She used her armor during the Battle of Earth, where it was finally disintegrated along with her by Iron Man's Snap.
====Working for the Collector====

She also used it to communicate with the rest of the Black Order and the Sakaarans.What If...? Season 1 Episode 2: What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?
==Design and Capabilities==
The armor fits perfectly to Proxima Midnight's entire body, and its colors vary between dark and light gray, although its alternate version shown in T'Challa Became a Star-Lord universe it's more between black and white, with some purple parts in the legs, and the metallic parts golden. The armor also shares the same color range of her spear and sword, suggesting that could be made by the same manufacturer.
It has some metallic parts, being the most notable and robust the one that covers Midnight's left arm, from shoulder to wrist, fully protecting so her unarmed arm. Serving as a tactical gauntlet, the left forearm part of the armor includes some technological functions, which helps Midnight in her missions, like:
*Communicator: A small device that allows Midnight to communicate with the rest of the Black Order.
*Q-Ship Control: A button located above the hand that allows Midnight to call a waiting Q-Ship to extract her wherever she is, even if she is inside a building.
*Retractable Blade: A blade housed in the forearm can be deployed from the wrist to use in battle. Midnight used it against Black Widow, after she disarmed her from her sword.
This light armor gives Proxima Midnight a balance between agility and protection; with lighter armor on her torso for flexibility and heavy armor on her arms for close combat. It is enough resistant to withstand the energy blasts from Scarlet Witch, non-lethal attacks with Corvus Glaive's Glaive, and Black Widow's electrified batons. Its limit seems to be the firearms, as Midnight seemed cornered when Falcon aimed her with his machine guns. Its alternate version shown in T'Challa Became a Star-Lord universe also can resist shots from Nebula's gun, briefly knocking out Midnight the second time Nebula shot her in the chest.
