The Iron Man armor has undergone a wealth of modifications over the years. Tony Stark has designed a plethora of models for varrying scenarios. There's the Hulkbuster armor, the Stealth armor, the Undersea armor and, yes, a special armor to inspire that patriot in all of us.

To be fair, the Iron Patriot armor was first donned by Norman Osborn (aka The Green Goblin), but the duds have since been worn by different characters, most notably Tony's very own man-at-arms, Col. James Rhodes. Here are a few star-spangled Iron Patriot collectibles.
