Video of inventor's functional Iron Man suit goes viral; internet is in love with invention

All of us have loved the character of Iron Man aka Tony Stark from the Marvel comics and movies. For most of us, showing our appreciation for the character could be buying some Iron Man merchandise or re-watching the MCU movies. Very few will go to the extent of creating a suit like the superhero. But this is just what Richard Browning did. A video circulating on social media shows the Gravity Industries founder showing off his self-made functional Iron Man suit. The clip shows Browning successfully testing his Iron Man suit and hovering about the ground. The video was shared by a Twitter user named How Things Work with the caption, “This father constructed a functional Iron Man suit in his backyard and this was his first display in public”. Watch:

The post prompted a variety of reactions, with several people correcting the user about the identity of the man in the video.

That's Richard Browning, Founder of Gravity Industries, not some random dad lol It wasn't built in anyone's back yard but in a factoryhttps://t.co/yUJyTwX08x

“Looks like Richard Browning from gravity industries and it’s not the first time he displayed in public! He’s been doing it for years! I saw him flying it in 2018 and it had been around for a few years at that time! Doesn’t take away it’s very cool but doesn’t justify the title”, commented one person.
