Iron Man 3 opens today in the
U.S. so I couldn't resist sharing all eight of these spectacular suits from the
Marvel movie in all their glory.
Iron Man 3 Mark 42 armour
First up is
Tony Stark's brand spanking new armour from his third solo big screen outing, which has far more gold than red.

Next in descending order is his
Mark VII suit from
Marvel's The Avengers movie, where he teamed up with
Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye and
Black Widow to defeat
Loki's invading alien army.
Iron Man Mark VII Avengers armour
The
Mark VI with its controversial triangular chest plate first appeared in the
Iron Man 2 movie, and then it was destroyed at the start of
The Avengers when
Iron Man battled
Thor.

My personal favourite is the supercool briefcase suit that featured in
Iron Man 2 on the racetrack in
Monaco.
Iron Man Mark V briefcase suit
All these armours were photographed on display at the temporary
Stark Industries Tech exhibit at
Disney's Tomorrowland Innoventions attraction on April 17, 2013, to help promote the armoured
Avenger's third solo movie.
Iron Man Mark IV armour
Tony Stark makes his entrance at the
Stark Expo in
Iron Man 2 in the
Mark IV suit.
Battle-damaged Iron Man Mark III suit
Meanwhile the Mark II and III designs both featured in the original 2008 Iron Man movie that started it all.
Iron Man Mark II armour
And who doesn't like the clunky classic looking
Mark I armour that
Tony and fellow prisoner
'Yinsen' build to help keep the shrapnel from reaching his heart and to escape their terrorist captors in his debut origin movie.
