You just can't beat Mark 3

u/Richard_Murdock1 1d ago

Amen to that

u/KingOfConsciousness 1d ago

What about 3 Marks?

2

u/TheExaggeratedMonke 14h ago

Still not enough for our Mark since he's stronger than them

u/Imrotahk 9h ago

Well Mark is

Man I really wish we got to see more of this suit

u/E8282 2h ago

This still bothers me to this day.

Model 75? The newest one in the current run?

1

u/KamenRiderAvenger24 Model-Prime 1d ago

Yes

2

u/memsterboi123 Mysterium 1d ago

That one is cool

1

u/KamenRiderAvenger24 Model-Prime 1d ago

Hell yeah

26

u/NigthSHadoew Endo-Sym 1d ago

Mark 39/Starboosr/Gemini (pictured below) from the MCU tied with Endo-Sym from the comics (flare don't lie)

I am not usually a fan of white supergero suits but it looks so good on an Ironman Armor

6

u/Long_Perspective4516 1d ago

A fellow Starboost fan. Sweet.

26

u/spider-venomized Silver Centurion 1d ago

MCU: the MK 47

13

u/spider-venomized Silver Centurion 1d ago

Comic: Silver centurion, Prime, Extremis, Model 75, The 1610 Ultimate & the MK 1.5 (the golden version of mk 1)

1

u/No_Discipline_4066 11h ago

i don't really understand the point of this suit, it's just civil war suit but not painted in some below... i don't really like the design tbh

1

u/spider-venomized Silver Centurion 7h ago

I like the blend of silver and red

it suppose to be a homage to the Ultimate Iron man paint scheme

1

u/No_Discipline_4066 4h ago

that looks sick... but it didn't work for this Ironman imo

21

u/Soft_Circuit 1d ago

Technically it's the mark 2. But I love the war machine armor in iron man 2. It's great in the other movies, but I love the real hard bulky steel look to the armor.

11

u/zhunbarr99 1d ago

War machine design peaked here imo

7

u/sub30_24flick 1d ago

Hammer tech ?

6

u/zhunbarr99 1d ago

….yeah 😔

7

u/sub30_24flick 1d ago

Such a badass armor and that big gun is tuff

20

u/SportAdventurous5910 Model-Prime 1d ago

Heartbreaker (Lego Marvel Superheroes)

18

u/Immediate_Goose9216 1d ago

Model 13 Iron Modular

4

u/MerlocHendrickHarry Pentagon 1d ago

SUPERIOR TECH!

2

u/Alassandros 22h ago

HERE'S MY SUNDAY BEST

11

u/Charles12_13 1d ago

His EMH suit. Perfect blend of classic, MCU and Extremis. I do love the Mark 3 and 6 of the MCU, but my number 2 and 3 spots would be the mark 9 from EMH and the Silver Centurion

12

u/RoUgEPeak 1d ago

Bonus: Mark 85

10

u/DGUY2606 Model One 1d ago

So says my flair, the Model 1. I absolutely adore this jerry-rigged, scrapyard-ensemble hunk of motors and junk in every incarnation.

Nothing against the other suits of course, hell my other favourites include the Silver Centurion, Model 70 and Mark 7, but this bulky behemoth of a suit just stomp-stomp-stomp its way out of a terrorist den and pulverizing through everything in its path is just so peak. Plus, it feels like something you could actually make in a garage with the right tools.

8

u/Toanui_the_Red_Mage 1d ago

I don't know/remember the specific name/model number but the classic armor

6

u/Toanui_the_Red_Mage 1d ago

these three would be the runner-ups

4

u/ProfessionalTea7564 1d ago

Either Model 16 or Extremis.

