A medieval redesign of IronMan's armor by artist alexmaleev gives Tony Stark his most brutal weapon ever - an oversized ax paired with a shield that bears a strikingly familiar design.
A medieval redesign of Iron Man gives Tony Stark an armored downgrade that turns him into a way more brutal warrior. In 2013, to celebrate the character’s third MCU title, Marvel Comics commissioned some of the field’s top artists to celebrate Iron Man's most iconic armors. Superstar artist Alex Maleev turned in what might be the highlight of the group: a medieval Iron Man, complete with armor and some truly fierce weapons.
Although Iron Man first appeared nearly 60 years ago, it has only been in the last 15 years that the character has entered the true mainstream public consciousness, thanks in large part to Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2013, the cover image initiative named “The Many Armors of Iron Man” ran across many Marvel titles, recreating his iconic suits courtesy of the most acclaimed artists of the moment.
Given that Iron Man is a technology-based hero, a medieval variant of the character might seem out of place, but Iron Man was actually inspired by ancient knights - indeed, there have been multiple occasions where he actually managed to work alongside the ancient knights of Camelot. Even though this Iron Man variant exists hundreds of years in the past, he is still very much a “man of iron,” wearing an awesome suit that would make present-day Tony Stark proud.
At the same time, there's a melancholy to the image that honors Tony Stark's non-lethal approach to thwarting evil. Part of the appeal of character such as Iron Man is they can be reinterpreted into many contexts and historical eras, and Alex Maleev proved this with his medieval redesign, which gave Tony Stark his biggest weapon ever.
