  1. ##**[Model 1, the Original Armor](https://imgur.com/a/BOkOTTO)**
  2.  
  3. > The Mark I Armor isn't about pretty. It's about power. It's about iron and the man wielding it.
  4.

  6.  
  7. Millionaire playboy industrialist Anthony Stark took a trip to Vietnam during wartime to demonstrate his weaponry to the US military. While in the jungle, he activated a tripwire and wound up with a chestful of shrapnel dangerously close to his heart. A communist warlord abducted the injured American and forced him to work with China’s greatest physicist to build weapons until the shrapnel killed him. Together, Dr. Yinsen and Tony instead built a suit of armor to draw the metal away from Tony’s heart and allow him to fight back against his captors. This is the armor that saved his life.
  8.  
  9. In this armor, Tony fought the Norse god Loki and met four other superheroes, forming the original Avengers lineup. He’d fight villains with equipment specifically designed to counter his technology, like the Crimson Dynamo and the Melter, but Tony would always find the right attachment to triumph. Eventually, the heavy build of the armor would prove too cumbersome when fighting a body-controlling villain named Mr. Doll, which prompted Tony to build the lighter Model 2 armor.
  10.  
  11. In the years since the Model 1’s construction, Tony has made countless superior suits. Compared to the newer, shinier models, the Model 1 is clunky, rough around the edges, low-tech, has poor battery life and rusts in heavy rains. But despite the armor’s drawbacks, it will always be the suit that got Tony out of the jungle and allowed his heart to keep beating. It will always be the suit that created Iron Man.

  15. **Notes**
  16.  
  17. Hover over a feat to view its source.
  18.  
  19. In the middle of his rehab from alcoholism, Tony rebuilds an armor for a leisure activity. He remarks that [it’s “almost identical” to the Model 1 he built in Vietnam](https://imgur.com/a/r97RXyAhttps://imgur.com/a/TAlAWT4 "Iron Man (1968) #191"), so that armor’s feats have been folded into this thread as well. It only features minor differences, like [manual release clips instead of magnetic ones](https://imgur.com/a/90UKKEs "Iron Man (1968) #194"), or [fuel-based jet boots over air-based ones](https://imgur.com/a/V210WIb "Iron Man (1968) #192").
  20.  
  21. Many villains or characters have copied or hijacked the armor over the years. The second villain fought by the Avengers is an alien named the Space Phantom with the ability to copy the forms of his enemies. Another shape-shifting alien named the Transformer later pulls a similar trick. Normal human beings have stolen or borrowed the armor, like Dr. Demonicus and Mary-Jane Watson. Feats will be marked if someone other than Tony is piloting or copying the Model 1 armor.
