History

One of the five different Iron Man armors created by Tony Stark. They were never used in action until the armors were activated via remote trigger when the son of Ho Yinsen was shot and killed by S.H.I.E.L.D. forces.

This Hulkbuster drone attacked Times Square. Captain America, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, Wolverine, and She-Hulk were unable to stop it. Realizing it was keyed to his own consciousness, Stark blasted himself with repulsors to shut it down.

Notes

• This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 32 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 31 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 32. 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.
