Iron Man
Equipment
Iron Man Armor
Iron Man's primary powers come from his
armored suit.
Suiting up the Iron Armor
The armor used to require several machines to put on the suit, in a
lengthy process. Later, this was changed to having it in a suitcase,
which shortened the suiting up time, but was not very effective on the
battlefield. However, recently, it has been shown that Stark can hold
the armor within himself, and use it when needed, and spring into action
in mere seconds.
Superhuman Strength
He is capable of lifting up to 100 tons when wearing his armor and
can achieve higher levels of strength when powered by a sufficient
source.
Superhuman Speed
Even when not traveling for extended distances, the armor enables the wearer to move and react at high speeds.
Flight
The armor can typically reach speeds in excess of Mach 8, in recent
comics however Iron Man has been depicted as able to reach orbital
velocities (5 miles per second) and up to speeds that can outrun black
holes. Use of the jet boots provide enough power to lift a load of about
500 tons.
The armor is powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical
batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption
as a fuel source. Not to mention the arc reactor that also powers the
suit.
The armor is also able to absorb and convert nearby or fare away
energy sources, such as heat or kinetic energy or energy from the planet
itself into electricity, or even drain energy directly into the
batteries for recharge.
Self-Contained Life-Support System & Environmental Protection
The armor can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or
underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against
radiation.
Magnetism
The armor can generate magnetic fields to pull or push metal objects at will.
Onboard Computer
The armor has an internal onboard computer operating system that aids
Stark in providing strategies, background information on opponents,
surroundings, the status of the suit, and prevents a lock on from
targeting systems.
Sensor Array
Known sensors include radar/lidar, night vision, and
physiological/medical scans that allow Stark to take and monitor the
vitals of other people, including heart and brain scans. These scans
also provided Stark with real-time personal physiological data. They are
also capable of an all-environmental scan for atmospheric content or
life forms--including astral energy projections.
Override
When required, armor systems including strength amplification,
durability amplification, and repulsor intensity can be greatly
increased, by bypassing safety circuits and limiters. However, there is a
chance that this can result in a complete system failure of the armor.
An example of this mode is when Iron Man easily lifted a 16,000 ton
Nuclear Reactor, and flew into the sky and threw it into the sea. It
seems that he utilized this resource on the Hulk once, as the armor ends
up completely inert [58]. The range of the Override can be controlled
as only reaching his very limit and staying at it for a long time will
cause a system failure. This range goes from a safe 800% to 3200%, up to
a very dangerous 5000%.
Crystallized Iron Armor
The armor has evolved from a bulky iron suit to a molecularly aligned
matrix of crystallized iron enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of
other metals like titanium, creating a shell that is pliable, yet
capable of amazing resilience and protection.
Enhanced Durability
His armor is very durable, capable of withstanding tremendous amounts
of punishment. It can withstand high caliber bullets with ease. He can
also withstand rockets, missiles, torpedoes, high powered lasers, and
such, taking little to no damage. Future armors were fully resistant
against electricity, fire, heavy impacts, energy blasts, take zero
Kelvin and up to the Suns temperatures, even some of Thor's attacks(see
Thorbuster). The suit can withstand almost unlimited kinetic and thermal
impact, as well as most forms of radiation thanks to its refractory
coating. The armor can survive anything short of a nuclear explosion at
ground zero. The suit automatically protects its wearer when he enters
an intrinsically hostile environment, such as outer space or deep sea.
The armor even has specialized circuitry that guards against telepathic
attacks. Tony is very confident in his suit's defensive abilities, when
he was caught in a nuclear explosion, he was only thinking about women
and completely forgot about what was happening around him.
Energy shielding that can protect the user from harm. It is also
capable of reflecting attacks and staying mobile. At 2% power, the
shield is strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion.
Weapons
Repulsor Rays
The armor's primary energy weapon. A
particle beam weapon, standard
equipment in the palm gauntlets; can repel physical and energy-based
attacks, traveling as a single stream or as a wide-field dispersal. It's
damage potential is extremely lethal, from being able to go through 2
inches of steel like paper to blasting a hole through a mountain. They
can be powered up to make a larger beam or a Full Form
Repulsor Ray,
which does 360 degrees of attacks. The power of the Repulsor Beams can
range from the basic ones such as the one from the Mark 3, which fires 2
gigawatt beams, to the beams on a much further model of the suit such
as the Model 27 which fires beams in the high petawatt region, but those
require a little assistance from outside.
Unibeam
A powerful searchlight, capable of projecting beams in virtually
every light spectrum. Also used as a powerful weapon that can destroy
anything in its path. It fires a boosted form of the Monobeam with some
Arc Reactor energy backing it up.
Lasers
Standard lasers that can be used as weapons or for welding.
Pulse Bolts
Extremely powerful plasma discharges that propagate in strength over distance, but implode if they get overloaded.
Energy Blade
Based on the same design Tony Stark used to build
Captain America's
energy shield, this laser sword, emitted from his left arm, could also
be flattened into a shield on his hands, or spread over the entire armor
to encase the armor in a protective covering.
Pulse Barrage
Pulse Barrage is one of Iron Man's standard long range attack.
Because of its extremely low energy consumption, Pulse Barrage can be a
very effective attack. an upgraded Red Pulse Barrage has the ability to
penetrate through foes hitting others behind them, and the ability to
ricochet off walls hitting more targets.
Smart Missiles
The
Smart Missile is one that can target the weak points of a
structure, object, or foe to inflict maximum damage with minimal
payload.
Tri-beam
This version of the Unibeam runs on direct power from the Arc
Reactor, draining it's energy rapidly if not fully charged. It has
considerable knockback.
Multi-beam
As the name implies, the Multi-beam can fire multiple energies at the
same time. Generally used with the energy that Tony Stark has absorbed.
Pentabeam
The Pentabeam has microwave lensing that allows for directed beams of
high joule electrons, protons, acoustic energy, and neutrons.
Omnibeam
Rather then only firing beam type attacks, the Omnibeam can generate
heats at 25232 degrees Fahrenheit, extremely powerful lights causing
irreversible blindness in the enemy, and emit ultrasonic attacks capable
of stunning even superhumanly durable foes and even causing
disintegration. The other way the Omnibeam is fired, is by absorbing or
draining any energy in Iron Man's vicinity, drawing it into his chest
reactor, and converting it into billions of petawatts and firing it.
Hyper-velocity Impact
The program Hyper-velocity allows Tony to think and move at a much
faster time frame then everyone else, allowing for quicker attacks.
Also, it could create an electrical bubble if Tony is going fast enough.
Plasma Discharge
A plasma discharge is given off when the suit comes into contact with Vibranium.
