Iron Man’s Changing Suit

The Iron Man suit is one of the most iconic superhero costumes to ever grace the big screen. But did you know that Tony Starks has gone through different versions of suits? This blog will go through the different suits worn in the movies and the comics, their functions and my opinion on them.

The Mark I

The Mark I was created by Tony Stark in the film Iron Man in 2008. The suit was made out of iron after he was held captive by terrorists. It was created as a means of escape and to fight back against his captors. As it was improvised, it had very little functionality. It could barely fly and had limited weaponry.

The Mark II

The Mark II was created after Tony returned home from captivity, once again using the resources at his disposal. It was created with more thought than the previous version, and this showed with its capabilities. The suit could fly further distances without crashing, as well as having greater artillery capabilities. The suit had a sleek gold design which helped with its aerodynamics.

In the movie, Tony Stark announced that he would be retiring from creating weapons for Stark Industries and instead focus on producing sustainable energy for humanity. This became a central theme for Tony Stark throughout the Iron Man franchise, focusing on using technology for

The Iron Man franchise has seen Tony Stark wear numerous suits, each with its own speciality. The Mark III was designed for mobility, the Mark V was designed to be worn under clothes, and the Mark XLV was designed to carry an entire house.

This blog will cover the different suits of armour, as well as their capabilities and limitations in the films and comics they appear in.

Tony Stark had a big change in Avengers: Infinity War.

While he initially set out to save the world on his own, he realized he could not do it alone and needed help.

The Iron Man suit has been a part of Tony Stark’s life for many years, but it undergoes some changes throughout the films.

In the first film, Stark’s suit is a work in progress. To get out of the cave, he uses a makeshift suit made from scrap metal and other materials available to him. It’s bulky, heavy, and has a face that looks like it’s been welded together.

By the time he finished the suit, it was more advanced than anything we’ve seen before in comics or films. It was capable of flight, had repulsors (the blue beams that shoot out of his hand), and had several other capabilities yet to be revealed. This suit served Tony well throughout this first movie. He used it to escape from his kidnappers and defeat Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges).

In 2008, Marvel Studios launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Iron Man. Over the past 10 years, Tony Stark has evolved his iconic armor from a bulky, gray metal suit to an impossibly sleek red and gold suit of powered armor.

In the comics, Stark constantly upgrades his armor to keep up with the threats he faces. In the movies, we have seen many changes in Tony’s armor over the years. The MCU even gave us a glimpse into a future where Tony’s legacy lives on in his daughter’s new armor.

Let’s take a closer look at these suits and see how they reflect what was going on in Tony’s life at the time.

The Iron Man suit, also known as the Mark suit is a fictional powered exoskeleton appearing in American comic books published by Marvel comics and is worn by comic book superhero Tony Stark when he assumes the identity of Iron Man. The first version of the armor was created by Stark with the help of Ho Yinsen as a means of escape from captivity in Afghanistan. The Mark I armor was built from scraps that were readily available to Stark and Yinsen, including salvaged pieces of shrapnel embedded in Stark’s body and a car battery for power. While it provided Stark with life support and protection from physical harm, it had limited offensive capabilities, and its design was retroactively described as “crude”. Over the course of Stark’s career as Iron Man, he created many specialized suits to deal with specific situations such as underwater diving deep sea rescue situations.

The first appearance of the armor was in Tales of Suspense
