A Mandroid is a heavily armored personal combat suit originally designed and engineered by Stark International for use by S.H.I.E.L.D. (Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-enforcement Division). Now manufactured by Stane International, the Mandroid armor is primarily used for protection against opponents who possess superhuman powers. The Mandroid armor was first field tested by S.H.I.E.L.D. against the Avengers when the Avengers were being investigated for harboring aliens during a skirmish in the Kree-Skrull War. Mandroid armor was also worn by Major Glenn Talbot of the U.S. Army in a confrontation with the Hulk. The plans to the Mandroid armor were appropriated by weapons manufacturer Moses Magnum and were once employed against the X-Men in Japan. While not nearly as versatile and powerful as Iron Man's armor, the Mandroid armor nonetheless is a formidable offensive weapons system. S.H.I.E.L.D. currently has five fully operational Mandroid suits.
