8. Evader Prototype
In the Bad Blood storyline, four suits were created by Iron Man with a radically altered design; golden plate with the traditional Iron Man ‘face’ absent, and an almost chainmail-like design over the joints and arms. These were the four “Evader” prototypes, so called for their ability to automatically sense and evade collisions. They were immediately stolen by Justin Hammer. All four of them. Remember what I mentioned about Stark’s poor track record in this regard…?
Stored on Hammer’s space station, Iron Man had to bring out the next item on this list to pursue them and bring Hammer to justice. The storyline ended up showcasing this next item a great deal more than the radically redesigned Evaders, which were eventually taken by S.H.I.E.L.D., and they were not really given the chance to shine. Still, they are a worthy reminder that not all of Stark’s tech follows the same general design and colour scheme.
