History
This suit was created in secret by Tony Stark when he had to give up being Iron Man for the time being, and given to Jim Rhodes, who previously faked his death against Mandarin's forces.[2]
Capabilities[]
The suit possessed regular Iron Man repulsor weaponry, including the ghost-tech found in the War Machine Armor.[3] The palm repulsors were also capable to emit a form of ice or polymer to lock an opponent in place.[4] It also was able to deploy micro-munitions[5] and an EMP blast.[6]Notes
Trivia
- When this armor was adapted into a 3.75" action figure for the series 23 of Hasbro's Marvel Universe toyline, the package's description promoted it as a "zero-gravity space armor."
- In 2018, the "Many Armors of Iron Man" variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 bumped up the numeric designation of several of the 20 armors it spotlighed due to the Model 13 being split into 13 and 14. One of these suits is the Bleeding Edge Armor, which was reclassified as Model 38 after having previously been officially identified as the Model 37. However, the Black and Gold Armor retained its previously established designation of Model 42, leaving only three vacant numbers (39, 40 and 41) for the four previously-officially designated suits between it and the Bleeding Edge Armor. Due to the limited scope of the cover series making it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration, the Marvel Database will prioritize the previous numbering, which stemmed from the Iron Manual TPB and All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe.
