Variants[]
The versions of the MJOLNIR Armor in the Halo universe is completely separate from the Marathon series. There are currently six iterations of the MJOLNIR armor depicted in the Halo games and the novels.
Mark I[]
The MJOLNIR Mark I was originally an exoskeleton powered by a large generator created by the USNC. The Mark I battle armors improved the strength and stamina of the user's muscles. The armor was also impervious to light weapons. The suit use a hydraulic system and had an immense power consumption, requiring either a connection to a stationary power generator or access to microwave power generators, which hampered movement and rendered it impractical. Due to its inefficiency, it was never seen in battle. However, it was used to carry heavy equipment in docking bays, and dozens of others were dumped in Reach's titanium mines. The original armor's HUD could generate an accurate targeting reticle and also had an armor status display. Its outer layer was composed of titanium and other strong metals which would provide protection for the wearer inside. The Mark I concept was scraped and redesigned by Dr. Halsey's team for use as battle armor
