HTC needed a superhero after announcing its fledgling quarterly earnings.
It looks like they found one in the form of Robert Downey Jr., best known for his role in Iron Man.

HTC's newest ad, above, depicts a hilariously stone-faced Downey breathing fresh air into HTC's headquarters by suggesting alternative meanings for the letters "HTC," such as "Humongous Tin-foil Catamaran" or "Hipster Troll Carwash."
The message behind the humorous ad is "HTC: It's anything you want it to be," which associates the Taiwanese tech company with boundless possibilities and creativity.
Although the ad never specifically mentions any phone or HTC product, Downey's endorsement seems to focus more on HTC's philosophy as a whole.
