Iron Patriot spotted on the Iron Man 3 set

[Sean Hollyman]

I don't know who he is, but he looks like a cross of Cap and Iron Man. Cool. I don't really like Iron Man, but felt like sharing. Thoughts?

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Ohh, shiny!

Here's the Mavel Wiki page on it, if you could call it a page...

History

Norman Osborn wears a full battlesuit patterned after the heroic images of Captain America and Iron Man. The battlesuit was cobbled together from StarkTech that had been confiscated from Tony Stark's armory at Avengers Tower shortly after H.A.M.M.E.R.'s formation. However, Osborn lacked the technical expertise on how to operate the armor's repulsor generators efficiently (replacing it with the not as powerful Uni-Beam projector star-shaped output), making it less powerful than Stark's Iron Man armors. It was hacked into and shut down for good by Iron Man at the end of the Seige of Asgard due to the armor based off an older design and has been not in use since.

During the Red Skull's invasion of America the armor was vaporized by Skadi.

Just as a note Norman Osborne is the Green Goblin from Spiderman, which is weird because he hasn't appeared in any of the movies apart from the very first Spiderman, which is being rebooted, so they'll almost certainly be changing it's origin and purpose quite a bit for this movie. Colour me excited!

Holy shit, I was not expecting that! The Iron Patriot is Norman Osborn in the comics. Yes that Norman Osborn.

EDIT: Hero in a half shell's right. They'll have to change the story as they won't have the license to use Norman Osborn. Still pretty cool though.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

I don't know what to think of this since Marvel doesn't own the spiderman rights. I wonder if this means they're going to make the dark avengers.

 

[CODE-D]

Its either stark doing a publicity stunt or takin a shot at cap after avengers
or

Its norman osborn(which i question? since that be weird right now)

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

I doubt that it will have anything to do with Norman Osborn or that it will an inferior model that gets hijacked by some villain (Iron Man 2 already did that). It's more likely a promotional stunt or have something to do with the army and War Machine (notice mounted minigun and the wrist guns).

Still, I couldn't think of a cooler outfit to wear on a Fourth of July.

 

[WolfThomas]

They might merge the Iron Patriot with Detroit Steel for the villain. Much how in Iron Man 2 it was Whiplash with Crimson Dynamo's origin.

Edit: From what I've read the film is going to have the Mandarin, Extremis and the guy in the suit is Eric Savin (aka Coldblood) as some sort of Iron Patriot/Detroit Steel type guy.

That's been around LOOOOONG before Iron Man 2. It's, like, always had that stuff.

 

[Radox Redux]

Well that's just awesome. It looks like they're continuing to the 'Armor Wars'-esque story from Iron Man 2. Looks like Uncle Sam got him some armor after all. My guess is that he'll turn out to be a Buck Turgidson-style loose cannon of some sort.

 

[Nouw]

Maybe they're setting up the Dark Avengers .

 

[gigastar]

Iron Patriot? How the livid fuck did Disney claw back the rights to use Norman Osborn?

Or... Did they not...

 

[Guffe]

So is Norman Osborn in the Iron Man series a good guy or still doing evil stuff in a Iron Man wanabe suit? I am not too into many origin stories.

In the comics its Norman Ozborn. But I am pretty sure it will be that Hammer guy from Iron Man 2 (and if it is I f*ing called that the minute I walked out of Ironman 2 )

And you are rigth he is sort of a cross between Cap and Ironman, Ozborn took over Shield and the Avengers and wanted to have a suit that represented both (Although he was a raving loonie!)

It would be interesting if The Amazing Spider-Man and The Avengers films take place in the same universe. I know they do in the comics but it would be awesome if they did that in the films as well. That way they could use Norman Osborn.

I'm unsure how they'll tackle this. Sony Pictures still owns the rights to the Spiderman movies, I'm guessing they either have a deal settled out so that they can actually use Osborn, or they'll make up another character to fit in the role.

 

[malestrithe]

It won't be Norman Osborne because he was licensed to Sony with everything Spiderman related made before 1998.

However, I guess that it is something that Justin Hammer would have made, unless Roxxon Oil is looking to branch out.

The villain of this movie is Extremis, that hyper intelligent computer virus Of coursethat powered Tony from circa 2008. The test subject is Coldblood, rather Eric Savin a cyborg hero that never took off.

I'm waiting for Iron Man 4, because there is going to be a 4th one, and have the villain be Deathlock, or Death's Head.

Actually, I'm curious. Sony only holds the rights as long as their Spiderman movies continue to do well. What if Marvel and Disney have done some background politicking to get the IP back? Maybe they bought the IP back with Disney's cash backing Marvel, or Spectacular Spiderman might be a dud.

Either way, neat suit of armor.

I wouldn't have thought so. Sony would be far too reluctant to sell that back

 

[FilipJPhry]

How the hell is Spiderman going to be in this? Doesn't some other studio own the rights for Spiderman?
