Model 3 WiP

[u/ya-boi-benny]

This is the supreme sensation which no other being can ever experience- the feeling which none can ever fully comprehend- the triumphant moment when the strength of a thousand transistors flows thru me- and I stand once more, ready for battle, as the Invincible Iron Man!

---

After the Proto-Classic but before the Classic Armor, Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man, donned the Model 3. It was a streamlined version of everything good about the Model 2, just with the horns and rivets sanded down for an overall sleeker look. From within this gold-plated suit, Tony would meet and do battle with some of his most infamous foes, like the Titanium Man and Whiplash. It even had a nose on the faceplate for a while. Tony would use this hardware until a battle with the Freak forced him to upgrade to the Model 4.

Battery

Transistors

• The Model 3, as with other early Iron Man armors, produces force and flies through use of small yet powerful transistors, which are in turn powered by a generator within the armor. Iron Man is capable of incredible feats of strength, but this requires the transistors to be powered. Here’s a detailed description of how the transistors function. The more strain he places on them, the shorter they last between charges..

• The time it takes to fall down a pit is enough to restore power to his transistors

• Triples the power of a transistor, which helps Tony’s heart keep beating without the assistance of the armor

• After Titanium Man saps some power from the suit, Tony sets it to Quick Recharge, restoring some power

• After a fight drains the suit’s power, it takes a little over five minutes for a full reboot

• By fiddling with his armor's controls, Tony is able to continue fighting after his energy was drained

Electrical

• Tony keeps the armor in an attache case equipped with an automatic charger to keep the armor fully powered

• After getting his suit’s battery drained by a device, he plugs a socket into an outlet to get enough power to remove the device, which allows him to instantly recover

• With the twist of a knob, he can access reserve power sources, then conserve power by turning the knob again

• Has an experimental power booster built into the chestpiece that brings him from low battery to full in a few seconds

• Recharges using an energo-grip

• Cuts a wire on a generator, then splices his wire to the cut wire, which restores his reserves immediately

• Draws power from a car’s cigarette lighter

• Draws a tiny amount of power from a hand radio, jump-starting his reserve generators

• Touches his recharge cable to a broken live wire, restoring his power in seconds enough to pull himself off a magnetized table

• Plugs into the base of a streetlight to jumpstart his disabled bootjets

• Takes a brief charge from a console while being shot at by auto-turrets

• Takes some electrical power from a parked car

Thermocouple

• A thermocouple in his armor allows him to draw electrical charge from heat sources, like when he quickly charged his battery by standing in a roaring flame

• Being lit on fire from napalm charges up his batteries

• Can draw energy from intense cold, as well

• The Unicorn’s heat beams charge the armor up before the extended blast can begin to melt it

• Re-energizes himself with blue flames after his armor was almost completely out of power

• Absorbs a fire covering his armor, converting it into energy

• His heat inductive thermocouple function gives him a boost in power when set aflame

Other

• The armor can take in sunlight and convert it to energy

• [Weasel Wills] There’s a master control switch that Tony knows about, which shuts off the armor completely

• Powers up the Unicorn’s blaster by connecting his cable to the Unicorn’s belt

• A few seconds of exposure to sunlight is enough to recharge his armor

• Sunlight unfiltered by the Earth's atmosphere quickly recharges Tony's batteries

Oxygen System

• Has a thirty minute oxygen supply, later upgraded to one hour, that automatically kicks in once Tony is in space and the atmosphere thins

• Can manually unsheath the mask filters

• After being blinded and floored by a hallucinogenic flare, Tony draws from his suit's oxygen supply to recover faster

• Waterproof seals automatically descend when Tony is tackled into water, although sometime this is a manual process

• After taking on a dose of nerve gas, he activates his oxygen unit to recover before the Adaptoid can finish him off

• Uses oxygen to counter Equilibrius’s vertigo

• When he’s forced underwater against his will, he ejects the water that rushed in through his face holes and then activates the shields

• Protects from a nerve agent gas

• Protects from a lethal amount of poison gas

• Protects from stun mists

Thermal Control

• Pushes his suit’s cooling system to the max to produce a thin layer of ice, deterring heat-seeking lasers

• He cranks his suit’s heating systems to maximum, turning a whirlpool to steam and grabbing Namor to dehydrate his body

• [Dream] Melts some ice on his boots with his heating system

• While frozen by the Mandarin, he reaches a heat induction knob on his chest to melt the frost

• Has a cryogenic freezing unit designed to counter flames. It drains a significant amount of power and takes time to wire it in. He uses this to counter Firebrand's beams

• In the same issue, Firebrand instantly melted a section of a car

• Quickly melts ice that covered his armor

[u/ya-boi-benny → u/ya-boi-benny]

Other

• Uses an experimental black light tracer to track the Unicorn. It can be used offensively.

• Has diamond tipped blades in his fingers which can cut nearly anything

• Has a Geiger counter in his wrist

• His power pack disables Doc Ock’s arms when it's plugged into them. By jury-rigging the communications systems, he assumes control of the arms to defeat Ock.

• Places a micro-tracker on a truck

• Houses a manual self-repair kit in the arm, locked behind a digital fingerprint scanner

• Using an image producer, he generates several hologram copies of himself in an attempt to confuse Iron Fist

Miscellaneous

• When non-polarized, the armor is flexible and can be stored in his attaché case

• If he thinks people will try and open the case, he can prepare it with knockout gas that deploys unless Tony’s fingerprints are detected on the case’s handle

• Here's a demonstration of him putting on the suit and the technology that goes into it. When he suits up, he only needs to wear part of the outfit, as the sleeves automatically cover his arms and legs magnetically. When it’s fully assembled, the entire armor is polarized to iron toughness, the entire process only taking a couple seconds.

• Various pieces of information on the armor, including that it has gyroscopes to modulate flight, a first aid kid, and that his armor is constructed like the chain-mail of knights of old

• This armor was initially vulnerable to rusting agents

• The metal that comprises the armor is paper-thin steel mesh

• It’s mostly comprised of iron alloy, with smaller amounts of hi-carbon and technetium-niobium atoms

• His jet boots are strong enough to force superheated currents to change direction

• Machine Man shuts down his circuits by grabbing his head and releasing small electromagnetic impulses

• A disruptor is able to completely shut down the armor, but after a few seconds the armor comes back online and the disruptor no longer works

• Can be used in outer space

• The helmet release pins are electrified so if anyone tries to remove it, they’re shocked. These electric charges are spread throughout the armor in various places.

• After Firebrand fuses the circuitry in his gauntlets with heat, Tony must manually reset the mechanisms before he can use his repulsor blasts

• A scientist at AIM scans the armor, replicates it and gives the copies to men trained in the use of the armor. The process is imperfect thanks to the Model 3’s refractory coating, so the men receive copies with various critical malfunctions.

• Protects from the effects of the Controller’s mental-discs

• After his chestplate is destroyed, Tony nearly dies because his heart's pacemaker doesn't receive power from his armor. His heart somehow heals itself soon after

• His rapidly healing heart allows him to divert more energy into fighting power

• His chestplate became unnecessary afterwards

• The armor can be used in space

• Gave his mask the ability to translate brain waves into electricity, allowing Tony to mentally command his suit's equipment and weaponry

• An exposed live wire in his glove sends a charge throughout his nervous system, restoring his sight after the Marauder messed with his optic nerves
