* Repulsor Missile – Using CO2 air pump can also launch a paper missile.
* Repulsor Sensor/Light – A magnetic switch sensor lights his repulsor hand light and fades out and in his glowing eyes. Arduino handles this effect.
* Arc Reactor – A LED night light from Costco embedded in his chest. [...]

It rocks to have a geeky dad! Check out the video clip here: Link – via Gizmodo

    You can do anything these days. All you need is LED lights to spruce up any boring old thing.
