Iron Man Suit (Mark III)

Tony Stark's gold-titanium alloy armor from the MCU/Pop Culture

The Mark III Iron Man suit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the first fully realized red-and-gold armor. According to MCU supplementary materials and visual estimates, the suit adds roughly 10-15 cm of height to its wearer, bringing Tony Stark to about 1.93 m tall in the armor. The suit's stated mass is around 25 kg for the gold-titanium alloy shell, though with all systems the functional weight would be considerably higher.
