Armor
Specs: Mark 1
 Nickname:
The Original Grey Armor
Designer:
Anthony Stark, Professor Ho Yinsen
Worn By:
Anthony Stark, Eddie March (IM #300)
Appeared: Tales
of Suspense #39
Design Notes :
Shell Composition :
Semi-rigid
interior/3D knitted metallic exterior made from actual, ordinary iron provided
protection from physical attacks as well as heat, cold, some energy forms,
and acid.
Power Source and Energy Information:
The
armor ran on batteries and was able to recharge itself from electrical
sources.
Control Systems Interface:
All
of the armors systems were manually controlled.
Weaponry: Monobeam
(Mark 1); First portable Proton Beam Generator: useful range was only several
yards.
Life Support Equipment:
Pacemaker
in the chest-plate.
Boot Jets (Mark 1):
Actually
these were just air pressure jets that allowed for very high jumping. Did
not provide consistent thrust for true flight.
Equipment:
Suction
Cups: They
mounted to the knees and hands of the armor enabling it to "stick" to walls
and ceilings.
Miniature Buzz Saw:
It
is actually more like a hack-saw that extended from the fingertip of the
gauntlet.
Electromagnets:
By attaching standard electromagnets to his transistors, Iron Man could increase
their effectiveness by a number of magnitudes. This allowed him to literally
pull things to him and by reversing the polarity, push things away.
Sensors:
Short-Wave
Radio.
Hand
Flamer. Electronic
Device Scrambler.
Notes:
Forerunner
of them all. Powered by flat linear armature DC motors, the exoskeleton
boosted the strength of the wearer by about 10 times. Employed negative
feedback motion sensing.
