1. The Silver Centurion
Here we go, my personal favorite Iron Man armor of all time. Hands down, I will always pick Model 8, the good ol’ Silver Centurion armor.
The armor was originally built for James “Rhodey†Rhodes during his time as Iron Man, but Stark wore it during his battle against the Iron Monger. It served quite well there, and Tony used it for a good long while, until it became one of the most iconic Iron Man armors ever.
The suit was used during the Beyonder’s appearance on Earth in Secret Wars II, the formation of the West Coast Avengers, and the Avengers’ battle against Mephisto. It’s what I remember when I think of fantastic 1980’s Iron Man stories, including one of my all-time favorites: Armor Wars, a rad comic book in which Iron Man discovers that a bunch of other armored supervillains had been using stolen Stark tech to run their suits.
That pissed Tony right off, and he went out to go kick butt up and down the street. In that arc, the Firepower armor annihilated the suit, and this allowed Tony to fake Iron Man’s death. Later versions have popped up since that time.
And there we go. All of my favorite Iron Man armors in one definitive place. Have your own favorite? Feel free to share in the comments! I’m excited to hear other people’s opinions on this one.
