Story Name:

Extremis Five of Six


Synopsis

Invincible Iron Man (2005 series) #5 synopsis by reviewer Julio MM
Rating: 4 stars

Tony Stark wakes up fine after a rapid 24-hour Extremis assimilation process (sped by Tony). He also enhanced the formula to store the undersheath of his Iron Man suit in his bones. Because of Extremis, Tony's biology is part human, part "machine", so he can now command the armor with a thought as if it were another limb. He puts on his latest suit, made of parts that fit in a suitcase, and surround him until they fall into place and link into a lighter, powerful "Extremis" Iron Man suit. Telling Maya Hansen that he can now see through the satellites, he goes out to face Mallen.

Note: During the period he was unconscious, Tony relived an "updated version" of his meeting with Professor Yinsen, how they built the first Iron Man armor, and his fight against the men who held them captive.

Invincible Iron Man (2005 series) #5 Review by (May 21, 2013)
Tony's external armour is the new lighter flexible version he'd been working on, that could once again be carried in a briefcase. As mentioned last issue, it didn't yet work because he couldn't get the control systems to fit in it, or the body-fitting undersuit. But now Extremis has the control systems in his brain, and the undersuit stored in his bones, and he can call the other components to fit round him. Outwardly the new suit looks the same as the previous armour. The new origin makes the creation of the original Iron Man a bit more believable. Stark had met Yinsen at a conference before. Yinsen had been working on magnetic removal of shrapnel, which was how he was able to devise the system which kept the metal shard from penetrating deeper into Tony's heart. And Stark had already been working on an exo-skeleton for military use.
