Wang Kang became an internet sensation in China after photos of him clad in the impressive outfit appeared on the country's version of Twitter.
The 25-year-old came up with the idea after seeing the 2008 blockbuster Iron Man starring Robert Downey Junior.
He made the costume in the living room of his rented apartment in Shanghai, before suiting up and heading to work in the eastern city.
He was initially stopped by security guards, but once he proved he was an employee he was allowed him in to his company's building.
Wang then paraded through the office's corridors to the surprise of co-workers.
He said: "No colleagues knew my mission, and some of them froze there in seeing me approach. Some were even screaming for being scared."
Wang said the suit, which weighs 50kg and takes ten minutes to put on, cost him about £280 to make.
He added the costume, made mainly of high density foam, wires and tubes, has proven to be a success, with his bosses praising him and women falling in love with him.
