Iron Man (2008)
- −100: graduated summa cum laude at 17
BIG NO-NO. Movies always do this! MIT does not do summa/magma/whatever cum laudes. Sorry, there is no possible way to be "top of your class". Though, you can say that they did exceedingly well by getting letters in every class they took -- those letters are written by the professors to the top 1 or 2 students. - +1: Miss Potts mentions commencement in June
Yes. - +1: Stark wears an MIT shirt sitting in front of his computer
The typeface looks right, though Coop sweatshirts are not usually stylishly deconstructed like that. - +10000000: Stark and his best bud wear a brass rat
Caught a beaver on top and the dome on one of the sides, best bud wore it on left ring finger. Didn't catch if the beaver was up or down.
