Iron Patriot

The Iron Patriot is a superhero identity associated with the Marvel Comics universe. The character is primarily connected to Iron Man and the larger Marvel superhero narrative. The concept of the Iron Patriot armor was introduced as a variant of Tony Stark's Iron Man suits, but it has also been used by other characters in different contexts.

Incarnations

Norman Osborn

The most notable incarnation of Iron Patriot is Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. Following the events of the Secret Invasion storyline, Osborn is appointed as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and dons the Iron Patriot armor, which combines elements of Iron Man's technology with the colors of the American flag. This character played a prominent role in the Dark Reign storyline, where he leads a group of heroes known as the Thunderbolts.

James "Rhodey" Rodes

In some adaptations, including the animated series and video games, James Rhodes (War Machine) has also been depicted as Iron Patriot, particularly when he adopts a more patriotic persona or when he is working alongside or against Norman Osborn.

Characteristics

The Iron Patriot suit features a formidable arsenal, enhancing the user's abilities with advanced weaponry, flight capabilities, and other technologies similar to the Iron Man suits. The character is often portrayed as a complex and morally ambiguous figure, particularly in the case of Norman Osborn, who oscillates between being a hero and a villain.

In other media

The armor has been adapted to different forms of media, including toys, movies, television series and video games as well.
