The chamber was still intact, completely sealed, and concealed from view. When Tony's Malibu Mansion was raided, and later destroyed, the Mark XXI along with the rest of the Iron Legion were still stored safely within the Hall of Armors Chamber, as it was left undamaged during the attack. After he was finished creating the Mark XXI, he pursued to creating the next Mark suit, which was the Mark XXII, or otherwise known as the 'Hot Rod'. One of them was the Mark XXI.Īfter creating the Mark XXI suit, he kept it under his house in the place called the Hall of Armors, in where he kept all the other Mark suits that he had created one after the other except for the original 7 Mark Armors.
