Instant Armor	comment	Armor is nice, but it takes time to put on and take off, and can be kind of clunky if you have to go through narrow passageways depending on its size, also getting out of it in a hurry if you need to go to the loo can be a real pain. It's not like you can just wear it all the time! Wouldn't it be much nicer if you could just create a suit out of thin air — or, alternately, out of whatever raw-materials happen to be handy — whenever you need one? Well, if you've got Psychic Powers, Functional Magic, a friendly Symbiote or just some really nifty gadgets, you can! Can range in size from a form-fitting suit to full-fledged Humongous Mecha; if the former, it may or may not be Powered Armor as well. It can also be used as a type of One-Winged Angel or Super Mode for the character in question. Note that we're not talking MacGyvered Powered Armor here — rather, the armor is propelled and assembled by supernatural power of some sort, or teleported in/assembled on the spot by Nanomachines. As a rule of thumb, if it takes more than a couple of minutes to assemble, it does not belong here. Collapsible Helmet is a more specific Sub-Trope where only the helmet appears/disappears. Compare/contrast Henshin Hero, Elemental Armor, Elemental Barrier, and Wreathed in Flames.

Instant Armor / int_11fd6993	comment	The "Golem Condiut" and "Aura Condiut" in inFamous are also examples of this. The first is a psychokinetic member of the Dustmen, who has pulled together a motley assembly of mainly-metallic trash, into a vaguely humanoid form. The toughest and most annoying unit in the game, hands down. The second, meanwhile, is a telekinetic member of the First Sons, who is basically projecting a gigantic (and vaguely purple) spectral image of himself, stomping around and smashing stuff while his real body floats in the center.

Ranging from reconstructing his own broken armor from nearby junk, to forging himself into a gigantic steel titan! At one point, he disassembled his suit, sitting on a chair nearby, into sand-sized grains and re-formed it around himself, in seconds. Armor can create magic armor around her body. (Well, DUH...) She would mockingly acknowledge the "duh" factor by wondering what if she called Wolverine, well, "Claw"... or "Stench"... Colossus, who can at any time turn his entire body into organic steel. Likewise, Emma Frost can transform into a diamond form. Indra of New X-Men: Academy X possesses a physically retractable exoskeleton. The mechanic behind his power is unknown, but he is able to summon his exoskeleton almost instantaneously and with little to no restriction in his mobility.

Instant Armor / int_44127c7c	comment	A few Power Rangers battleizers have this property. In fact, for a given value of armor, most Tokusatsu series that involve manifestation of their suits count as this trope, as they are only spandex, latex, or leather bodysuits out-of-universe, whereas in they are far more advanced than how they appear (think of how the above example of Iron Spider from Avengers: Infinity War looks). Furthermore, as best exemplified by Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Space Sheriff Gavan: The Movie, most of these transformations are generally instantaneous, less than a second (though more recent entries are hardly so, to the point of obviously invoking Transformation Is a Free Action and subversions of that trope). When we don't get the Transformation Sequence, it's usually just a flash and the suit is fully formed. Gavan's narration tells us Once per Episode that it actually takes .05 seconds. (Team-ups reveal that the Gokaigers' suit-up is much faster, while the Go-Busters' suit-up is much slower, but both do happen in less than a second. Mind you, the Go-Busters' transformation is usually done without a stock footage morph sequence, but in 'real' space and time, and no, it is not that fast as far as we can see.)

The one downside is that generating the armor inevitably shreds her clothes. Each time Sam armors up, it looks a little different, with the suggestion that she's doing this on purpose — which makes sense; Sam's an artist in her day job.

In Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Tony Stark is 16-years-old, and he's already figured out how to fold up the Iron Man Mk-1 armor into his backpack (equipped with anti-gravity servos so it doesn't weigh him down), with it unfolding and reforming in a matter of seconds.

