Before any generation of MJOLNIR made it into formal production, a full decade was spent in the research and development phase of the program.

However, the 2022 edition of the Encyclopedia revises this claim, stating that the "at least forty" manufactured suits were of the Mark I, II and III platforms overall (not Mark I specifically), and establishes that they were only ever testbeds for experimentation, never production-ready suits of armour.
