"Okay, give me a smooch for good luck, I might not make it back!"
―(Iron Man 2) Tony Stark to Pepper Potts before jumping out of the plane using the Mark IV.

The Mark IV (Mark 4) was the fourth Iron Man Armor designed and created by Tony Stark as the successor to older Mark III model.[1]

The armor differs only slightly from it's predecessor, with only cosmetic changes to the armor plating, and a few changes in the capabilities of the armor itself.

The Mark IV was featured in Iron Man 2 along with the Mark V, Mark VI, and the War Machine Armor Mark I.

History

Before Iron Man 2

The Mark IV was created by Tony Stark sometime after Stark's revelation as Iron Man. Designed to succeed the older, damaged Mark III model, the armor features a slightly different design from it's predecessor, having a more streamlined appearance and edged armor plates.

Iron Man 2

Stark Expo Demonstration

0025

Stark arriving at the Stark Expo in the armor.

Stark used the armor to jump out of a plane for his entrance at the Stark Expo opening. Upon landing, the armor's pieces are detached off him by mechanical arms that keep the armor under the stage.

Armor in a Party

Stark later got drunk in the armor at his birthday party because of the radiation from the Arc reactor killing him and, believing that day to be his last, decided to enjoy it.

This lead to Rhodes stealing the Mark II from the armory. The two fought and damaged much of Tony's house. The suit was replaced with the Mark VI as a solution to the Arc Reactor's palladium poisoning.

Destruction

The Mark IV was destroyed in the attack on Tony's mansion in Malibu, exploding after missiles hit the armor from the helicopters along with the suits in the Hall of Armors.
