Lex luthor (in his iron suit) vs iron man

Originally posted by Rage.Of.Olympus

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..

Also, Iron Man has stated that he holds back every time he fights Hulk...and this was post WWH.

This is the lex that is geared up with his own ironman suit that he has fought superman along with other heros with.

Who wins the majority.

The Pre-Crisis Suit was on par with PC-Superman, so Lex would stomp with it.
Post-Crisis it was not bad at all but not on the best Tony has to offer, though Lex beat Supergirl with it
and I would place her > Tony, it was still made to fight Kryptonians.
I'm rather Undecided but leaning towards Tony.

Iron Man wins.

That's exactly what I was saying his suit was desgined to fight Kryptonians. He has an advantage from the jump because he brings their weakness.

And Supes still tears his suit to shreds.

Yeah, Ironman does have some insane fts...insane.

Yep so trying to use that as a means for beating ironman is meaningless.

I'd have to go with Tony here. Lex has the advantage in raw power but Tony has more versatility and this is basically his bread and butter. Lex is smarter but Tony is a much more experience combatant and should take a slight majority here.

It kinda fought Superman well, which is >> Tony. And we later learned it was of New God tech (Darkseid).

I realize it sucks to say it, since Tony's whole thing is his suit, but Lex for the clear win.

🙁

Tony wins... He will find a flaw in lex suit & exploit it... Lex weapons aren't for iron man so iron man can unload on lex

Good luck on Tony finding a flaw in New God tech....Even Rocket Racoon was laughing at the poor standarda of Tony's armour and knowledge, especially when compared to cosmic standards.

I'm trying to figure out why people believe that because Lex gives Superman a decent fight that he would automatically give Iron Man a good fight, or simply beat him handily? Lex's suit can exploit a Krytonian's weakness to kryptonite and all of that mess. This does not somehow carry over to Stark, because he isn't Kryptonian. Despite the tech that went into making Lex's suit, I believe that Tony's suit is more advanced. The design that Lex is using is incredibly similar to what it was 40 years ago. I mean has there been many changes to his suit?

I'm not saying that Lex can outdo Tony in building a suit, that's Tony's bread and butter, but I do think that if Lex wanted to he could make his own suit more than just something designed specifically to fight Superman.

Err...on second thought...

So one statement undermines all of the feats that Tony has brought to the table? Is there one member on the GOTC that could beat Tony for the majority based on feats? So yes Lex can give Superman a fight until Superman decides to take it up a notch, but how well would Lex do against someone that could not be so easily exploited? Tony went round for round with Nova Prime. I wouldn't place too much faith in Rocket Racoons statement.

Tony wins , hell that black and gold armor is a serious beast !

His space armor is most likely better.
