Ma Long is a big fan of Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Marvel’s wisecracking, billionaire, playboy superhero. He even has a collection of Iron Man dolls action figures.
What do the pair have in common? Well, both look sharp in a dapper suit and you probably don’t want to stand in their way when they are firing supercharge shots in your general direction.
So to honour the world number one, a fan has spliced together a Captain Long movie trailer.
Maybe Ma Long has a future career in film? Could Marvel find him a place on The Avengers in the future?
