Top 10 Strongest Iron Man Suits! Too Strong For The MCU

allow me to ask you a question who exactly is tony stark well he's been a lot of things over the years hasn't he a genius sure a billionaire no doubt an avenger one of the very first but i ask you dear viewer beneath all the titles nicknames in the shiny metal suits fundamentally who is tony stark he's an engineer an engineer who built one of the most powerful weapons in the world in a cave with a box of scraps and what does an engineer do after inventing a near indestructible suit of armor capable of supersonic flight and equipped with state-of-the-art weapon systems he heads back into the garage and starts trying to make a better one today we're going to be going through tony stark's many many iron man armor models in search of the best of the best they'll be judged on power speed versatility and of course aesthetic so sit back relax and let's get right down to business number 10 mark 1 armor it's not the sleekest it's not the fastest and it's certainly not the most powerful yet the oversized unwieldy mark 1 armor almost always finds its spot on any list of iron man's best suits why is that what makes this prototype a hunk of junk worthy of a spot alongside iron man sexy or premier fighting machines well no matter how you slice it without the mark 1 armor there would be no iron man this outdated elderly suit deserves a spot amongst its way cooler grandchildren for being the very first attempt tony ever made at building a suit of armor the mark 1 represents the first time tony cracked the code behind the iron man suit and would serve as the basis for all later iron man suits tony would invent think back on this old junker when we get to the insanely overpowered number one suit on this list for some stunning contrast but though its edges may be rough it's still not quite as polished as later series the mark 1 was still nothing to scoff at the original suit was built around another of stark's genius inventions minuscule transistors that could intensify the power of magnets a thousand-fold when tony is famously kidnapped and grievously injured he and fellow prisoner acclaimed physicist professor ginsen waste no time constructing a suit that was capable of busting them out of their confines the original armor was equipped with reduced flight capabilities and hand strength and magnetized transistors allowing the armor to reflect incoming fire and disarm enemies from a distance the suit also featured early versions of the flamethrower as well as a buzzsaw appendage the mark 1 wasn't about to win any beauty contest but it was powerful in its own right and served as an excellent proof of concept this armor takes the top 10 spot because well you have to start somewhere because every subsequent suit on this list owes its creation to the one and only mark one number nine cold iron armor what is iron man's greatest weakness granted there aren't many after all he is a nth level genius who serves as the on and off leader of the most powerful superhero team on the planet but tony stark is a technological titan in a world of boundless possibilities and there's one specific area where even tony's brilliant mind is completely out of its element magic sorcery witchcraft and spell casting all pose huge threats to tony's entirely science-based armor unless his armor had a bit of magic in it that is but i won't spoil the rest of our list after running into more than a little trouble while traversing the nine realms tony brought out his cold iron armor in a battle against malik at the accursed single-handedly facing off against malachite's horde of sadistic dark elves tony summons a titanic set of armor designs specifically for sustained combat with magic users the armor is encased with a thick layer of iron a material extremely harmful to beings of magic such as dark elves and highly resistant to magic itself think magical kryptonite the suit itself is almost entirely mechanical more focused on gears and bolts compared to iron man's more high-tech armors that we'll see later down the list the cold iron armor features a pure iron hook that can be launched both at and into combatants with devastatingly brutal effects as malikith's horde charges at tony he unleashes the full arsenal of the armor including aerosolized iron fillings that eat into the uncoming mob's flesh and eyes a high-powered laser targeting system and twang fang iron spears on the fist that serve both as weapons in hand to hand combat as well as a quick grounding device to protect against electrical attacks when malekith attempts to magically transmute the cold iron armor into one of gold tony uses one of the suit's more high-tech hidden capabilities incredibly realistic holograms the cold iron armor might not be the most nimble or subtle of tony's suits but it's ingeniously designed that way when going against one of his greatest weaknesses tony's plan is simple let them come he puts all his faith in the construction of his suit and lets his enemies think that they have the upper hand before taking them all out in a veritable tornado of iron and steel the suit is not overall one of tony's most powerful due to its design focusing against one specific type of enemy however the sheer strength of the cold iron armor coupled with its diverse array of weapon extensions and the inherent protection from all magical attacks makes this one of tony's most protected and impenetrable suits yet of course for the next item on our list the whole name of the game is offense but before we see what powerhouses await us down the list be sure to subscribe to the channel with notifications on to never miss an upload and smash that like button for more plot armor comics without further ado on to number eight number eight war machine one of the most