1602 Armor

And now for something completely different. Marvel’s 1602 storyline entertained the idea of what would happen if the superhero boom started in 1602. Mutants being burned as witches, Norman Osborne taking advantage of Native Americans, and some of your favorite heroes being simple henchmen of the King of England. It was a hoot.

But one thing stood out from the rest was the King of England hired a young man named Anthony Stark to hunt down the fugitive known as Banner. Anthony builds an exceptional looking steampunk version of his Iron Man suit and takes a ship to the new world where his suit makes a big impression on the early settlers and for good reason.

Not only does this armor have a design loosely based off the military gear of the time (complete with a saber) the glow in the middle is somehow from a cooler source than the traditional arc reactor.

See, Anthony Stark realized he could power the suit by getting it hit by lightning. A little inconvenient on clear days though so that’s when Anthony Stark decided that he would literally invent how to capture lightning in a bottle. Not the term of speech, not being hyperbolic, he literally had a device that would attract lightning and then store the charge into glass contains which he could then fuel his suit with.

Just think of how cool this thing would look clunking into battle with sparks coming off of it from one of Thor’s lightning buffs. You could possibly even work a hidden animation into it where it gives off smoke when it’s hit with Thor’s buff to show it’s working overtime.
