iron man 2020 wears a suit of highly sophisticated armor, similar in appearance to the classic iron man armor (circa model 5), with the exception of the faceplate and shoulders. beam weapons are fitted in the gauntlets of the suit, as well as the chest beam and shoulder epaulets. the user no longer requires a cybernetic link in the helmet to control the armor; the helmet can also be hidden via cloaking technology, which was presumably developed based on the chameleon mode of the silver centurion armor. iron man 2020's systems are built for warfare, not super heroics like the original iron man. iron man 2020's repulsors (and an arsenal of other weapons) always fire at maximum power for the most lethal effects. curiously, iron man 2020 also has the original iron man's 1970s-era rollerskates (updated to a "roller blade" style) built into the boots of the suit.
