Iron Man is real. And he’s Swiss.

The Jet Man, Yves Rossy, a former Swiss military pilot, designed and built a deployable 3-meter wing, holding kerosene fuel for 2 jet engines fixed to the tips and attached it to his back. Rossy launched from an airplane and flew for 4 minutes, traveling over 100 mph, landing by parachute.
You can find out a bit more over at Rossy’s website.
(Also: the first person to point out that Iron Man goes a lot faster than 100mph is going to be reminded that he’s currently portrayed as a boot-licking government toadie willing to sell out his friends. And that he’s completely not real at all.)
