  • Resumen
    • Chemical evidence is provided to illuminate the innovative armour and marvellous prowess of Iron Man as described in the Marvel comic-book and cinematic universe. Taking a critical-but-fun look at the ‘Crimson Dynamo’, rational explanations as well as tangential facts are provided to describe the lifestyle, aesthetic choices and teammate collaborations documented in movies and graphic novels about this superhero. In the hope of inspiring students to examine the properties of superheroes through a chemical perspective, the chemistry of iron behind his astonishing tales is distilled to discern fiction from fact and inspire the comic-book fan with chemistry enthusiasm. Ultimately, with a pedagogic intent, a teaching assignment is described in which students employ chemistry concepts to characterise their own superhero creations.