Instant Armor / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Iron Man Films: In the second film, Tony Stark has a suitcase that turns into a suit of armor, as a nod to the comics. However, it's more of an Emergency Weapon, as it is significantly less powerful than the regular armor, and apparently only mounts the palm repulsors for weaponry. Still comes in very handy in a pinch. As part of Stark's continuing upgrades to his armor, this type shows up in The Avengers (2012) — except that not only can it be stored in a cupboard, it is fully capable of flying itself to him and assembling itself around him autonomously. How long does this take, you might ask? Less time than it takes to hit the ground falling off of Stark Tower (barely). A prequel comic to the second film shows Tony trying different ways of making the armor come to him. One involves a missile that flies to him and buries its nose in the ground. That fails spectacularly, as the impact destroys the armor. By the third film, individual armor components now fly to Tony thanks to implants in his arms. Not only that, but he has pre-programmed gestures that can get the armor to assemble on someone he points at. He does this during the Mandarin's attack on his mansion to put the armor on Pepper (unfortunately, he never told her how to use the repulsors) and later to force the Big Bad into one of his armors and blow it up. In Black Panther (2018), Shuri makes T'Challa a new Panther suit that uses nanotechnology to keep it stored inside a necklace and will instantaneously suit him up when needed. She lampshades the notion of heroes fumbling around trying to put on an outfit as the reasoning for the upgrade. The Bleeding Edge (or Mark 50) Iron Man suit in Avengers: Infinity War represents an even further advancement of the technology, as it is capable of unwrapping itself from a holder on Tony's chest roughly where his Arc Reactor used to be, ensuring that Tony is never without protection. The Iron Spider suit is likewise instantaneous as it is made using the same nano-technology that the Mark 50 uses. Avengers: Endgame: The far more advanced Mark 85 also falls into this category. Curiously, however, despite being implied to have been constructed at the same time as the Mark 85, Pepper's Rescue Armor, like the War Machine series, is not nanotech, but neither does it seem to be like the above mentioned Mark 42. The quantum realm suits that the Avengers don to travel in time are all made from nanotech, allowing them to appear and disappear in a moment. Spider-Man: No Way Home has Spidey now wearing a nanite costume, which even allows him to use a portion of the machines to trap Doctor Octopus's tentacles to the floor. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has the title duo now having their suits contained in pocket-sized modules, that once pressed against their chests have the suits form over their clothing. Cassie's suit presumably works the same way as well.

Instant Armor / int_6a4bddd6	comment	Iron Man: Iron Man's original armor took him a minute and a half to manually put on. Ever since his second suit, the time for the suiting-up process has been greatly diminished. For the Model 2 armor, it took Tony Stark only two seconds to slip on each limb into the suit. The suiting-up process of the Model 4 took "mere micro-seconds." These time measurements don't include the time it would take for Stark to put on the torso section of the armor, which he always carried on. Later suits, namely the Model 16, could even be summoned from a distance, and fly over him before enrobing him. The suiting-up process for the Extremis Armor makes it a form of Instant Armor. The armor plates are self propelled and can assemble around Tony in a matter of seconds, while the inner layers of the armor (the undersheath) are stored inside Tony's body. The suit-up was fast enough to fly over to Tony and enrobe him in the middle of an explosion. The Bleeding Edge Armour was stored in its entirety within Tony's body, which allowed for an extremely fast suit-up. The entirety of Stark's Model-Prime Armor could be stored within a watch, and enrobe him in a matter of milliseconds.

None of the characters in the story proper have reached that level just yet, but in Dalinar's vision of the past, a Knight can be seen casually summoning and dismissing her helmet without it being seen off her head. In Rhythm of War, we finally get to see this done on-screen. Shardplate is made up of lesser, non-sapient spren that manifest in the Physical Realm as armor. It's portrayed as the Knight always wearing their armor, it just being invisible and intangible until needed. Exaggerated when Kaladin materializes his Shardplate onto other people quickly enough to parry weapons mid-thrust.

Instant Armor / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Psionics allow you to pull armor (or a weapon) out of somewhere in existence. There are certain spells that provide a form of armor to the caster, such as golden dragonmail or silver dragonmail. The 3.5E supplement Magic Item Compendium has the called armor property, allowing you to not only remove the lengthy times for putting it on, but leave it anywhere on the same plane and still be called in an instant (unless another creature seizes and wears it). The Arms and Equipement Guide features an extra (non-magical) property for armors: quick-escape. It doesn't help the quick equipping of the armor, but instead its quick removal (in cases of emergency where an armor is a bad thing) thanks to a special lock on the shield-side hip, which release makes the whole armor fall away. Putting on a quick-escape armor, on the other hand, takes twice as long as normal (which makes it a primary candidate for the called magical property). Rilmani are creatures embodying the True Neutral alignment, and their leader caste, the aurumachs, have magical golden armor that appears around their bodies just in time to deflect a blow before vanishing again. The upside of this is that it lets aurumachs move about unencumbered by a suit of full plate while still enjoying its protection, the downside is that in an Anti-Magic field, they're effectively naked. The 4th Edition supplement Adventurer's Vault provides "summoned" armor, which can be of any type, is basically put on the hard way once, and then can be dismissed to and recalled from a "secure extradimensional location" at will, reappearing on the caller's person as though he or she had just put it on. It otherwise functions as plain old magical armor of its given type and bonus (minimum +2). In 5th Edition, the Armorer subclass (from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything) gives artificers the ability to don or doff their Arcane Armor as an action, rather than spending between one to ten minutes doing so.

