I'm heartily impressed with this elaborate steampunk remake of several Iron Man action figures from Sillof's Workshop, home of many fine steampunk action figure mods. The bulletproof "prototype" suit (not pictured here) is especially tasty.

...Please, don't give Marvel any ideas.
There's another customizer out there who has done an assortment of Marvel heros in steampunk/Victorian fashion, though his name or his URL presently escape me and Google.
Heh, his helmet looks a little Dr. Doom-ish, which isn't a bad thing.
The Bulletproof suit you mention looks quite similar to the famous Australian icon Ned Kelly.
