Cross-Genre Match #2: Darth Vader vs Iron Man

Who wins?

Ironman Extremis tech allows him to appear behind him at blurring speeds and blast the crap out of him with repulsor splash damage while sending nanites into his armor.

Vader has to see what he effects with the Force doesn't he?

Especially in such a fast melee fight that Tony is dishing out.

Ironman wins 9.5/10.

Not really much of a debate to this. Iron Man rapes Vader. Is this like him in his first suit ever? He can beat him with one casual punch.

Classic Gold and Red Iron Man vs. Vader is actually a good match. I assume we're using everything canon for Vader then as far as feats go? Video games, comics, books, etc., so long as it's been deemed canon for the Star Wars Universe?

A lot of people don't see the Extended Universe as canon though.

The Expanded Universe is canon, though. Galan or someone else would know much better than I, but the EU is just as canon as the movies are.

You could give vader all of that and he still loses everytime.
At the end of the day, it is still A Ranged flying melee fighter vs a Close combat melee fighter whose only true ranged attack is a saber throw that can be easily dodged.

Well I don't know hence why I'm not going to argue about it. I never said it was or wasn't, just saying that I hear a lot of people say that it's noncanon.

Fair enough as I don't delve into Star Wars nearly as much as I used to myself. But yes, to my knowledge, the Expanded Universe is canon unless a writer or creative consulant from Lucasbooks/film/whatever comes out and declares it's not or the specific medium is a "what if" tale or something similar. KOTOR, for example, is canon, provided that Revan was a male who followed the Light Side of the Force. KOTOR II is also canon, and the Exile is referred to being a Light Sider female Jedi in sourcebooks.

Vader from the EU and Star Wars canon as a whole is a completely different beast than strictly movie Vader. I don't see Classic Iron Man stomping him nearly, if not every time.

Geogre Lucas has not made a decision on it one way or another. Most ppl assume his non-response makes the EU cannon

Explain to me how Vader wins against Ironman.

Crushing him in his suit, saber tossing him, pretty much using the Force to brutalize him. If this is upper end Iron Man, which it's not, then I'd be more inclined to say Vader is doomed more often than not. Classic Red and Gold Iron Man however, is within Vader's means to beat.

Cross-Genre MIS-Match #2: Darth Vader vs Iron Man

A dualist with some force push and force choke and some fireworks vs a ranged missile launching, laser shooting, mach 3 flying, sonic carrying, auto targetting, heat seaking...

Really?

Can Vader Choke out Stark inside his suit?

He's choked people through speaking with them on monitors without being closeby, and unless I missed something, classic Iron Man's suit doesn't have anything to prevent something like the Force from crushing him.

I don't see why he couldn't.

Saber toss can be easily dodged by Ironman. Vader isnt just simply gonna crush Ironman with the snap of his fingers using the force. Classic red and gold has a force field built into the suit to keep it rigid and mantain his form. Ironman can hang back and Hawk vader with repulsor and pluse bolts till Vader is a hunk of hot steaming metal

Even if we use EU feats Vader still loses, since Iron Man's armor defends against telepathy and telekinesis and he could bombard him from long range.

Force Choke isnt an Instant Kill by any means. Ironman is capable of using the Lasers in his fingers, and/or the Tractor beam in the suit to break vader's force concentration
