Iron Man’s New Era Is About Tony Stark’s Rage

The New Armor “Showcases Vulnerability and Desperation”

New Iron Man armour usually represents a baron upgrade for Tony . That was certainly the cause for his most late armors -his anti - magic Mysterium Suitand gigantic Sentinel Killer armour , which he look to have disassembled in the trailer above . However , the Improvised Iron Man armour is really imply to make Tony weak , embodying a sense of"vulnerability and desperation"that will see him fight for his life and incessantly improvise on the fly sheet . Ackerman explain :

This is something a very impudent person cook when all else has failed and what comes next ca n’t . He ’s not in a cave , but he is building it out of scraps . It ’s " Improvised " in the sense of " Improvised Explosive equipment . " And it ’s run to include a key visual and tactical element that we rarely , if ever , see with Iron Man armour . … And because he ’s Iron Man , he ’s going to iterate on the Improvised armor . A lot . And as circumstances are locomote to very quickly require .

The Improvised Iron Man suit has a definite Steampunk intention , and Ackerman also confirms that the new Iron Monger works via hydraulics . Why Tony is using a less knock-down causa when he has so many others - including the unbreakable Mysterium Armor - is a mystery so far , but one potential response is that the newIron Monger has some kind of ascendancy over electronics(as Ackerman suggests , an Iron Man vulnerability that ’s seldom step . )

From focusing his repulsor rays into a cutting vane with the Bleeding Edge armor to creating an muscularity spear and harbor withhis anti - Carnage Dragon - Slayer armour , to being force to crusade with sword by Mojo as the Iron Shogun , Tony has a surprising amount of experience with swordplay . Interestingly , even alt - universes like Peach Momoko’sDemon Warshave turned Tony into a swordsman , in Momoko ’s case the Iron Samurai .

Iron Man has no shortage of unbelievable suits of armor which means he has no shortage of powers , including one that even the Avengers do n’t know about .

Tony ’s joining to swordplay speaks to the inspiration that turned him into Iron Man in the first place . Since he was a youngster , Tony Stark has been haunt with King Arthurand the Knights of Camelot . The Iron Man armor was mock up as a modern - Clarence Shepard Day Jr. knight , and Tony literally got his dream in David Michelinie , Bob Layton and John Romita Jr. ’s iconicIron Man # 150 , whereTony meets King Arthur and is even knighted into his service .

Now , with his back to the bulwark and opposition approaching from every corner , Iron Man is once again strike back on the knight metaphor to protect everything he ’s built , with Ackerman lay claim he’s"in pure survival mode from leap . “Iron Manusually face each unexampled challenge with the consummate suit built for the occasion , but as Roxxon and AIM attack at his weakest , he ’ll have to put his faith into his ability to improvise - that , and his mammoth unexampled sword .
