Dr. Doom vs. Iron Man

The only inaffective Iron-Man armour I remember is indeed the Hulkbuster one. If it's the one from the ultimates that Hulk tears the helmet off of.

Well, I don't think therre is any armor that's gunna stand up to the Hulk. Stark had balls just to challenge him in the first place.

I agree. It's cool though, you look through all those armours and you see his Hulk one. Hahaha, some spaceship.

If you mean prep time as in devising a plan to beat someone the CALIBRE of Iron-Man, then putting it to work. There for having some kind of pre-devised plan, I agree. But that is all I mean when I say he is read for anything.

WHAT? so when the rest of us say prep time is one thing, but when never says prep time is another, a little unfair i guess. I have used the prep time argument in magneto vs doom fight, the same way you guys are using it here.

Read what I wrote.

"The reason I'm so against prep time is people tend to..."

TEND to. I wasn't saying you all do. The context in which you used prep time led me to believe you meant if Doom arranged to fight then went and planned. Not in the sense of planning it alone and then going to do so. A spontaneous planned fight if you will.

ok, no prob.

And Vic, Onslaught's armor was susceptible to Hulk's fist. What is your point? Doom is NOT Hulk.

My point is...what I wrote. It was an aside.

Dr.Doom seems to be the popular opinion here.

Unless he has a suit to match Iron Man's, I'd say Doom Loses. If you really think about Stark pretty much corners the market on the battle suit thing. Even though Doom is fully capable of conjuring an equivalent. So at the very least if Stark doesnt win its a draw.

and dont even try to say that doom can out smart him either, cuz he's a freaking geniius

personally, i think this whole prep time thing is grossly overrated. if you take a serious look at all the major battles Doom has fought over the years, there really wasnt an agreement between him and his opponents, no"meet after school at 3:00 factor". Granted they havent necessarily been spur of the moment, but he never really has excessive amount of time to plan something.

Man I grow weray of this prep time everyone 's going so crazy over!

Since when did it become suit vs. suit though. NOt even mentioning the fact that Iron Man fights people without suits and loses.

Well, both of the characters are famous for their suits/armors, so it's a bit logical people compare the armors and the weapons they possess.

But you have to search very hard to find a better armor than that of Iron Man. But Doom still might win. In my opinion, they are too equal.

besides all the people w/out suits IM ever lost to was superpowered(to my knowledge that is) admittedly im no IM oficiando, but Ive read enuff to know this.

Doom isn't dependant on a suit though, that's my point. Doom isn't Doom because of what his suit can do.

Iron Mans suit isn't really made of iron is it?

I hope not.

I'm sure the relevance of that comment will make itself known in time.

The original was. Check the site i posted earlier, the very first one was Iron, and then the Golden one came along, and then Stark decided it would be cool to own 50 different armors or whatever.

I think originally Iron-Man was called Iron-Man (or at least Stan mentioned he thought it was a cool term) because "Iron" made the character seem strong. Iron willed and iron determination and etc.

If he kept his iron armour he'd have ended up getting whooped by someone like Hydro-Man.

That's one point I raised earlier. Iron-Man needs his suit to be like its own army because he needs the suit. Doom is still the supreme intellect with or without it.

-AC

Stark's intellect is still supreme w/out his armor its just that without it he's not iron Man. and w/ou his armor Doom is Still Doom. since Doom doesnt go around in a super powered armor 24/7 even if he gets one to match I am sure it wouldnt have any capability that IM's doesnt.

Secondly, a fight between the two would have to be one of armors becuase Stark isnt going to run up on Doom armorless, and doom isnt going run up on Iron Man with only his 2-ton lifting armor. unless Doom casts a spell and send IM to hell or something I cant think of what he could do to win. he wouldnt be able to see his eyes to switch bodies and if he fires projectiles from his suit whether its the suit or his magic IM would definatley be able to dodge deflect or absorb them.

oh yeah thats another thing IM can do his suit can absorb all sorts of energy to power up

i dont think ur making a fair assesment of Doom if u think Stark can match wits...he's not even close....not at all...Stark is smart and his suits r pretty sweet...they r good for fighting villains and rescuing people...doom's suits r purely deadly...and its very good defensively...he uses a force field usually rather than allow his suit to take on damage like iron man's...iron man uses repulsor rays...doom uses particle beams and disintegrators capable of vaporizing Thor with one shot...and sometimes he is harnessing the power cosmic, stolen from the surfer, or stolen from a watcher....Iron Man is wa out of his league....i dont think he would stand a chance against Doom's brain or his suits
