What kind of science did Tony Spark use in Iron Man?

Question

I love science and became really interested in what he was doing in the movie. What kind of professions out there that are similar to what he was doing? What kind of degrees you would need or anything is appreciated.

Answer 1

Metallurgy for crafting, advanced electronics for the computer system and wiring, and a ton of weapons technology systems. Also aeronautics for flight, advanced communications technology that actually exists but would have to be built into it, a ton of work. Dude, Stark is one of the smartest characters in all of Marvel. If you like armor, look up blacksmithing.  Because Stark's computer system integration alone is millions of dollars and advanced far beyond our current capability. But also check out cyberdyne (real company, not the one from Terminator) for ideas. They make a cybernetic strength augmentation suit.
