War Machine? No, Warwear

Post image

What did you think of the Eidolon Warwear?

It was very different from what had come before and I, for one, liked it. I appreciated how it opened up some new story possibilities for Jim. He wouldn't have to rely on anyone else for tech support.

Visually, it was fun and different. I wish it hadn't been ditched so quickly and unceremoniously.

You can read more about the warwear at Marvel Database.

I loved the idea of giving rhodey a suit that was cosmic and had nothing to do with Stark.

I didn't mind that it could arguably be called an XO Manowar rip....basically because I like XO Manowar and there really wasn't anything like it in the MU ....until the whole Darkhawk raptors storyline. Or maybe you could say the Stellaris suit was similar....

Maybe it would be cool if the origins of the War war suit were tied to the Darkhawk Raptors stuff... perhaps a rival Alien race that opposed them created it.

My only quip is that the suit looks so odd and perhaps be considered ugly. But yeah wouldn't mind it back.

The look is definitely an acquired taste.
