Iron Man films Informatics Part 5: Mark III armor



Tony Stark solved the icing problem and subsequent power shutdown from the Mark II armor by creating a new armor made of a gold-titanium alloy. Stark Industries' signature targeting systems were added to the Mark III. Each projectile weapon, carrying its own microcomputer, could communicate wirelessly with the targeting system even after launch, tracking the most mobile targets and even changing targets en route. 







The Mark III System, made of lightweight yet extraordinarily strong alloy shell, offers remarkable durability without compromising mobility. This armor was constructed as a flexible foundation from which further improvements can be made. A series of flaps improve the aerodynamics, while new weapons enrich its offensive capabilities. These weapons include repulsor beams on the palms, the unibeam on the chest and forearm missiles. There are supplementary batteries hidden in the sides; jet-engine vents have been fitted inside the boots to disperse the heat of the built-in repulsors needed for flight mode. This armor was retired from service after being severely damaged during the battle against the Iron Monger, and put on display in the Hall of Armors.
