I was wondering if any one could reference or explain this from the Marvel Database.
"Due to one of SHIELD's new experiments, Stark's mind is now guarded against even the strongest telepaths."
I recall something about the cybernetic control circuitry of the armor granting him a measure of resistance to mental domination and telepathy, but this sounds like something new.

Seems like BS to me.
He's had training and tech to foil mind control for a while now (at one point, out of armor, he was able to will his way through a post hypnotic suggestion by the Controller), but nothing from SHIELD. Also, in IIM #9 that, due to Extremis, his mind is now harddrive-like and "a telepath can't read a hard drive".

Have no idea what's that about; article was due for some cleanup anyway.  There's a bit with Purple Man in Thunderbolts, but I interpreted that as filtering out his pheromones, gas etc. |

Are you sure its #9?I can't seem to find the specific reference. Also that always bugged me, the brain works more like a cluster of processors, each with its own localized small data storage. Converting it to "work like a hard drive" would be a major downgrade from a neuroscientific point of view. |

You'd think he'd be solid-state at least.

With the amount of times, Iron Man went against the Controller, he should be able to have the mental strength to fight off telepaths and mind control.

The Controlller used electronic slave discs to control people, no telepathy was invovled as far as I know.

I know the Controller uses slave discs, but still operates under mental control and with the experience fighting against those devices, Iron Man should have the mental strength to fight off any mental perversion weather it is mind control or telepathy.

While I know nothing about that, I do know that Tony has Psi Shields both in his armor and on his watch. There was an issue where Mentallo gained telepathy on the global scale due to a tech upgrade, and according to the narrative, he controlled every single person on earth save Tony, who engaged him in a (cyber)astral battle. Tony won, and also wiped the earth clean of the knowledge that he was Ironman. |

The brain is the most complex thing on the planet but I always thought with extremis turning his brain hard drive like it just meant that he could access and process information quicker. As seen during the Haunted arc because he was processing information that fast he physically couldnt keep up so he started interpruting that info by seeing ghosts, which were Stark's solutions (pun intended) to the information he had been collecting on the case. In regards to this SHIELD experiments thing, its crap, never happened, not even as a retcon. |

that was the IM-CAP 98 annual --which i always forget forget about, but had a very interesting story of "is it worth taking away people's freedom in order to save thier lives" ,or something to that effect.

Yeah I remember that annual. Another occasion where Cap strongly disagreed with Tony. And later in his own book, Tony felt so guilty that he told the people whose memories he wiped what he'd done. No surprise they were ticked at him. Pity Bush doesn't read, he could have learned something from this story before he became President. Namely the moral that destroying a thing in the name of saving it isn't a good thing.

I know this old, but for sake of completeness, there's an issue where Tony was being affected by the electromagnetic fields of the armor, so he had to design the SAFE armor. He was at a resort run by Basil Sandhurst (aka the Controller) while testing the armor through a remote. Sandhurst was using his equipment to read people's minds to find secrets to later blackmail the patients. Sandhurst became obsessed that Iron Man was on to him and tried to use the mind control device to force Tony to send Iron Man away. It didn't take because Tony has an anti-mind control device in his watch and on his armor.
I also believe the Armor can detect when someone is trying to mindcontrol the pilot and "take over," but I'm not sure about that as it happened in an Excalibur issue.

That was Iron Man volume 3 #13 where the Controller tried to get rid of Iron Man by using hypnotic suggestion in Stark's sleep to get him to send Iron Man away. I think it was a travel clock that Stark made and used to prevent complete mental takeover.
