Who is best Iron Man and why is it Mark XLVI?

What does a man make 46 armors for?

I only saw the first movie, I'm more of a comicfag. I prefer the stealth armor, silver centurion and the space suit (yellow and black). I don't know their numbers because fuck it.

In Iron Man 3, Tony becomes paranoid after the events of the Avengers, so he builds 30-something suits for every situation he can think of, among them the stealth, Silver Centurion, and the space suit. They all come in during the final battle piloted by Jarvis as Tony's personal Iron Man army.

...The movie was pretty lackluster, but it gave us some of the best armors in the MCU.

That suit and War Machine Mk III looked fucking amazing in the film.

Easily best aspect of Civil War in my book.

>>14777756
That's a funny way to spell "Silver Centurion"

>>14777762
He was having a mental breakdown and basically just experimenting with one specific function, building a suit or three around it, then moving on to the next without perfecting it.

>>14777762
He was having a midlife crisis combined with some severe PTSD and he turned to the one vice that wouldn't kill him:

Inventing shit.

>>14779858
If Iron man 1 is any incdication, inventing shit almost gets him killed half the time

What I said is an issue completely independant of Riri Williams.

But she's her own can of worms, though that has a lot more to do with her age than race. The idea of someone that young and inexperienced taking up the Iron Mantle is a bit hard to swallow compared to Spiderman.

>>14784062
>The idea of someone that young and inexperienced taking up the Iron Mantle is a bit hard to swallow compared to Spiderman.

I can understand that but Marvel has done far crazier bullshit. I can accept a fifteen year old girl being as smart as Tony.

>>14784039

That issue of Tony fighting Peter might actually be one of the worst comics out of hte last few years.

>>14784043
You like issues where nothing happens with repetitive dialogue that pretends to be realistic, shitty humor, complete ignorance of concurrent work and repeated panels?
Pandering is not even the worst thing about Bendis.

>>14784068
>I can accept a fifteen year old girl being as smart as Tony.
I can't accept a fifteen year old being as competent as Tony. Say what you want about Tony, he's hyper competent for an average human (or posthuman. The comics are never clear on just about how much of his old Extremis biology he still has access to.)

Tony Stark has been going up against cosmic level shit and world-ending scenarios since the early days of his career as Iron Man, but he started in his mid-late twenties and was a genius weapons engineer before then. Riri, in comparison, is an unusually smart kid at MIT, yet the idea of her taking up the Iron mantle means that Tony is putting her in harm's way in a very irresponsible fashion. So 100% in character, I suppose, but still, there's no reason to believe that just because she reverse engineered an Iron Man suit means she's ready to be the Iron Man (or Heart, I guess.)

>but Marvel has done far crazier bullshit.
That's not really a point in her favor.

>>14784068

I can accept a 15 year old being War Machine, I can't accept that one would fly an armor that utilitarian. I don't even mean a 15 year old girl, because a 15 year old boy is far more likely to fly something like Iron Man with loud colours, lots of gadgets and non combat utility than War Machine too.

Or have they changed her to be not War Machine since she was announced?

>>14784173

There's porn parodies of every superhero with a film and quite a few more besides. All using the characters name and likeness. Even if that were famous enough for Marvel to know, and I seriously doubt it is, they're not going to give one hint of a shit. If they're okay with Spiderman XXX, Not the Avengers XXX or whatever, they're never going to care about some shitty j-porn using a characters hero name.

>>14784194
The porn actually predates the character, in this case.

>>14784159

So what's going to happen to Tony? Is he going on a space adventure again or just retiring? Not that either will last more than a year before he completely reverses direction.

>>14784201
It sounds like he's full-on retiring again. This is about the third time he's quit forever, though.

Man I was hype as FUCK when I learned that dr. doom is going to be taking over the Iron man role. I love me some victor and I him being a hero would be fun.

GIGA's costumes look amazing, but I hear that they're less impressive in motion.

The designs still look good, though. I've yet to find a healthy torrent for them, though, and I hear they follow the same basic "Heroine kicks some ass, gets captured, then stripped in stages and raped while she makes sick dolphin noises" storyline.

>>14784068
Valeria Richards is only 4 years old and she's already smarter than her father. Given this information, nobody should be complaining about a 15yr old girl being as smart as Tony.

>>14784284
Valeria's a mutant freak.

Besides, the smartest person in Marvel, period, is that ten year old girl from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

>>14784252
> I hear they follow the same basic "Heroine kicks some ass, gets captured, then stripped in stages and raped while she makes sick dolphin noises" storyline.
As a femdomfag, I really hate that. And aside from my fetish, I never understood why is that such a constant. I mean I get more people like rape but super heroes tend to win their battles.

