Mandroid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Mandroid is a fictional suit of power armor which appears in the Marvel Comics universe. They were originally designed by Tony Stark and built by Stark International for use by S.H.I.E.L.D., with the concept being to provide the wearer with a large number of offensive options in order to provide a variable response to the level of threat, threats which may include those posed by supervillains or rogue superheroes. Since then, Mandroid armor has been utilized by several criminals, such as minions of Moses Magnum.

The Mandroid power armor is constructed of a titanium alloy that provides a fair deal of protection from physical and energy attacks; the suit also offers an internal air supply and life support systems. Sensors include infrared scanners and radar/sonar, and the suits contain a full-range radio and loudspeaker. The suits increase the wearer's strength and stamina, though not to superhuman degrees. The main feature is the wide array of offensive weaponry -- electrostatic beams, lasers, magnetic force "punch-blasters", "neuro-stunners", and tractor/repellor beams have all been exhibited.
