What Happened To Everyone Who Wore Iron Man's Armour?

7. Mary Jane Watson

Mary Jane Watson might not be the first person you think of when it comes to Iron Man, but it might actually be fair to say that the character has spent more time with Tony Stark than she has with Peter Parker in recent years.

MJ starts working with Stark during Marvel's All-New, All-Different relaunch, doing so at the same time Peter is heading up Parker Industries. She briefly dons the Iron Spider armour while both Spider-Man and Tony while fighting Augustus Roman, before utilising Stark's armour in 2016's Invincible Iron Man #9. Those weren't even the first times she's worn the armour either, with MJ having suited up on no less than two separate occasions in 616 continuity before All-New, All-Different came along.

Back during J. Michael Straczynski's run on the Amazing Spider-Man, Mary Jane suited up in the Iron Man armour to take on Morlun. Both her and Aunt May would also suit up in Stark Tech back during Marvel Knights in a battle with Doctor Doom, although it must be said the two most recent storylines provided a better reason for MJ to suit up than those earlier ones did.
