Iron Man's armor is a fictional powered exoskeleton worn by the comic book character Tony Stark when he assumes the superhero identity of Iron Man. The first armor (which in the story, was created by Stark and Ho Yinsen), was designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, and first appeared, along with Tony Stark, in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963).
The appearance of Stark's armor has radically changed over the years, either as a result of modifications made by Stark or specialized armors created for specific situations.

Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
