What is your favorite armor from each type of media: Comics, Movies, Cartoons, and Video Games? (Model 2 image is from both edition of the Iron Manual, Mark 42 image is from the Iron Man 3 promotional material)
These are my four picks for each media and I'll tell you why:
Comics: Model 2. For the little 60s Iron Man I've read, this armor always sparks to me. I love the horns and the little gold rectangle on the belt, because of how different it is from most armors. I like how the lack of repulsors(as the Model 3 was the first armor with repulsors) allowed Tony to use tons of gadgets instead of just defaulting to shooting things. This armor is basically a swiss army knife for Superheroes.
Movies: Mark 42. I have fond memories of this suit growing up when Iron Man 3 was coming out and the toys and promotional artwork are so nostalgic to me alongside that mobile game. I love the extra gold on the armor, especially because most armors in the movies after this barely have that much. It looks sharp, shiny, and it's not super functional due to being a prototype. This armor encapsulates my younger years in a way that'll make this armor live in my heart forever
Cartoons: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Mark 7. I love this cartoon so naturally I love the suit too. It's a neat design combo between the old comic armors and the (at the time) new movie armors that millions of people around the world were mostly familiar with. This armor pairs well with its Tony Stark also being a combo between MCU Iron Man and 616 Iron Man in some ways.
Video Games: Impulse Armor. This armor is from Iron Man VR, one of my favorite games of all time. I love customizing this thing with the color scheme and weapons I want, making this armor my own personal customizable machine of heroism. I find the game fun and I got used to the armor(especially the arms) after several hours of game time and replays. I like how the arms don't have shoulder pads and I think the helmet looks nice.
