As the number of available MCU movies and series to pull from dwindles,Marvel’s Avengerscontinues to pepper its Marketplace and Shipment containers with associable outfit skins. Based upon the game’s insistence on MCU-inspired cosmetics,Marvel’s Avengers’potential future characterswill likely be ones established in the MCU so that this trend can persist.
On April 1, which was maybe a poor date choice,Marvel’s Avengersoffered its MCUIron Manskin to players for free in the Marketplace. Unsure if this was a cruel joke or not, players were still upset about the fact that an otherwise paywalled cosmetic was now offered for free since it did not seem fair to those who had already purchased it. Now,Marvel’s Avengershas quickly announced its latest MCU skin for Iron Man, and it is one that MCU fans have asked for constantly.

An Iron Man skin inspired by Tony Stark’s armor inAvengers: Infinity Waris set to joinMarvel’s Avengers' current cosmetic catalog. Indeed, theAvengers: Infinity Warskin will now be available for purchase besides skins from the MCU’sAvengers: EndgameandIron Man 2. Meanwhile,Iron Man’s skin is currently free, andIron Man 3’s skin was previously earnable inMarvel’s Avengers' Shipments. Iron Man has been particularly favored in terms of characters that have already received a bunch of MCU skins, but fans are probably pleased to see the Mark L armor at last.
Iron Man’s Mark L, or Mark 50, armor inAvengers: Infinity Waris a much more technologically advanced suit than the ones that fans were previously familiar with. Mark L is created with nanotechnology that flows across Tony’s body and can malleably transform different parts of itself into weapons, such as a broad wrist blade or a shield. This will not be a possible function of the suit when it arrives inMarvel’s AvengersMarketplacetomorrow, but it still features a sleek, technological design that has become popular with fans of the MCU.
Further, Iron Man bravely stands toe-to-toe with Thanos himself in this armor and even manages to nick him. But as advanced as it is, the Mark L armor is still an inferior match for Thanos alone and is torn apart piece-by-piece. This armor is not to be confused withAvengers: Endgame’s Iron Man armor also included inMarvel’s Avengers, which features a duller gold luster that is more prominent on its arms and legs.
MCU cosmetics are ultimately a welcome addition toMarvel’s Avengersas long as their importance does not supersede that of the game’s necessary updates and bug fixes. If a new roadmap is still planned for an announcement this year,Marvel’s Avengersmust demonstrate that new, substantial content is its priority rather than monetized outfits.
Marvel’s Avengersis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
