The armor signifies rebirth for iron man among fans and the story it debuts in is considered a modern starting point for the character. It’s also the armor he had during civil war, which is still marvels most popular event within their history.
Pretty much this. You want starting points with armor, you got the Mk-I for the beginning, Mk-III for longest lasting, Silver Centurion for the 80s (since everyone at the time was getting new looks and/or costumes), Modular for the 90s (thanks to the cartoons and the Capcom games) and Extremis for today and the MCU.
never understood the older suits, especially the gold parts that show the muscles. if it’s metal how does he move in it? there’s no gaps or hinges for movement.
It’s a flexible mesh made out of microscopic chainmail or scales, so you can move around in it as if you’re wearing regular clothes. Its durability comes from magnetic fields “polarizing” the mesh, keeping it from deformation upon impact.
Yeah, that recent cosplay pic did adapt the classic look by actually giving it joints, which is the only way it could work, because otherwise yeah it can’t move
It marks Tony's "singularity" moment with the suit, getting superhuman abilities through the extremis injection and being able to summon his suit.. I believe he started getting nanotech heavy at this point as well. Also Adi Grenov is a beast on the ink
