The Mark IX Armor was Tony Stark's ninth Iron Man suit and the second suit created after the Battle of New York. The Mark IX was one of the first in a series of Iron Man suits created during a period of rapid development that led to the creation of the Iron Legion. It was destroyed by Pepper Potts.
History
The Mark IX was called, along with the rest of the Iron Legion, to help Tony Stark and James Rhodes during their fight against Aldrich Killian and his Extremis Soldiers. Near the end of the battle, after Tony Stark destroyed the Mark XLII in a failed attempt to kill Aldrich Killian, Mark IX appeared and targeted Killian and Pepper Potts, since both of them showed Extremis heat signatures. Pepper managed to destroy the armor with a punch through its chest, and used its arm to shoot a rocket she kicked toward Killian, finally killing him in the explosion.[1]
Capabilities
The Mark IX has more weapon systems than any of the past suits. It has feet that allow it to connect to the ground so the user doesn't have to move during battle.
