IP is something totally different and will have nothing to do with this movie.

Like I said, they play fast and loose with the canon. I asked a fanboy about Mandarin and he started talking about "powerful magic rings", and I said, "Okay, forget all your assumptions, because aside from the name the character in the film has nothing to do with the character you're describing."

Yeah, CP is where I get 90% of my media and breaking news updates, no joke. I was just wondering if there was a site that pooled it all because sometimes I overlook threads and such.

Yeah. To go with that:

Spoiler!

I'm not too knowledgeable about Iron Man comics, but I thought Extremis was the name of Tony's armor that was somehow infused with his brain. He could call the suit from wherever with just a thought or something.. In the movie, though, extremis is the name of the shit the Mandarin injected himself with to get those weird super powers.

What were their superpowers anyway? They could melt shit? Super strong? Explode then recompose themselves?

Kinda weird to me. What did you think about super-powered Pepper, JD?

Extremis in the comics is actually pretty similar to how it was depicted in the movie. It's a nanotech thing that rewires your brain and DNA to cause your body to rebuild itself according to a programmable plan. It can be used to give people superpowers, or to heal a disease (and I think it's pretty strongly implied in the movie that Killian used Extremis to make himself taller and better looking, and fix his legs). If I remember correctly there was only one guy in the comic with Extremis powers, and they were fairly similar to the movie (strength, healing, fire-breathing). But Tony programs Extremis to rebuild his body to be integrated with the suit, basically becoming a cyborg.

It's the sexiest Gwyneth's ever looked, LOL. Pissed off look, flaming red eyes, hot MILF exposed midsection, sports bra, superstrong... Bet she'd be great in the sack.

That fanboy sux,. In the comics, the rings aren't magic. They are tech from a crashed alien ship.
