Iron Man Armor: Mark XLV

"My son was excited. He could see the Iron Man from the car window."

- Helmut Zemo to T'Challa

The Mark XLV Armor was Tony Stark's forty-fifth Iron Man suit, used during the Battle of Sokovia and created after the Iron Legion was destroyed during the Battle on the Norco.

History
Tony Stark utilized Mark XLIII and XLIV, but they were both damaged after the battle against Ultron and a mind-controlled Hulk, respectively.

As the Avengers prepared to fight Ultron in Sokovia, Stark made the Mark XLV as his new battle suit. Before the suit's completion, he inserted a new A.I. called F.R.I.D.A.Y.. Stark used the suit to arrive to Sokovia, and with the help of F.R.I.D.A.Y., he tried to come up with an idea to destroy the the flying Novi Grad before it would reach the ground. Stark, along with Thor, used the suit to destroy the meteor in mid air.

Appearance
The Mark XLV has a unique design compared to its predecessors, specifically the hexagonal-shaped indent around the circular Arc Reactor. Its paint scheme has more red than gold. The helmet design is similar to the Mark XLIII but has a more curved and sleek fashion.

Capabilities

 * F.R.I.D.A.Y.: After J.A.R.V.I.S. was introduced into Vision's body, Tony Stark had to choose an alternative A.I. to replace it.
 * Advanced Laser System: This new armor incorporated the laser system that's been utilized in many other suits, most notability the Mark VII.
 * Flight: This armor, like most of the previous suits, can fly.
 * Repulsor Beams: The armor has the ability to shoot repulsor beams strong enough to destroy Ultron's sentries. This suit's repulsor beams were incredibly powerful as they were able to melt the Vibranium outer shell of Ultron's third body, when utilized together with a beam from the Vision's Mind Stone, and lightning strikes from Mjølnir.
 * Unibeam: Like previous armors before it, the Mark XLV can shoot a powerful beam from the chest where the Arc Reactor is located. This weapon seemed to be electrically based as electric like arches were seen in its beam and covered the area surrounding the beam with electrical arches.
 * Autonomic Prehensile System: Similar to the Mark XLII, each part of the suit could be summoned to Stark using physical gestures that would begin to lock itself onto his body.
