To those who believe that the U.S. military is dumb enough to not have invested in this. Take a look into a company called Sarcos Inc. There is a good article on Dailytech.com, just type "Iron Man" into the search. According to the article the U.S. army started exoskeleton research as early as 1995... By the way who cares if Tony Stark/s is being correctly used.

Real life tony stark(s) plural. This article is in reference to people (plural) using robotic enchancements. It does not mention a single person. Don't criticize something if you are an idiot. Good article

Very cool.

Michael, the title of the piece refers to more than one real-life Tony Stark.

Tony Starks – plural, with an S.

Hey people,

Ya, you guys pointing out CNN's "grammatical issues"...

They are saying "Real life Tony Starks" just as you might say, in reference to a group of people who share the same name, "Real life Joe Smiths". As in, there is at least one Joe Smith, but we are referring to all potential Joe Smiths out there. There is no apostrophe, because it is not a possessive case.

Did no one pass high school grammar?

Starks is a plural, chuckleheads (that's plural too...). The headline refers to "Starks" as in many of them...

Seriously, none of you have any idea what you're talking about and you obviously lack the ability to identify. When they wrote "Real-life Tony Starks" they meant multiple Tony's.