famous suits of armor ever to leave the brain of tony stark the war machine would of course become a gift to his close friend and confidante james rhodes rhodey would take the war machine armory from just another silver suit in tony's closet to the influential hero and avenger he was always destined to become but in its first appearance tony is the only one who originally invents the war machine armor and takes it for its first test run attempting to fend off an assassination attempt from the master of silence a seriously ill and hospitalized tony stark finishes his latest suit of armor just in time to face off against the mercenaries head to head the first iteration of the war machine armor includes infrared heat sensors to track enemy combatants as well as highly improved versions of the flamethrower we saw from the mark 1. the shoulder mounted machine guns and rocket launchers proved incredibly effective even in the armor's very first outing and could be auto targeted or manually aimed using the laser sight on the helmet the war machine is all about taking down opponents quickly with force not giving them a second to react as an onslaught of bullets and explosions rain chaos around them and should any combatant get lucky enough to go toe-to-toe with a suit then they've made a costly mistake the armor is also equipped with an aggressive scan mode that automatically predicts encounters opponents moves before they can make them the war machine armor is a force of nature capable of neutralizing enemies as quickly as they appear the suit has excellent crowd control abilities as well as one-on-one potential and could be considered one of the most explosive suits stark ever built all of this earns the war machine armor a respectable spot on this list but the armor's lack of defensive options coupled with its reliance on purely mechanical and military technology means that there are many even more powerful suits charting ahead of it number 7 phoenix killer armor imagine a suit of armor as big as an 18-wheeler armor with the power to drive a stake through the heart of one of the most powerful cosmic beings the universe has or will ever know this is the phoenix killer armor affectionately known as the phoenix buster and it's a doozy during the avengers vs x-men event tony stark had an idea the phoenix was flying through the space waves toward earth seeking to possess a young mutant woman by the name of hope summers in order to prevent this tony decided to do what he does best build a suit of armor the phoenix killer armor was designed to do just as its name implies disperse the goddess of fire and rebirth into atoms across the cosmos thereby ending the terror and destruction the cosmic energy rot whenever it decided to pop in on the x-men the armor itself is enormous with the driver operating the mech from a small piloting chair in the chest cavity when the moment came and the phoenix was in range tony took off from the moon's surface and flew directly into the bird's flaming visage tony's other suits are usually equipped with countless gizmos and gadgets trying to be as versatile as possible the phoenix buster has but one purpose the entire suit of armor functions as one giant overcharged disruptor aimed right at the phoenix head tony fires the disrupt array at point-blank range and the sky above the moon alights with the ultimate power the phoenix contains as tony attempts to kill it ultimately when the dust cleared the phoenix killer armor was unsuccessful the phoenix remained after tony's attempt on its life albeit in pieces the shattered portions of the phoenix four split off into five equal sections and each found a host and a nearby mutant though the massive suit of armor did not achieve its desired goal of dispersing the cosmic entity across the galaxy splitting the phoenix into any number of pieces represents a near incalculable level of power even though the phoenix killer failed it deserves its place on this list as one of tony's most powerful inventions of all time though higher levels on this top 10 list are reserved for inventions that actually succeeded number 6 silver centurion the silver centurion is one of iron man's most iconic and most versatile suits to date first donned in the pages of iron man issue 200 tony's first encounter with obadiah stain's iron monger suit would be while wearing the silver centurion for the first time and that first flight would be a legendary one though visually a little clunkier than his previous suits the silver centurion represented a huge power up for the armored avenger and would serve as the metric by which all future suits would be measured against the silver centurion's armor's most important improvement would be its dual sources propulsion system which would increase tony's flight speed exponentially on its very first run the armor would take tony from california to new york in only 20 minutes the silver centurion was equipped with both cooling and heating capabilities far beyond its predecessors allowing tony's flight paths to exit and re-enter earth's atmosphere with ease without risk of damage to the suit or the wearer other iron man suits flew like airplanes the silver centurion flew like a cruise missile the suit also debuted a new and improved stealth system that could hide iron man from any eyes on the ground as well as shield him from all radar scanners the armor also included detection scans that could alert iron man to danger much like spider-man's spider-sense as well as disruptor fields that could destroy the tracking and targeting systems of any enemy aircraft or missile launchers the power of the repulsor rays on the silver centurion were increased dramatically able to take out enemies that had nearly defeated iron man in his old armor with a single hit and not only were