This is just outstanding on so many levels.

From CNN:

Robert Downey Jr. may be Iron Man in the popular Marvel superhero films, but he recently dealt in some advanced bionic technology himself.

 

Downey recently presented a robotic arm to young Alex Pring, a Central Florida boy who is missing his right arm from just above his elbow. The arm was made by Limbitless Solutions, a volunteer group started by Albert Manero, a University of Central Florida engineering PhD student, to make free bionic arms for kids.

 

Through 3-D printing technology, Alex and others have had the chance to get a robotic arm so they can use their limbs again. Alex received his robotic arm in the summer, then later had it upgraded to resemble a "Transformers" arm.

This past Saturday, Alex received an even more impressive gift, from "Tony Stark" himself. Downey met with Alex in an Atlanta hotel room.

 

I love the part where Alex is asked if he knows who this person giving him the bionic arm is. Safe to say, he did.
