motorcycle sets for her 8th birthday.
I got the Quinjet set for my 41st.
Well IM3 will be about Extremis and most likely not Bleeding edge. They'll probably just go with the idea that the new armour can be carried with him at all times as it's main benefit.

Marvel: "Make sure the Hulk figure has big enough hands to hold full sized bricks"
LEGO: "Why"
Marvel: "Trust us..."
Yeah, and I can see why. They've done the "How will he get his armor?" bit twice now, once in IM 2 with the suitcase, and then in avengers with the Mark VII.
As long as he doesn't turn into Superman, it will hopefully work out. That Bleeding Edge stuff is ridiculous.
I'm sort of assuming (hoping) that Extremis will be expressed in the movie in terms of enhancing his cognitive abilities and becoming able to interface directly with the armor, but still need to "put it on," though he wouldn't need anything like the bracelets to get the Mark VII to him accurately. The effect of having anything substantial come out of his body to form the armor would be so, so difficult to translate to the screen and maintain suspension of disbelief.

At least movie Iron Man doesn't wear the under armor and that's the least believable part of Extremis.
I think that will be addressed in IM3. Just to question why he'll still wear a mini arc reactor in his chest or something.
Wait, why wouldn't he still need this?
Has this been posted yet? Excellent article covering all the visual effects stuff that went into this. Long read, but there's some links to previously posted podcasts and stuff as well. Plus pics of course;

If the shrapnel is gone, he wouldn't need the arc reaction and magnet (or whatever) to keep himself alive. It's still a power source for his suit but he wouldn't need to carry it around in a hole in his chest.

Well, hello there new wallpaper.
To be correct, Marvel Studios has simply carried on the tradition.

Was it Spider-man that started it?
I don't remember him in Xmen. In Spider-man he pulled this women away from falling wreckage during the Macy Gray concert.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Do you ignore my posts or something, I posted that link as soon as it went up as well as when it got updated. ;P
It's an old tradition, as well. Both Lee and Jack Kirby had cameos in the 70s Hulk TV show.
Mark Ruffalo smirking in a plain calm tone of voice explaining he is always angry, turning into the hulk on command and than taking orders from captain america and comprehending what people are saying to him.....what is going on? Okay lets go kill black widow during one scene, than later on completely take sides and control your commands.
Nice black sabbath thermal Robert Downey Jr.
Captain America you are played by Jake Wyler from Not Another Teen Movie. End of discussion. Quit acting. You suck. I cannot and will not ever take you serious. Your lines were terrible. Your a face with a build, that is all.
Black Widow, your purpose is........?
Does anyone even get close to injured on The Avengers squad? What a terrible villain and plot. I cannot believe this has a 93% on RT. RT has become a complete joke.
This movie sucked hardcore guys. It was just to simple. 12 people tops have actual lines in the movie.
Robin from How I Met Your Mother was looking soooo sexy though.

It took me one whole second, an entire second to realize that a voluntary transformation would result in Banner having more control over his actions when Hulking out.
This is what they intended, accept it or not.
I saw a bunch of your older links but not to this specific piece. Not sure if you noticed but this thread moves a dozen pages a day so it's kind of hard to keep up on every link.
Sorry!Also, if any of you are like me you've been sleeping at night with the question "is hulk innie or outie" on the mind. I finally have the answer;
