They have been referred to as being magnetic, a blast of charged particles, and as a force beam. The repulsors originated as a hand attachment, but have since become the armor's most important standard armament. The defining abilities of Stark's armor are the jets situated in the boots and the repulsors situated in the gauntlets. Earlier versions of the armor could also fold virtually flat, allowing Stark to store them in his bullet-proof briefcase. Furthermore, they typically have multiple power sources including a secondary solar energy collection function in the event that conventional recharging methods are unavailable. Every suit has a self-contained environment, assorted onboard weapons systems, enhanced strength, flight, and various communications arrays and sensors, such as radar and radio. They are made of incredibly-strong, fictional materials bolstered by a force field.

In the fictional multiverse, 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. 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). Iron Man's armor is a fictional powered exoskeleton appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is worn by comic book superhero Tony Stark when he assumes the identity of Iron Man.
