I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

I always think its funny how bullets never seem to penetrate anything in movies. Like, guy hiding behind a barrel? Nope, cant penetrate, even with a rifle. The newest Batman movie had me shaking my head as he shrugged off multiple rifle rounds to his armor.

Bullets are insanely dangerous and powerful. A .223 round can penetrate a solid brick wall pretty easily, and can destroy a cinderblock wall with some effort. Even if it doesnt penetrate, the amount of force applied is incredible. Plates designed to stop bullets have to be made in specific ways to make sure a bullet doesn't penetrate, but even with that plate, the sheer force of an impact can break bones.

Okay, so if we are going to give batman flack for having super-alloys, where do we stand on Tony Stark putting a reactor in his chest with no concernable heat sink. (He wears it without the suit)

Simple, stark is a semi latent technomancer. His arc reactors might actually work, but the mini ones don't. They are effectively conductors for magic. They turn magic into electricity with zero heat output. This also explains the suits momentum damping capabilities, and why they can't be copied easily.

Simple, Stark is an Ork. His belief in his suit is all that's required. And note, it's red, so it goes dakka fast.

The ork waaaaaagh requires enough orks to function. It's sort of an average belief. Even the warpheads (their psykers) just channel the collective waaaaaagh energy.

What do you think the effective power generation and heat production is for whatever that reactor is producing, when not in a suit?

If memory serves correctly, the entire outer shell is a round metal cylinder, so that's a fairly large surface area to transfer heat to the body. Tony might not need winter clothes if he's got a portable heater in the chest.

Well since it's on a small scale, maybe 500 million gallons of water per year might cool it off. So we are definitely in a skin melting blood boiling and non breathable hot air situation rising towards his face. -mostlu joking, I haven't done enough math to back up these claims, but it very much seems like it would be so.

You can't really dial down output from it, so I always assumed the one in his chest also has the energy to power all of the suit features.
