Tony Stark began using this armor during the time that he served as the United States Secretary of Defense. After receiving massive damage due to acid exposure, this model was replaced by the updated Model 25 armor.[2]
Capabilities[]
The armor standard's weaponry included repulsors, uni-beam and sonics. Concussion blasts were used against the Hand. Zero-point energy was used against Michael Pointer.
Via voice command, the armor went into "Battle Mode." If separated by magnetism, it could reform and return to Stark.
Defensively, a repulsor shield could be extended to protect the armor and allies in combat.
An integrated remote command could override other Iron Man armors as a safety feature.
Security was enhanced by upgrades to anti-tampering devices.[3]Notes
- This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 25 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 24 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the "Many Armors of Iron Man" variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 25. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB.
