They attempted to hold the Wrath. Failed though.
But for the fight, Tony in the Extremis has reaction time in divisions of a second. Not bad for Stark.
He possibly can match WW, on an average showing, but when taking her high end showings into consideration, she really is a league above, just going by averages.
She has an editorial staff shielding, and backing her. Tony doesn't.
She will always have an ongoing, due to her trinity status. Tony doesn't have that security.
She is akin to old English money and the power it brings, while Tony has to earn his way.
He will never stack up. Never.
Be content with him beating the Kalibaks and the Red Tornadoes of the comic book world.
He just doesn't have the icon status she does. To suggest he will ever approach the big leagues, is to be squarely in denial.
