In recent comic books, both Norman Osborn and the Hammer family have plagued Iron Man with star-spangled armored incarnations. Matt Fraction's Invincible Iron Man has the wife and daughter of Justin Hammer fielding multiple mechanized suits called Detroit Steel, and a few years back, Norman Osborn played on a lucky break to become the Iron Patriot … which, coincidentally looked a lot like this …
That's a photo from the set of Iron Man 3, which is currently filming in North Carolina. That's actor James Badge Dale in the suit, by the way.
