Iron Man Mark VI

Main system

​The Mark VI armor was created by Tony Stark to replace the Mark IV armor when it was discovered that the Arc Reactor could be powered by a a new element, which did not wear out or poison the user. It is similar to the Mark IV in appearance except for the triangular chest piece. Stark developed the new core via building a particle accelerator, then superheating the primary triangular core to a white arc, creating a source acceptable for the Arc reactor.

Upgrades

Stark "Turn and Burn" Laser Weapon

The primary upgrade to the Mark VI is the inclusion of a prototype 200 PW laser system. The laser takes advantage of the increased power supply provided by the new RT chest piece and is configured for a one-time simultaneous shell discharge from each of the two gauntlets. The weapons may be chemical, as suggested by the nature of the ejected shells from the gauntlet. Another theory is that a micro-particle generator in the suit powered by the upgraded element could serve as a chem-particle core to generate energy enough to create an extreme exothermic reaction.

Mini Missiles

Stark upgraded the wrist-mounted mini-missiles to newer casings that allow the missiles to penetrate through armored surfaces before detonating. While modifying the suit's gauntlets for the new casings, he also increased the capacity to a circle of 8 missiles.They were shown to have great effect, as only three small missiles could critically destroy a Hammer Drone. The Mark VI is equipped with twin rectangular six barreled shoulder-mounted missile launchers. The missiles seem to be computer-guided and micro-jet powered. These have no differences from earlier armors. They proved ineffective against Vanko's Mark II armor when fired upon. An upgraded version of these were seen in The Avengers on the Mark VII, modified as hip-mounted universal direction missile launchers with a circle of 16 missiles.

The Avengers

Tony Stark uses the Mark VI armor throughout most of the movie, but it takes heavy damage while repairing the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier's damaged turbine after getting caught in the restarted engine briefly.

After performing some repairs, Tony manages to bring the armor back online and fly it to Avengers Tower in New York City. However, the damage results in an erratic flight across the city. Upon arrival, Tony blasts the wormhole device built by the brainwashed Erik Selvig for Loki with the armor's Repulsors, but fails to breach an energy shield surrounding the device. The explosion knocks Selvig out however and breaks Loki's mind control over him. As a result, Tony decides to go to Plan B - the Mark VII armor - and lands, a device extending from the landing pad to remove the Mark VI as he makes his way inside. When Loki tells Stark that he should've kept his armor on, Stark states that its "seen a bit of mileage."
