Can there be an Iron man in reality?

He doesn't come to a complete stop, at least not in a second anyways.

That's just not physically possible. He came to a rapid deceleration which yes, would inflict massive G-forces upon the operator.

The illusion that he stopped so quickly came because the F-22's were moving so fast and they couldn't slow down and that the camera purposely followed the F-22's as they overshot to give the illusion that Ironman disappeared.

Alright...how would this Ironman suit prevent those massive G-Forces from squishing the operator?

Specially the limbs in one of those quick de-accelerations? I'd be afraid to loose my arms if I breaked like he did

I don't know, maybe that's why he built control surfaces into the thing?

The movie clearly states that the CPU takes in terabytes of flight information. This is also fiction. We need to keep in mind that the movie was designed to entertain.

They are getting closer than many of may imagine.

It's fantasy versus reality, and the spread is shrinking. The latter, the XOS, is the latest and arguably most advanced exoskeleton in existence, developed by one-man idea factory Steve Jacobsen and the engineers at Sarcos, a robotics company he started in 1983 that was recently purchased by the defense giant Raytheon. The flame-throwing monster? That's the star of the superhero blockbuster Iron Man, due out May 2. The film follows a prolific inventor named Tony Stark who builds a robotic suit of armor that grants him fantastical abilities. Iron Man has been thriving in comics for more than four decades, but this is Hollywood's first go at the story. And the timing couldn't be better. Not only is Iron Man—a hero born of pure engineering—the perfect idol for our gadget-obsessed era, but for the first time since the character appeared, the suit is more than just an illustrated dream.

So advanced it lacks a portable power supply!

The main problem with Exoskeletons as pictured in Ironman is the powersource, not really the strength ability or any of the other things.

The power-supply has always hindered many fantastical science-fiction ideas from becoming reality.

Theoretical Railguns, Space Travel, Theoretical Time Travel, powerful solid-state laser weaponry. The list goes on.

Excellent point.
As an example, the "tokamak" stark created in his cave suuposedly created 3 gigwatts of energy per second. Now according to FPL's website, Turkey Point Nuclear reactor creates

Generates about 1,400 million watts of electricity -- enough power to supply the annual needs of more than 450,000 homes
