This 7-year-old boy, Alex, loves superheroes and riding his bike. Unfortunately, he was born with a partially developed arm. When a college student and Iron man found out about this, they decided to do something incredible for this young boy.

Albert Manero is a college student who builds and donates low-cost, 3-D printed bionic limps to disabled kids all over the world. Robert and Albert teamed up to make Alex's day a memorable one. After getting support from people all over , including a leading specialist in bionic arms, they made something incredible happen. Robert Downey Jr. waited in a hotel room for Alex to show up before giving him an ultimate surprise.

After meeting one another, a box on the floor labeled "Stark Industries" had two special bionic arms, just like the one Iron man wears in the film. Alex was so excited to see that one of these were for him. Then him and Ironman debated on which one was better -- and of course Alex's was.
