Yes, I know this needs cleanup -- I did just start the thing, I know it needs a lot of work. Dr Archeville 18:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I usually frown on articles like this, but this is a special case since Iron Man's powers and appearances have changed (sometimes radically) with each new armor. Plus, it's a nice way of tracking down certain Iron Man story arcs without leaving the encyclopedic format. Good work so far. Wilfredo Martinez 14:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, such was my entire reasoning for starting this article. Still needs a good deal, though, but so do a lot of articles. Dr Archeville 14:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pics

It's just begging for some. CovenantD 17:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Got any idea where we can find some useable images for it? Dr Archeville 18:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

You can easily find them with Google Advanced Image Search. Comic book covers that feature Iron Man in each of them would be the best fair-use ones. Failing that, comic book panel images can be used (but should be clearly identified by issue, pge and panel.) I suggest we stick only to those that REALLY need to be shown, however- the Gold Armor is the same as the Grey armor, other than color, for example. Wilfredo Martinez 14:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Shouldn't this article's title be some variation of "List of..."? --InShaneee 00:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

It's not all that list-y. List articles are a lot more listy. --Chris Griswold 00:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm wondering if it should be "Iron Man's armor" or "Iron Man's armors". He's got more than one suit (dozens, as recentty shown in a fight against Graviton); he's not constantly modifiying the same suit, he's building new ones. Dr Archeville 16:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm in favour of "Iron Man's armors" for the above reason - in fact, that's where I moved it to originally but someone moved it one step further. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

But armor is a mass noun so the 's' just looks weird. You can't have 'an armor', really, can you? Morwen - Talk

Is it a mass noun? One suit of armor, two suits of armor... hunh, I suppose it is. Dr Archeville 18:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ablative = Ultimate

Is it just me or is that his new ablative armor looks heavily inspired by his Ultimate version? I would have thought that even though the Ultimates is incredibly popular they wouldn't bother trying to change him towards the very popular modern version.

[edit] Hollows of his bones... =

... Tony Stark has hollow bones? Like Warren Worthington III? Why?

[edit] Stark Armor (merge)

I say merge just due to the shortness of that article. Also is this the same armor that is used by Spider Man during Civil War? If it is then it should be merged with Spider-man's costume article.Phoenix741 18:04, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps a section for armors built for others: Spidey's suit, the Guardsman, Cap's exoskeleton etc.Kokushishin 11:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I would be ok with thatPhoenix741 18:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I vote for deletion; the article Spider-Man's powers and equipment already has a quite thorough section on the so-called "Stark Armor" here. -- Pennyforth 18:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• So it is the same armor. Ok i am going to be radical and delete it.

Phoenix741 01:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

As I see you've noticed, Phoenix, only admins can delete an article. I've marked it for deletion to bring it to the admins' attention, noting the reason as "duplicates information from Spider-Man's powers and equipment. -- Pennyforth 21:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Yea.... I feel like an idiot, TYPhoenix741 00:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

For the record, the Stark Armor article has apparently been deleted, and searches and links now redirect to the pertinent section in Spider-Man's powers and equipment. - Pennyforth 00:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessed Importance

Article's subject is of Low importance for being trivial. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 04:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
