Marvel Reveals New Look at Tony Stark’s “Improvised Iron Man” Armor

by

As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of comic book adventures under my belt, I must say that this upcoming “Improvised Iron Man” era has me genuinely excited! Tony Stark has always been a character close to my heart, and watching him evolve through his various armors has been a thrilling ride.

Tony Stark is transitioning from the Invulnerable Iron Man to the Impromptu Iron Man. Marvel Comics is hinting at a rough, fresh chapter for the armored Avenger, penned by award-winning journalist and novelist Spencer Ackerman (known for DC’s “Waller vs. Wildstorm”) in his debut with artist Julius Ohta (previously worked on Marvel’s “Alien”), set to commence during the Stark-Roxxon War, as depicted in October’s Iron Man #1. The newly designed and upgraded Iron Man armor, masterminded by Ohta, is showcased on the recently unveiled foil variant cover by Philip Tan, an artist renowned for his work on Uncanny X-Men and Spawn, who also illustrated issues of 2004’s Invincible Iron Man (Vol. 3).

Starting October 23rd, I’m super excited to get my hands on the latest top-selling comic! It comes with a standard cover designed by Yasmine Putri, who did an amazing job with Phoenix. Plus, there are variant covers from some big names in the industry like Leinil Francis Yu (Wolverine), Skottie Young (Strange Academy), Mike Mckone (Uncanny X-Force), Dave Bardin (Giant-Size Fantastic Four), John Tyler Christopher (Old Man Quill), and Sumit Kumar (The Vigil). This is going to be a visual treat!

1) The makeshift Iron Man suit is progressively built over the course of the series as Tony, with his knack for inventing and enhancing, modifies it to deal with whatever challenges come his way, according to the synopsis. Following his spending spree on illicit weapons and later a financial boost from his divorced wife Emma Frost (as depicted in July’s “Invincible Iron Man” #20), the philanthropist genius-billionaire-playboy reclaimed his business from Kelvin Heng, alias Feilong, and employed the White Queen’s start-up funds to finance the new West Coast Avengers.

Stark’s wealth has been reinstated, thanks to Frost, who secretly controlled the market and swindled wealthy figures such as the new Kingpin of Crime Tombstone, Doctor Doom, Roxxon CEO Dario Agger, and A.I.M., by manipulating their thoughts. Now, Stark is reconstructing his life. However, when his technology betrays him, he creates a completely novel armor, as described by Marvel, unlike any other in his more than 60 years of existence.

The plot unfolds: “Roxxon and A.I.M. join forces to challenge Stark Unlimited! However, they haven’t counted on the new Tony Stark. He’s angrier than ever before. Iron Man is gearing up for battle! Determined to avoid hitting rock bottom again, his old adversaries will encounter an Iron Man who’s ready and eager to retaliate, resort to underhanded tactics, and employ every ounce of his intelligence to bring them down! New armor, familiar foes, and shocking turns fill this reimagined tale of a furious Iron Man!”
