Hey there y'all. I’m back again with another armor review for #welovetonystarkwednesday. Sorry that I missed the last 2 days. I’ve been VERY busy with work lately and recently I've just gotten sick so yeah. I’m not doing well. So today I hope to make up for the last days and continue this series.
Today I’m going to review the Mark-39 or as it’s more commonly known, Starboost.
I don’t really know much about this suit personally so much of the information that I’m using comes from the FANDOM page for the suit. I also wanted to choose this suit in particular cuz i think its very awesome and underrated.
So right off the bat the most notable feature of this suit is that it has the color white and it is apparently the only one with this color. So that makes feel a little more unique. the suit is also called Gemini or Starboost which honestly sounds much cooler. This was built for Space travel which I think is pretty damn cool. The suit offers protection from the vacuum of space, extreme cold-temperatures, and radiation. It has a built in oxygen supply for long travels in space. The suit is made of a special alloy that absorbs Tony's arc reactor signal.
Attached to the back are removable secondary thrusters to get through the atmosphere so whenever Tony gets out of space he can just remove them and use his repulsors. In order for it to break the pull of Earth's gravity, the Mark 39 has to be capable of flight many times faster than the speed of sound, making it one of the top 6 fastest suits in Tony's arsenal. The Mark 39, along with all the other newly built Mark suits, uses a more advanced technology that was based off on the Mark VII's technology, which is able to wrap itself around Tony's body, without the aid of robotic arms or any external mechanicals. It can flexibly open itself to allow Tony to enter into the suit and automatically wrap itself around him, anywhere at anytime, much like the Mark 42's technology and the other newly built Mark suits'. The suit has your regular repulsors for combat so nothing special there. It’s Ark Reactor though is very interesting. It’s Unibeam has a trapezoid shape and is powered by a Vibranium Arc Reactor. I think even Shuri would be impressed.
It is also equipped with a Large Concussive Cannon. It is possible that this cannon could be located in the forearm of one of the gauntlets. Now when it comes to design this suit looks spectacular! Everything just nails the whole space astronaut vibe perfectly. And it has such a great blend of colors. Looking at this sexy ass suit only makes me love Tony Stark even more.
That’s all I got for you guys today. Again sorry for my absence. I’ll try not to miss the next one. Happy Wednesday y’all. @we-love-tony-stark-wednesday
