+==Overview==
-Developed as a part of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Project: MJOLNIR]], the '''MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black''' variant is a standalone "skunkworks" prototype of the MJOLNIR [[Powered exoskeleton|Powered Assault Armor]] created by a top secret parallel development lab in [[Seongnam]], [[United Korea]].
+MJOLNIR: Black is superficially identical to the [[Mark VI]] variant. However, it features several unique internal design elements. The [[heads-up display]] has a field of view of nearly five kilometers, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance.{{Ref/Reuse|black195}} Black Team's armor (the only known examples of the model) was colored black rather than the standard olive green, increasing the user's ability to hide in shadows. One arm hosts a device nicknamed the "[[Interrogator]]", featuring a built-in microphone, processor, and speaker for translation of [[Covenant]] languages to [[English]] and from English to Covenant speech.{{Ref/Reuse|black195}} The armor is capable of carrying a [[smart AI]]. Black is the third known Mjolnir variant to feature recharging [[energy shielding]] as standard, following the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V[B]]] and [[Mark V]] armors.
+Being a prototype, Mjolnir: Black features some flaws. It has trouble displaying exact altitude, making three-dimensional tracking difficult. The biofoam injectors are known to mistakenly set broken bones incorrectly.{{Ref/Reuse|black195}}
-==Overview==
+==Production note==
-While it is visually similar to the standard [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI MJOLNIR armor]], it includes features that neither the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] or VI have. The [[Heads Up Display|HUD]] has a field of view of nearly five thousand meters, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance. The armor is colored jet black rather than the standard olive green, increasing the user's ability to hide in shadows. One arm includes a device nicknamed the "[[Interrogator]]", featuring a built-in microphone, processor, and speaker for translation of [[Covenant languages]] to [[English]] and from English to Covenant speech, intended for use in interrogation. The armor is capable of carrying a [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seventh]]-generation [["Smart" AI]], [[Iona]]. Like the Marks V and VI, MJOLNIR: Black features recharging [[energy shielding]].
+Mjolnir: Black's faceplate is said to be reflective gray in "[[Blunt Instruments]]",{{Ref/Reuse|black195}} but in ''[[Halo: Blood Line]]'' is shown as gold, even during a flashback to the [[Raid on Verge|events of the short story]]. The faceplate is also shown as gold in ''[[Halo: Escalation]]''.
-Being a prototype, it features some flaws: it has trouble displaying exact altitude, making three-dimensional tracking difficult, and the biofoam injectors were known to mistakenly set broken bones into the wrong shape to heal.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''' - ''[[Blunt Instruments]]''</ref> The armor was used by Team Black during the Battle of [[Verge]] and during their actions on [[Line Installation 1-4]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Blood Line]]'''</ref>
