The Iron Patriot is a patriotism-themed exoskeleton used by several fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Publication history
[edit]The concept of the Iron Patriot, which is meant to evoke Iron Man and Captain America, first appeared in Dark Avengers #1 (March 2009) and was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato.
Fictional history
[edit].jpg)
Norman Osborn donned the original Iron Patriot armor during the Dark Reign storyline to exert his authority as "commander" of H.A.M.M.E.R. and the Dark Avengers while using Oscorp's resources.[1] Unsurprisingly, Osborn's activities as the Iron Patriot have been jeopardized by the original Avengers: Osborn gets tricked into attacking Tony Stark,[2] and when the New Avengers led by Captain America used the Iron Patriot's tracking device on Luke Cage as a trick to destroy his own house.[3] During the siege of Asgard, the Iron Patriot is disabled during Osborn's fight with Steve Rogers which revealed Osborn's Green Goblin warpaint.[4] When Rogers, Stark and Thor transfer him to the Raft penitentiary, Osborn blames his Goblin alter-ego for ruining his chance to protect America as the Iron Patriot.[5]
A low-level A.I. drone via the Iron Patriot armor is seen during the Marvel NOW! event. At a weapons expo, it ends up stolen by A.I.M. for the Scientist Supreme's plans, but is almost interrupted by Nick Fury Jr. and Daisy Johnson.[6] An Iron Patriot army of sentient drones controlled by Marvin Flumm were used to incriminate the United States in international attacks, such as a framed attack on Iran where the Hulk is sent in response.[7] S.H.I.E.L.D. uses holographic communication to hack into A.I.M. so the Iron Patriot drones can understand these programmed actions are wrong.[8] The Iron Patriot drones are next seen during the Inhumanity storyline as support.[9]
James "Rhodey" Rhodes temporarily wore the Iron Patriot armor during the Iron Patriot series.[8][10] His father Terrence Rhodes[a] provides support for his family and uses the Iron Patriot battlesuit to help stop a conspiracy in which he sacrifices himself.[10]
Sarah Garza is an Inhuman who can generate powerful explosions of energy with her Iron Patriot armor used as a regulator suit, and a rookie member of the Secret Avengers.[9][11]
Dr. Toni Ho wore two versions of her own Iron Patriot armor as a member of the U.S. Avengers; a standard version,[12] and a heavy combat variation.[13][14]
Sharon Carter briefly wore the Iron Patriot armor to combat Selene.[15]
Other versions
[edit]Variants or replicas of the Iron Patriot armor make occasional appearances.
The American Son is another patriotic-themed exoskeleton used by Harry Osborn during the Dark Reign storyline,[16] and later by Gabriel Stacy.[17]
The Iron Hulk is an alias used by Robert Maverick / Red Hulk.[18]
A variation of Steve Rogers (now referred to as Grant Rogers) created by the Cosmic Cube utilized elements of Tony Stark's armor in order to control Hydra as the Hydra Supreme / Civil Warrior,[19] which would later be utilized by Veronica Eden.[20]
The Ultimate Marvel equivalent of the Iron Patriot armor is utilized by Tony Stark / Iron Man due to a sentient brain tumor and inspired by Steve Rogers / Captain America.[21][22]
