History
This suit of armor derived from a rebuilt Model 24 after taking heavy damage from acid. This model was subsequently replaced by the Extremis Armor.
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 (by saying the word "Assemble"), the armor can go into "Battle Mode", and follow Stark's orders, including targeting and identifying enemies. The order code "Quivers" makes the armor go in standby mode.[2] 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 26 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 25 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 26. 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.
