Humanity shall triumph!
wouldn't he be able to crash them into the ground before they even got near to him?

We win.Heres how.
All we need is a boat , 21 men and 3 non remote controlled nukes (IE : Hand operated)
We utilise the boat to meet IM at a designated 'parley' spot (or his palace , because every dictator has a palace)
1 of the twenty men is the designated suicide bomber, I like to call him Subterfuge (Code-names are awesome ! ) . He takes a reasonably old hummer (Old enough that it has no satellite or remote controlled tech) and drives clean at IM.
Just as he get's close enough Agent Subterfuge blows his payload.
Now some may say that this is a useless tactic simply because IM can blow the Hummer up with his repulsor/uni beam. Thus rendering the Nukes useless.
I for one don't think he will. If he [b]somehow
knows that the bombs are their he'll try to take out the car and/or weapons first (I doubt he'll want to try and take a nuclear blast head on)Nonetheless , I'm not interested in the actual blast. For all we know IM may actually be able to take the Nuke and stay standing.
It's the after affects I'm looking for. Namely the Electro magnetic Pulse.
Tony is now screwed , those twenty remaining men come in (with their radiation suits) and they beat that son of a b*tch to death. [/B]

the second he blows them up, their nuke is triggered, so he'd suffer damage. And there are going to be thousands of warplanes from all nations across the world coming at him all at once, he ain't shooting them all down.
It's going to be thousands of nuclear explosions in the air, creating a temporary nuclear Sun that would prob wipe away a huge portion of earth's populace, but i think Iron Man would be killed as well, and it may be a price worth paying.

That's why theirs a parley , or to be more exact how would he see them if their covered in a tarp of some kind . Tech has it's limits , they could easily cover their nukes in something which disrupts/masks energy.

you're assuming all nukes could just be 'shut off'. a lot of older nukes we have in our stockpiles don't have these safeguards and will explode if combusted.

Originally posted by grey foxno way he would at least see the plains he can directly see from satellites he would see the freaking plains the fly at Mach 3 into outer space.

Oh really?
I find the choice of Iron Man interesting because I have a character I've been writing short stories about, and I would describe her power as around Iron Man level: enough to be impressive, but not so much that there's no challenge for her. Still, I had to give her a major Achilles heel to level the playing field more.
Basically, once you concentrate a lot of firepower into a small, fast, alert opponent, the military is gonna have a very hard time delivering a deathblow.
