The Mark VI armor is the first armor to be
powered by a Vibranium Arc Reactor, solving the lethal palladium
problem caused by the old arc reactor. The equipment has been improved, including a laser system that uses
the extra energy powered by the Vibranium. The Mark VI has been upgraded with twin rectangular, six-barreled, shoulder-mounted
missile launchers. Tony used it to battle the Hammer Drones and Whiplash at Stark Expo. He later
used it to battle Loki and Thor, and to repair the damaged engine of the SHIELD Helicarrier.
Stark "Turn and Burn" Laser Weapon
The primary upgrade to the Mark VI is the
inclusion of a prototype 200kW [estimated] laser system. The laser takes
advantage of the increased power supply provided by the new RT chest piece and
is configured for a one-time simultaneous shell discharge from each of the two
gauntlets. The weapons may be chemical, as suggested by the nature of the
ejected shells from the gauntlet. Another theory is that a micro-particle
generator in the suit powered by the upgraded element could serve as a
chem-particle core to generate energy enough to create an extreme exothermic
reaction.
Mini Missiles
Stark
upgraded the wrist-mounted mini-missiles to newer casings that allow the
missiles to penetrate through armored surfaces before detonating. While
modifying the suit's gauntlets for the new casings, he also increased the
capacity to a circle of 8 missiles.They were shown to have great effect, as
only three small missiles could critically destroy a Hammer Drone. The Mark VI
is equipped with twin rectangular six barreled shoulder-mounted missile
launchers. The missiles seem to be computer-guided and micro-jet powered. These
have no differences from earlier armors. They proved ineffective against
Vanko's Mark II armor when fired upon. An upgraded version of these were seen
in The Avengers on
the Mark VII, modified as hip-mounted universal direction missile launchers
with a circle of 16 missiles.
