History
War Machine was larger and bulkier than its predecessors, and also had a more unique color scheme, using more blue and red tones reminiscent of the Iron Patriot armor. The Mark VII armor was constructed before 2023, and stored at the New Avengers Facility. During the Attack on the New Avengers Facility, James Rhodes was trapped underground with the damaged Mark VI armor. Ant-Man found the suit before responding to his comrades cries for help. After Ant-Man saved Rhodes he gave him the Mark VII armor, which Rhodes used during the Battle of Earth.
