IRMan was a secret identity suit worn by Tony Stark in the Iron Man film franchise, before it was revealed to the public. In the films, IRMan saves the day when his friend Saminoi (aka Rhodey) is badly beaten by terrorists. He then uses his advanced technology to hook his head onto a nano-reactor and absorbs all the abilities of his most desired metal, Titanium. After absorbing the metal, he can go into cyberspace and send messages to whoever he needs to. He can shoot energy beams, hypnotize people, and can even cause objects to fall on their own accord. Though he gained some measure of psychological power by absorbing the titanium in his head, the suit did not give him any superhuman abilities.
