Equipment
The Iron Monger armor gave Stane superhuman strength enabling him to lift at least 50 tons. The armor's weaponry is exposed (except for the missile launcher in his shoulder), unlike Iron Man's, whose armor retracts or separates to reveal the weapons. The armor also is equipped with a 23mm gattling gun, Stark S-category missiles, a laser-guided warhead, omnium exterior, a stun device, a grenade launcher, and flight equipment. The Iron Monger's onboard computer had little navigational focus, as the suit was based on Stark's Mark I armor he "acquired" from the Ten Rings. Obadiah Stane made smart targeting the HUD's primary component. Omnium, a steel alloy of invincible strength, was developed in Stark Industries' Sector 16, specifically for use in the Iron Monger suit.
Though the Iron Monger suit is "superior in every way" to Iron Man's armor, Stane hadn't solved the ice problem, his armor cannot function at the freezing temperatures of the upper atmosphere due to its silver plating. The wires connecting to his optics also appears to be partially exposed in the neck area, as Iron Man was able to see them and pull them out with ease, causing Stane's armor to go blind, forcing him to open his helmet.
Towards the end of the fight, Pepper fires the Arc Reactor, sending a huge blast of energy so high it reaches the clouds, damaging the Iron Monger armor in the process. Stane is knocked unconscious by the blast, and he with his suit tumble into the generator, causing an explosion that kills him and destroys the armor.