Tetsutetsu needs to include a lot of iron in his diet to sustain it, but Kirishima doesn't have prerequisites. He later creates a Super Mode that just involves him making his body extra-hard. Inspired by Kirishima, acid-secreting Mina Ashido develops a version of her own, which covers her in a Blob Monster of acid.

Instant Armor / int_98157397	comment	Iron Man Films: In the second film, Tony Stark has a suitcase that turns into a suit of armor, as a nod to the comics. However, it's more of an Emergency Weapon, as it is significantly less powerful than the regular armor, and apparently only mounts the palm repulsors for weaponry. Still comes in very handy in a pinch. As part of Stark's continuing upgrades to his armor, this type shows up in The Avengers (2012) — except that not only can it be stored in a cupboard, it is fully capable of flying itself to him and assembling itself around him autonomously. How long does this take, you might ask? Less time than it takes to hit the ground falling off of Stark Tower (barely). A prequel comic to the second film shows Tony trying different ways of making the armor come to him. One involves a missile that flies to him and buries its nose in the ground. That fails spectacularly, as the impact destroys the armor. By the third film, individual armor components now fly to Tony thanks to implants in his arms. Not only that, but he has pre-programmed gestures that can get the armor to assemble on someone he points at. He does this during the Mandarin's attack on his mansion to put the armor on Pepper (unfortunately, he never told her how to use the repulsors) and later to force the Big Bad into one of his armors and blow it up.

Instant Armor / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The "Bound Armor" spell is available throughout most of the series and has this effect. It is a Conjuration spell which temporarily summons a set of Daedric armor for the caster. Flavor text various implies that the armor is either made out of pure Magicka or is summoned from Oblivion itself (much like summoning actual lesser Daedra). It can quickly de-squishify your Squishy Wizard. In Morrowind, it is possible to enchant items with "constant effect" Bound Armor spells. With a high value item (meaning it can hold more powerful enchantments) and a powerful Soul Gem, it is possible to enchant the item to summon a permanent full set of Bound Armor (equivalent to full Daedric) as soon as you equip it. And the armor never needs repairs either, as if it gets damaged, you can simply remove the item and reequip it for a new set. In Oblivion the Mythic Dawn cultists that are responsible for killing the Emperor are able to conjure their custom weapons and armor from thin air by way of magic. The equipment immediately fades upon their death. (A clever setup, since it allows for Mooks who provide a real challenge, while leaving nothing worth looting behind.) The player can learn similar spells (which work the same way but conjure a different type of armor), and with the spell customization system, even design a spell that summons a full set of plate armor, sword, and shield with the press of a single button. In Skyrim, the series of spells ending in '-flesh'note (Oakflesh, Stoneflesh, Ironflesh, and Ebonyflesh. Dragonhide has a virtually identical effect as well.) generate a hard layer around the player that lasts about sixty seconds and helps reduce damage. A perk in the Alteration tree makes them more effective if the player isn't already wearing armor.

Instant Armor / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Baroque Works' Mr. 3/Galdino ate the Wax-Wax Fruit which allows him to produce and manipulate a special kind of wax. One application of it is he can create a suit of wax armor for himself that's harder than steel but melts when exposed to fire. Wanze's Ra-Mens Formal Suit (a suit of armor made of ramen noodles) borders on parodying this trope. The prime example of this in the story is Busoshoku/Armament Haki. A user can coat their body as well as objects in what's described as an invisible layer of armor that can be used simultaneously to protect as well as attack (Haki being the only thing besides Seastone capable of harming a Devil Fruit user, especially Logias and the stranger Paramecia cases). It's revealed later on that there are advanced techniques associated with this power that allow the user to project their Haki and attack without physical contact, as well as completely bypass physical defense to attack the target from inside their body.

