I just feel I should point out what that means, in terms of real numbers. IMO, people toss around ideas like "can withstand a nuclear bomb" or "fly at lightspeed" like it's no big deal. One can be extremely formidable--and far more realistic AND consistent--w/o going to either length. But hey, it's comics and "coolness" trumps realism 100/100 times.
I hear that bro!!!
I mean I have seen IM clearly being outmatched but the nifty little thing with that power grid stuff is that he serves as a battery and when its full, any excess power still emanating get's converted into pure heat or another form of matter. Problem is that in the past, IM'S armor would overload and circuits would fry. So when he upraged with a new armor with those two pipes coming out from his back(which I think up to now looked the freshest) he can allow his circuits to "breath" and his lifesupport system not crashing. This adds nothing to the argument but just thought it to be a cool sidenote
