^ Like I said earlier, Tony took a hammer strike from a pissed off OF Thor, relatively unfazed... And that was with no shielding in place. So IF Tony for some reason put all of his better judgment aside and decided to bumrush Thor (who is hammerless here), he could likely take numerous physical blows (especially with shields on.)
But if Tony played it smart and used the more exotic functions of his armor, he could make this quite a battle.

Seem more like an "unknown" than anything else.
You're seriously low-balling Mallen here. Throwing a car is around Class 5 strength, and he was exhibiting far more than that. Do I have to emphasize that he critically injured Stark while he was within the armor? He cracked the mid-section of the armor with a punch, broke his hand, tanked missiles and repulsor blasts, and ran over 300 mph. All of that happened to Tony before the Extremis upgrade (which would have been Model 29), and he was wiping the floor with Mallen in the second fight.
If you don't think Extremis Iron Man can win, fine. But don't try to use the Mallen fight as 'evidence' because it clearly shows how much of an upgrade Extremis really was.