the offensive capabilities dialed up the defensive ones were improved as well iron man silver suit featured anti-repulsor fields that helped him gain the upper hand in his battle with iron monger as well as a redirection cannon that could absorb and re-fire any energy the suit absorbed back at his enemies along with the additions of powerful pulso bolts and an energy detecting interface built directly into the visual interface the silver centurion was easily the most powerful suit of armor tony had ever dared to use up until that point the suit represented tony's most earnest and successful attempt yet to push the boundaries of what the iron man armor was capable of and it succeeded on every level but the silver centurion just doesn't deserve a spot on this list because of its powerful wattage much like the mark 1 every subsequent iron man suit we'll be looking at depends on the silver centurion for pushing the boundary of what tony thought was possible forward and though the silver centurion marked tony's most innovative leap forward of its era it would certainly not be the last or most impressive leap forward iron man would ever make number 5 hulkbuster the famous or infamous hulkbuster armor is one of tony's most well-known enemy specified units the og of the buster armors this one is only intended to be wielded against an out of control hulk which pretty much means it's designed to hold up in just about the most dangerous place on the planet face to face with the jade giant himself there are lots of slugfest between the hulkbuster and its intended target we could examine to ascertain the armor's strength and weaknesses though it's safe to say any suit of armor that can go toe-to-toe with the hulk automatically earns a spot on this list but instead we'll take a look at a fight from the invincible iron man issue number 12 in which tony's beef vest armor does the exact opposite of what it's designed for it starts to smash during the arc tony has lost control of some of his most powerful suits of armor and they begin rampaging across the world his hulkbuster suit takes up residence in new york city and the avengers quickly assembled to take it down before it can do any damage safe to say the avengers were outmatched the roster at the time was led by captain america and featured the combined forces of wolverine captain marvel luke cage iron spider she-hulk and spider-woman i'm sure i don't have to tell you dear viewer that's a lot of avengers tony gets called in as the team starts to take on the rampaging hulkbuster but by the time he arrives at the scene most of the avengers have already been defeated taking on the hulkbuster himself tony how to put this lightly gets his butt handed to him in a matter of seconds the hulk buster armor includes a similar feature to the war machine armor that allows the ai to predict encounter attacks before they are thrown not only is the armor near indestructible even landing a punch is damn near impossible when the giant armor manages to subdue cap and begins squeezing the life from him tony makes the only move he has left knowing that all of his armors are coded to his own biometric signature he releases a taser strong enough to kill him into his own heart the shock succeeds in stopping the raging hulkbuster but almost nearly kills tony outright safe to say the raw power of the hulkbuster armor was witnessed by all of new york city when it took down earth's mightiest heroes without breaking a sweat in terms of sheer strength and physical capability you just can't beat the hulkbuster armor the downside to the suit and the reason it ranks a respectable fifth instead of placing higher on our list is its inability to adapt to any other situation if you're about to enter a ring with the juggernaut look no further than the hulkbuster suit but in any situation requiring even an ounce of nuance or subtlety you might be better off with another option perhaps you'd prefer number four bleeding edge the bleeding edge armor is the silver centurion of its time a complete technological makeover from the ground up that reinvented the way iron man operated on every level created by stark with crucial input and assistance from reed richards of the fantastic four the bleeding edge armor is the closest tony has ever come to simply uploading his consciousness into a suit of armor the bleeding edge armor exists within tony's biology within his very body itself during the time when tony's heart was being run by a repulsor battery a self-generating battery with the potential energy to power my body indefinitely the repulsor battery within tony's chest was endlessly rechargeable and pumped unquantifiable amounts of energy directly into tony's brain energy his mind harnessed to become even more intelligent than he already was using this internal energy and the reusable power he now had access to stark resolved to build a suit beyond any he had previously dreamt of and he succeeded the bleeding edge armor can literally be worn by no one else because it is part of tony's physical form instead of donning the bleeding edge armor like he would with any of his previous suits when iron man is needed tony's repulsor battery literally builds the bleeding edge around his body itself when not in use the metal of the armor is literally stored within the hollow parts of tony's bones the armor is so intimately connected to his body there is no outside systems needed to operate the bleeding edge armor tony's repulsor juiced brain does all the work for him running systems analysis flight checks anything that the iron man armor used to need processing power on backup computers to run it can now do entirely from tony's mind the bleeding edge armor is completely and utterly controlled by tony with no possibility of outside interference or