Avengers Movie Franchise Thread: Favorite Armor

[wataru]

So from the 3 movies starring Iron Man (Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Marvel's The Avengers), which is your favorite armor?

Mark I


Mark II


Mark III


Mark IV


Mark V


War Machine (modified Mark II)


Mark VI


Mark VII


I like the Mark V armor. It's not as durable or powerful as the Mark IV, VI or VII but it looks neat as hell. I dont even think it can fly...

[o.supreme]

Pardon my ignorance, but I figure this is as good a chance to have a burning question I've wanted to have answered. What exactly is the difference between the Mark III (from the end of IM) and Mark IV (seen at the beginning of IM2)?? I see only very subtle design differences when comparing the pictures. Until I started reading information about the film, and the toys when IM2 came out in 2010, I had no idea there was a difference other than perhaps how the suit assembles on and off Stark's Body? We never saw Stark put the mark VI on at the end of IM2, so I guess the platform on top of Stark Tower in Avengers is as good as any. Its been a long time since I've seen IM, but the only explanation I can think of is the Mark III was damaged beyond repair at the end from the battle with Iron Monger? -I know in the comics Stark has a hall of Armors (or at least he used to, could be something different now). He collects them like cars I guess. A different one for different purposes, some functional, and others not. Although seeing the mark VI underwater shows he didn't decide to abandon it after the damage it took at the end of IM2. I guess he dosen't always dispose of his suits after one battle. It just all feels kind of randomized what circumstances in the Movieverse motivate Stark to build new armor as opposed to repairing and upgrading already existing ones.

The Mark V is fun, and the Briefcase is great for old school comic fans. I went with the Mark VI however it seemed to have the coolest selection of weapons. I applaud the writers for not making IM outshine the rest of the Avengers too much, but I was hoping to see at least one cool weapon on the Mark VII that we hadn't seen before. I'm just hopnig to see a Hulk Buster in a future marvel film.

Besides the Mark III being totally thrashed, the Mark IV has some upgraded software and weapons. (the one-of lasers at the end). That's about it.

[HeiseiGodzilla117]

I think I'm going to abstain from voting because I have a tie. I like the Mark VI and Mark VII the most. It's mostly an aesthetic thing.

Mark VI

^ This this this.

Why no Iron Monger? I always thought it could be the basis for the Hulkbuster armor.

[wataru]

Iron Monger, while based on the Mark I armor isnt an Iron Man armor.

Now if someone wants to make an

In order of Favorite: Mark VI, Mark VII and Mark IV.

VI

It's just so sleek and cool looking. I love the triangle chest peice.

[HayesAJones]

Gonna echo Tyler and Dills and say Mark VI. Just looks really cool, and I prefer the triangle chest glowy-thing to the circle one.

I will admit to having a serious soft spot for the Mark I though. And the Mark V suitcase armor is cool as well.

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

I like the Mark VI and the Suitcase armor too. Abit off topic, but I have no idea how the Mark 2 defeated the Mark 3 in IM2.

[GotengoXGodzilla]

Abit off topic, but I have no idea how the Mark 2 defeated the Mark 3 in IM2.

Because Tony was drunk, and Rhodey wasn't.

My favorite armor is the Mark III. Gotta go with the classics.

[wataru]

The Mark II and Mark III arent all that different. Different metal alloy and more weapons on the Mark III.

Tony and Rhody went old school with fists and repulsors. It came down to the driver and since Tony was drunk, Rhody won.

Now if Tony had been sober and used all the weapons on the Mark III...

[Tyler]

Iron Monger, while based on the Mark I armor isnt an Iron Man armor.

And War Machine is?

[Berzerkgodzilla]

That's because it technically is an Iron Man Armor. I believe it's a modified Mark II

[TheSecondComing]

My favorite armor was the "Totally Unnecessary Armor" that broke down recently. It shielded the entire TK populace from having 17,000 different Avengers threads.

Seriously, what is this?

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

Mark VI first and then Mark VII. They're basically the same except the triangle chest piece. VII might have more weapons but was there anything really shown new with either of them?

I guess I'll make it a tie.

[wataru]

Mark VI had a greater energy output and the one-of lasers. Most likely faster, stronger. Mark VII far as I can tell was a modular heavier duty Mark V. Im sure theyre will be some talk about it's capabilities more on websites and shit.

[shinmattiathekaiju]

Mark II. His silver pattern is so fascinating.
