Both fights? Iron man.
Classic was faster, stronger, and had blasts... ryder.. only flew.. and had no energy projection...
Current iron man has force fields, the techno virus, thousands of backup drones, he has been shown to past mach 8, fly through space without any additional gear help, and even recently, gained the ability to mimic spiderman's spidersense....
no.. this fight is not as far apart as you all think. richard ryder has not yet proven his skill with his powers yet. starks also been shown to create energy fields that can absorb and turn into energy for his suit, magic, lighting... and other various attacks.... he'll at least be able to shunt off the majority of the damage to lay into nova who has never been shown to have much of an endurance.

I'm still unconvinced about the spider-sense thing. I could see that being ignored by writers for the rest of Tony Stark's life.
But yeah, IM's a beast. He's rarely, if ever, written to potential though...which is where the problem comes in. Usually he just acts as a mid-tier brawler. One or two gadgets and/or tricks might show up in a fight, but he never uses more than 1-2 at once....the rest are usually forgotten.

True but don't we usually go with them written at their best on this forum?

Yeah. I always just like to think about how it would be written. Armies of IM drones + forcefields and spider-sense isn't likely to make it into, say, CW #7 for instance.
Thats civil war.
go into iron mans own comics and you'll see him pulling out his drones.
thats like comparing thor comics and iron man, and cap america comics to avengers (thor/im appear stronger in their own comics than in avengers)
hell you'll see gay ass stuff like extremis, healing factors... mind wiping the whole planet to forget his iron man....

If it's the herald, this is spite. If it's current Nova from the nova corp. , it's also spite. Regular nova, could be a good fight. I'd favor Nova based on sheer power and probably better tech.

Nova the corps member? Ironman wins
Nova Prime with full nova force? Nova Prime
The Galactus herald? NovaBut none of the fights are easy.
Tony is really formidable these days.