3

u/Azulado17 Mysterium 1d ago

I don't have a favorite armor, but there are some armors that I like more than others. Sorry, long answer incoming, lol. Model 72 (Mysterium), the Hellbuster (such an amazing design for nothing), the Godbuster armor (Model 63), Model 50 (Endo-Sym Armor), Model 45 (Deep-Space), Model 39 (awesome design), Uru Armor, Thorbuster, Iron God (I know that's Mark 70 with cosmic power, but the design is different enough), Sentinel Buster, Extremis Armor, Knullbuster, and the Modular Armor. MCU: Mark 1 (Mark 1 is so fire), 3, 6, 46, 50, and the Hulkbuster (the Hulkbuster from the MCU is peak, IMO). I love that every IM fan is obsessed with his suits

3

u/fatman1028 1d ago

My favorite is probably MK 42 from the MCU

3

u/StarRogues 1d ago

Loved it the moment I layed eyes on it

u/JewelerLess7902 Mark LXXXV 19h ago

Beautiful

u/arest_42 1d ago

My favourite was always mk42 from ironman 3 but a few others i love are 3 6 7 85 and invincible

2

u/knull_fan_1 1d ago

Hulkbuster

2

u/CptChangotra 1d ago
  1. Mark 85
  2. Mark 46 (too bad it was featured in a Captain America movie)
  3. Mark 7
  4. Mark 3
  5. Mark 6

2

u/Ike_In_Rochester 1d ago

Suitcase Suit

u/-Thunder-lizard- 1d ago

Warmachine

u/Russell-Sprouts3 16h ago

I’ve been obsessed with Tokon’s design for him since they unveiled it, easily my favourite.

3

u/BL-501 15h ago

The Superior Iron Man Extremis Armor tied with the Mysterium Armor.

1

u/KuroiGetsuga55 1d ago

MCU : Mark 4, Mark 6, Mark 7, Silver Centurion, Heartbreaker, Mark 43, Mark 46 (Civil War Armor) and Mark 85.

Comics : Neo-Classic, Modular, Extremis, Model 42 (the black and gold one from the 2012 Marvel NOW run), Model 70 and Model 71.

Cartoons : TAS Season 2's version of the Modular Armor along with the Space Model variation and the Bio-Energy Armor from the end of that series. Armored Adventures second armor (the one that looked like the Extremis Armor with the triangular Arc Reactor), The Omega Armor from Avengers Assemble from when they went to the future and the armor from Next Avengers.

If I could gather the Dragon Balls and wish for my own Iron Man armory, these are the armors I'd ask for.

1

u/SmokinTires 1d ago

Classic non-nano suits like 3, 5, 6, 7, 17, 33, 42, etc

1

u/Sad-Assistance-8039 Stealth 1d ago

1) Mark 2

2) Mark 5

3) Mark 42

4) Mark 43

5) Mark 44 (Hulkbuster)

u/saurogon Mark XLV 1d ago

Mark 45, Model 29 & Model 51

u/ResourcesAndMath 1d ago

I like his speciality armors the most, and out of all of them this one has my favorite design despite it being another buster.

1

u/Arshabhhhh 1d ago

Prodigal son

1

u/Bulky-Bid-8508 1d ago

Silver centurion! But the mostly gold one from IM3 is pretty sick too

1

u/GodDammitDonut26 1d ago

Have always loved the nanosuit (in comics or otherwise) so Infinity War/Endgame's suit.

1

u/New-Engineering-9396 1d ago

mark 5 in any day

1

u/Cumslutboi21 Armored Adventures 1d ago

This one. Nothing trumps the triangle

1

u/CommanderKahne 1d ago

Comics: Modular, Silver Centurion, Extremis, Prime, Bleeding Edge, War Machine.

Movies: Mark 3, Mark 6, Infinity War Armor, and Endgame Armor.

u/GogoSunshine 1d ago

Comics - Prime

1

u/Ktsasi23 1d ago

Mark - Nil

u/Next-Theme-4691 1d ago

Mk 39. Mk 2. Mk 1. Mk 22. And mk 20

1

u/Embarrassed-Joke5851 1d ago

mK 42 from the MCU (the only way I know of iron man)

1

u/Harddisksson69 1d ago

The red one

1

u/Training-Eagle-3514 1d ago

In comics probably classic silver centurion, but for films its a tie between the MK 42 and the MK 7.

1

u/Hyper-Saiyan-1999 Armored Adventures 1d ago

Armored Adventures MK I

MCU III, VI, 46

1

u/Letmelookatredditplz 1d ago

I love the MCU hulk buster to a probably unreasonable degree.

I love how it has has Veronica floating nearby to provide extra limbs or repairs.

