Electrifying Mouser and Marvel Super Hero Video Series Exceeds 1.3 Million Views

June 13, 2016 — Mouser Electronics Inc. is excited to announce that its very popular Project Heroes video series, developed in conjunction with Marvel Entertainment, has exceeded 1.3 million views on YouTube. Mouser and Marvel are bringing to life Super Hero technology straight from the movie Captain America: Civil War through the video series as part of Mouser's Empowering Innovation Together™ program.

The videos, designed to educate and entertain future engineers and fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, follow former Mythbusters star Grant Imahara and viral video celebrity Allen Pan through the creation of working versions of Captain America's shield and Iron Man's famous gauntlet.

"Seeing so many people connect with this video series is exactly what drives us to keep innovating and have a meaningful connection to engineers throughout the world," said Kevin Hess, Mouser Electronics' Senior Vice President of Marketing. "Our customers are truly inspired seeing that Mouser Electronics gives even the most imaginative ideas a possibility to come to life."

The videos describe the full build process — from concept to the final unveiling — to show tech lovers the real-life possibilities of Super Hero technology built with new parts from Molex and Analog Devices.

While Grant concentrates on building a fully articulated Iron Man gauntlet — complete with lasers — Allen builds a controllable Captain America shield capable of flying back to his arm using drone technology.

After this Super Hero series, the 2016 Empowering Innovation Together program will find Grant and Mouser exploring space technology and even 3D printing a car. To keep up to date with the Empowering Innovation Together Program, visit www.mouser.com/empowering-innovation.

About Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War"
Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark's surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Frank Grillo and Martin Freeman, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl.

The screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" opens in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2016.
