The word:
Closer look at the kanji:
B = Beginner | I = Intermediate | A = Advanced

鉄人
tetsu jin
Strong (Iron) Man

鉄 tetsu iron
人 jin man, person

地下鉄 chi ka tetsu - subway (not the restaurant!) [B]
鉄道 tetsu dou - rail road (iron road) [I]
大人 otona - adult [B]
火星人 ka sei jin - Martian [I]
外国人 gai koku jin - foreigner [B]


...And just out of warranty!

SUGGESTED USAGE:

無敵の鉄人ボブは夏の小雨で錆びた。
muteki no tetsujin bobu wa, natsu no kosame de sabita.
Bob, the invincible Iron Man rusted in a light summer sprinkle.

ABOUT SUGGESTED USAGE:

 ボブ bobu - Bob (a tough sounding name like the Fonz)
 夏 natsu - summer
の no - shows possession It was a light sprinkle OF the summer
 小雨 ko same - light rain Another and perhaps an easier way would be to say, 'karui ame' (light rain)
arrow で de - in He rusted because of being IN the rain
arrow 錆びた sabita - rusted from sabiru
