In Jon Favreau’s 2010 movie “Iron Man 2,” the titular hero (Robert Downey, Jr.) a.ok.a. Tony Stark, attends a press convention about his rocket-powered go well with of armor, hyping the truth that he has been utilizing it to destroy all of the weapons that his firm had manufactured. On the press convention, Tony, a flippant and humorous fellow, mentioned that he was usually requested how one goes to the toilet whereas carrying Iron Man armor. He pauses for a second, after which a glance of reduction crosses his face. “Similar to that,” he says. We are able to debate whether or not or not he was truly defecating on stage within the second.

If he was, nevertheless, that may imply the go well with is supplied with some form of waste vacuole. It is a high-tech go well with, so it is totally attainable that it has the means to gather Tony Stark’s feces and both retailer it for disposal at a later time, or vaporize it totally. One would additionally assume the go well with has a cleansing ingredient that retains Tony’s rump spotless — a high-tech miniature bidet, maybe.
In fact, if that was the case, Tony must enter the Iron Man go well with bare, which can solely generally be the case. All through all the flicks within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony is seen donning his go well with of armor absolutely clothed, generally even carrying an costly tuxedo and designer footwear. Later within the movie collection, Tony reconstructs his go well with to be product of a fantastical nanotechnology that permits the go well with to seep over him like a liquid and solidify into armor. With that tech in place, maybe the rear finish panel can open and permit Tony to evacuate into a bathroom as common. However then, are his underwear additionally nanotech? How usually is he bare in there?

In fact, “Thunderbolts*” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus already settled this debate. She was proven a clip from an previous “Seinfeld” episode at a latest press junket, witnessing a scene whereby Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) and George (Jason Alexander) debate whether or not or not Iron Man wore underwear. Louis-Dreyfus was fast to quell the matter: In fact he does.
How usually is Iron Man bare inside his armor?
In “Seinfeld” episode “The Voice” (October 2, 1997), Jerry and George deliver up one of the crucial meaningless debates in Marvel Comics historical past: Is Iron Man bare inside his go well with? “Seinfeld” normally caught near debates about Superman (Seinfeld himself is a fan of the character), so the Iron Man debate stood out. “Seinfeld” writers infrequently involved themselves with Marvel Comics characters. In fact, the talk is extraordinarily dumb, as a result of Iron Man’s nudity is irrelevant to the drama of his comics. Whether or not he is bare or not, he can nonetheless rocket into house and battle aliens on a whim.

However the debate has raged on wherever nerds collect and wherever weed is being consumed. It could require an precise Marvel authority to settle issues as soon as and for all. Fortunately, Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared on each “Seinfeld” and within the MCU. Within the latter, she performs Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, a scruples-free company head who appeared in “Black Widow,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Endlessly,” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and, most lately, in “Thunderbolts*.” Along with her Marvel imprimatur, she was in a position to get Iron Man correctly dressed. When requested if Tony Stark wore lingerie, she mentioned plainly:
“100% he is received underwear on. Who’re we kidding? How might he not?”
And that is that. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine mentioned so. Tony Stark can’t defecate in his armor except he’s additionally defecating in his underwear. Which I suppose is feasible, but it surely’s a little bit gross. Maybe Iron Man will make clear the matter himself when the character is inevitably introduced again to the MCU. Within the meantime, Downey is slated to look as Physician Doom in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday,” due in theaters on Might 1, 2026.