mal intent completely inconspicuous available at the drop of the hat and not to mention sleek as all get out there is no doubt that the bleeding edge armor deserves its fourth place spot and if you're wondering how could he possibly improve on this one well the answers lie just ahead number three endo sim armor one answer is venom during the superior iron man era tony's personality was altered such that he basically became a super villain as a result tony decided he needed to put a new spin on his iron exoskeleton he settled on the endo sim armor by combining his previous tech with the building blocks of a symbiote tony was able to create full liquid smart metal that not only moves smoothly but much like the bleeding edge suit takes its commands directly from his thoughts pepper pot summarized the suit best when she called it symbiote infused armor additionally rather than featuring a full face covering the endo sim armor features a visor of graphene that allows tony both full view out of his helmet with the same level of protection the graphene layer is even strong enough to take a bullet at point-blank range the armor much like a symbiote exhibits the ability to fully bond with tony tracking him wherever he goes and intervening independently on his behalf even when it's in liquid state put simply the endo sim armor is a living armor that can operate both as tony's iron man suit or his partner the endo sim maintains all of the biological benefits of the bleeding edge armor but can additionally act outside of tony's explicit control the liquid armor has a mind of its own and although it makes it incredibly dangerous and irresponsible to create in the first place it also makes it wildly powerful taking the third place in our countdown of tony's most powerful suits the endo sim armor might very well top the list of his most hazardous designs as well number two uru armor the penultimate armor in our most technological of countdowns comes from tony combining his armor with something that we've talked about before on the list magic during the earthly invasion of the serpent one of odin's most ancient enemies the avengers simply can't hold off against the onslaught of magical power being thrown at them tony in a moment of desperation pleads with odin and even sacrifices his sobriety for an audience with the all-father odin agrees to speak to tony and the hero begs him to allow tony access to his forges granting tony his boon iron man gets to work creating magical weapons of all shapes and sizes for his avengers teammates in hopes that they'll be the decisive factor in the coming war against the serpent tony builds many incredible themes inside the great workshops of spartalheim but when the time comes for his inventions to be forged in the fires of the gods odin asked what weapon would the man who would insult a god choose to bring to the day of his death tony manifests his bleeding-edge armor around him in replies i rather came having had tony then jumps headfirst into the forges of the gods and receives odin's blessing on his armor itself the uru armor tony uses during the climax of the fear itself event is potentially the most powerful he's ever worn imbued with the power of asgard itself the armor is fully indestructible and powerful magic backs up every repulsor blast and laser beam imagine repulsors with the force of thor's hammer and targeting technology with the all side of heimdall though his time with the armor is brief it must be documented as one of the most powerful suits iron man has ever flown into battle number one model prime though perhaps no suit can match up to the magical power of the uru armor the model prime suit is undoubtedly the most versatile most functional and most high-tech armor tony has ever put together this is because the model prime is the best of all worlds after seeing reedy williams post online having reverse engineered one of the old iron man suits tony decides it's time to step it up it's time to re-crown himself the king of future tech tony puts his nose to the grindstone and comes out with the cleanest the sleekest the most jam-packed armor he has ever invented after endless designs and redesigns tony finally found a way to merge all of my different armor modes into one and importantly after his last few designs the model prime is not attached to my biology in a way that freaks just about everyone out but is completely attached to my brain synapses the model prime is just about the most perfect iron man armor it's versatile and lightweight but not flimsy flashy but with a killer stealth mode for covert operations much like the bleeding edge armor it responds to tony's thoughts and ideas almost in a similar way to the green lantern ring able to create new weapons and constructs from its molecular structure as quickly as tony can think of them when fighting karnak an inhuman whose power is literally to detect structural weakness tony's model prime armor wipes the floor with him as he quips sorry i don't have any tony has likely made thousands of suits of armor over the years each with their own strengths and weaknesses but in his entire history never has he made a single suit of armor without any weaknesses it's clear to see that compared to every other suit of armor on this list the model prime reaches higher and achieves more than all of them combined and that is because dear viewer it actually does combine all of them into one damn near perfect iron man suit so have any other of tony's shiny shells that you think should have made our list or some favorite iron man moments we didn't mention here let us know in the comments we here at plot armor comics would like to thank you so much for watching this video i've been morse code and you've been awesome and we hope you have a great rest of your day