>>14785026
It's probably that weird thing in Japan where women aren't supposed to enjoy sex. And it's a lot easier to present your heroine as pure and something that can be sullied when she doesn't "act like a whore".

"Genius-level intellect" is such an overused power that even writers joke about it nowadays. Stuff like "the list of the 10 smartest people on Earth" is utter cringe too. They even lampshade it a few times, like when someone asks why can't Reed, Black Panther or Beast ever cure cancer.

>>14785414
>Stuff like "the list of the 10 smartest people on Earth" is utter cringe too.
It worked great in Incredible Hercules.

>"Genius-level intellect" is such an overused power that even writers joke about it nowadays.
The whole problem is the shared universe. Reed, Doom and Valeria existing is ok in a Fantastic Four comic. Tony existing is ok in an Iron Man comic. Put them together in the same universe with Black Panther, Beast, Amadeus Cho, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym... and you wonder why they don't already live in a futuristic society.

>>14785414
black panther did find the cure for cancer
he just doesn't share

>>14785515
Let's also not forget about all the "lesser geniuses" in the Marvel Universe, like the original Beetle (now "Mach 7" or something) who designed his own armor, or even guys like the Trapster. In the real world, these guys would probably be making millions.

Are we all pretending that the Mk. III isn't still the best? Is this a game we're playing that nobody told me about?

The Iron Man 1 armors were designed by a comic book artist and physically built as props. It's no surprise that they look so much better than the pure-CG armors in the later movies, especially the "sleek" ones that obviously wouldn't work if they were actually built.

Doom keeps his inventions to himself, Tony's are to expensive to mass-produce, and Reed actually accepts money from corporations so that he WON'T release his inventions onto the open market and destroy the competition.

Beast is a filthy mutie degenerate who specializes in biology, Cho is a selfish twat who's more interested in riding a strong man's dick than making a difference, Banner's not trusted because he's the Hulk, and Pym wastes his talent on making stuff for adventures, not the advancement of society.

Are they going to explain how the helmet works?

>>14794969
Probably by compressing her hair.

Either way, that comparison doesn't work. Her neck and shoulders should be slightly smaller than the suit. It's made of armored plates, not a second skin.

>>14794969
Riri fits her afro in the helmet the same way Doggie fits his snout in his helmet.

>>14794969
Same way those japs wear those bald wig things

>>14794969

Nanomachines or something, who cares? A lot of the way the Iron Man suits work is only vaguely explained, so having super compressed hair is hardly a sin when you have the suit forming from your bone marrow or whatever.

>>14794997
Bleeding Edge is Tony only (and I still don't understand why they traded up from that), I think hers is more of a traditional armored suit.

>>14795012
What I don't get is Tony's current armor can do everything all of his previous armors can do, but Bleeding Edge was capable of limited shapeshifting, so can his current armor replicate that?

>>14795021
The current armor is capable of transforming into various tools.

The current stats: http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Man_Armor_Model_51

Honestly, I'm really not a fan of the magical "Comes from nowhere" armors. I'd rather have him crawl into a suit, or have the drama of him not being near the suit.

>>14795065
I liked the idea of the Football suit in Iron Man 2. Convenient how Whiplash was nice enough to wait for Tony to put it on before continuing to try and kill him.

To me it's a way of showing how much Tony progressed. He got so advanced that can just put it on instantly, as opposed to the first time in iron man 1. And the fact that a rich man like him would be prepared with the toys he built himself.

>>14795012

Because bleeding edge thematically is a dead-end. There is no where to go from there.

But if you want a story reason, Tony said that Bleeding Edge is not as good as suit dedicated to a specific purpose. For example, Bleeding Edge can do stealth but is not as a good as a dedicated Iron Man Stealth Suit.

>>14795389
I actually haven't seen Civil War yet. I need to.

But either way, to me it's like. If there was a clever way to have the suit on him at all times, or to call the suit to him, that's one thing. I don't mind them speeding up the process.

But when he can fit the entire suit into his bone marrow, or into an artificially grown extradimensional symbiote or hold it in a watch... Nah, that's stretching things too far. There's no drama, no urgency, when he can just fart and have it on. Like, again, in the comics his current suit fits into a bracelet.

When it comes to portability, in both the comics and movies, there's basically five options I like.

>Always wearing, just cloaked
Like, the armor is invisible, displaying a suit-wearing Tony.

>LMDs that convert to armor
Fake 'bodyguards' that transform into armor when he gives the command.

>Wearing an armored breastplate under clothes, rest extends
At one point in the late 70s/early 80s he wore a suit that extended the sleeves when he activated a signal.

>The suit case
The suit is in a case that either comes up around you or you step in and an armoring process begins. Like in Iron Man 2 or the Iron Man cartoon.

