It also inspired the Riri Williams armor, which I also think was pretty great-looking.Īdvertisement Source: 1. The armor didn't last crazy long, but it had some really fun stories in its time.

After the super-complex Bleeding Edge and Extremis armors, this took it back to basics in a really great way. The result was sleek and elegant in its design. Here's what he came up with.Īlso known as Model 51, the Model Prime armor was able to shape itself into any needed suit, allowing it to be a sort of all-in-one suit. Using what he learned from his evil time with the Endo Sym Armor (Model 50), Tony decided to apply that knowledge to a heroic armor.

The Model 49 was deployed during Original Sin for a fight between Iron Man and the Hulk after Banner became convinced that Stark was responsible for the Malfunction of the Gamma Bomb that turned Banner into the Hulk. The Model 36 was used to fight the Hulk during World War Hulk. Eventually, it was remotely activated to attack Times Square, until Tony found a way to shut it down. Then there's the Model 31, which Stark created, but never wore. The Model 13 had plug-in points for heavy duty tech to enable a hulkbuster add-on that was used to confront the Hulk.

The suit's main improvement was its modular nature, which allowed pieces to be swapped out, depending on the mission. The suit was occasionally used remotely from space while Tony was there with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The bumblebee might not have been beloved, but it was a great new direction that was still clearly Iron Man.

An important one to behold, for sure.Īlso, Stark used a version of the Model 1 to defeat Norman Osborn in his Iron Patriot armor. This was, however, the armor in which he started, and the armor he wore when he founded the Avengers. Eventually, though, Tony realized that the suit was just too clunky and heavy, and he switched to a lighter armor. Once home, he painted the thing gold to make it look more heroic and less monstrous. Professor Yinsen and Tony Stark collaborated in building the first suit, which was in part a makeshift pacemaker to keep Tony from a painful death. The Model 1Īnd of course we gotta find a place for that classic of classics, the first Iron Man armor.īuilt in a cave in Vietnam, this hunk o' junk was able to take on Wong-Chu and his entire army of vague stereotypes that made us kind of uncomfortable when viewed from today's perspective.
