He ’s more than just a great man in a suit of armor , he is Iron Man ( a.k.a . Tony Stark ) . Perhaps the most popular superhero in film powerful now , it was Iron Man who was primarily responsible for ushering in a " golden years " for superhero cinema .
While Mr. Stark could n’t have done that without his trustworthy Iron Man armor , he has proven time and again that he ’s quite something even without it . Apart from being the " biggest encephalon " in the MCU , he is ( or was ) also thede factoleader of the Avengers . His greatest invention , however , remains his horde of Iron Man suits . Among them , 10 endure out the most . They ’ve become more than just armour ; they have do to represent Iron Man at his finest .
MARK I
The primogenitor and the granddaddy of all Iron Man armor . Tony Stark build this in a cave … with a bunch of refuse ! Of course , he did it at gunpoint– shows how much you may do under insistency . allow ’s also not discredit the fact that it looks like a court to the quondam Iron Man armour of the comic books .
This suit endure to show just how far Stark has come , and is a far cry from what he was able to achieve later on . Take note of the highly vulnerable eyeslits on the helmet and the lack of computing equipment . The Mark I was completely mechanical and had no digital interface . disregardless , it did the most important job of all the Iron Man armors : it economise Tony Stark and change his life .
MARK III
Now we ’re getting somewhere . The Mark III is the first official serviceable Iron Man suit , which was built as a labor of dear in an engineering research lab ( Tony ’s garage ) . It can wing , withstand high altitude , and has enough weapon system to make whole armies slobber . It was also the first suit to adopt the gold and red colouration scheme faithful to the comical book Iron Man .
Such an iconic and nostalgic Iron Man armor deserves to be high , right ? Well , ground on how ripe or operative it was , we ’re not certain if Stark would even require to use this armour . It ’s worn like a traditional chivalric armour and take forever to suit up with it . While it is miles better than the Mark I ( both of which seem in 2008’sIron Man ) , it ’s still a mo impractical . Of naturally , from this dot on , Stark kept improving his designs .
MARK V
The Mark V first appeared inIron Man 2and marks the first time that an Iron Man suit became portable . For those who missed that picture , the Mark V fit in a suitcase ( or rather , it is the suitcase ) . This made Tony Stark ’s life a wad prosperous since from this point on , as he was able to become Iron Man anywhere .
It still was n’t perfect , of row . The Mark V , for all its flashy portability , seems to be less resistant or less lasting to damage compared to the earlier suits which have thicker plates . to boot , the Mark V has fewer fighting capacity than the heavier wooing , since it had to be promiscuous for paw carrying in a bag .
JRXL-1000 (A.K.A. WAR MACHINE)
The JRXL-1000 Variable Threat Response Battle Suit is also sleep with as the War Machine Armor Mark I. While it belongs to Stark ’s dear friend Col . James Rhodes , it ’s really a stolen Iron Man Mark II armour . Upon bringing it to the U.S. military and another weapons manufacturer , it was outfitted with better armour and conventional weapons .
You could say that War Machine was Iron Man on steroid , date that it had grown and more volatile tools . Its most iconic arm , however , is the back bestride minigun . It has an AI and targeting organization of its own and can eliminate threats with 360 - degree insurance coverage .
MARK XLIV (A.K.A. HULKBUSTER)
As it twist out , there is no limit to what Tony Stark can do with engineering . The Hulkbuster is proof of that , demonstrate that even something as destructive as the Hulk also has its synthetic couple . It first appeared inAvengers : Age of Ultron .
There is no question what the Hulkbuster is for : its purpose is fill down the Hulk ( or keeping him in use at the very least ) . So , how did it come against the big wild meanie ? It was a success . The Hulkbuster proved capable of deal the Hulk at his most destructive moments … by the skin of Tony ’s teeth .
MARK XLII
It was n’t untilIron mankind 3that Tony was able to make a prototype of one of his most portable Iron Man armor . The Mark XLII or the 42nd Iron Man armour is an observational admiration , whose problem were * ahem * iron out throughout the third movie .
It ’s a complete and in full capable Iron Man suit which is also stocky . Tony made it so that each part is modular with its own reverse lightning locomotive engine . This makes each part capable of flying and impound to him individually until he is fully clad . The Mark XLII is also one of the first fully operable Iron Man suits that does n’t need an actual user in spite of appearance . That ’s something Stark used again , as shown inSpiderman : Homecoming .
MARK XLIX (A.K.A. HULKBUSTER 2.0)
The Hulkbuster was a great invention and it would be a ignominy if it was only utilized once . Thankfully , Avengers : eternity Warsaw another use for the Hulkbuster . This time , instead of fight the Hulk , it helped him –or Bruce Banner , rather– because the Hulk was missing in action .
It ’s deserving note that it was n’t Stark who built the Hulkbuster 2.0 . The Mark XLIX was a limited Hulkbuster courtesy of Wakanda and Bruce Banner . Like the original Hulkbuster , it also fared exceptionally well . With it , Banner was able to defeat and kill Cull Obsidian , who was Thanos ' most physically powerful minion .
MARK L
Speaking of Iron Man armors inInfinity War , Tony Stark also does not shy off from upgrade . His Mark L or 50th Iron Man armour featured a huge footstep - up in technology over any other lawsuit he made prior . alternatively of the clumsy and inapt armor plates , the Mark L uses nanites or nanoparticles which can deploy all over Stark ’s physical structure and manifest into an Iron Man causa . This makes it interchangeable to Black Panther ’s suit .
While some might argue that it barely looks like armour , it certainly served its intent well . It had all the capability of the former Iron Man suit and then some . Not to mention , the Mark L was also more commodious than any predecessor . On a final note of hand , we can recall Stark was able to use it to wind Thanos , Infinity Stones and all . He was the only Avenger able to inflict that form of damage against the delirious Titan ( A word of word of advice : the next two Iron Man armors are potentialspoilersfor those who have not seenAvengers : Endgame ) .
RESCUE ARMOR MODEL 1 (A.K.A. MK 1616)
We all bed that Pepper Potts is Stark ’s soulmate in the MCU . They ’ve been together through thick and thin . One could wonder why Stark never made her any Iron Man armor ( even for emergency protective purpose ) before . This gets rectify inAvengers : Endgame , when Tony gave Pepper her very own Iron Man courting as an anniversary gift . It ’s call in the Rescue Armor Model 1 or MK 1616 . sport fact : 1616 , when converted into letters , spells " PP , " Pepper Potts ' initials .
It ’s not just a mere giving , of course . Pepper used it for the final conflict against Thanos inEndgame , in what looks like a full geeky fan armed service moment which ought to put a smile on any Iron Man fan ’s face . It ’s pocket-size and more sylphlike than Stark ’s wooing , but still equally awesome and fashionable with its blue and purple food color .
MARK LXXXV
Stark ’s lfinal Iron Man suit is the Mark LXXXV or the 85th Iron Man suit featured inAvengers : Endgame . It is likely a more metal and bulkier interlingual rendition of the Mark L. What does set it aside from the Mark L ( by from appearing and upgrades ) is the fact that it was also build to control and resist the Infinity Stones . It ’s basically a portable Infinity Gauntlet– the acme of Stark ’s engineering .
lamentably , Tony kick the bucket in this armor , after using the Infinity Stones to bust Thanos and his army out of existence . His heroic forfeiture save not only the Earth but also the entire macrocosm . Such a effort would not have been possible without the Mark LXXXV worn by the valiant Tony Stark .
