The Proto-Classic Armor is a type of Iron Man armor developed by Tony Stark.

After losing a confrontaion with Mister Doll, Tony Stark decided that the Golden Armor was too heavy and bulky (as it was made from iron plate). He built an all-new suit of armor, which was a mix of hard components (wrist units, facemask) and flexible, lightweight metal "fabric" connecting them (along the arms, legs, etc.). This Proto-Classic Armor would be the template for many armors to come.

Minor Variations

  • Originally, this armor has ridges radiating from its neck across its chest. Beginning in Tales of Suspense #50, these ridges are sometimes not present.
  • The "belly" of this suit is usually yellow, but sometimes red.
