Tony Stark built dozens of Iron Man suits, but the question as to which one was actually first in the MCU isn't as straightforward as it seems.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of the most riveting parts of watching Iron Man's origins in his first movie is seeing how his iconic suit came to be. The sleek red and yellow design he dons in his later MCU appearances is iconic, but that's not where his suits began. Tony's first suit design is a large, hulking body of armor made out of metal scraps he obtains as a captive.
While comparatively less impressive than Tony's later Iron Man suits, this suit, later dubbed the "Mark I," is arguably the most important as it demonstrates just how ingenious of an inventor Tony really is and how he responds to dangerous situations. When he returns home, he continues engineering, refining the suit to achieve the “Mark III” mode. It's this suit that he wears for most of the movie and inspires his suits in the rest of the Iron Man movies.
“The Mark III armor was actually the very first armor to begin the design process, with the Mark II and Mark I armors being reverse engineered off its success. To start the Mark III process rolling, Phil Saunders turned out several pencil sketches of armor concepts that revealed the maturation of design proportions, the nuts and bolts of the suit’s size and shape.
It appears that Phil Saunders and his team wanted to ensure that the Mark III would have a memorable design as it would become the one audiences are most familiar with and wanted to maintain continuity between all three designs. Knowing that Mark I and Mark II were designed from Mark III explains why the suits' evolution feels so seamless; in reality, the last design was the first. It also clearly inspires the suits that follow in later films.
