History
The Entropy Aegis was the burnt out shell of an Imperiex Probe that had been taken by Darkseid and retrofitted with technology from Apokolips. It was designed to be used as a weapon against Imperiex by turning the cosmic destroyer's own power against him. Darkseid had intended for Superman to be the wearer of the armour and had him teleported against his will to Apokolips following a battle where the Kryptonian was nearly killed by Imperiex. In a daze, Parademons and Kalibak were tasked with quickly placing him in the armour before he regained consciousness but they were too late to accomplish the task. Darkseid himself battled the Man of Steel but revealed that they were not enemies but allies against a common foe. However, Superman refused and departed Apokolips in order to confront Imperiex without the Entropy Aegis. (Superman: Man of Steel v1 #116)
Irons arrived at the scene wearing the armour where he helped fight off B-13 technology and participated in the onslaught against Brainiac 13. (Superman: Man of Steel v1 #117)
