Iron Man might be a real thing, if the USAF has anything to say about it. MacDill AFB in Tampa, FL currently has over 2 dozen people working on TALOS, or Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit. It is being tauted as an honest to goodness "Iron Man Suit", even by the U.S. Defense Dept.
This suit will be a major upgrade for Special Forces, Green Berets, Navy SEALS, and more as currently they carry on average 90 ounds of gear, with only 20% armored protection. This suit, which will be designed with 100% coverage in mind, will actually be lighter than their current gear, thanks to gears and actualizers.
There are many companies working on similar "Iron Man" projects, including Revision Military, which already has a working prototype.
