History
This armor was built by Tony Stark some time after his fallout with Captain America. It appeared to be almost entirely similar to the Iron Man Armor MK XLVI, aside from the use of two-toned silver painting in the lower torso, upper arms, and upper thighs.
When Spider-Man plummeted into a river tangled in a parachute deployed by his suit following a brief confrontation against the airborne Adrian Toomes, Tony had the remotely-controlled MK XLVII rescue him. The suit returned to Stark's base in autopilot mode once Tony disconnected from the armor after scolding Spider-Man and ordering him not to pursue Toomes.
When a Chitauri-based weapon went haywire and split a Staten Island ferry in two during an ensuing confrontation between Spider-Man and Toomes, Stark flew to the scene equipped with the MK XLVII in order prevent a tragedy. He deployed miniature repulsor thrusters on the sides of the boat and used the armor's laser to crudely weld together the two halves, thus keeping the boat steady long enough until it could be evacuated. He subsequently spoke privately with Spider-Man, and stepped out of his armor to chastise him.[1]Trivia
- The design of the MK XLVII is a recolored version of the MK XLVI with a colorway that homages Ultimate Iron Man. This is because Spider-Man: Homecoming production studio Columbia Pictures didn't have enough visual effects budget for a brand new suit, with the colorway homage being requested by Kevin Feige.[2]
- In the same way in which the MK XLVI is a repainted version of a previous suit with the color scheme of Ultimate Iron Man, toy manufacturer Hasbro once released an action figure named the 1599 Iron Man Ultimate Armor as part of their Iron Man 2 Concept Art series of action figures. This figure was a repaint of the Iron Man Armor MK IV with the color scheme of Ultimate Iron Man.
