Hasta La Gadget!

Who would win in a fight between Luke Skywalker and Wolverine*? If you have an answer at the ready with a needlessly articulate argument to back it up, you’ve probably got quite a Halloween costume lined up. If that costume happens to be star of this year’s early-summer eponymous sequel, Iron Man, you might want to click on over to instructables where you can find several DIY Arc Reactors that no Iron Man costume would be complete without.

Some are ridiculously intricate and complicated. Some are more approachable for those without engineering degrees. You can even purchase a DIY kit to get started on yours with all the parts included. But I’m of the opinion, if you want to stay true to the costume, you have to lock yourself down in your basement or garage and make one for yourself.

Take a look at one simple video walk-through after the jump.

* the answer is Luke Skywalker because he could use The Force to pin Wolverine down and then slice him up with his lightsaber–if it can cut through the space metals on the Death Star, it can surely make butter of Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton. Even if it couldn’t, enough damage could be inflicted on Wolverine’s fleshy parts that he would not be able to recover.
