IRON MAN SPACE ARMOR/ MARK 5

This suit was composed of impact-resistant carbon composites overlaid on top of layered "flex-metal" which could condense itself like a 3-dimensional accordion pleat. Micro-Scale suit tiles fabricated by genetically engineered metal-affinity bacteria, which assemble themselves in specific orderly arrays and then expire, leaving behind various metallic deposits which form all the metal shapes and micro-electronic circuits. This suit's matrix was formed non-collapsible to increase its protection from the rigors of deep space. Power was provided by a Mk V micro-nuclear supply pack, supplemented by solar power converters. Systems were controlled via a cybernetic interface, though it proved to be overly sensitive. The suit was designed for extended time outside of the atmosphere, up to two days in orbit (food and catheterization capable). The life support, boot jets and attitude maneuvering were powered by an on-board supply of liquid oxygen. Weaponry consisted of palm-mounted third-generation Repulsors (electron beams which require laser ionized path of air to travel through the atmosphere; the beam is moderated using a pulsing beam and early form of adaptive optics; objects are jolted away from the beam path by the combination of ionized air and the accelerated neutron beam) and a chest-mounted Unibeam (a variable intensity light source useable as a spotlight or a laser; the pentacle shape of the emitter allowed for more accurate laser pulsing while in an atmosphere), and epaulet-mounted concussion-burst cannons.

Sensors consisted of radar, sonar, infrared scanners, and radio. Features included ECM against radar and sonar, and the fully-articulated hands could be fired out on retractable cables for use as long-range grapples.
