not always. He has slugged it out with superman and league members. Namor has man handled stark more than once.

And Iron Man has slugged it out with Savage Hulk, Sentry, and others as well. Namor looking good against Iron Man doesn't take anything away from Tony or how he'd fare against Lex, either.

namor is not nearly as strong, fast, versatile, or durable as superman. So yeah, I think it does.
Neither is Lex Luthor's armor without exploiting weakness exploitation. When Lex and the Injustice League were throwing down with the JLA, as soon as the GL's made the fight "more fair", Lex was quickly routed by Kal-El.
Lex isn't anywhere as near a formidable a combatant like Tony, who can multi-task, is way more battle savy, and has a vast amount of options available to him outside of punching and blasting, and has just as many feats, if not altogether better, of fighting enemies outside his tier without resorting to specific weaknesses.
Absolute best scenario for Lex is if we assume his suit gives him Kryptonian-level(ish) stats based solely on his scuffles with Superman and as such decide to give him an overall power advantage against Tony. Conversely, Tony's smarter in the heat of battle, has better tech, and more options to implement said tech than Lex can.
Originally posted by carver9deathstroke was altered when he fought. Tony's simply below namors power level generally speaking. Which is way shouldn't last against any opponent that can contend with superman.
Deathstroke isn't nearly as strong as fast and as durable as Sentry or Surfer.You see what I did there?
😕

The times that tony fought Namor he's been in or around water. So he was taking on the Namor capable of tossing around tens of thousands of tons. Standard iron man armor can't stand up to that for long. And based on the way superman tears lex's suit to ribbons almost at will, I don't think he'd last much longer against that kind of strength.

So are you saying Deathstroke during the time he fought Lex was>>>Namor or Sentry?

Yeah, it was.Action Comics #892:
Deathstroke Vs. Lex Luthor(Battlesuit)
Slade is emotionally affected by residual black ring energy and tries to kill Lex. He overpowers him, flips him to the ground, and kicks him in the face(which still damages him despite his forcefield). He would've killed him, but they nuetralized the energy's affect before Slade could do so
IM's a suit guy, I get it. Its just that his standard suit couldn't stand up to superman for any respectable length of time.

It stood up to Sentry.IM beats Lex; can't he just hack his suit?
Extremis Ironman barely sped past Sentry before getting clobbered 10 blocks down.
Ironman hacked Sentry's CLOC resulting in a narrow escape. Later Tony dumped a Helicarrier on Void.
Both of those methods won't work in this fight unless Tony can hack Lex's tech.
Tony hacked Doom's computers though mocking Doom in the process so yeah Ironman ftw.
Iron Man, and unless I'm forgetting something, it's going to be a short fight. IIRC Lex did well once against Superboy but if we go by high feats only, it's even more one sided in Tony's favor as he has some legit elite moments every now and again.
The recent fight in Legacy against the X-men was extremely impressive. Took them all down -but Rogue- using an older model through remote control while building a Phoenix buster suit. It was stated that he could take out half the X-men by his lonesome as well.
That fight he had against Magneto was just insane in terms of the power level they were operating at.
Also, in the recent Hulk smash issue, it was stated that Green Scar was the single being on Earth stronger than -Extremis- Iron Man despite Rulk, Sentry, Ares etc. being in the same story. That was an eyebrow raiser for me, particularly since it came out of Banner's mouth and he was serious at the time.
He also did extremely well against the Savage Hulk Popularity will have given him a shot in the arm if he racks up some more feats, it's done the same for Hulk, Wolverine etc..
People kill me talking about how Lex took on Superman in his suit as a measure for beating Ironman. His suit is powered by kryptonite that's how he is able to take supes on just like Metallo. Ironman has way more feats plus he can remote access another suit if his got damaged. Lex can make this fight interesting I'm not saying Ironman stomps him Lex is still very smart but in the end Ironman will take this.

Yea, which means his suit held up to Sentry's attack.
Last time IM tried to hack Doom's systems he couldn't even connect.
What are you talking about?
