You might need to clarify this a little
Is it like, on a battle field where the combined might of Earth's military is pitted against him, or is it that Tony is trying to take over the world?
Given how often comic characters survive nukes or whatever, in the first option I can (as stupid as it sounds) see Tony winning.
If the generals on Earth are given a chance to coordinate attacks and all that type of stuff, he is toast. besides, it would certainly take him longer than a day or whatever to do this, and even though his suit may have unlimited energy, he doesn't. He is killed in his sleep or while he eats.

Yes, it is.
I see 😮 (I guess there are problems in posting on the comic boards without reading many comics).
Well then our planets military is dead without much effort on IM's part. Like batdude said he'd just take over our tech and kill us with it. At the same time he could screw with communications and make any sort of tactical manuvering almost impossible.

I'm thinking more long term than that
Iron Man has a huge technological / firepower advantage
However, Asymmetrical wars are not necessarily impossible. I hardly think its likely that Iron Man would a) kill every man/woman/child capable or willing to fight him or b) break the morale of the people on Earth to continue fighting him.
I guess we need to define what constitutes a clear victory for IM, because if humans need to go back to pigeons carrying messages, we would.

No version of IM can stand up to even a low yield Nuclear Warhead without complete PIS. Our military wins.
But extremis would stop any nuke from firing. In fact he could probably make them detonate inside the bunkers or fire at major cities.

total destruction of major metrolpolitain areas was my assumption. But given enough time he could extingusish you humans.

In that case I'd give him at least 8/10, that might show my real world bias though

I would certainly disagree with that. It's an impossible claim to argue, since the combined might of the world's military has never been tested like that, but I think we could take him in an Asymmetrical conflict.
