No argument over the most advanced weapon, but how many nukes at once do you think he can handle?
Thanks to the Cold War, we've got a pretty good system in place to launch a crapload of nukes very quickly and accurately. Add to that the fact that we've got nukes all over the world, and there's no way Tony is taking them all out before some launch. To boot, nukes release a nasty EMP when they blow...
I think we can take him out, but there's no doubt the world would be trashed in the aftermath.

If the world decides we need to spam nuke Iron Man in order to "win", it's not much of a victory considering the collateral damage, and that's if we manage to hit him. Between his mobility (which should crap on real world nukes based on feats) his ability to disable weapons, and defenses, I don't think a massive nuclear offense is what it would be cracked out to be. We'd have to be able to find Iron Man, somehow track him, and manage to hit him, and I don't think our technology is up to par to do that against some of his older armor, let alone Extremis/Bleeding Edge.

well, we would have to time a nuke attack with great coordination
doesn't tony have to recharge his armor? that would be the best time to launch an attack since we should know where he is....he can't recharge in a forest

The nukes would never hit him and if 1 did manage to hit him it wouldn't do anything his shields would protect him.

I don't think we'd be able to do it, tbh.
Periodically, yes, but how do you propose we'd find him?

Pretty sure he doesn't have to recharge anymore his new suit is supposed to have a limitless power source.

his shields would be taken out by a nuke...this ain't a comic nuke where the blast radius is smaller than a house. this is a real world nuke...IM will be decimated.

He has survived a nuke w/o shields, and as i said they would never hit him anyway.

He wouldn't.

You do realize the blast radius of a nuke, right?

Why are people acting like he has to be hit by a nuke dead on? Nukes have a blast radius of miles and miles.
He anit dodging that many.

Not quite what i meant what i mean is he would intercept them in the air or hack them but i do believe he could out run them as well.

Of course and easily.
I don't believe Tony's main armor was shown to be resistant to armored piercing bullets have he?
