AI Reimagines Iron Man’s Costume In Different Countries

Regarding the palette-swapped designs, Planet AI created eight marks. The Brazil, Canada, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, and Japan Iron Men are all different shades of the same design. Admittedly, the pure white France variant is gorgeous, but anyone who’s ever owned a pair of Converse knows that pristine look isn’t going to last. Also, it’s hilariously in character for Tony Stark to fashion a suit to tease a country. Why else would France’s Iron Man armor be white, if not to mirror the flag of surrender? Australia Iron Man deserves praise for wearing camouflage because it implies that even Stark is afraid of the outback and that somehow feels correct.

Planet AI’s remaining six designs — China, Egypt, Greece, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico — all play with the Iron Man aesthetic even more by changing the familiar shape of the armor. As previously mentioned, Greece Iron Man’s chromatic musculature is too reminiscent of Ultron to not be terrifying. China Iron Man offers a subtle change, with more sharp angles than the typical mark, while Egypt Iron Man looks like Stark just wanted to cosplay as General Grievous, maybe with the cough and all.

All 14 designs are amazing, but it’s Saudi Arabia Iron Man who literally takes the gold with its beautifully intricate armor. Some of the details feel so delicate that it’s almost impossible to imagine Stark having made it. Obviously, he didn’t — these are fan creations — but framing the fantasy within canonical lore is half the fun.