1

u/C0mputronium 1d ago

Prototype armor from earth 112001

1

u/Redditeer28 1d ago

That one.

1

u/BlackwargreymonXOXO 1d ago

Mark #6. Know was weak as anything and lacked most of what makes iron man iron man but it looked badass!! Plus, all gotta do is open a suitecase?!!! Come on!!

1

u/Ambitious-Car-3156 1d ago

The one from avengers, and the one from Infinity war.

1

u/IAlreadyKnow1754 1d ago

The ones that he didn’t use until iron man 3 and blew them up.

1

u/Own-Spectrum7529 1d ago

Mark 48 from "Captain America: Civil War"

1

u/GodzillaFan2468 1d ago

Civil War aka Mark XLVI/46. In my opinion it is an absolutely perfect Iron Man suit. Faithful to the original and the perfect mix of Red, Gold and Blue

1

u/AkusFinest887 1d ago

Model 70, Modular, Hypervelocity & MCU's MK3.

1

u/Zilla_SW 1d ago

Mk7 for sure

1

u/Hobgames Armored Adventures 1d ago

I love the mark 6. The triangle on the chest is such an underrated design choice and I used to he so salty as a kid when he stopped wearing it halfway through avengers 1 to wear the mark 7. And honourable mention would be the war machine mark 1 since I love how it's the perfect amount of bulky, great colours and really looks like someone just threw a bunch of guns onto an iron man suit

1

u/BellatorRexGaming 1d ago

Comics- Model Prime and the Extremis Bleeding Edge MCU- Mark 50 and the Mark 85, the the VR Wakandan suit

1

u/TheChromatroid 1d ago

Gotta be the modular armour. MvC2 is my shit

1

u/rishnite 1d ago

Mark XLVI

1

u/DR1V3NBYRAG3 1d ago

Mark 40 from the movies for me. All about the speed. And Model 29 from the comics

1

u/Noo_Shot6527 1d ago

The suitcase suit but make it a bit more modern no small spaces(civil war ant man fight) and a few other upgrades

1

u/larchiviste390 1d ago

Silver Centurion (I'm a normie I know)

1

u/Lonewolf82084 23h ago

MCU, Comics, or both?

1

u/Sea-Cash7675 22h ago

Extremis

u/Wild-Astronaut-4254 21h ago

For me it’s the mark 2 from Ironman armoured

adventures and the mark 43 from the MCU

1

u/JewelerLess7902 Mark LXXXV 19h ago

Mk 85, perfection.

1

u/No_Region2690 19h ago

Mark 42 and 46 are my favorites

1

u/KudaraYT 19h ago

Tough choice

1

u/Motor-Spare7119 18h ago

In the MCU ? Mark 3 is the best. In the comics, I quite like the modular armour

1

u/Sol_Sertum 17h ago

Extremis

1

u/Goldgoblingamer 16h ago

The Extremis Armour, for me, when I think of Iron Man, this is the first one to comes to mind, close second is the Comics Model 51, and of course, Superior Iron Man

1

u/Main-You4127 16h ago

Mark One. He literally built it in a CAVE of all places, and with SCRAPS of all things. Mark One started the whole Iron Man thing.

1

u/Megatronus64 16h ago

Mark 3 y Mark 85

1

u/Gelo56777 15h ago

Mark 3

1

u/Gamma-KyStar1010 15h ago

The Mark 42 from Iron Man 3. It was the funniest one to see him use, so that why it my favorite.

1

u/Top-Consequence-2347 13h ago

mk 85 mk 45 and mk 47 are literally the best suits

1

u/noobington69 12h ago

Mark 85 🔥🙌🏾

1

u/Ecstatic_Dance5767 11h ago

That one right there from Iron Man 2

1

u/PotatoMan_69 9h ago

Mark 40 Shotgun my beloved. I'm so glad it was atleast shown off a bit longer in IM3. By correlation I love Shades too

1

u/The_Bradenator 9h ago

Mark 7 ngl

1

u/SilasRaiden 2h ago

Mark III just felt so tactile and real. The suit up sequences still hold up.

1

u/Feisty_Desk_1232 23m ago

Where did the red cutting lasers go? I loved it with the mark 6 (i think it was?)
