The software engineer has also installed capabilities to fire in the robotic arm, although he doesn't use it.

Comic books and superhero movies are loaded with fascinating narratives and visual effects which are powered by captivating scifi concepts, but in this day and age its pretty evident that yesterday's science fiction may just be tomorrow's reality. Gone are the days when cosplay was the closest fans could get to being like their heroes with supernatural powers, since technology is now opening doors for human beings to fly using jet packs and to control robots from a distance.

Major electronics brands have also entered the fray to create wearables which allow people to lift heavy objects by boosting the strength of their spine, and robotic arms are also coming in handy at hospitals as well as manufacturing facilities in the Middle East. Following the tremendous success of the Marvel movie franchise driven by iconic characters that rely on science and tech to turn innovation into a superpower, a software engineer in Turkey has moved a step closer to developing his own Iron Man suit after completing work on a mechanical arm.

The smart gadget which is also capable of firing shots when pointed in the direction of an object, is controlled by a microchip that has been embedded under the skin of the inventor, who seeks to inspire young people just like Tony Stark encouraged his innovative instincts. The Istanbul-based YouTuber had first created a buzz online by assembling a semi-functional suit, and hopes to set an example for young people so that the country doesn't rely on imports for a smart future.

Chips being used by the engineer are common in other parts of the world, since they can be programmed for opening doors from a distance among other tasks, and have been used for the superhero suit so that people in Turkey become aware about them.

Considering the prowess of Turkey's defence sector in creation of autonomous combat drones, the invention of a superhero suit in the country isn't so surprising after all.
