What do you call the thing that "holds" the iron man armors? I say "hold", because it doesn't seem to be a container, but more like a sort of stand. Not sure if there's a name for it, because it's not a stand.
Answer
Officially, the room where Tony Stark keeps all his Iron man suits is called the "Hall of Armor". Historically a room where weapons and armor are stored could be called an "armory".
It's difficult to say what Tony Stark calls the individual structures holding his suits, because their function is not clear. They are not required for support, since the suits can stand on their own, and isn't used for recharging because the suits are self-powered.
That being said: One possibility is to call them a "dock", or a "docking station", much the same as some devices that you can use to recharge a cell phone.
On the other hand, because they serve no real function, it's not entirely wrong to call it a "display cabinet", much like a fan would use to show off a collection of Iron Man action figures:
Individual spaces in a display cabinet may be called "slots", "spaces", "openings", "niches", or various other similar terms.
(Edit) I agree that these can be individually called "stands", or collectively a "rack" of similar objects all hung together. On that note: For whatever reason, a building where aircraft are kept is called a "hangar", which also makes sense for Iron Man's suits.
