1. Iron man is actually quick enough to get Captain America in a death grip and strong enough to hold it.
Being bullet proof doesn't mean much to Iron Man. Here is the man of iron dropping Luke Cage faster then Cage's dad dropped Luke's brother.
Iron man was able to shield himself completely from a triple attack from Doctor Doom, Scarlet Witch and Red Skull. Red Skull at the time had stolen Charles Xavier's telepathy.
He can even stop Charles telepathy when it's coming from the man himself.
The God smashing Hulk? Who needs him? Iron man can easily drop the horribly powerful villain The Abomination. While dear old Bruce Banner watches helplessly in the background.
Gonna try and bend his metal? Not a chance. Iron man is very much immune to Magneto's metal bending. Even if he is drawing power from several planet's magnetic fields at once.
That's right. Iron man can't even be detected by Spider-Man's legendary spider sense. Poor Peter never saw that one coming.
But it's all the suit right? Wrong. Tony Stark can easily hold his own in hand to hand even against the likes of Daredevil. Although he sees a world on fire, Daredevil never saw that ass whooping coming.
And this has been some quick facts about Iron Man. Want more? Upvote and if this brings about interest, I'll happily make more Posts about our comic heroes and their amazing feats.
Edit: As per request. The one and only Captain America

Some of these are out of context, but for the most part, yeah, iron man's pretty badass.
Thecatsjudgingmeagain
You forgot his most important powers. Being rich and an asshole...
yourearnotyourrear
For as many times as he's shown himself to be superior, there's an equal number of instances where these same heroes hand him his hat too.
grimfandango
If you sum up all of the most impressive stuff the marvel characters have ever done, they all seem OP as fuck.

All that didn't spare him a sound thrashing from Thor: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/15/150339/3822749-2409144507-34263.jpg

Many times.
CamelSpotter
That's all well and cool. But I'm much more interested in how Doctor Doom is going to handle the Iron Man mantle.
barbwirelove
considering in his own right Dr. Doom is a good guy (he just goes about it in the worst way) i think he'll do fine
LetumComplexo
This isn't an actual list of his powers, it's a list of deus ex machinas the writers employed to get him out of unwindable situations.
SithRuleOfTwo
No metal armor? Ok. http://www.craveonline.com/images/stories/2011/2012/March/Comics/marvel/avengersvsxmen/VS/AvXVS_1_Preview2.jpg

Mad respect.
Mostlydeadpool
he's still working on that. it's a complex problem with many variables. with vision/jarvis on his side tho, he'll find out soon enough..
SupaCabra
if the vision cant see it, it is hopeless
KingKrown
Context is important!
Sydonai
(1/2) Stark made Spider-Man armor to specifically gather the biometric data to mask his own signature in case he would turn against him.
Sydonai
(2/2) After that specific panel, unarmored Spider-Man ripped Iron Man armor to shreds from around Stark, because he's faster and stronger.
moTDubleu
Peter does bypass Tony's override on the Iron Spider suit during the Civil War arc. In this fight however he gets his butt handed to him.
transientarchitect
do you have a screenshot?
Sydonai
I do not. Anyway, it's part of the Civil War meta arc.
Sydonai
(cant bother to torrent comic books nowdays)
dogedude
Tony's been getting some power creep for sure. Remember: Hulk, Celestials, the Pheonix Force and Franklin Richards could liquefy Tony easy.
HavocCurse
I don't want to remember Franklin Richards.
mjso23
Who's he
ProfessionalThirstDetector
Wasn't he using the symbiote suit and extremis in #8? I love Tony, but no way he can take DD unpowered.
newsguycraigevans
He can if the writers decide he can.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
Yep, he's always in tech even if not in a suit. No matter how smart he is Tony Stark is still just a man.
ZeroZeta
PostNutDepression
A man that compensates for his physical weakness with fucking laser blasters and crazy robotics at all times. Being smart is a superpower.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
True, but he is physically weak. The point is he can't take on Daredevil without a suit or tech, in that panel's case Extremis and Symbiote.
PostNutDepression
I don't really see how that's an issue considering the fact that at this point iron man is literally always carrying something.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
The point is it isn't Tony Stark beating Daredevil with just muscle alone, it's some device. It's the device that's strong not his body.

Comics book facts: Writers make up whatever sounds cool at the time, and the continuity becomes increasingly stupid.
ANNADESTROYEROFWORLDS
Yeah a lot of these things aren't really canon anymore since the reboot
zackofspades
I mean, they're folk lore. People have been putting their own spin on folk tales for centuries. Comes with the territory.
manimatr0n
These are corporate entities sold as luxury goods, nowhere near folklore in terms of relevance or staying power.
zackofspades
You say that as though fairytales never got monetized by the Mouse. Get real fam, superhero stories will outlive you.
manimatr0n
For the people to whom folklore is relevant, they don't tell each other or their kids the Disney versions, "fam".
zackofspades
I'm not your fam, brosef. Folklore is relevant to every human on this planet, whether you like it or not. The tales or the people, homie.
zackofspades
You can be damn sure my kids are getting the tales straight from Mr. Walt's creations. It will be their folk tales, as it is mine.

