Favorite Iron Man COMIC armor 2 2

[Ablation Steve]

I'd make a poll, but there's over 50 armors by now and I'm not typing them all in!

MIne's Mark 23, the Ablative Armor. Also, I'll admit that this is an unsubtle way to tell you about my Iron Man fan site devoted to this armor: https://www.ironmanablativearmor.com/

Silver Centurion is my second favorite, got blown up in the first issue of IM I pulled off the spinner.

I'm legit interested in what your favorite armor is and WHY.

Iron Man 1963, horned helmet.

Silver Centurion.

Because both look cool.

Model 37. It's one of the only suits that doesn't look skin-tight or have fake abs. It's also, y'know, the Bleeding Edge...

Yeah, I never thought of rejecting an armor because of the fake abs, but I can definitely see it.

Iron Man in the MCU set some bars for my expectation of his appearance. I still like most of his suits, but the ones that mirror the MCU look - they just catch my attention much better.

Silver centurion 

MK 47 

MK 3 

Hulkbuster

are among my faves 

Honorary mention - Marvel Now 

film wise I preferred Civil War/ IM 2

For me it would have to be one of the suits by Bob Layton.

That's why I think the Silver Centurion is the ultimate crossover. That's why I wrote a blog about it.  https://www.ironmanablativearmor.com/blog/would-i-ever-build-another-iron-man-armor-site

My favorite by far. As a kid, it drove me crazy when they got rid of the "horns" on the helmet.

Agreed. This one wins for me. Layton, with JR Jr, drew the best IM armor

Only real problem with SC is that it really took "bucket head" to a new level. It's really noticeable on the Toybiz Action Figure. So little neck her really looks like a robot.

I had to google Silver Centurion. Had no idea that’s what this armour was called....

[piper]

I actually have a Layton Iron Man commission from a number of years ago when he came to Alberta.  I wonder how many people ask him to draw Iron Man?  I certainly did.

He co-created iron Man.

I commissioned Bob to do an alternate cover to IM 132

It was great.

 

Wish I still had it....

You're right, here's my favorite I mentioned in the first post. The first is from Iron Man 416 by Teranishi (if anybody could get me in touch with him I'd appreciate it) and the second is the Iron Manual by Pangulayan. These are the only two real appearances of it.

Reminds me of Mandroids....
