It’s no secret that Iron Man 3 is based on the Extremis storyline by Warren Ellis, which means that his new suit of armor is built by nanobots and it’s pretty much grafted onto his body. What does that mean? It means he can instantaneously call upon the armor at any time.

That’s right, he doesn’t have to go and have machines put on armor pieces from him. Today, Marvel decided to debut the new suit of armor for the fans at Comic-Con. The Iron Man 3 booth was already one of the more popular booths at the convention. Now it’s going to be absolutely insane.

Marvel is set to discuss Iron Man 3 later today at Hall H. [Marvel]
