5. The Seek Thermal XR Camera
Iron Man and Batman have super advanced visors that allow them to attain thermal or night vision. Now it’s pretty impractical to wear thermal goggles at all times, but luckily there is a company that sells small thermal sensors that you can attach to your smartphone. It’s called the Seek Thermal XR and it costs $299 dollars. You simply attach it to the bottom of your phone, launch the app, and then you can see thermal readouts from great distances.

4. Kangoo Jumps
Kangoo Jumps are pretty self-explanatory. For $250 these “work out” shoes can help you jump a little bit higher, however the primarily reduce impact from falling. They allow you to run longer and faster, without expending additional energy. So with these you can jump higher, jump off things, and run faster but they won’t make you the Flash.

3. The Garrison Bespoke Bulletproof Suit
In Marvel’s Daredevil, that was recently released on Netflix, we see the main villain use a bulletproof suit. Well as it turns out, these things are real. Garrison Bespoke can make you one and it includes carbon nanotubes and Kevlar to stop bullets. It’s pretty heavy to wear, but it’s also really cool.

2. The Pyro Fireshooter
Worn under the wrist, the Pyro Fireshooter is a small device that obviously shoots fire. The device will run you about $175 bucks and it can fire four balls of flame before it needs to be refueled. While we can’t shoot webs from our wrists, at least we can ignite our enemies (don’t do that).

1. The Kuratas Robot Suit
The Kuratas Robot is about the closest thing to Iron Mans suit that we have. From Japan (where else), this is a fully-functional mech suit that you can pilot. It costs $1.3 million dollars and it stands at a towering 12-feet in height. You can drive around in it and operate the arms and what not. If you’ve ever wanted a robot suit, this is for you.
