This site has some great mug shots of Nimrod mugging The Unstoppable Juggernaut (who Nimrod stopped). 🙂
Nimrod has technology far beyond Stark's wildest inventions. The only suit that could one-on-one take Nimrod was War Machine's Eidolon Warsuit.
However, Nimrod has shown a surprising ability to waste everything he's got, while Tony has shown no such ability. Further, Tony can choose a ton of suits to keep Nimrod guessing. If Tony can survive, he wins. If it's restricted to a knock-down drag-out fight, 90/10 Nimrod's favor.
None of you people have obviously seriously read IM comix.
I am a die hard and can argue everything concerning him.
I can tell you from an IM paperback volume which gives all info concerning Stark and his co, that Stark has inventions and patents that he hasn't even put out on the market because half of the time either he doesn't have the time or the nature of these inventions are harmful and he doesn't want to contract with any firm that might use his tech for wrongdoing. The man has dozens of stuff still either on the blueprint or prototype stage.So to say that or imply that we know exactly of Starks full genius or capabilities would be false. We simply don't know the extent of his mind.
Right, but see, LordFear, even the most innovative people in an industry can't beat out 50-100 years of advancement. Particularly since Nimrod was ALSO built by super-scientists. So, yes, I gave Iron Man the benefit of the doubt precisely because he has such genius and such an armada of weaponry, but Nimrod is simply going to be a better machine. It'll be man v. machine that settles it.
We know this because Frank Rhodes commented endlessly on how much better the Eidolon was than anything he'd seen Tony try, ever.
