Who Is Your Favorite Armored Character!?

[John Venus]

Never read an Aztek but boy but does that helmet and costume look cool.

When I saw the name of this thread, the first name that came to mind (and, quite honestly, the only one) was John Henry Irons "Steel", which I always thought of as DC's Iron Man. But then, surprise, so many cool options. Some, I have a hard time thinking of as an armored super-hero (my personal problem here. They do fit the bill), but others, such as Skyrocket, Hardware, Monarch, STRIKE, etc... I love, and they could have gotten my vote (too bad it was only one), but as soon as I saw the Atomic Knight, there was no other on whom I could vote. I've been a HUGE fan of Gardner Grayle ever since he showed up in Wonder Woman pré-crisis and then appeared in COIE and later sort of joined the Outsiders before the end of the book's Baxter series. He deserves to be back in the spotlight.

I voted Steel as fav character, but shout out to my favorite armor design, which would go to Blue Beetle.

Gotta say I went Robot Man, choosing to interpret it as Bob Crane, alias Paul Dennis. The original Iron Man.

I'm not sure what metal his original body was made of, but the old "Who's Who" entry for him said his other bodies were made of steel (not iron).

I voted for Steel. I think John Henry Irons is a pretty damn great character.

I had never seen "The Big Chill" before but I just watched it. Amazing though unclear as to why he even needs the containment suit in this version.

I think "Heart of Ice" is still better as a one-shot but "The Big Chill" version probably has more potential for multiple appearances. Although TBC would seem to be a far colder *ahem* version, I couldn't help but notice that swerving to avoid killing an old man was what got him caught and he never killed anybody assuming all of them can be thawed like the first guy.

Wait, is BumbleBee considered an armoured character?
