History

Operated via the telepresence system when Stark's nerve damage was too severe to allow him to normally act as Iron Man. With no need for space to accommodate a wearer, the armor had more room for weapons and power source.

One version self-destructed to prevent Technovore from reaching Earth. The second model was destroyed by Ultimo. A prototype NTU was used by Stark to battle VOR/TEX.
