And I... am... Iron Man. ―Tony Stark's last words while wearing the armor. Iron Man's armor is a fictional powered exoskeleton appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is worn by comic book superhero Tony Stark when he assumes the identity of Iron Man. The first armor (which in the story, was created by Stark and Ho Yinsen), was designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, and first appeared, along with Tony Stark, in Tales of Suspense (March 1963).

In the fictional multiverse appearance of Stark's armor has radically changed over the years, either as a result of modifications made by Stark or specialized armors created for specific situations. In real life, it changed as different artists took over the series and decided to change it to what they wanted

First Appearance: Iron Man (vol. 4) #5 (March 2006) After being critically injured during a battle with a nanotech-enhanced foe, Stark injected his nervous system with an advanced nanotech-based weapon to save his own life. This fused Stark's armor to his body, allowing him to store the inner layers of the Iron Man armor in the hollows of his bones as well as control it through direct brain impulses. The Extremis enhancement has turned Stark into a cyborg, whereby the usage of his existing lockchip (a personal area networking implement implanted in his forearm) is directly integrated into his nervous system.[volume & issue needed]

In the Iron Man: The Inevitable storyline, it was shown that it's not only Stark's body and the interfacing undersheath that has self-healing properties. Even the Iron Man armor has the ability to self-heal and self-repair, presumably through the use of nanotechnology. The armor is also able to store power throughout its structure, indicating that instead of having main batteries mounted around the waist as in the older Iron Man armors, the Extremis armor incorporates distributed and decentralized energy storage.

After the entire Stark 'dataspine', the central data processing center which governed all, or at least the pertinent portion of Stark technology, was infected with a hyper-advanced, Skrull-developed computer virus during the Secret Invasion storyline, Stark lost the ability to use Extremis' interface functions and consequently the armor was rendered obsolete. For the during the 2009 World's Most Wanted storyline, Stark used older armors, such as the Heroes Return and Classic Red and Gold versions.

Argonauts Sometime after the Extremis transformation, during an attack by the new Super-Adaptoid, Stark realized he could command several armors at once. Building on this, and realizing the world was becoming an increasingly dangerous place, he decided to construct a team of Iron Men—hyper-advanced drones that would be under his direct mental command, just as his own armored body. Unfortunately, the Argonauts were abused and destroyed before they ever could serve for good.[volume & issue needed] They included:

Hypervelocity First Appearance: Iron Man: Hypervelocity (January 2007) This new iteration of the armor possesses enhanced repulsors, housed not in gloves but in high-strength manipulator waldoes (giving the armor somewhat longer arms than usual); multiple-mode bootjets that can operate both with and without oxygen intake; improved structural integrity for the armor; an improvedchameleon modeand asupercavitation spike, projecting upward from the back, which apparently creates a sort ofbubble" so that the armor can travel underwater at near-supersonic speeds. A massive amount of electrical energy is stored in a spinning, superconductive capacitor ring on the back.[volume & issue needed]

The most radical feature of this armor must be that its vastly increased computing power allows it to make a back-up of Stark's own mind, so that in the event of critical injury of the wearer, the armor can act as him, with all his knowledge, insight and experience. The effect is so complete that the armor, thus activated, referred to itself as Tony 2.0.[volume & issue needed]

After several hours of existence, the armor managed to develop a program that enabled it to function at hypervelocity - effectively thinking and moving at a much, much faster timeframe than everyone else.[volume & issue needed]

Note that this story is set before Extremis, though it was published afterwards

The Mark LXXXV (Mark 85) is Tony Stark's eighty-fifth, final and ultimate Iron Man Armor. The armor is equipped with enhanced nano-structure and is exceptionally more durable and efficient in combat than its base model the Mark L. The armor appeared in Avengers: Endgame as Tony's current suit in 2023.
