What would happen if you built a real iron man suit?

I've wondered about this since watching the first movie and seeing the airforce attack him. I asked a pilot once what would happen if someone (for the sake of argument) just appeared in the sky for a joyride in a fully functional, flying iron man suit? He said that most likely the military wouldn't shoot it down because it wasn't posing any direct threat, but that the FAA would be extremely interested in talking to me once I landed, if they could track down where, and whom I was.

what are your thoughts? ive heard a variety of ideas. the government would steal it- big corporations would try to buy it-foreign governments would spy on the inventor- etc.

so what do you think would happen, if someone built an iron man suit and decided the best way to reveal their invention was to just go on a public joyride over their local city? im sure it would be on the national news by nightfall at the very least.

    Well it's tech and if Iron Man was real, greedy people would want the tech. Even if it was legal for the creator to have it, rich greedy people would constantly find ways to get a hold of it. Hiring thieves or bad guys or whatever. Or even trying to find legal loopholes into making Stark have to give it up, as seen in the Iron Man movies.

    In any case, real life tech just isn't that far. The technology to even make a basic suit.. It would require a lot of energy and tech just to make a functional suit. I'd say it would be somewhat possible for a basic concept of one but there would be no Jarvis, no laser beams from the hands. Marvel Cinematic universe is pretty damn advanced in terms of tech.

    Well, it depends on what you want to use the armor for......good or evil. Either way, you would be receiving a lot more attention from the government, than liked.
