Iron Man's New Suits in Marvel NOW!

Tony Stark will be donning some new gear in the upcoming December issues of IRON MAN.

Sometimes, change an be a good thing. That's exactly the case for Iron Man who is going to have the chance to play with some brand new toys when the character sees his series relaunched with Marvel NOW!. According to the series' writer Kieron Gillen, Tony Stark will be donning two new Iron Man suits; one heavy armor and one stealth suit. Both new outfits will premiere in December in issues of IRON MAN #3 and IRON MAN #4.

Now why would Iron Man get two very different suits in such a short period of time? According to Gillen, who will be writing the story, Iron Man will be taking on a variety of different adversaries. Since each villain has different weaknesses, Tony will use different suits to enhance different abilities. For example, when the character goes up against Firebrand, Vibro and Living Laser in IRON MAN #3, he will don the Iron Man stealth suit. This suit will give him more maneuverability and will allow him to be more subtle in his tactics. Now, the suit doesn't just host a sleeker design, it gives Tony some new abilities as well.

“The stealth suit [is] shown here in tasteful black, though its chameleonic tendencies can move that in any direction he wants,” shares Gillen. “It maxes out its light-bender, includes lots of holograms, lots of hacking and still keeps a little repulsor and strength if needed.

Not to mention, the suit designed by artist Carlo Pagulayan is also really, really good looking. However, sometimes you need more than stealth to take down your enemies. Sometimes you need to wear something a lot more heavy duty that will inflict some serious damage. In issue #4 of IRON MAN, Gillen will introduce Tony Stark's Iron Man heavy duty battle suit which he will wear when he makes his way through the streets of Paris.

It's clear that there will be some big changes made to many of the characters in the Marvel universe through the launch of Marvel NOW. What do you think of Kieron Gillen's plans for Tony Stark in the upcoming IRON MAN series? Do you like Carlo Pagulayan's new Iron Man suit designs?

In in the lead up to the final arc in the current Iron Man series Tony had the extremis removed from his body. I thought the whole reason for the extremis was so he would allow his brain to act as the CPU for the suit rather than carry the additional weight of computers around, thus making the suit more manuverable. Is there any word on if the extremis will still be used or not.

The stealth suit looks just like what Matt Fraction's run is currently using. Only difference is Rhodey is operating it. I wish they wouldn't call this a new idea/design. Don't like to me Marvel :\

I don't know. I'm quite sad to see the team of Fraction/Larocca go. I'm sure Gillen is a good writer and he'll make this work, but Land is such a turn-off for me. Plus I dislike the fact that the Bleedin' Edge armor seems to be completely gone. Which is odd, since it seems to be way more powerful than these things.

"SIGH" I just can't get with the black and gold. The designs themselves are nice, but the Iron Man coloring is just too iconic at this point for me to really except it any other way. Besides that i'm liking the streamlined look of the stealth suit, as well as the bulky look of the other suit. Looks like something that can take on a Hulk. In terms of actual use...i'm not really impressed. Its nothing new for Tony to have suits designed for a specific purpose.

Stealth suit looks great, but not seeing the need for separate suits when the one he uses could probably be modified to do these things.

Yup. This series is now going on my buy list for sure. Just because of these spectacular suits. Especially the stealth one. Just too smooth to miss that one. :3

Nice... tony is going high tech I just wonder... he collects these armor suits at his place right? so by now he probably has like a super army of iron man suits he can call for back up

He's actually done that before. And had it turned against him in I want to say New Avengers Annual 2 maybe?

Ah, I hate that new Robocop armor. HAHAHA!

Looks like Pagulayan is doing the new McRib-powered Iron Man armor. I'm not giving a serious response to this, I know.

Loving the sleek design of the stealth suit, although the bulky suit is a bit too unoriginal. Practically a hulkbuster all over again.

I think Greg Land is more suited to Iron Man than he was X-men.

Is this the third or fourth version of the Stealth Armor? Either way looks pretty awesome. Definitely an instant fave for me.

The stealth armor is real sleak looking. I like it.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Gillen kills it on this title. Both Uncanny X-Men and Journey into Mystery are quality titles. Putting him on Iron Man was smart move.

looks like some thing off tron. it looks a little to dark for tony. the red looked in-inviting colors have to work for the character. like bat man has dark colors make him seem some what more intimidating and scary. that not what iron man is he more cool
