One of the biggest mysteries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is solved. The Iron Man mask, the helmet that hides Tony Stark’s face, is now revealed in the first image from Marvel’s new Avengers: Endgame trailer. The image shows the Iron Man Mark 50 armor, which features red and gold highlights. It appears to have the same technology as the other suits, but with a few key differences.
It’s not clear exactly what the new mask looks like, but it is a major upgrade over the old version. It is lighter and more streamlined than the previous version, with more angular lines. It also has a more prominent eye feature and less of a curve at the top. There are also two different versions of the chin plate, which allows it to be worn in either a down or up position.
Unlike the previous masks, which were crafted of actual metal, this one is made of polycarbonate, which should make it more durable. It is also a bit larger than the previous model, which should give it a more imposing look. It will be available in a limited edition, with a special red and gold color scheme.
The masked prisoner from French novelist Alexandre Dumas’s 1847 tale, The Vicomte de Bragelonne, has captivated readers and inspired generations of playwrights and movie directors. The mystery has spawned many theories about the identity of the man, including that he was Louis XIV’s twin brother, who was cruelly hidden from the world to preserve the Sun King’s legitimacy.
In reality, the most likely man in the iron mask was a lowly prisoner named Eustache Dauger, who was arrested in 1669. Historians have speculated that he was the man in the iron mask based on a letter from a minister to his jailer, Benigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, that ordered him to restrict his communication with others and to “threaten him with death if he speaks one word except about his actual needs.” When he was transferred between prisons, he was always accompanied by his guard, who kept his face covered.
It is believed that the mask was not worn all the time, as it would have led to infections. It was probably worn only at certain times, such as when he was being transferred from one prison to another or when he was being visited by his sister. It was also probably not made of iron, but rather black velvet, as there is no historical evidence that it was ever made of anything else.
The mask includes light effects that activate when the chin plate is flipped up, similar to the interior view of the Iron Man’s high-tech helmet. It’s the perfect accessory for kids to imagine themselves as their favorite Marvel heroes and join them in their fight to defend the universe from threats like Thanos. It fits most apprentice Avengers and features an adjustable strap. The mask is available at Hasbro and online.
