I am guessing that you are taking about a real one. I don't recall what alloy was used to make it in the movie, but my guess is that a different alloy would have to be used, because of one reason or another(Like cost/the alloy being real). The other thing that is stoping it is the fact the the power that it could make and that it needed and the space that the movie power unit took up is not real. A power plant that small could not make the needed power, with the tec. that I know about. And my last question is flight. How is it that a power plant making electric energy can power a jet engine of some sort. Where is the fuel held. Sorry to take a downer look on this, but I don't think it could be made any time soon, but I am no expert.

Exactly like the one in the movie? No - we don't have that kind of power source or hand powered rockets that can lift that kind of weight (or countless other technologies that the suit possesses). Perhaps in the future, or with billions of dollars for research and development.

The state of the art at the moment as I understand it has all the working parts for an exoskeleton suit, but power and fuel are a big issues. There is no compact way to carry fuel and power the suit. What has currently been accomplished are hybrids with limited functions. The Japanese have created a suit that allows caregivers to carry large patients. The army has created an arm and leg device that allows soldiers to move very heavy ammo boxes very quickly. (It is attached to a truck.) Flying is not feasible.

Yes, but also sexist. This is the twenty-first century. It's only right that iron person suits be made.
