Tony's connection to the Bleeding Edge armor allowed him to adjust his suit on the fly to create weapons, or even line the suit with liquid lenses so he can see in 360 degrees. Some of the unique capabilities of this new armor were Tony's ability to subtly use it to affect his everyday life, such as the time he used the liquid metal to coat his eyeball in order to enhance his vision, or when he used the armor to instantly protect himself during a failed test run of an R.T. As Tony Stark himself described it, the suit was composed of "neurokinetic user-controlled morphologic nanoparticle bundles" that created "a fibrous wetweb of iron and platinum" that was stored in the marrow of Tony's bones and powered by the R.T. The suit now took shape over Tony Stark like liquid metal, forming layers of armored musculature instantly over his body to form the crimson-and-gold armor, which took on a more fluid design than previous armors.
IRONMAN BLEEDING EDGE FULL
While the full armor debuted in Invincible Iron Man #25, it was designed by Marvel Studios' head of visual development Ryan Meinerding.
IRONMAN BLEEDING EDGE UPGRADE
When going over the plans for Tony's new suit, Reed said that it was an upgrade to Extremis and to Stark as well, but Tony rejected that and said that "this is what comes next." to power his brain as well, which allowed him to direct some of that immense energy to his brain to increase his intelligence.
This also meant that Tony Stark was able to use the R.T. node in Tony's chest also powered his entire body, including his life functions like breathing. Due to the enhanced connection from the Extremis serum, the R.T. Tony's Repulsor Tech had powered his suits - along with the electromagnet that kept his heart going - for years. Thankfully, Tony Stark has powerful friends, and he teamed up with Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four to help him create his most advanced suit of armor yet, which became the Bleeding Edge armor. This left him with a gap in his memory after he reinstalled a backup of his brain, a body designed to work with a system that no longer existed and no resources to fix any of his problems. Unfortunately, after his near-death at the hands of Norman Osborn during the Siege event, Tony was forced to purge the Extremis from his body, while also liquidating his company, destroying his armors and erasing his brain to keep his secrets away from Osborn. Extremis was created as a super-soldier serum that essentially rewrote the brain's repair center, and allowed for powerful upgrades to the body that ultimately integrated Tony Stark completely with his armor that effectively made his entire body part of Iron Man. The story of this incredibly advanced armor begins with Warren Ellis and Adi Granov's 2006 Iron Man run, which introduced the Extremis virus. It’s easy enough to shove back down but it’s a constant struggle.Now, we're going to take a closer look at the Bleeding Edge armor, which already jumped into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Infinity War. It rides high and gets stuck on top, looking more like a restraint than an integrated part of the overall figure. It does it’s job and I appreciate that, but you make any movement above the chest and that thing is popping out from behind the torso armor and gapping up. If there is any one part I’d change, it would be the floating neck collar. I did get some looseness to some of the little Revo joints when weighting them down with several blasts or missiles, but it’s not terrible. Each and every one of them work spectacularly.
And that’s even before you stab the many, many accessories into the body. The paint is beautiful, the sculpt sharp. It works if you’re not a stickler for that though. It does fit by the way, but the head is a little small and it does have that Yamaguchi stylized look, so it’s not perfect. This will appeal to people who don’t care for Revoltech, who may want to add this to their Legends shelf. When going action heavy, it’s more intuitive. It makes snagging a vanilla pose sooooo much easier. I don’t know if it was a conscience effort on Kaiyodo’s part or if it just worked better that way because it’s Iron Man, but I like it. And honestly, it doesn’t affect posing at all. Surprisingly, the traditional Revo joints are only used in the neck, shoulders, elbows, and wrists, whereas more standard means of movement is used everywhere else. This Iron Man takes all that and streamlines it into a more user-friendly experience. And that’s not to say the rage-inducing process of posing some Revoltechs is “bad”, just kind of necessary.
