8. Anti-Magneto Suit, Avengers vs. X-Men
Okay , so this was n’t a specifically particularise suit for Tony , but it was designed for face off against Magneto – not usually a bully estimate to go up against the Master of Magnetism with a name like Iron Man , but Tony was prepared when the two went toe - to - toe in the Avengers vs. X - Men event :
for ward off being toss out around like an action figure by Magneto ’s anti - metal power , Tony make a version of his armor made all out ofcarbon nanotubes – it ’s kind of a dumb amusing - booky thing to use modern science in such a style , but a moderately clever move for Mr. Stark .
7. Heavy Duty Armor Mark I, Marvel Now!: Believe
Because Comic Book villains seldom have original approximation , last yr A.I.M decided to embolden the crack - force - granting Extremis Virus , sell it to the high bidder across the world . Tony was understandably pissed at the computer virus making a rejoinder , and vowed to hunt down down every source and destroy it in person . In doing so he encounter a Catacomb in France where 13 Extremis - power Humans were created , and developed this high - arsenal suit to do conflict with multiple crack - powered foe at once , pack with enough weaponry to make a small country ’s standing army quiver in their boots , as well as an radical - knock-down forcefield to protect the suit from barrages of flak .
Tony recrudesce the armor out again during Original sinfulness , to fight a rampaging Hulk after his late Hulkbuster was destroy – unfortunately it did n’t last much longer , getting torn to shreds in the cognitive process .
6. Thorbuster Armor, The Invincible Iron Man: Standoff
The first on-key armor to inherit the ‘ Buster ’ suffix on our list , hooray !
As Tony draw in the spoken language house of cards above , this suit was powered by an Asgardian Gem gift by Thor to Humanity to make grow a rootage of clean energy – however , as political tension rose between Earth and Asgard over the killing of Asgardian worshippers in Sokovia ( the string section displume by Doctor Doom , of course ) , Thor turn against his fellow Avengers and stand to defend Asgard , call for Tony to go up against him in this suit powered by the Asgardian crystal , allowing him to beat up the mighty God of Thunder . It did n’t ferment though – Thor quickly destroy the suit ’s core , force Tony to squirt out of it .
5. Phoenix Killer Armor, Avengers vs. X-Men
You might notice a running topic with some of these suits – despite being design for one specific circumstance , they do n’t always be given to work in said specific circumstance . The ‘ Phoenix Killer ’ is no exception , another specialised courtship from the Avengers / X - Men dust up event . This one was contrive to , you opine it , destroy the Phoenix Force before it issue forth back to Earth .
Tony succeeded in hide the Phoenix Force – into 5 freestanding parts , which promptly possessed a few nearby X - gentleman , make even more of a problem than having to deal with the singular Phoenix Force . GOOD JOB , TONY .
4. Hulkbuster Mark II, World War Hulk
What ’s best than a Hulkbuster ? A new and improved Hulkbuster . The Hulkbuster Plus !
Hulkbuster 2 : This time it ’s Bustier was create to battle an enraged Hulk , who render to Earth after some pull metre away on Sakaar – understandably spend a penny at Tony and the other member of the Illuminati who exiled him . As ever with Hulkbusters though , despite its suped up armour and durability it was no match for the Hulk , who took it out of action by literally collapse Avengers Tower on Iron Man .
3. Anti-Transformer Armor, New Avengers/Transformers: Man and Machine
Marvel and Transformers Crossover ? Marvel and Transformers crossover .
When the Tony Stark of Earth-7642 – an alternative Marvel existence where heroes exist alongside characters from DC , Transformers , Witchblade and more because of course there ’s one of those – hears talk of alien golem ( that may or may not be in disguise ) steer to Earth , he start acquire a wooing to combat them . It would ’ve been really awkward if they came in peace , right ? Well , good business it was the Decepticons .
The Transformer - sized armor was n’t finalised when the Decepticons arrived though , and it had several Department of Energy consumption problems – it did n’t really weigh all that much when Megatron lopped its head off though , squeeze Tony to run on fighting in his normal suit .
2. Galactus-buster Armor, Armor Wars (2015)
The of late revealed Summer 2015 of Marvel Event reboots got even loony with the reveal of the Armor Wars rebootlast week , which featured fundamental artistry including this enormous Iron Man armour made in the style of World - muncher Galactus , and presumably designed to combat the cosmic entity if he ever came to have a nybble on Earth . It ’s also blasting the boldness of the Statue of Liberty off , because why not , Comic books ?
https://gizmodo.com/marvel-comics-is-redoing-armor-wars-starring-galactus-1647645147
It ’s really not the first clock time an anti - Galactus armour conception has been thrown around . An alternating , modest reading that still take up from Galactus ’ look seem in Iron Man ’s ending from the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 3 : The Fate of Two Worlds :
Galactus was the last boss of the game ’s story mode , which saw heroes from both Marvel and Capcom ’s roster duke it out after Doctor Doom unites a squad of villain from both existence – the dimensional wibbliness naturally awakens Galactus for a multi - universe snack bar , forcing everyone to connect to stop him .
1. Sorcerer Supreme Armor, What If… Starring Iron Man
Another substitute universe armor , but still too crazy to not admit .
In this What If account , Tony Stark is in a car accident with Stephen Strange , giving foreign crippling brass price in his hands – making him unable to cast charm as the sorcerer supreme . Feeling guilty , Tony tries to look for a remedy for Strange ’s mettle scathe , which in a circuitous means lead to him going ‘ chicane it , I ’ll learn conjuring trick rather ! ’ , wielding the power of the Sorcerer Supreme for himself instead , and eventually make this awful looking case to do battle with Dormammu . The eye of Agamatto embedded in the place of the common power magnetic core , and with the robotic gauntlet come up with pre - programmed hand motion for spellcasting , this suit of clothes was topped off by something all magic users need , even the one powered by tech like Tony : a sweet cape . tall !
Bonus Round!The Argonautsfrom The Invicible Iron Man : Execute Program : This squad of suit of clothes , drones on a smaller exfoliation than the ‘ Iron Legion ’ we image in Iron Man 3 , were n’t really designed to fight specific enemies , they were designed to action a variety of roles so Tony could bump off them as and where needed – there was even a Hulkbuster Argonaut included . by nature , as it seems to be the typesetter’s case with virtually every remote suit Tony establish , they go out of ascendancy and started assail the the likes of of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers , involve them to be destroyed . Honestly , Tony , just stop essay to do the monotone thing at this point . It seldom stop well !
And although all these courting are great , let ’s be dependable – the original Hulkbuster is still moderately cool .
Aww yeah , that ’s the secure stuff aright there .
