New York Giants superstar Cam Skattebo turned into a superhero on Thursday night with his bold choice of headgear.
The burly running back was pictured strolling into MetLife Stadium for his team’s clash with the Washington Commanders in an iconic piece of movie memorabilia.
Skattebo channeled his inner Tony Stark by wearing a custom-made Iron Man helmet that had the Giants logo on the side.
The blue and silver headpiece also closes automatically at the push of a button, similarly to the way Robert Downey Jr’s would in the iconic Marvel movies.
Skattebo lifted the facemask portion up as he arrived at the stadium to greet fans and sign autographs.
The 24-year-old former Arizona State star is good to go after tearing a hamstring muscle in overtime on October 25 against the Houston Texans. He missed last week’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Giants will need Skattebo to be at his best on Thursday night when they host Jayden Daniels and their NFC East rivals.
John Harbaugh and the Giants are 5-2-1 and looking to pad their lead atop the division, while the 2-5-1 Commanders are playing to keep their fading hopes going and save their season.
On what is expected to be a soggy night in East Rutherford, JJ McCarthy and the Giants offense are expected to lean heavily on their second-year running back.
Washington is 12th in the league against the rush, and Skattebo could again get the bulk of the carries, especially after no trade materialized for Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts.
Skattebo had a costly fumble in the Giants’ first game against the Commanders this season, losing the ball in overtime of an epic game that ended in a tie.
As a result, Harbaugh gave him zero touches of the ball in their next game against the New Orleans Saints.
Skattebo has 418 rushing yards off 98 attempts with two touchdowns so far this season.
