a) feel free to explain how a feat explicitly requiring lightspeed will be performed by Sinister;
b) Boundless tells us that Iron Man's hardware is good, but his reflexes are sub C, and thus the strength of his hardware doesn't matter. This distinguishes the scan from the fight at hand: Iron Man's reflexes are better than Sinister's, and thus the strength of his hardware does matter. Unless Sinister has better TK offense feats than I've seen from him, I don't think he's picking apart Tony's armor like it's LEGO.

I won't continue this debate much further because I don't want to chase down scans and I don't have an Iron Man folder ready to go. That said, I think Sinister is benefiting from the forum's recency bias, and Tony is suffering, because we haven't had a serious IM fan on the forums in a while.
IM is also arguably a low herald. More importantly though, if we strip away Sinister's biggest offensive weapon (TP), his remaining attacks are limited to things that are all sub-herald, and all inferior to Tony's armor. If Sinister wins, it's through attrition.
