What If Iron Man’s Friday Were in an Iron Man Suit?

The Ironman is a Hermosa Beach Fourth of July tradition that sees hundreds of competitors run a mile, paddle a mile and then chug six beers in the name of fun. The event has evolved over the years into a more than just a way for South Bay jocks and surfers to show off, with organizers now touting it as a great way for people of all ages and skill levels to compete in something they can be proud of. And the Ironman is not only a celebration of athletic prowess, but also the courage and determination of the men and women who have taken part over the years.

Taking on such a daunting task is the perfect way to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first Iron Man movie, which introduced audiences to the armored superhero and helped launch Marvel Studios into the stratosphere. The film starred Robert Downey Jr. as billionaire industrialist Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, and it was a massive hit that set the tone for the rest of the MCU.

It’s been almost a year since we watched Iron Man sacrifice himself to defeat Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, and Marvel fans are still mourning the loss of their favorite hero. But it’s not just Tony Stark they’re mourning, it’s the characters associated with him as well — including his artificial intelligence assistant FRIDAY.

The character of FRIDAY was created by Tony Stark as a way to avoid hiring another human secretary, and she quickly became a loyal companion to the hero. She is able to communicate with him using his voice and even acts as a security system. She is also a master of karate and can use the force of her will to overcome any obstacle in her path.

As an added bonus, she can also withstand a nuclear explosion without being damaged. But what would happen if the real-life FRIDAY was put into an Iron Man suit? A YouTube user named Stryder HD decided to answer this question with a special video that shows what it would be like if the original FRIDAY were in a modern version of the iconic suit.

Kerry Condon voiced the role of FRIDAY for a whopping five movies starting with the original Iron Man, and she recently sat down with Collider to discuss her time in the MCU. She revealed that it was a bittersweet experience, especially when recording her last line in the scene where Iron Man dies.