Magento's powers also wobble getting redefined a lot. Not to mention that his ferromagnetic explanation is garbage.
Flyndaran
Magneto's. Magento sounds like a very colorful villain though. ;)
mjso23
Given the colour of his suit it kinda works!
MyDogJake
Magneto is an Omega level mutant. He disassembled Apocalypse at a molecular level. Pretty sure he could beat up Iron Man.
transientarchitect
One EMP and Ironman is done
WildBluntHickok
Tearing someone in half isn't the same as disassembling them at a molecular level.
MyDogJake
You are correct. I was misinformed. That said Ironman still wouldn't stand a chance.
TisNagim
but he's also been depowered and repowered enough times that who know's whats actually in his tank
transientarchitect
Yeah I don't see how ironman could win against against a god of magnetism
knifeface
"Master of Magnetism"
Flyndaran
God of metal, the magnetism bit is nonsense and has nothing to do with his abilities at all.
TheMagicGoat
Ironman's armour isn't actually made of iron any more, it's made of plot and as such is immune to magnetism.
Mostlydeadpool
and its not like magento hasn't used metal in the local area as a weapon before..
CrapBaskets
Best explanation ever
MyDogJake
+1 for made of plot
transientarchitect
I guess if it was made from aluminum that would work. At least until he got hit really hard.
Rheios
Magneto's powers have historically included being able to warp a planet (or the example comic multiple planets) magnetic fields to act as(1)
Rheios
barrier, method of levitation, and if he really tore himself to the limit probably act as a means of actual grappling or concussive force.(2

Was gonna say, in Aquaman comics Aquaman is basically God, in Green Lantern comics he owns anyone in the universe, and so on.

Hal just got his ass kicked a while back and Aquaman just recently got threatened by Superman so that's not entirely true.
BrownKing11
Magneto would stomp Iron Man. There is no way IM can break through Magneto's shields either.
canadiansteakbacon
Tony prepped, brought a suit made of carbon nanotubes, no metal, still almost got his ass kicked, Magneto kinda gave up

He should've beat him in that fight too, but he basically decides the fight isn't worth it in the end and lets Tony win IIRC. It was a (1)

Spiderman's Leopardon can make short work of Ironman any day any time. I also doubt he could take on the cops who arrested Thanos.

To be fair, those characters were in the vast majority pretty much used in a handful of events, and usually just for exposition or some /1

Don't they explain some of it with magic metal alloys that are super good at absorbing shock?

If the suit is accelerated at a hundred Gs (say, punched by Hulk), the guy inside has to accelerate just as fast. Humans can't survive that
Flyndaran
It's not deformation that's the problem. It's basic unstoppable inertia. But he has "repulsor" and artificial gravity tech...
IAmDrBanner
I like the fact that people still try to apply real world elements to comics. It is a world with magic, alien tech and special minerals /1

idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
That Hulk fact is silly. Completely ignores World War Hulk. Iron Man at his best is still no match for a truly pissed off Hulk.
KingKrown
World War Hulk in itself was PIS. All of the greatest minds couldn't banish hulk to another dimension. Strange could have done it and didn't
Cyberwere
Yeah, that was more than a little ridiculous. Strange himself said that he could snuff the Hulk's life like a candle. And he's right
joeyjojosharknado
But Strange doesn't do that - or he could have done it to any supervillain or to insta-solve most of the universes threatening events.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Well, even I'll point out Strange eventually allowed a demon to possess him to beat the hulk. Doesn't seem like he was holding back.
Yourmuffinfuckingsucks
Strange didn't want to. Hulk got lucky and hit him while he was distracted too. Sentry was the only one close to PIS, but Sentry doesn't 1/2
Yourmuffinfuckingsucks
exactly go all out because he's batshit insane. 2/2
KingKrown
The Comic ignored our created silly reasons the intelligent characters didn't use their brains. Which why I say it was full of PIS.
KingKrown
Hulk was causing global catastrophe and no one smart wanted banish him using magic and/or science? Come oh now.
Yourmuffinfuckingsucks
Reed tried to use his. Strange tried to reason and then tried to beat him because banishing never works. Strange got distracted by innocents
JSteede
Of all the facts, that last one really bugs me. Without his suit he should be smart, but physically unimposing. Daredevil should easily (1)
Gyrofalco
He was with a suit,just partially activated, it was an extremis suit than kind of worked like a symbiote
MrWolfwood
Negative. This was a tony stark who has the armor in his bones/blood and can call it at any point. He's still part Extremis as well
lordnook
It's mostly about who writes the characters at times man.
playinglifeonhardmode
Extremis bro. He did have a tech advantage! Iron man is by far my favourite.
JSteede
Don't get me wrong, I do love the character; I just feel he works best when he has weaknesses and has to be clever about how he fights.
wintercoat
Hey guise! Did you know that in this scene, Tony has a nanotech cloud augmenting his abilities? I bet noone else will comment this!
irishmn
Superior Iron Man. The suit is a symbiote mix, so he's pumping Iron Man power there.
itsAone
there's critical information missing from the last one.
override367
Like all comic book characters, some authors go total fanboy on their hero and remove all of their weaknesses/flaws
override367
so in some of these Iron Man has become the boring as fuck Plot Man that all heroes turn into from time to time

