Iron Man solo's Hoth.

The Rebels? Or the Empire?

I meant if given vaders powerset and a lightsaber of IM armor which would you choose?I go with vader.

Yeah but the lightsaber is nothing compared to force powers. Might as well also add Stark Enterprises to the pot with IM armor.

Probably the rebels.It seemed that hoth was very poorly protected even my rebel standards and their best/only defense was the shield generator.

...and yeah, i meant more dangerous/destructive.

Then there is no comparison. A lightsaber is a sword that cuts through nearly anything.

Iron Man can fly at speeds faster than military jets, resist any military artillery used in war short of a nuclear weapon, has strength that can easily slam tanks together by holding each with one hand, and has a variety of energy-based weaponry.

That's not even taking into account magnetism, sensory systems, life-support systems, and an image inducer that displays holographic images to confuse opponents.

Are you sure your thinking of classic IM?

Both. Obviously the Rebel forces at Hoth were insignificant but the Empire would fall to Iron Man too. It was three AT-AT Walkers and some Stormtroopers.

Yup. Where was I innacurate?

More then three AT-AT's multiple AT-ST's quite a few imperial probes and at least a battalion of storm troopers.IM anit beating the empire.

I don't remember his classic suit being able to just take something short of a nuke...but meh.

And Vader. And Luke. And plenty of firepower from the planet and from above.

Iron Man in his Classic Armor isn't soloing the Battle of Hoth when it's debatable if he can beat Vader one on one here.

Like Stormtrooper weapons are of any threat to Iron Man. He could easily nuke the area and kill them all from hundreds of feet above. He could induce images of Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, or their commanding officers and lead them into traps.

AT-AT pack serious firepower and are durable but they can't aim hundreds of feet above them. They're designed to shoot ground forces not aerial objects.

AT-ST's? Again, some threat to Iron Man. Imperial Probes? Meh, don't make me laugh. Solo destroyed one with a couple blaster shots.

Vader came after the Rebel forces were already overrun. Luke is a decent pilot(nowhere near that of his father) but is no threat to Iron Man with the X-Wing's arnaments.

Since when does classic AM have nukes?And their weapons not doing anything?BS.

1 shot=1 kill.And what does IM have to take down an AT-AT.

They are.Probes not so much but they still are.And a full battalion of Storm troopers.

I beg to differ.

"Nuke" as a term of obliterating the battlefield. I wasn't implying that he was in possession of any nuclear weapons. He can "nuke" the area with repulsor rays, pulse bolts, or shots from his Uni-Beam.

1 shot=1 kill? Bullshit. He has manhandled tanks with his strength. He could speedblitz the damn thing. They aren't exactly the most manueverable things around.

"Not so much but they still are." Please explain to me how Imperial Probes are of any threat to Iron Man. 🙄

Storm Troopers? Again, what threat are they? You think they're blaster fire will pierce the armor?

And they are going to do nothing about it?No.

With the AT-AT's yeah a shot will knock tony to the ground then another shot to kill.

Blaster shots.Its not like they ineffective.

It will hurt him and with a full battalion of troopers they will take him down.

What can they do? He's going to be hundreds of feet in the air away from their sight.

Doubtful? He's far more durable than a Rebel Alliance X-Wing. The guy has gone toe-to-toe with Class 100'ers including Hulk.

Against his armor I don't see them doing much. Vader's armor withstood them, apparently. CIS super battle droids have withstood them to a limited degree.

I don't see it happening. Iron Man would have a field day with Hoth; Rebel Alliance or Empire.

BTW, I've stumbled across various sources stating Classic Iron Man boasts force fields, a tractor beam, sonics, and an EMP(which he'd recover from in 6 minutes).

Lightsaber? It's not like Iron Man doesn't have cutting lasers emitted from his Uni-Beam.

Would the Empire's blaster count as energy for Iron Man to consume thanks to his energy absorption devices?

edward elric vs wolverine

pfft. Ed better keep this long distance or else he's gonna get phucked up.

It seems that unless Tony takes Vader down in the first second he's going to have serious troubles.

How can Vader answer to a bull-rush omni-repulsor blast?

^ force shield...?

I don't think a force field would stop Vader's Force Choke since it isn't something that's going against the field.

Possibly. YouTube video

I honestly don't think he could.

I'd imagine a lightsaber would work.I have never seen/read of a lightsaber failing to cut through a metal or skin.Just things like forcefields and other lightsabers.

Yeah really.

There are actually a number of materials in the SWU that a lightsaber cannot cut through.

The novel is much more detailed.

As Galan stated, their are a few things that can resist lightsabers. Darth Vader's suit is apparently on of them in certain areas.

It'll go through Iron Man's suit without issue though.
