How This Guy Makes Real-Life Marvel Gadgets | Obsessed | WIRED

Jake Laser engineers DIY superhero gadgets from his garage. Jake has a massive following on KZbin, bringing to life things we only thought could be fiction. Captain America's shield, Spider-Man's wall-climbing, and Iron Man's lasers are just a few examples of some of his biggest projects.

Finally. The spotlight he deserves. Dude has been grinding since day one. Big ups man.

[@jabs2054]

fr. been watching him for awhile and he's so underrated

[@443MoneyTrees]

Yes

[@YatsuRL]

@@jabs2054 nNot underrated at all lol, he's hella famous

[@Ryan_____________________]

Rip hacksmith #notmyironman

[@443MoneyTrees]

@@Ryan_____________________ doesn’t mean he can’t make other things.

[@cloidless]

The fact that his last name is Laser, just makes it a 100 times better

[@meliussui]

I never thought that would be his real last name I always thought that was just his channel name

[@shawnlim1194]

we livin in a simulation fr

[@cookiesncream25]

pew pew pew pew

[@nullistealth3641]

I was looking for this comment and it was the first

[@dinhothelab1632]

its like Usain Bolt

[@tommyleejones623]

So he’s the the guy who just said, “fine, I’ll do it myself.” We need more people like him.

[@senseofmindshow]

The idea that you should just build a prototype, test it, then build a better one (instead of sitting around and theorizing) is incredibly powerful. This guy has used that principle to literally build his dreams into reality.

[@NuggetGX]

@@mopwaters1994 this hits harder than when your mom jumped into the pool (spoiler alert, she caused a tsumami!) 🥶🥶

[@kyng_spade]

@@NuggetGX you wrong for that one 😂😂

[@austinhernandez2716]

Acting like theorizing and doing the math is a bad thing.

[@ClaudiusPunchinello]

It depends on resources. Skimping on the design stage can result in many more prototypes being required, which might result in running out of resources (including time) before the project can be "finished". Of course, you don't want to take too long with the design stage, as it also consumes resources. Design is also as important as the testing stage when it comes to safety.

[@MsKeylas]

@@austinhernandez2716 he didn''t meant math and theorizing is bad thing. But if its where it ends it IS a bad thing. In theory ANYTHING is possible with some imagination. But until you test it, It is just THEORY.

[@jdrummerdd]

been watching him for a couple years now, crazy to see the progression in quality of his builds. A great mix of stuff thats doable by enthusiasts but also can do things that feels impossible.

[@terrellprice3739]

Same here

[@bektigalan]

with minimum budget too

[@amolgupta6189]

Just wanna say that... "Get this man funding and he will do wonders for sure."

[@alphateam3326]

You should do this on the “hacksmith’s” since they do this as well

[@bhaskarjyoti]

He have achieved more alone than the "Hacksmiths" together.

[@Naviglio]

@@bhaskarjyoti they have made a mech and most of their projects are higher quality

I’ve been watching him for 6 years, so great seeing him finally get the recognition he deserves is so moving! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@jonesjonesz]

I've been watching this guy for a couple of years and its nice to finally see him get the spotlight he deserves

[@TheDanaYiShow]

I've been watching his videos for a while, and his engineering ability and the quality of his videos is absolutely amazing, awesome video!

[@user-ox2sp2qn2s]

He is so creative and clearly loves what he does. I like that he wants to inspire others to create too. Well done Jake!

[@coolpop_real]

Now imagine if he had an entire studio with helpers, and more money he could actually make a iron man suit

[@Magus_aw]

I really like his content, especially the Captain's shield and Spiderman suction where he climbed a building... that's really awesome 👌

[@NabhyaVIIAMehta]

Our dude is getting gamouse day by day

[@connernielsen]

I can't believe he got on this. He definitely deserves this.

[@imachickengirl]

yoo, do you like michael vey too lol?

[@Fincayra15]

I really like how he explains everything clearly and wants to share all of it. He seems emotionally healthy and kind. I’m feeling more hope and confidence about creating again.