>Summon the armor from a distance
Minus the faux slapstick of Iron Man 3.

>>14796256
That's kinda weak considering that he's basically gone from the Bleeding Edge to the Model 42 to the Prime Armor which is just another shapeshifting do-anything suit.

>>14787829
Mark 45 has a better ass

>>14796282

>That's kinda weak considering that he's basically gone from the Bleeding Edge to the Model 42 to the Prime Armor which is just another shapeshifting do-anything suit.

Well, I'm simply quoting what Tony said in the comics. Tony also said that the Bleeding-Edge was essentially "lazy" approach to combat. He first thought the suit could adapt to whatever was needed, but started running into issues. In fact, if you check out the issues involving Bleeding-Edge the suit has endurance problems, and starts to have problems after fighting several enemies. Tony can't repair it as quickly, and he had to take it out several times while it was still under repair. It's very future-tech adaptable suit, but it had maintenance problems and long repair times.

Tony said he went back to dedicated suits, because it forced him to think strategically about dealing with enemies, and coming up with plans beforehand. Rather than just relying on the suit to "adapt" to the situation on the fly

He even started bringing more than one suit to battles. Tony had a whole repair-ship that had spare suits, replace parts, and repair him all in a single go. Strategy is better than relying on tactics. I agree with Tony on this.

Now the current-prime armor is different than the Bleeding Edge suit. Whereas the Bleeding Edge was high-maintenance, the Prime armor has some sort of rapid self-healing that is not explained very well by Bendis. We will have to wait and see if more is explained.

Team-up comics like the Avengers do not necessarily always follow what is shown in Iron Man comics (or other single hero comics). The main hero title always takes precedence. Got a problem? Take it up with the Marvel Continuity department.

Okay then, better question from someone that has actually read Fraction's god awful run.

Where the fuck are you getting the idea that Bleeding Edge was high maintenance? It's a nanomachine construct that can change into fucking cloth and various tools, weapons, and whinny-wacks directly connected to his body at a moment's notice, and for some reason, you think that he had to maintain it, somehow? He couldn't even remove it from his fucking body without an excruciatingly dreadful procedure and Reed Richard's help. The ONLY flaw that it had during Invincible Iron Man Volume 5 is the fact that General Babbage and the Hammers could deactivate it, and that was ONLY after Fear Itself where they forced him into a legal dead end where he had to wear a device that let them deactivate it when most convenient to their agenda.

There is one time he had to do repairs, but that was to his actual chest piece that drove his biology and thus the armor by proxy, not the actual suit itself.

Not him, but in Heroic age, Tony has a movieverse-style RT chest piece powering his body, which is still posthuman but no longer has extremis to run it. It keeps him alive. He has it before he builds the Bleeding Edge armor.

So when >>14796789 says he's repairing the chest piece, he means the thing in Tony's body, not the Bleeding Edge suit.

The big problem with the Buster suits is that they work off of set understandings about other heroes. But the Hulk can always get stronger and Tony's never actually seen Thor when he's not holding back. Thor going all out can shatter planets.

Tony's not capable of creating anything on their levels because he doesn't actually know their real power levels. About the only reason Veronica worked is because Banner helped design her.

No, they are not the same thing, and the chest piece, while protected, can only take so much of the Worthy Gargoyle wailing on it with a giant magic hammer. Unlike the suit, it's not made of nanomachines, so he had to make manual repairs.

Pretty sure he keeps that chest piece with the other armors he wears throughout the rest of 616.

Fun fact, said chest piece was in Pepper before it was in his chest.

Grey gargoyle. In fear itself he becomes one of the worthy and gets a gnarly hammer to beat Stark with.

And why do you keep calling it "my armor?" I actually not all that fond of Bleeding edge. I much prefer Neo Classic or Extremis.

I'm just pointing out that the idea that Bleeding Edge is a high maintenance suit is absolutely ludicrous given that it's literally a part of Stark's body, and is shown morphing into various materials and tools with ease.

Well Tony made a suit out of adamantium before, but the writers didn't really allow Tony to do anything with it. Then the idea was discarded. Never to be mentioned again.

You would think Tony as an engineer would come up solutions like that, but the writers only allow Tony to briefly come up to "par" with his enemies with the buster suits. Then push him back down to a traditional level.

The Model 42 gear. Super special liquid metal that he could control from lightyears away and could transform into any tool he needed.

It was meant for testing things, not for combat, so it's actually kind of a step down from the Bleeding Edge.

