variety.com/2015/film/news/robert-downey-jr-gifts-bionic-iron-man-arm-to-7-year-old-fan-1201451880/Tony Stark may have found the world’s next Avenger. “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr. partnered with Limbitless Solutions, a volunteer engineering organization that produces 3D-printed arms, to deliver a unique gift to a 7-year-old fan, Alex. Alex, who was born with a partially developed arm, was greeted by Downey in full Stark persona. Alex had known he was meeting with a bionics expert but had no idea it would be one of his favorite superheroes. Downey sat down with Alex to open up shiny silver cases holding the prosthetics — with Alex’s new limb designed in “Iron Man” style. “I think yours might be better than mine,” Downey tells Alex as the two flexed fingers and fist bumped the robo-hands.
