7 COOLEST WEAPONS & GEAR CREATED BY STARK INDUSTRIES

Stark Industries has been a pioneer in the Marvel universe when it comes to innovative technology. Once highly-focused on developing technologies for use by the U. S. military, the company is also involved in robotics, aeronautics, and micro-technology.
Here are just 7 of the coolest weapons they’ ve had a hand in designing:
BY: ALICIA PEARCE
SUPER SOLDIER SERUM Originally developed by Abraham Erskine, this chemical solution was first used by the U. S. military during WWII to enhance the body and mind of the troops, creating a highly advanced fighting force. The formula was thought to be lost until Howard Stark re-created the serum in the early 90s.
ARC REACTOR This well-known piece of Stark Industries technology is a unique power source. Used in miniature form as the chest piece of the Iron Man costume, the Arc Reactor produces clean energy and is intended to replace nuclear power sources using a brand new element that was synthesized by Tony Stark.
STARK SONIC CANNON This non-lethal, long-range acoustic weapon emits an extremely intense and focused field of sound waves to disable attackers. Ideal for crowd control or attacks on enemy armies, the Sonic Cannon proved its power when it was used to subdue a rampaging Hulk in The Incredible Hulk.
