Iron Man iPhone Case Has an Arc Reactor, Still Won’t Power Your Smartphone

Love your iPhone 5′s design? Well, then you probably hate how most cases make it look less attractive. Not this case. This Iron Man case makes your iPhone look even better as far as I’m concerned. It’s based on the Mark VII suit and yes that is a glowing, battery-powered arc reactor there in the middle.

As if that wasn’t cool enough, there’s also a little piece of armor that slides aside to reveal the camera lens.

You can pre-order it now and it will be available in April. It’s only $49(USD) from Brando. While it might not protect you from an attack by Whiplash or The Mandarin, it is the cheapest Iron Man suit you can buy.

Iron Man Repulsor Desk Lamp: Stark out of the Dark

Tony Stark has an arsenal of toys and armor that even Bruce Wayne would be envious of. But he doesn’t have a cool desk lamp – that is, until now.

I know not from whence this awesome Iron Man Repulsor desk lamp originated, but Marvel needs to steal this idea now and put it into production in time for the release of Iron Man 3 this summer.

Captain Americake (and the Cakevengers)

Fans of Captain America will immediately recognize the superhero in this photo as he pops his head out of this deliciously geeky cake. Though his projectile-shaped head reminds me a little bit of Bullet Bill from the Mario games.

But Captain America isn’t the only baked Avenger in this room. No, sirree. Iron Man, Hulk and Thor are ready to be devoured by the masses as well. These whimsical Avengers cakes were posted (and made?) by CakeCentral contributor Vera76 and were made for one very lucky child’s birthday party. Why didn’t my parents ever make me stuff like this when I was growing up?

Avengers, Assemble in my stomach now!

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s… Super-Kia!

Sure, Superman can leap tall buildings in a single bound and fly all over the place, but as Clark Kent, he still needs to drive in order to blend in. What do you think he drives? Apparently, it’s a Kia.

After showing off a round of superhero cars last Fall, DC Comics and KIA teamed up to make this Superman Optima Hybrid for the We Can Be Heroes charity. It was recently shown off at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. This super KIA features a grille that resembles Superman’s belt, a paint job that matches the big blue Boy Scout’s costume, along with red wheels and trim and trunk that mimic his cape.

The interior is even better, with Superman emblems on the electric blue seats and steering wheel. If Clark is going to drive this, he is going to give his secret away though. Brake. Brake before Zod!

The biggest addition in this DLC is the ability for you to have your own lair and hideout. The lair will be able to host Lair PvP battles and has a mainframe computer that will give players access to new customizations and combat abilities that can be used in Metropolis or Gotham City. The hideout is a lesser version of a lair that lacks some of its capabilities.

The DLC also adds new missions at four locations giving a total of 10 new missions to complete. The content is available as a free download for Legendary members for $9.99(USD) for free and Premium players. You can download the content pack right now for the PC or PS3.

How can you not like Domo-Kun? He’s the cutest little monster we know. And now, he’s been reincarnated in a variety of superhero and supervillain egos thanks to the guys at Funko.

This series of 2.5″ tall Domo/DC Comics figures are quite possibly the best vinyl desk toys I’ve ever seen, and I must have them all. They were recently revealed by Funko, and will be hitting shops at the end of February. The series includes multiple versions of Batman, a couple of Robins, Clark Kent and Superman, as well as The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Shazam. On the evil side of the Justice League, you’ll get the Riddler and Two-Face.

You can preorder them now over at Entertainment Earth in either 4 packs, or a complete display case. There’s also a line of larger POP! Heroes coming out at the same time, but I don’t think they’re as cute.

Justice League of America Defaced Bills: in Good We Trust

In the comics, the bad guys are always pretty obvious. In the real world, they look just like you and I. In the real world they run banks and pull scams on Wall Street. They work in our government. They get rich at the expense of others as they grow fat and laugh, while people starve on the street. Their name is greed and they are the vilest form of scum and villainy you will find. We need the Justice League to save our economy!
justice league
The team is on it thanks to artist Aslan Malik from Berlin, Germany. He put these cool ‘legal’ notes together to fight economic injustice in the world. There is Hamilton as Batman, Jackson as Wonder Woman, Ben Franklin as the Green Lantern, Lincoln as the Flash and Ulysses S. Grant as Superman.

He did a great job on these. If real money was this cool, people would still be spending cash instead of using their debit cards.

Iron Man Arc Reactor Marriage Proposal Device for When an Iron Man Meets an Iron Woman

You see, when two nerds love each other very much, they sometimes make each other things. Things like this Iron Man arc reactor marriage proposal device that Eddie Zarick created.
stark heart
This is a nice nerdy way to say I love you. Besides, his girlfriend is always calling him Tony Stark anyway since he is involved in a ton of projects. So he figured he would make a Arc Reactor Heart with an engagement ring inside. The thing lights up, and when a button is pushed, the LEDs animate in colors, and the ring rises from the center to impress even the most iron-hearted of iron women. Here, check it out:

Impressive, Eddie, very impressive indeed.

Flying Superman: Best R/C Plane Ever?

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s the geekiest R/C plane ever! You will believe a man can fly. This awesome Superman R/C plane makes if feel like Metropolis and makes observers do a double-take, wherever it flies.

superman rcAre they filming the new Superman movie with super cheap effects? Nah. Apparently a couple of guys were biking down the Pacific Coast Highway when all the sudden they see Superman fly by. WTF? Well, after some investigation, they caught up with the owner and shot some footage so that we all can see the awesomeness of this R/C plane.

Presumably, it’s one of these, just painted and caped up to look like the Man of Steel. I wish I had one, but I would just crash it on the first flight.
