"Now that Iron Man is here, it got us to thinking: Could we build our own Iron Man suit?"
Simple answer: No.
If an actual Iron Man suit was possible with current technology, the military would be using it already to fight terrorists in Iraq.

Gah... What a dumb question, I built one of those years ago. Every time you get one of these CGI glossed over movies come out you get all the arm chair geeks thinking then can build a suit, when really it just insults all of us real geeks who have had one for years!

You couldn't use a Tesla coil like that, even if you did manage to fit one on your arm that could kill a person quickly the sparks would just find the quickest route to earth, which would be back through you.
About a year and a half ago I was comissioned to 3D model an Iron Man suit. The client wanted me to turn the 3D models into templates that would then be printed and used to create a real life suit. It was a nice idea, but unfortunately the project was dropped. I did still get paid though, and now I have an Iron Man 3D model! Here's some renders
Instead of an actual Iron Man suit, if you took all those articles together.... what you'd be left with is a slow-free falling, 20 second flight, walking battery capable of benching 300lbs instead of 150, at a measly cost of half a million.
I made my own ironman suit, I called it "The Really Strong Suit Made of Iron for a Male"...it was cool then I sold it to the US Military Black Secret Squirrel Forces (US BSSF)...oops....damn....wasn't suppose to say anything
