“The attraction of the Ironman (costume) is that I can keep my anonymity and still have an outlet in dance and storytelling,” the Prahran Ironman told The Herald Sun.
While waiting for the suit to arrive after ordering it, the talented dancer spent time toying with samples from the movie and creating a dance show revolving around the beloved movie star.
“The routine was originally a four-minute solo Ironman dance show, but then I met the Melbourne Transformers’ Optimus Prime and we decided to take on the challenge of bringing two unrelated characters together in a dance and make them interact.”
“This collaboration took place with a reworking and a few try outs at some friends kids’ parties, and they absolutely loved it.

While the internet sensation isn’t a professional dancer or aiming to make this a full-time career, he says the experience has been ‘very rewarding’ and ‘addictive’.
”The children have no filter. They show their emotion and excitement whole heatedly and that is the biggest reward.”
Fellow ‘superhero’ Optimus Prime said they loved seeing the smile on children’s faces.
“We have had such a positive response. It’s been very overwhelming,” he told Channel 9’s Today Show.
Unfortunately there isn’t any plans for adding more superheros to the clan at this stage, due to other work commitments, but the Prahran Ironman encourages more people to get involved in helping out their community.
“Anyone can be a super hero by doing something good for someone else.
“If we can get some of this philosophy out there, then the local community can only benefit.”
