Tony usually doesn't need to use a battle suit for combat; his primary combat equipment is still the Iron Man Suit.
The main purpose of the nano battle suit is to protect his safety when he hasn't put on the Iron Man Suit yet. This simple design allows it to be worn as an undergarment beneath his clothes at all times, making it inconspicuous while providing safe and reliable protection.
Of course, if he wanted to fight in a battle suit like Wang Jin, it's not impossible. This nano battle suit also has a cape that can be summoned at any time, but he just wouldn't be called Iron Man anymore.
This tight-fitting sportswear version of the nano battle suit paired with a cape doesn't look like a bat; to be honest, it looks more like someone draped in a bedsheet. So, names like "Underwear Man" or "Bedsheet Man" would be more appropriate.
However, although Tony Stark's nano battle suit looks ordinary and lacks the handsomeness and majesty of Wang Jin's, its defensive power is no different from Wang Jin's. The cape can similarly activate a shield and perform gliding.
In fact, Chen Mo's own suit is exactly the same as Tony's, but he has no intention of becoming Underwear Man or Bedsheet Man.
It's not that he, like Tony, only uses the Iron Man Suit for combat.
Although he spent a lot of effort to obtain all the technology and manufacturing methods for the Iron Man Suit, and his overall strength would be greatly enhanced with the armor's blessing, Chen Mo knows that the armor is only an external force. It can provide convenience for his actions and combat, but for him, the fundamental thing is still his own strength.
Therefore, Chen Mo will not rely on the Iron Man Suit like Tony, nor will he focus all his energy on strengthening the armor.
Although his strength becomes very powerful when wearing the armor, he cannot hide inside it forever.
Moreover, the armor is not omnipotent. Even if it is crafted using indestructible Adamantium,
Many people like Magneto and Professor X can still counter the Iron Man Suit. There are many people whose inherent strength is even greater than the armor; Superman, Hulk, and Thor can all defeat him.
After all, the Iron Man Suit is just a machine. Its strength, speed, and attack power are not considered top-tier, and its operating System can be hacked or interfered with. In truly high-level combat, it actually cannot play a very large role. What can truly be relied upon is Chen Mo's own power.
The reason Chen Mo insisted on obtaining the Iron Man Suit, besides his own preference, was more to deal with complex environments and situations. Chen Mo's positioning for it is as an auxiliary System.
Of course, for now, the Iron Man Suit's strength, speed, and large-scale attack capabilities are stronger than Chen Mo's own power. But as Chen Mo's strength improves, he will eventually surpass the armor. At that time, its main functions will be flight, defense, support, and area-of-effect attacks, while combat with powerful enemies will still depend on Chen Mo's own strength.
Just like its name, the Iron Man Suit, it is just a battle suit on the body of a peerless powerhouse like Chen Mo. Like his shield and sword, it is just a weapon in his hand. The most fundamental part is Chen Mo himself.
Of course, unlike the vibranium shield and the kings sword, the Iron Man Suit can be continuously upgraded and strengthened. Although it is relatively weak now, as the technological strength Chen Mo masters continues to improve, the auxiliary role it plays will also become stronger and stronger, and it will not be phased out as Chen Mo's strength increases.
Chen Mo's current personal strength is actually not that strong. If not counting anything else and only considering physical fitness, he is not even as good as Wolverine.
Of course, if the two really fought, with his superb combat techniques, Chen Mo still wouldn't lose to him. But with Wolverine's freakish recovery ability and nearly infinite stamina, it wouldn't be easy for Chen Mo to completely defeat him.
Most of Chen Mo's future battles will still rely on the nano battle suit.
But unlike Tony, Chen Mo has a storage space—he can cheat!
Chen Mo's original adamantium alloy armored combat suit was completely disassembled by him. He removed the composite bulletproof Materials originally used for fixed connections, keeping only the adamantium armor, which he stored in his space.
When he needs it, he only has to take out these armor pieces one by one, and the nano battle suit can attract them to its surface. In this way, it looks almost no different from the original adamantium alloy armored combat suit. Besides stronger defense, it also adds a cape that can be freely deployed and retracted, which can activate a large shield and perform gliding.
These adamantium armor pieces are not just scattered and piled in the space; instead, they are placed on a mannequin specially made according to Chen Mo's physique. As long as Chen Mo assumes the exact same posture as the model, he can take out all the armor at once, and it will perfectly cover the surface of the nano battle suit. He doesn't need to take them out and place them one by one, wasting time.
Of course, if there is no chance to strike the preset pose due to combat or other reasons, it doesn't matter. At worst, he can take them out and place them one by one. With Chen Mo's brain reaction speed, it actually doesn't take very long—it can be completed in just one or two seconds. With the defense of the nano battle suit itself, a delay of one or two seconds is no problem at all; it's just slightly more troublesome than completing it all at once.
Since he already has the nano battle suit, why go through the extra trouble of covering it with another layer of adamantium armor?
This brings us to the difference between Adamantium and Vibranium.
The greatest function of Vibranium Materials is actually absorbing kinetic energy and weakening attacks. Although its own hardness is greater than all other metals and its defensive power is very formidable, it has not reached the level of being indestructible. When the intensity of an attack exceeds the limit that Vibranium can withstand, it can still be torn and destroyed.
Adamantium is different from Vibranium. Its hardness is even greater than Vibranium, reaching an indestructible level; even a nuclear bomb cannot destroy it. However, its ability to absorb kinetic energy has become very weak, basically negligible.
The original adamantium alloy used to manufacture Chen Mo's shield, however, strengthened both the kinetic energy absorption of Vibranium and the hardness of adamantium to the extreme. While being indestructible itself, it can completely offset the attacks it receives, rendering all attacks ineffective.
Unfortunately, ever since Dr. Marklane fell asleep during an experiment and accidentally created original adamantium alloy, he has been unable to replicate that process no matter what. That shield is the only piece of original adamantium alloy in the world.
And this Vibranium Nanocombat Suit, which combines Wakanda's highest technology and is made using Vibranium, has strengthened the ability to absorb kinetic energy on the basis of Vibranium itself.
As long as it doesn't exceed the upper limit of absorption and storage, it can approximately achieve the effect of original adamantium alloy in ignoring attacks.
