All Might is one of a kind. When fans met the hero in My Hero Academia, All Might felt like an impossible standard to reach. Dubbed the Symbol of Peace, All Might have been a guiding light since My Hero Academia began, and that track continued even after the hero left his pro career behind. And now, My Hero Academia’s manga just put the legend back into battle with help from his own Iron Man suit.
Yes, you did read that right. My Hero Academia just took a big page from Marvel and Tony Stark’s genius. All Might has unveiled his own Iron Man suit with the help of a familiar tech whiz, and it is allowing him the chance to fight All For One with no quirk.

As you can see in My Hero Academia chapter 396, All Might kickstarts the big update with his new suit. The outfit is dubbed Armored All Might, and it would make Iron Man proud. The suit is stored within his car, and All Might is able to activate the armor process by calling on its AI, Hercules. Much like in the Marvel Universe, this high-tech suit crawls over All Might to lock into place, and it comes with all sorts of gadgets.
Complete with a face plate, this All Might suit no doubt bears the hero’s iconic colors, but there are tributes to other heroes here. For one, it seems Armored All Might features a metal cape similar to the one Deku inherited from Gran Torino. This version of All Might is truly an amalgamation of his desire to save others until the very end. Even without a quirk to his name, All Might is willing to face down the most powerful villain in the world, and All For One takes some bad hits for underestimating his nemesis.
As My Hero Academia moves forward, we can expect to see more of Armored All Might in action. The hero is not going down until he’s out for the count, so All For One vs All Might is going to be an intense one this act. And before long, it will fall to Deku to finish up the war with his battle against Shigaraki.
