*** He would probably not need to [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000375/bio adjust] [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000332/bio it] to fit his frame. And he would know that, too.
**** Oh, is THAT why we had an [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005024/bio actor switch]?
***** Accounts vary on why Terrence Howard left to be replaced by Don Cheadle, but its generally held to be a combination of 'disagreement over salary' and 'was not easy to work with on set'.
*** And on the whole "best buds" thing, there's a line about how th suits have locks and such to prevent "unauthorized usage." Rhodey was clearly authorized to use the suit.
*** He was certainly authorized to use it, he just didn't know it. Remember Tony thinks he's dying and it's the same reason he appoints Pepper as CEO - he needs someone to replace him. If Rhodey had never been in the suit before, there's no reason he would find it unusual if he walked up to a suit, banged on the chest and yelled at it to "open up" a couple of times before JARVIS helpfully opened it up, prepared the suit for him and gave him some basic operating instructions. Tony ''wanted'' him in the suit so he would have made it as convenient as possible without going too far so as to make Rhodey suspicious that it could be some kind of trap. Hence he had the basic operation handed to him, but more complex things like weapons and flight he had to work out on his own once he was in the suit.
