  • Tony Stark used his suitcase to transport his armor in the Iron Man segments of The Marvel Super Heroes.
  • In the first season of Iron Man: The Animated Series, Tony Stark would suit up in his Modular Armor via a high tech briefcase. The case would fold out and transform into his suit for the obligatory suit-up sequence, which was used frequently. The briefcase idea was eventually abandoned in the second season, where Iron Man instead gained the ability to instantaneously change armors.
  • A modernized take on the suitcase appears in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, where Tony is able to access his Iron Man suit by using a specialized backpack.

  • In Iron Man 2, the briefcase from the comics is homaged with the Mark V suit. The new armor can be covertly transported by transforming into a compact briefcase, which then turns into the armor after Stark inserts his hands into special slots within the device. The color scheme of the armor and briefcase are meant as a nod to Iron Man's Silver Centurion Armor.
