History

After some time out of the public eye due to burnout and scandal, Stark returned to daily life.

Hydra attacked a gamma plant where the remaining armor had been stored; Stark and Sitwell investigated.

The gamma bomb's detonation had brought the Hulk to life. Hulk caused Stark's helicopter to crash. Tony suffered major injuries to his heart, and put on the armor to save his life. Feeling like he was given a second chance, Stark became active as Iron Man.

He later learned that the armor design was not flawed; it had been damaged when Rebel secretly challenged the Titanium Man.

Notes

• The Prometheum armor was created and used during the Heroes Reborn time period and exclusive to that Alternate-Earth setting. When Tony Stark returns to Earth-616, he immediatley adapts the newer Renaissance 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.
• This armor was originally designated as Model CE1 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual #1 as well as the Iron Manual TPB. In 2018's "Many Armors of Iron Man" variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man #1, its designation was misspelled "C1E1."

Trivia

• A toy version of the Prometheum Armor was produced for the Heroes Reborn Avengers line. A new one was later released under the Marvel Legends imprint.
