Not the best of storylines, but at least they got some cool armor out of it? His reasoning for creating the armor might surprise you though: Tony helps the government stop a terrorist force from opening a toxic gas tank at the wreckage of the Titanic which they were planning to use as a weapon. Tony’s regular Iron Man armor does of course work in water, but the Hydro Armor could go as deep as three miles into the ocean. The name might make you think Tony uses this armor to put out fires when in fact it was used to dive to extreme depths in the ocean. The Mark VIII is widely known as the “Silver Centurion Armor.” It changed the color pattern from red and gold to red and silver and featured the biggest addition to the armor in its newfound “Chameleon effect.” Using this effect, the armor could blend into the environment around it. When the Mark VIII eventually showed up, it would be just as different of a design from the previous incarnations as the Mark III was to the Mark II. The armor contained similar weapons to the original Iron Man armor, but was also capable of working underground, under water, and in space. Arno Stark purchased Stark Industries and began life as a mercenary in armor inspired by his late Uncle’s own. One of many sets of armor that technically didn't belong to Tony Stark, instead this belonged to his nephew in the far away future of 2020. The primary capability of the suit was concealment, and it housed literally no weapons (a first for Iron Man). Stark is spying on a facility in East Germany and can only do so with his newly-formed Stealth Armor. The first Space Armor only appeared a few times in the comics.ġ981, tensions are high in the Cold War, Communism is seen as a daily threat in the American life, and where does Iron Man have go to? East Germany, of course. It looked very similar to the regular Iron Man armor with the same color patterns and design, but was heavier. The first set of Space Armor was created by Tony to investigate the source of microwaves emitting from a source in space. This was also the armor that James Rhodes wore when he briefly replaced Tony behind the mask. Yes, Tony Stark’s bodyguard was turned into a radioactive monster due to an accident at Stark’s lab and caused enough damage to the Mark III to warrant an upgrade. The reason Tony upgraded this time was due to a fight he had with a villain known as ‘The Freak,’ who you might know as Happy Hogan. Over ten years would go by before Iron Man upgraded his standard armor once again. The helmet for the Mark IV was also a more slick and rounded design from the pointed ‘horns’ of the previous version. The Mark III armor’s primary difference, and largest addition to the Iron Man mythology, is the use of the repulsor rays. Two years later, the Iron Man armor would get another upgrade. This sleeker and more lightweight design has been the staple of Iron Man’s armor for decades and the first time his mask was ever equipped with the fabled “horns.” It’s often referred to as the ‘Ditko Armor’ because famous Marvel artist Steve Ditko designed it. It is often referred to as the ‘Golden Avenger’ armor.Ĭreated because he was almost killed in a fight with Mister Doll, the Mark II has become the design and layout for the armor that made Iron Man famous. This was also the armor that Tony used the very first time The Avengers formed together to stop Loki. It differed from its predecessor by changing the color scheme from silver to gold and many now defunct features such as an attached megaphone.
The very next issue of “Tales of Suspense” featured the already upgraded version of the armor. Fitted to it were the now famous boot-jets, a magnetic field disruptor, a blow torch, and finger saw. He called Chu’s bluff and outfitted a suit of armor with several technologies he had already been perfecting and thus the Iron Man Mark I armor was born.
A war prisoner, Tony Stark was forced to create a weapon by the Communist leader Wong Chu.
