10+ Armored Characters That Could Give Tony Stark Goosebumps

Tony Stark isn't the only billionaire inventor who created a suit of armor that grants superpowers (he may have created the most suits of armor though). In all honesty, armored superheroes are a dime a dozen, and Iron Man isn't even the most powerful out of them. Across the various fictional galaxies and multiverses, there are suits of armor that incorporate alien technology to create a finished product that can shake up entire galaxies.
Tony Stark is a brilliant inventor for a human, but there are a lot of high-tech civilizations out there. Whether it's the Blue Beetle with his Scarab or Tech Jacket in the Invincible universe, alien tech just makes for superior armor.

1. Master Chief

Special Armor Abilities: Because this set of armor is completely sealed, Spartans may operate underwater and in space. The armor is linked to Master Chief's thoughts, allowing him to maneuver as if it were his own body in real time. The armor is around 1000 pounds in weight.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: Master Chief's armor is strong enough to protect him from Iron Man's blasts, therefore Iron Man's whole offensive approach is effectively thrown out the window in their fight. The military experience of Master Chief would then kick in, letting him to throw everything he knows against Tony Stark, who has had very little military training.

2. Samus Aran

Special Armor Abilities: Samus' Power Suit lets her to stay in space indefinitely. The suit comes fully equipped with a variety of weapons and may be readily modified. The suit is equipped with a wide range of energy beams, missiles, and explosives. The suit can also transform into a tiny ball, allowing Samus to traverse across confined spaces and strike her enemies.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: Samus' Power Suit could certainly take on Iron Man on its own, but even if it couldn't, one of her suit's unique abilities is its ability to incorporate virtually any technology and weaponry into itself. If Samus came close enough to Iron Man's armory, she could attack Stark with all of his powers.

3. Tech Jacket

Zack's Special Armor Powers: The Jacket bestows upon him a slew of extraordinary talents. Zack is virtually invulnerable when wearing the jacket; he can fly, has extraordinary strength, and can shoot devastating energy blasts. The one disadvantage of the armor is that it cannot be removed, but because it cleans and decontaminates the wearer automatically, there's no reason to.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: Because Zack is capable of taking on Superman-level enemies like the Viltrumites, he is more than capable of taking on Tony Stark in his Iron Man outfit. To put it bluntly, the Iron Man suit is the finest suit of armor a human could create, while the Tech Jacket is the best suit of armor created by any race in the cosmos.

4. Alphonse Elric

Alphonse's Special Armor Powers: Because he lacks organs, he never gets weary. He can battle eternally, however, most of the confrontations he's in don't last that long, given that he's a big suit of armor.
Alphonse is a brilliant alchemist, thus he knows how to deal with Iron Man. These powers might be used by Alphonse to convert Tony's suit, rendering him worthless in combat.

5. X-O Manowar

Special Armor Powers: The Shanhara symbiotic armor bestows a plethora of abilities on Aric. First, there are the standard Superman skills of strength, flight, and durability. However, the suit has X-ray vision, universal translation, and a form of precognition similar to Peter Parker's spider-sense. This armor, maybe most crucially, allows Aric to absorb and redistribute energy bolts.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: The Shanhara not only makes Aric quicker and stronger than Iron Man, but it also provides him with a great protection against Iron Man's main line of assault. Iron Man's sole genuine offensive weapon is his energy blasts, which Aric can easily absorb and re-deploy against Stark.

6. Prophet

Special Armor Capabilities: The nano suit has the ability to absorb kinetic energy, offer superhuman strength and speed, and make the user entirely invisible.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man? Prophet would utilize his hunting and concealing talents to pursue Iron Man in silence until it was time to strike.

7. Silver Samurai

Special Armor Powers: The armor's single unique feature is that it is entirely constructed of adamantium, making it almost indestructible.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: The energy blasts from Iron Man would have no impact on Samurai's armor. Because of his greater strength and stature, the Samurai should be able to slash through Tony's armor like he did Wolverine's claws.

8. Blue Beetle

Scarab's Special Armor Powers: The Scarab attaches itself to its owner permanently and then appears as a suit of armor. The suit improves the physical powers of its wearers by allowing them to fly and shoot energy blasts.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: Ted is a great hacker who could utilize his skills to get into Iron Man's software, just like he was able to break into and decode the Khaji Da's alien programming.

9. Batman ('Batman v Superman' Armor)

Special Armor Abilities: This armor is designed particularly to combat Superman. This includes high-frequency sonic weaponry, as well as kryptonite-infused gas bombs, which damage Superman's super-hearing talents. It's extraordinarily tough, as seen by Superman grabbing Batman and ramming him through a building's wall and then through the roof, with Batman exhibiting no indications of injury.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: Because the mecha Batsuit is powerful enough to withstand Superman's punches, Batman could presumably use it to pull Stark's armor off him. Alternatively, Batman might equip the Mecha suit with anti-Iron Man weaponry, similar to what he did for his fight with Superman, if he had enough time. Batman's greatest power, as the internet loves to say, is preparedness.

10. Atom

Special Armor Abilities: The Atom exoskeleton's principal purpose is to change its size. Ray may shrink himself as tiny as he wishes or grow to an enormous size by wearing the suit. The suit also has a cannon that lets him to change the scale of items in his environment. Energy blast technology is also included in the outfit.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man? Ray might utilize his ion gun to compress Iron Man while also allowing his suit to expand to unbelievable proportions. From there, it's as simple as stomping on Tony to start a fight.

11. Baymax

Special Armor Powers: The armor allows Baymax to fly and launch rockets, as well as providing a firm surface for him to punch with. Baymax, as a robot, may also download new talents, such as when he learns karate in an instant. Baymax is also capable of lifting up to 1000 pounds.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: If Baymax feels Iron Man is endangering Hiro, he would go to any length to safeguard his little companion. In a confrontation against Iron Man, Baymax's major advantage would be his size.

12. S.T.R.I.P.E.

Special Armor Powers: The S.T.R.I.P.E. suit is huge, standing 15 feet tall. This suit has the ability to fly, making Pat very powerful, and comes with a slew of useful devices. Pat, being an inventor, is continually upgrading the suit and adding new bits of technology to aid him and Stargirl in any task they are on.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: At 15 feet tall, the S.T.R.I.P.E. outfit dwarfs Iron Man's meager metal armor. In a direct brawl, their encounter would resemble Iron Man vs. Iron Monger from the original Iron Man film.

13. The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot

Source: Fox Kids

Special Armor Abilities: The Big Guy's armor has a military feel to it. It's loaded with weapons, can fly, and grants super-strength to the wearer.
How Would He Deal With Iron Man: The Big Guy is basically a beefed-up version of War Machine. How Would He Handle Iron Man: Given that Tony created the armor, War Machine may not represent much of a threat to Tony, but it would be intriguing to see how a more powerful version of the same idea that Tony is unaware of would fare against the Avenger.

14. M.A.N.T.I.S.

Hawkins' special armor not only allows him to walk, but it also grants him super-strength, super-speed, the ability to fire paralyzing darts, and renders him bullet-proof.
How Would He Handle Iron Man: If Hawkins enters the battle as a surprise, he may use one of his darts to paralyze Tony Stark before he ever puts on his armor, leaving him entirely worthless in a fight.
