Iron Man Poster #77 Iron Patriot vs War Machine by Francesco Matt Mattina

Description

The original Iron Patriot armor was donned by Norman Osborn during the Dark Reign storyline when he establishes his own Avengers as an amalgam between Captain America and Iron Man. As Iron Patriot, Osborn exerts his authority as the ‘commander’ of H.A.M.M.E.R.. The Iron Patriot armor utilized a version of Iron Man’s armor painted in the colors of the American flag like Captain America. The armor featured superhuman strength, enhanced durability, flight, magnetic impact blasts, heat seeking missiles, miniaturized lasers, flamethrowers, and a communications system housed in his helmet which allowed him to interface with any U.S.-controlled satellite or computer network. While the Iron Man armors utilized repulsor technology, Osborn’s Iron Patriot design does not. Since Stark destroyed all but one repulsor, “Oz is too stupid” to make his own repulsor-based weapons system. The star shaped Uni Beam projector on his chest because of its shape has a less powerful output.
