'''MJOLNIR: Black''' is variant a standalone "skunkworks" prototype of the [[Powered exoskeleton|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], likely part of MJOLNIR's Advanced Hardware Program.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 88''</ref> It was designed by a top-secret parallel development lab in [[Seongnam]], [[United Korea]].<ref name="black195">'''Halo: Evolutions''' - ''Blunt Instruments'', ''page 195''</ref> [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Black Team]] wore the armor from no later than [[2552#August|August 2552]] until their deaths in [[2557#July|July 2557]].<ref>''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 8]]''</ref>

==Overview==
Black uses the same armor components as the [[MJOLNIR Mark VI]] and is thus outwardly similar. However, it features several unique internal design elements. The [[Heads Up Display|HUD]] has a field of view of nearly five kilometers, allowing extreme-range reconnaissance.<ref name="black195"/> 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.<ref name="black197">'''Halo: Evolutions''' - ''Blunt Instruments'', ''page 197''</ref> The armor is capable of carrying a seventh-generation [[smart AI]]. Black (like the contemporary [[Mark V]] and later models) features recharging [[energy shielding]]. 

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''' - ''Blunt Instruments'', ''page ??''</ref>

==Trivia==
The armor's visor is said to be reflective gray in ''[[Blunt Instruments]]'',<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', ''Blunt Instruments'', page 200</ref> but in ''[[Halo: Blood Line]]'' it is gold like the default MJOLNIR visor.

 ==Overview==
-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.
