Stand aside, Tony Stark. There's a new Iron Man in town.
Reddit user iltl64, motivated to make an impressive Iron Man costume for Halloween, created a homemade, wearable arc reactor using household items.

Using an empty can of tuna, LED lights, cardboard, an old Samsung battery and some good, old-fashioned glue, the user put together an impressive replica of Tony Stark's energy source.
"It looks like garbage on its own but looks great under a shirt," the user wrote on his Imgur post. "It will glow all night; I've never timed to see how long until it dies but I've worn it for 5 or 6 hours and it was still bright."
The user said the build itself took between four and five hours, and while it probably doesn't recharge an iron suit -- it looks amazing under a t-shirt.
We're sure Stark Industries could use a guy like him.
