It has been announced that the Suitcase Armor from theMCU’sIron Man 2will be added toMarvel’s Avengers. While participating in the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, Tony Stark along with Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts are attacked by Ivan Vanko’s Whiplash. to save Happy and Pepper, it is revealed that Stark’s robust, red suitcase is a portable suit of armor. But instead of the traditional red-and-gold armor, the suitcase mechanism unfurls along Stark’s body and encases him in a distinct red-and-white model, designated as Mark V.
Many players appear excited to have this skin added toMarvel’s Avengers' catalog. However, because players are still unhappy withMarvel’s Avengers' recent developments, the consensus from fans is that this is a sour time to announce more purchasable items. Further,Marvel’s Avengersis currently in hot waterwith its community of players, particularly due to the recent pay-to-win structure that Square Enix has enabled and the focus it has on Marketplace economics, such as microtransactions for these cosmetic skins.
Of course, optional skins do not contribute to in-game progression or other pay-to-win ambitions, but the announcement of skins upsets some fans nonetheless because a paywall is included. Rather, some players argue that skin costs are a result ofMarvel’s Avengers' free downloadable-contentthat provide new campaigns and characters. Some fans are satisfied with the game’s current condition and have simply waited for more skins to become available in the Marketplace to meet their stylish, cosmetic desires for each character.
While it only appears briefly inIron Man 2, the Suitcase Armor is one of Stark’s more unique suits from his solo films in theMCUand makes a welcome addition to theMCU-inspired suits that players candon as Iron Man inMarvel’s Avengerson October 28.