SomePeopleSayThatCucumbersTasteBetterPickled
The suit was in him. He was augmented with a nano-cloud / symbiote-tech suit.
JSteede
As is the venom symbiote? Or just a symbiotic suit in the scientific sense?
SomePeopleSayThatCucumbersTasteBetterPickled
the venom symbiote
Dusk17
He copied the Venom Symbiote's biology and combined it with his tech to create the Mark 50 Endo-Sym armor, aka: The Superior Iron Man.

See, that's both awesome and horrifically over powered for him!

HEXADECIMAL
Yeah, ppl dont remember that he basically became immortal, of course he didn't share any of this life saving technology. Of course.
playinglifeonhardmode
His mind was altered. It never reverted back.
canadiansteakbacon
It has since
playinglifeonhardmode
You sure? Wasn't this like an alternative universe?
pmatdacat
His thing is that everything he makes us too dangerous to trust someone else with.
HEXADECIMAL
Actually 20 years after he dies his company starts selling Iron Man suits for Construction, Space Exploration, Deep Sea diving, ect.
pmatdacat
After he died though. That's probably against his wishes.
HEXADECIMAL
He could easily create low-level versions of his suits for businesses, police, even hospitals, but he CHOOSES to be a super-hero instead.
pmatdacat
He would have to give people arc reactor technology. Which would be extremely dangerous if it got into the wrong hands.
IAmDrBanner
You are right. @OP forgot to mention that in that particular scene, Tony Stark was under the effect of Extremis and using symbiote suit.
IAmDrBanner
He was basically super doped and was enhanced by nano-tech too.
JSteede
So I'm hearing, but thanks for the input :)
IAmDrBanner
Also, it isn't permanent, so it doesn't make the character OP. It had its downsides and made him the villain for that arc.
JSteede
I'd argue he was still OP for the arc, but I can see how that was kind of the point.
IAmDrBanner
Oh, yeah. For the arc. But the main baddie always has to be strong enough to justify a bunch of heroes ganging up on him =p
rushingnothing
Yeah. Most if not all are only relative to the situation. He's not that powerful. It's always his tech aiding him in a major way not Tony.
Richpur
He isn't quite lacking the suit in that last one, it's from a series where he's gone full god complex and is surrounded by a nanotech cloud.
HeathBarYUMYUM
I have that one and he is super enhanced and has gone rogue and that's why dd is fightin him, so he isn't human in that

ImNotAlwaysAnAsshole
Plot armor :P
IWrestledABearAndWon
Well... being symbiote based gives it a specific weakness to sound waves; as shown in the comic.
philondez
Spoilers: He faked its weakness to sound waves to gain access to Pepper's offline servers. It also doesn't have the symbiote fire weakness.
RainbowGandalf
Which would be useless for daredevil who I'm assuming is just as susceptible to sound magic
TheStealthHippopotamus
The glowing eyes made me think that wasn't "stock" Tony
bobislost
it wasn't, he basically losses his standard moral ethics in superior iron man and builds himself a symbiote armour among other things
JSteede
beat him. With all these talents, he's at risk at become like Batman i.e. can beat everyone because the writers say so, and thus boring.
PicklesAreDope
the writers say fucking everything, stupid ass point there. also hes smart enough to know he should do at least a couple push ups lol
ArcaneConjecture
He can't beat Jack Daniels.
Mavgurian
What are Daredevils powers though? I thought he just had ultrasoundish vision and was good at hand to hand combat?
JSteede
That's essentially it, but that should beat an alcoholic without an armored suit. Though it seems he did have on a suit of sorts in this.
JohnnyTitelips
Batman *can* beat everyone, but isn't necessarily *likely* to.

He is batman. Right down to the dead parents. He just drinks instead of brooding.

lungbudda
Nah fam iron man needs more power so he van brat superman
realTane
He is like fused with the suit if I recall. He's been fused with his suits since like 2006. Ultimate Iron Man is more reasonable.

Well that's extra nit-picky, but that's what I was thinking of. lol
ProfessionalThirstDetector
He was still jacked up with extremis and the internal suit when he fought DD
JSteede
Fair enough, that makes it better I guess. But it does still make him a little OP in my opinion.
MeatSackOfWater
Iron man beat your liked hero, everyone's been beat once at some point and vice versa. Besides daredevil is blind and perhaps not mutant.

It was during the superior iron man arc. He was evil, and making him OP was part of his evil arc. He's back to normal now.
