The iron man suit used power derived from the arc reactor as seen in the comics and movies. The arc reactor is really just a fusion reactor that runs on nuclear power. Nuclear power is used all over the world so we know this component is very plausible. The next is the rocket boots. There is a man known as the bird man who successfully used jet flight to make himself fly! (There is a YouTube video on him that can be found on the source below) Thirdly we have all seen iron man's awesome repulsors. Really to make these all we would have to do is reverse the effects of a tractor beam. Even though our modern tractor beams may not be as good as we would like them to be.
Even though an iron man suit looks like something out of science fiction, it is actually very plausible. The suit may not be as high grade as the one seen in the comics but it would be close for sure.