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

Plus he explains it in a way that people who aren't engineers can understand what he is talking about and follow along

[@adamahmed6444]

If you are already a Jlaser fan before watching this you are a legend

[@Nohman333]

Yea

[@JoeMemes]

Laser is one of my favourite youtubers because seeing him create things are better than seeing those things created by him imo

[@lostboytnt1]

love this guys channel.. he pulls out stuff like hacksmith industries without an entire warehouse, and huge staff.

[@lostboytnt1]

@@doggypower1 of course, everybody starts out somewhere. He's on his way to hacksmith level tho.

[@VKSgtSLaughter]

Truly an inspiration and hero to young inventors everywhere 👍

[@TJUC123]

I’m honestly in love with Jake. 😂 I love watching his videos. And you never see a man so beautiful with a big brain like his.

[@ASlightlyKnowledgableDinosaur]

Finally Jake getting the recognition he deserves!

[@KingDavid00]

Lasers a cool dude he definitely inspires me to believe in myself and be able to persevere thru obstacles. It’s hard sometimes but we gotta keep some faith in us bruh

[@laithitsbeenamintv8484]

He is a super bonafide genius of engineering. Pushing the limits to human to superhero.

[@eezz1558]

This guy makes everyones childhood dream

[@ianw0ng]

He makes his childhood dream comes true.

[@alizagardin7712]

Been watching him for awhile, so cool to see this!

[@mir.9805]

This dude is blowing and he deserves it. I remember when he was at 50k subscribers making videos and building things in his basement.

[@gingy30]

In a garage! With a box of scraps!!!

[@nicholassmith3341]

I'm glad they did this video on him, he honestly is just a good youtuber in general

[@ryder_k3287]

Let's gooooooo, I've watched him for years. He deserves this

[@jfider21]

That’s not a laser, it’s a little light bulb that blinks.

[@jadevandercolff4096]

Lets Go Jake. Bro wtf. I can't believe you made it on Wired. Well done bro

[@numairn]

Been watching him for a long time, watched his face on the thumbnail and clicked right away!

[@echoasis1935]

[@rez0rrex]

Nice, he's gonna keep growing, watched his latest vid yesterday

[@tanaykumar1043]

This guy finally is being recognised!

[@tobiasfan5407]

legit thought he "laser engineered" these gadgets. No ladies and gentleman, his name is "Jake Laser" 💥

[@okiedokiedesu6191]

And people like him are what propel humankind forward. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏

[@Lizcoon]

First project: yeah we're taking these high powered motors and strapping them on our feet to walk on water. Second project: I made bouncy frisbee

[@jjwang7597]

With a last name of Laser, you have no other choice of occupation, you must become an engineer lol

[@renantemendoza9205]

I really want marvel to hire this guy for the superheroes gadget

[@orex1623]

the fact that the next video the youtube recommends is the one that he just built the thing to walk on water makes everything so much more amazing.

[@meowmeow9617]

The way how he talks in this video sounds like he’s being held gunpoint 😂

[@user-qn7dy4sp4k]

This is so cool. Living life like this would be so interesting and entertaining. I envy u laser

[@MarijnJonkers]

I have watched this guy for so long now, good that he gets this much attention now

[@-That1Ghost-]

Dude, bout time he gets some recognition cuz he's hella dope.

[@panosdks]

This is gonna be one of those videos with 50 million views isn’t it

imagine him having a proper team of engineers, the right budget and a workplace he would truly be a real life Tony Stark hands down!

[@SmokesKwazukii]

that shield could actually be mass produced as an awesome toy

[@unowaholebile-sitale8225]

I've never regretted watching his video I love how he works and I've never regretted watching any of his videos

Never even heard of him, but I have now! Thanks!

I cannot wait for his Falcon wings all finished. The ones he first did are a prototype, he's working with other people to get real working wings that can actually fly.

[@Marvestal]

wierd i had this dream i had these spiderman gloves that let me stick to walls.

[@johnnyrockets6667]

I’ve been watching Jake for like 5 years now. He really inspired me to get out of the house and build something cool, and I have since made a metal forge in my yard! Such a cool guy, I’m glad they interviewed him. I hope he can collaborate with the hacksmith one day too.