You sound salty. Stop feeding lies. The model 42 was superior so please stop trying to make it sound like it was a "step down" from "muh-bleeding edge". Don't shit on black and gold because you don't like it when the next writer does to Fractions suit what Fraction did to Ellis. Fraction did the same thing to Ellis when he took the ICONIC Extremis suit and made his own "special snow-flake look momma my suit is way better than that Extremis remember me as a writer!" suit.We're you even around when Iron Man fans trashed the Bleeding Edge suit when it first came out? The nickname was "Iron-Colossus". Completely trite and derivative. Your "muh-bleeding edge" is several generations old now. Time to move on.

This is the first Iron Man comic I ever read, pretty much around the time I learned how to read. But just because it's the first Iron Man armor I knew, doesn't mean I like it. It's nostalgic as hell, but I dislike most of those old designs for being drawn like any superhero costume, but with shiny shading so they can say it's metal. Doom's armor in this time period was a lot better since it looked a lot more like actual armor.

Iron Man getting new armor every couple of years only really started in the 90's. The classic red and gold lasted for like 30 years with only minor changes (like the temporary nose).

>>14800613
Course that was a pretty big change from the first two armors

>>14800599

I like that he's just chillin on a throne in there. Otherwise it looks pretty stupid putting a big transparent block for a chest.

>>14800331
A lot of his earlier armors were super thin. Paper-thin, but able to deflect bullets. Basically it was microscopic chainmail with microscopic motors knitted in, made stronger through a magnetic charge.

Pure technobabble bullshit, but the reason his arms and legs appear muscular in the armor is because the armor was literally stretched over his muscles.

Later models kept the muscled look because he liked it. They weren't wrapped around him anymore (I guess writers realized that he'd bruise without internal padding).

I actually miss that look. Don't get me wrong, the plated look is cool and all, but...

Oh man, you missed The Crossing. It was... It was something.

So, it turned out that Tony had been working for Kang the Conqueror all along, and that he's secretly an evil murderer. He kicks the Avengers' asses and they go back in time to get a 19 year old Tony Stark to help them bet old Tony because ???. Old Tony nearly kills New Tony, ironically by damaging his heart, then kills himself right after in a heroic sacrifice, so now Iron Man is a 19 year old kid. Oh, and Old Tony fucked the Wasp up so hard that she turned into a giant wasp girl.

New Tony turns out to be even smarter than Old Tony, being able to whip up a new armor pretty much from scratch right from the word 'go', And it's... this.

>Oh man, you missed The Crossing. It was... It was something.
Oh, yeah, I did read it later, but not when I was binge reading Iron Man.
I still can´t believe someone gave the ok for that.
I mean, even if you wanted to tell a story about how Tony was working for Kang all along(Cap Hydra comes to mind) and getting him replaced with a younger version of himself(young Xmen come to mind), as retardedly cheap those two ideas sound, you can still make a story that's at least consistent withing itself,even if still crap. This didn't even get to do that.

It makes the current Iron Man output look decent in comparison.

I don't like how his armors in recent comics just sort of appear out of hammer space and assemble onto his body from tiny pieces.

The Superior Iron Man Symbiote suit was cool though.

Iron Man armors should always have some bulk to them. They should always be a single piece when in operational form. They can open up to allow him in and out, but never fly on or off in lots of small pieces.

My problem with Iron Man 3 (barn scene) is why did the each piece of armor individually fly thousands of miles, THEN connect together on Tony. Doesn't it make more sense for the pieces to form together, fly as one suit, get within range of Tony, THEN reform around him??

It makes no sense to have the single Iron Man faceplate fly thousands of miles from the mid-west USA to MIAMI . Does it even have enough power to do that??? Don't they all draw power from the chest unit? So the Mk 42 should fly as one connected suit most of the time!

>>14804487
Each piece has a battery.

Yes, it makes more sense to form up. In fact, it does so at the climax, only to slam into a pole and fall apart.

We should probably keep in mind that Tony was experimenting with the suit. He didn't mean it as a complete model in and of itself, he basically built it around a gimmick to see if he could. He wasn't quite finished tinkering with it yet when the Mandarin thing came up.

>>14804487
Tony has an arc reactor in his chest.

Yet Mk42, for some reason, needs to charge up off a marine battery Tony found in the Mandarin mansion.

That's not quite true. Originally, he only put together the chestpiece and gauntlets. After five or so issues of perilous wacky hijinks, he finally put that monstrosity together.

Imagine having to sit through months of that, waiting to see how Teen Tony could be salvaged, seeing if he'd be able to prove a worthy successor to... himself, and have THAT greet you at the end of the tunnel. No wonder Marvel figured they needed to reboot the universe after that debacle.

No.

As an armor artist, he's fantastic. But did you actually read the run where he did the interiors and not just the covers? The art was abysmal.

A lot of the armors since Iron Man 3 are a little too organic looking, incorporating too many rounded shapes that conform to or resemble body contours a little too well. The more blocky designs of Iron Man 1 (and I think 2) along with Avengers are nicer.
