Hey everyone,

I know that this isn't quite the right place to post this but I will anyway. Does any Iron man fan out there know how his repulsor rays work? Are they plasma discharges from the arc reactor? Or is it an electrical weapon? Can anyone give me ideas or explain how they might work?

Yes, they digitally edit the film to make a bright spot. They also digitally edit the film to remove the ropes that they use to pull whatever is being repulsed. That is how his repulsor rays work.
