My Ten's - Top 10 Armored Superheroes

This is my second list on here now. This one is just a list of my favorite armored characters. Powers or not under the armor doesn't matter. The armor just has to be a useful tool or powerful weapon. These are my favorites. Threw in some bonus items for fun as well.

List items

  • What can I say. He's DC's Iron Man essentially. Making an armored suit from available materials that was capable of surviving combat with the Eradicator and Cyborg Superman. He's been rebooted in the 52 but before that created Steel Works. A company that made amazing inventions to help the everyday person.

  • Curtis Metcalf is one of those Highly underrated characters. A genius level intellect and highly resourceful. He's alone the lines of actually being Batman and Iron Man at the same time. Starting out with a mean streak that would make the Punisher blush he's changed from vengeance and selfishness to justice and caring for others. Under utilized and under appreciated. I hope to see him show his full potential in coming years.

  • To me Tech Jacket is what I originally thought Green Lantern/Nova Corps should have been closer too. Zack was bonded to an alien suit that gave him abilities powerful enough to stand up to a Viltrumite (his universes version of Kryptonians). He's learning the ropes but has deep held beliefs and is the first line of defense against alient threats to his earth.

  • I put him at number four. Because he gets ALOT of attention anyway. And while he is a good character and another with genius level intellect. Some of his decisions like the Civil War fiasco (yes I do understand both sides of it and will touch on it at another time) just make you wonder if he's going a little mad or had a little too much to drink. Still fun and probably has the most armors of anyone on the list.

  • Iron Man's best friend and partner. He's underrated as well. With the movie version losing the engineering portion of his military service, and him not really showing strong convictions about certain things yet, I feel alot of the character was lost in translation. While not a super genius, Rhodey was smart enough to maintain, update and keep his War Machine suit going while him and Tony weren't talking. He also has a high level of tactical skill and is willing to lay his life down to even buy his teammates a small advantage that will result in victory and save lives.

  • I'll be honest I don't know too much about him. But I remember him being an interesting character and always wanted to find out more about him. A character with some powers that built the armor and was eventually written to be crazy and removed from the team. Would like to see him make a comeback.

  • While I don't know much about the armor he's using yet. The current Batman armor appears to be more on the lines of the other armors listed here. Gordon has always been a fascinating and I feel over looked character in the Batman franchise. I think he could handle a stand alone series and if he has to take over as the Bat so be it. Only time will tell the full potential of this armor.

  • Liked the previous one and like this one. The armor Luscious Fox is sporting is the precursor I believe for the Batman Beyond suit. While I liked both versions of the armor I kinda liked the previous look more.

  • Another Genius level intellect. Like the 5th one on this list. The reason he's so low though? He goes out of his way to avoid physical combat so his armor stays in the box usually. And as powerful as it is it's made to fight Superman who shreds it when he gets mad. Still though there's no denying he gets a place on this list.

  • To me he's very similar to Tech Jacket. But Tech Jacket is more interesting and doing more at the moment so... Still a good and likable character.
