Iron Man’s suit is a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it has served a purpose well beyond just being Tony Stark’s go-to tech. Of course, it gives Iron Man his powers, but it has also been helpful to several other MCU characters who have, at some point, worn the famous suit.
In addition, there have been multiple versions and variations of the suit that have been taken up by other characters, such as Iron Monger and Spider-Man.
This is strictly speaking about the live-action MCU iterations. There have been multiple other uses of this famed technology in animated shows from the MCU, such as What If…?
