Did ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Hint Towards Iron Man’s Bleeding Edge Armor?

You thought the Hulkbuster was cool.

Well, Marvel fan or not, everybody will be amazed to see what the Bleeding Edge Armor can do. It has been rumored that Tony Stark will use this specific armor later on in the MCU, presumably in Phase 4.

Even Batman likes it.

What is the Bleeding Edge Armor?

The Bleeding Edge Armor was the first armor powered completely by repulsor technology. The armor is kept inside Tony’s body until mentally commanded to form any structure or shape upon Tony’s skin.

It consists of Nano-machines that can change their properties depending upon the structure commanded, and can transform into clothes and different armors. Due to the capability of transformation, it can repair itself and is almost invulnerable. The transformation depends entirely on Stark’s imagination such as a boxing glove and even a sword.

Like this sort of gun

And umm…this thing.

Apart from that, it also provides a 360-degree panoramic view to Tony around himself through installed cameras.

Pretty cool, right?!

What does Age Of Ultron have to do with it?

One might think, at this point, that what kind of technology will be presented in upcoming movies to make the audience believe that this level of advancement is achievable in an Iron Man suit. It might be possible that they already have shown us a glimpse in Age of Ultron.

Remember when Hawkeye was hurt really bad at the start of the movie?

Yup, pretty bad.

Dr. Helen Cho cured him with some kind of nano-technology. Bruce Banner then claimed that she was creating tissue.

This is when Mr. Stark walks in and Dr. Cho says:

This is the next thing Tony. Your clunky metal suits are going to be left in the dust.

To which he replies:

That is exactly the plan.

We know that the ‘next thing’ will be the Bleeding Edge Armor, so it’s quite possible that it’s designed the same way Barton’s tissues are being made. I mean, this method did create a living body i.e. Vision. The armor metal may bind with Tony’s tissues the same way the Vibranium atoms bonded with Vision’s. It may be possible that the same regeneration cradle is used to merge the BEA with Tony Stark’s body.

Vibranium atoms binding with tissues.

Didn’t see that coming, huh?!
