sciency things about avengers

in the video it talks about the science behind iron man's suit, and captain america's shield, and super fast healing abilities by black widow. they say iron man's suit is probably made from nitinol. rather than actual iron or aluminum because those would make the suit too heavy. nitinol makes more sense because its lighter and strong. iron man's arc reactor in his chest relies on an element he created himself using a particle reactor, which is what a lot of scientists today do as well. in captain america's shield, it contains steel and an imaginary material called vibranium. it makes his shield quite strong and able to absorb shock. in both captain america and black widow they share quick healing abilities which could be connected to the white blood cell macrophage. their cells would work much faster than they do in regular humans.

I don't understand a lot of things in this video, I just summarized what was said in the video but I think it's really cool how all this science goes into the avengers movies rather than mostly made up stuff. its more realistic. it would be cool if some of these things could be made in real life too. I don't know much else about the avengers powers than what I've seen in the movie but now I think i'll read up about it.
