Iron Man's Prison Armor Proved Tony Stark Can Make Armor Out of Anything
Tony Stark is one of Marvel's most inventive heroes, but Iron Man's prison escape armor remains one of his most impressive creations for the genius Avenger. While serving time in prison, Stark once built a suit of armor entirely from items he found in prison, creating a functioning Iron Man suit of armor that was used to take on the villain Whiplash. The prison armor ended up also being a great reference to Tony's classic origin.
Iron Man has created some incredible armors in his Marvel Comics adventures, including high-tech suits specifically designed to take out some of the strongest heroes in existence and powerful armors built into his own skin. However, when Tony Stark was framed for killing three thousand people in Russia, he was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Despite being thrown in the slammer, Stark showed off his creativity and engineering skills in their most low-tech form, building prison escape armor, which he constructed out of basic things he found while incarcerated.

In Iron Man vs. Whiplash #2 by Brannon Braga, Marc Guggenheim, Phillippe Briones, Matt Milla, Chris Chuckry, SotoColor, and Dave Sharpe, Tony Stark is in prison waiting to prove his innocence. While killing time, the hero decides to steal different items, including a ladle, a motor from a washer/dryer, an MP3 player's battery, sheet metal from the workshop, springs from his bed, pots and pans, and lightbulbs, to build his own suit of prison escape armor. Building the armor is a great callback to creating his first suit, as like inside the cave, he used whatever he had available to make it.
