What is shrapnel in iron man




















This is one of the reasons that Tony is so careful with the details of the technology, and refuses to make it readily available, even though it could potentially provide the world with a sustainable source of clean energy.

His fear is that others would use his technology to create immensely powerful explosives, and he has gone to extreme lengths to prevent others from getting their hands on it. Despite his great secrecy, and even his inclusion of a fail-safe that allows him to remote-detonate his suits if they are captured, many are still worried that the arc reactor would fall into the wrong hands.

Realizing that he had to do more to protect the world from his own tech, Stark approached Danny Rand Iron Fist for help. The two worked on the reactor, and made several modifications that prevent it from ever being used as a bomb. Although Tony no longer needs his mini arc reactor to survive in the MCU , we can still see its signature blue glow in the center of his chest when he is suited up as Iron Man.

He also uses repulsor tech nodes another name for the arc reactor to power many of his other gadgets, including his Repulsor Car. We saw this in the movies, when Tony is shown charging his suit using a truck battery, but he could theoretically use any power source. If their design works, it would be enough to power , homes — which is even better than a single super suit. Unsurprisingly, multiple other Marvel characters have attempted to recreate both the arc reactor, but all attempts so far have failed.

He built his own suit becoming the Iron Monger , but was incapable of replicating the repulsor node technology that Tony Stark held. Despite the fact that Tony is incredibly protective over his technology, he has allowed others to make use of it — just not to know how it works.

As well as Pepper Potts, he has created a range of suits, including several worn by other characters. In the MCU, he encourages people to look to the arc reactors as the energy source of the future, although presumably the details of the device would remain a secret, even if every city was powered by them.

There are obviously plenty of stunningly cool special effects in the Iron Man and Avengers franchise. Giant battles with aliens! Armor that builds itself onto his body! The majority of these effects come to us courtesy of the magic of CGI, but quite a few of the amazing things we have seen on screen make use of good-old-fashioned practical effects.

After returning home, he's developed a new, much more powerful and generally better version of the arc reactor that he first built in the cave in Afghanistan, and he needs her help to install it. This was filmed using a prosthetic chest - the fake was created with the hole for the reactor, and Robert Downey Jr was sitting in the seat at a completely different angle.

The fake chest then appeared to be his own when lying down. A bright light was shone on the area to create shadows that would hide any obvious edges from the viewer and it worked! Did the surgery scene from Iron Man fool you too?

Let us know in the comments. Rose Graceling-Moore has been writing about film, TV and comics since , when she began writing for a local print magazine in Vancouver, BC. And in the real world, too, mechanical hearts offer people a new lease on life — but they have serious problems.

That's because so many people have heart disease. The World Heart Federation estimates that 17 million deaths around the globe are caused by cardiovascular disease. Surgically implanted mechanical pumps were first designed to be bridge to an eventual heart transplant. But now, ventricular assist devices are seen as equal to a real human heart replacement.

Compared with transplants, these devices offer similar survival rates. But they carry risks, like a higher risk of extreme internal bleeding as a result of the implant. The devices are slowly improving, however. The short answer is no, probably not, but that doesn't put off some comics fans from dreaming. In a Quora post, a hydraulics engineer named Ryan Clarke went in deep on the imagined technical specifics of the mini Arc Reactor. So maybe we really need to believe that the shrapnel can truly not be removed, else Tony will die.

Well, with all this sci-fy and technology stuff, why not also believe that they would have the technology to fix Tony Stark all up when he is back in the US? Say some kind way to diffuse his blood or some other fantastic surgery to remove all the shrapnel. Very true. To which I would answer:.

The chest piece also serves a purpose for the story and character. It's part of the drama that if our hero doesn't have it in place, he will die. It's a physical weakness. And who's to say that Tony doesn't want someone operating on him, when he's unconscious and vulnerable, who could then simply steal his arc reactor technology? In the screenshot above, Tony is having Ms.

Potts change out his chest piece in his own lab, not a doctor in a hospital. Or even he's not the type that wants to be fixed or cured. He is a genius, superhero, playboy billionaire with narcissistic tendencies. He may not be like us in thinking of simply getting it fixed. Considering that other people trying to get their hands on the arc reactor is a major plot point in the first film Mr.

Stark here might not be too keen on being unconscious with one on offer. Not that the other avengers couldn't guard him or something but again they did make an entire film about his trust issues. This did actually annoy me, I'm told in the comics it's also a pacemaker type device that is actually referred to as powering his heart, i. Rearranging organs would be no issue though, he was probably missing a bit of lung from the injuries anyway, even if not, think about when they crack the chest for heart surgery, if you put something solid in to keep the ribs apart there's loads of room.

I'd be more worried the long term effects of having metal inside the body, not just the palladium but the canister too. As Iron Man 3 points out, he just wants it to be part of him. He likes the feeling part of Iron Man is parted on him. Hmm leaving shrapnel there also serves good reason, rather just plainly planted - instead there's some "destiny" sense of purpose. There's also another purpose to remind himself of his savior and "creator", his reason becoming Iron Man.

Surely that makes a good drama line, ended nicely by cleaning it out. Now IRON MAN 3 has been released, we can see that part of him apparently didn't want to, as there was no technical reason preventing him. In order to fit the arc into Tony's chest, it is most likely that he either had a few ribs, or simply just parts of a few ribs taken out.

After finally healing from having his arc removed, Tony would have a vulnerable spot above his heart where his ribs used to be. Also, seeing as the shrapnel is moving through Tony's veins in order to get to his heart, someone would have to cut open his veins to remove the tiny pieces of metal, somehow keep Tony from bleeding out, and would then have to sew his veins shut without blocking them off.

I'm sure that there are more problems than these, but seeing as for the past week or so, I have kept up a schedule that would make even Tony Stark proud. However, I am not a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, my brain just isn't currently functioning at full capacity Actually in the comics he does have a heart transplant, right before he got 'Happy' Hogan in Tales of Suspense 45 in September
