Iron Man Armor: Mark XLIV

The Mark XLIV Armor, better known as the Veronica Armor, is a Tony Stark's Iron Man suit, created after the Iron Legion was destroyed during the Battle on the Norco. It is a modular suit that is operated from within while being linked to the Mark XLIII Armor.

History
Co-created by Bruce Banner and Tony Stark, Veronica was built to subdue the Hulk if lost control and became a threat to people. The Mark XLIV was connected to a satellite and was in constant orbit to be deployed at any time when the Hulk became a threat. After the Scarlet Witch manipulated Doctor Banner into turning into the Hulk, Tony Stark had no other choice but to deploy the system as all of the other Avengers with the exception of Hawkeye were defeated. The armor was deployed from orbit and came split into two separate parts. The first part was a metal containment shell which helped contained the Hulk for a period of time. By the time the Hulk had broke through the shell's defences, Stark had arrived with the second part of the system which consisted of the armor itself, and battled with the Hulk.

Much like its precursors from the Mark XLII onward the Armor was capable of being remotely controlled. If crtical damage was taken on any of its constituent parts Stark was able to jettison the damaged part and simply call for another replacement part from the container which would hover over the area in which the Hulk was rampaging.

Capabilities

 * Advanced Strength: The suit was designed to match the incredible strength of the Hulk should he ever need to be taken out, being powered by over eleven Arc Reactors in order to grant the strength required for such a task. The suit has enough strength to throw out the Hulk about two streets away with one punch.
 * Advanced Durability: The armor was built to be much stronger than any previous suits, to take more extreme damage, such as the Hulk's brutal attacks.
 * Flying: This armor like most of the previous suits can fly.
 * Repulsor Beams: The armor has the ability to shoot repulsor beams strong enough to hold down Hulk.
 * Prehensile Technology: Using an independent propulsion system, each section can fly to the user and automatically assemble into the Hulkbuster Armor. Despite being composed of individual parts, the XLIV is still able to sustain blows from the Hulk, unlike the XLII.

Trivia

 * The Veronica Armor's name is a reference to a character from the named  who is the "opposite" of, a character who shares her name with Betty Ross, the former love interest of Bruce Banner.
