Known Armors (Contd )

The Mark II armor was designed by Tony Stark after returning from Afghanistan to improve on the Mark I. It had a sleeker design and focused on enhancing flight capabilities through advanced construction materials and computer systems. While testing flight, Tony discovered icing would be an issue at high altitudes. The Mark II armor later served as the basis for War Machine when upgraded by Rhodey in Iron Man 2.

Known armors (Contd…)

Mark II :
The Mark II armor was designed and created by Tony Stark after his
return from Afghanistan. It features much of the articulation and sleek-
design which would appear in the final, Mark 3 armor. While testing the
flight mechanism, he noted that 'icing' would become a major problem
with the Mark II when upper altitudes were reached. It was hinted
that Rhodey would be using the Mark II armor in the sequel.

Upgrades
The main focus of the Mark II was to update the armor with advanced
construction and material with a focus to greatly enhancing it's flight
capabilities. Stripping down the Mark I suit to it's basics, with the aid of
modern resources and computer aided design, Stark was able to make the
armor both much more streamlined while including massively more
complex systems. Compared to to the electronically "dumb" Mark I, the
Mark II featured a highly advanced compact computer system with
extensive sensor systems linked to holographic heads-up display in the
helmet, Stark's personal A.I. system J.A.R.V.I.S. being able to interface
with it and provide verbal warnings and system status updates. The outer
surface of the armor was high gloss silver. The majority of the panels on
the suit were articulated to serve as control surfaces in flight, but main
flight stabilization came from repulsors installed on the palms each hand.

The HUD multi-processor computer system was projected against the


lenses that covered the eyeholes. Stark confirmed with Agent Coulson
that the HUD included the J.A.R.V.I.S. monitoring capabilities and
observational protocol, a Global Positioning System, target scanning,
and displays for navigation, power level, and vital signs. One of the main
goals of the Mark II armor was to provide flight stabilization to control
the Thruster Boots. The strength of the Replsor Rays was apparently not
initially weapons-grade in the Mark II. The Mark II was a protoype of the
Iron Man Armors and had mainly systems for flight, thus its streamlined
shape. It also has noteably no weapons on board like later models.

The Mark II armor was remade for the Hall of Armors and one version
upgraded into the War Machine armor by Rhodey in Iron Man 2. After
crashing Tony's Birthday party, Rhodey flies off with the Mark II Armor
to the US Army and, collaborating with Justin Hammer, arms the Mark
II with Hammer's weapons.
