8. Why do some of them blew up?
Because the bodies can't regulate the virus. Extremis comic mentioned that the virus can only accomodate certain DNA, those that are not suitable will not fuse with the virus and die.
9. What makes Potts survived the virus?
Because Potts' body accepted the virus. DNA compatibility
i try to answer some, i just watched the China version of it.
Here's some real scientific basis of biological/genomic break-down trivia/info:1. Finding markers of DNA compatibility can be done easily. You don't have to give your life to test it out. It certainly can be done in 2005 when the Extremis storyline was written.
2. There has to be some reality check, Whole human genome is already available and to sequence each individual's genome is rather cheap now, RM3 to 5k.
3. To attribute all the fantastic powers to a viral treatment/DNA is too convenient. Even the premise of mutants (in the initial X-Men) are not as ambitious as propose in IM3. It would have been better if Extremis is just another form of Super Soldier method keeping with theme from Incredible Hulk, Cap. America, and not lump-all-in-one like Deadpool of Wolverine origins (a really-bad movie). Breathing fire, exploding, melting metal, spontaneous healing is just too much... (Note: There fire breathing and electricity generation in the comics too)...
From the China version, it's good to know that Extremis story/plot dies with IM3.... Being the Heart operation has nothing to do with Extremis.... And Avengers 2 does not have to deal with the Nonsense Baggage (but profitable) of IM3. Hopefully the only real legacy of IM3 would be just no ArcReactor in Tony's chest.

14. I thought the suits should be connected with the core in his chest?? Yet he charged the suit using car batteries??
Don't you think it's better to have another method to charge the suit rather than just the electromagnetic power source? He needs to charge the suit faster hence the car batteries.
Bad writing and the director not understanding the basis in IM1, IM2 and Avengers, The ArcReactor is
instant clean energy, totally un-tap with Mk. 42 with uses "slow" charging of power-mains or the boat motor (turning a electromagnetic turbine/dynomo).... Mk. 8 to Mk. 41 are presumed to have their own sustaining ArcReactors, but not the prodigal Son (Mk. 42).... Ignore what comes before and put it plots whatever suits the story...
