Marvel unveiled Tony Stark’s new signature armor for the upcoming movie Iron Man 3 at the San Diego Comic-Con, and it has more gold – caramel? – than crimson. It looks like he’s molting into a golden butterfly. An alcoholic genius billionaire butterfly with jet boots.
Here’s more of the images. I hear they were taken by a new villain, Off-Center Photography Man.
Wired also shot a small clip of the armor on their site. In other news, Marvel held an Iron Man costume contest for kids at the Comic-Con. The winner? Iron Man.

What could be the king of all gaming mouses (or is that mice?) has arrived: TT eSports’ Black Element Cyclone Mouse. It’s sleek, it looks hella awesome – and get this: it’s got a fan and a customizable weight, too!
It might look strange at first, with the miniature 6,000 RPM fan positioned right at the very front. But once it dries the sweat off of your palms, then I doubt you’d have anything to complain about at that point.
Turn it over and then you’ll see that the mouse has weights that you can add or remove, depending on how much heft you’d like it to have. You know, so it moves just right, along with your movements.
The mouse offers a super-precise 6500DPI laser sensor, and switches rated at up to 5 million strokes. They’ll be available in 5 color schemes, and are coated with a rubber finish for optimal grip. You’ll also find 9 customizable macro keys, and on-board storage for up to 5 profiles per key. Now this is a serious mouse for a serious gamer. No final announcement on the price for the Black Element Cyclone yet, although it’s probably going to range from $100 to $130.