Instant Armor is Erza's specialty, being an Action Fashionista who has over 100 different types of outfits that she keeps stored in Hammerspace, from Powered Armor to normal clothing that she can instantly equip. Best exemplified during the "Phantom Lord" arc, where Erza's Shower of Angst is interrupted by an attack on the guild, and she rushes out in a Modesty Towel. When she catches sight of the villain responsible, she rushes into combat while flinging away the towel and instantly conjuring some combat armor into her body from nothing.

(When he undergoes the whole body conversion, his legs are actually thinner than when untransformed, and in the original Transformation Sequence we see his arm splitting into three segments.) just his arm, but later progressing to the right half of his torso, then full body armor. Ryuhou, Straight Cougar, and Martin Zigmarl — any Alloy-type Alter user does this to some extent, and it is implied by Ryuhou when he reaches his fullest level of power that all Alter powers must become Alloy-type to unlock their maximum potential. The implications of this type of armor are explored later on in this show. You notice how he's always wearing a glove and long sleeves? On the few instances when he's not, you can see lines across his hand and arm. As the armor grows across him on varying levels, those lines appear where he's transformed. Turns out it's not just stylistic, those are scars left from where his own body was torn apart by his Altar power and reconstructed into armor. It's to the point that, after unlocking his second level, his one eye only opens when manifesting the armor... It was heavily damaged right before the first manifestation, and now it appears to potentially be part of the manifestation.

It's worth noting that he technically already has, with the Project Galahad suit he designed for Harry. It helps that that it's sleeker and more stripped down, being designed for speed, agility, and endurance — Harry provides the firepower. It's already assembled and can be summoned from a pocket dimension. Carol's shield turns out to be an immensely powerful Morph Weapon that can transform into this. Since its main power is Energy Absorption, which it can then reuse and return "with interest", it can quite easily turn its wielder into a Flying Brick.

The only problem? The Borg have assimilated the technology (as well as One-Hit Kill torpedoes) and can now use it against everyone else.

Instant Armor / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: Producing this is the main function of Biometals in the Mega Man ZX series. Mega Man X does something similar from X4 onwards at the start of every stage. Starting with Mega Man X4, X's teleporting animation shows him wearing his normal armor by default upon warping in, then quickly dawning any enhanced armor pieces he obtained. The animation goes by quick and can be easy to miss. The trope also appears in X's appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, with his Super Mode showing him instantly dawning his Armor of Light, and his Level 3 Hyper Combo having him instantly equip the Ultimate Armor.

Instant Armor / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: Samus can put her armor on or off through a mental trigger. Word of God states that instead of willing it on or off, Samus must constantly concentrate just to maintain the armor. To take it off, she simply stops concentrating. Note this only started in Metroid: Other M. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Fusion show that the armor stays on her when unconscious. Metroid: Other M gets into a downright Deconstruction of the "constant concentration" type of armor. Like when Adam shoots her in the back so she doesn't fire at the ice-proof metroid and she slowly loses the suit out of physical shock and mental shock that her Father Figure would do such a thing.

Instant Armor / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the main trio wear pieces of armor on their shoulders at all times, and can summon full suits of armor by touching the armor pieces. in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Ventus's armor protects Sora from the darkness when Sora's heart falls asleep. Unfortunately, the armor itself is corrupted (although Sora is fine). Two worlds in the series, Space Paranoids and The Grid, will automatically force the protagonists to wear armor upon entering. Justified, as they are both computer worlds based on the same franchise, and they are both Fisher Kingdoms in the films, as well.

Instant Armor / int_f95c488f	comment	Three Arrowverse superheroes (the Flash, Supergirl, and Black Lightning) now have nanotech suits that form around them in seconds, all from different sources. Barry's was made by Cisco and allows him to "dissolve" his cowl by tapping on the lightning bolt symbol on his ear. Kara's suit (now with pants) appears whenever she removes her glasses in a certain way and was developed by Brainy. Jefferson's suit is stored in a watch given to him by the ASA and is activated by hitting the watch with 5 Volts.

Instant Armor / int_fa5e90fd	comment	Similar to the Granite Form in City of Heroes, Dragon Age II has the spell "Rock Armor" that covers the mage casting it in stone and make it easier to survive in close combat or against archers. There's even a potion that non-mages can use to simulate the spell, and since it has no requirements combined with a low stamina cost it's recommended that every mage take it. And it actually looks pretty cool to boot.
