Iron Man vs Our Planet

He would possess easily the most advanced weapon to walk the face of the Earth. I don't see any real world weapon or tactic we could mobilize to stop him that he couldn't counter based on feats.

No argument over the most advanced weapon, but how many nukes at once do you think he can handle?

Thanks to the Cold War, we've got a pretty good system in place to launch a crapload of nukes very quickly and accurately. Add to that the fact that we've got nukes all over the world, and there's no way Tony is taking them all out before some launch. To boot, nukes release a nasty EMP when they blow...

I think we can take him out, but there's no doubt the world would be trashed in the aftermath. 😬

we could nuke him to oblivion...obviously with much collateral damage

If the world decides we need to spam nuke Iron Man in order to "win", it's not much of a victory considering the collateral damage, and that's if we manage to hit him. Between his mobility (which should crap on real world nukes based on feats) his ability to disable weapons, and defenses, I don't think a massive nuclear offense is what it would be cracked out to be. We'd have to be able to find Iron Man, somehow track him, and manage to hit him, and I don't think our technology is up to par to do that against some of his older armor, let alone Extremis/Bleeding Edge.

doesn't tony have to recharge his armor? that would be the best time to launch an attack since we should know where he is....he can't recharge in a forest

The nukes would never hit him and if 1 did manage to hit him it wouldn't do anything his shields would protect him.

well, we would have to time a nuke attack with great coordination

I don't think we'd be able to do it, tbh.

Periodically, yes, but how do you propose we'd find him?

Pretty sure he doesn't have to recharge anymore his new suit is supposed to have a limitless power source.

his shields would be taken out by a nuke...this ain't a comic nuke where the blast radius is smaller than a house. this is a real world nuke...IM will be decimated.

I don't think he would win at all. Real world ftw. i'm unconvinced he would know where these "major threats" are.

Why are people acting like he has to be hit by a nuke dead on? Nukes have a blast radius of miles and miles.

He anit dodging that many.

You do realize the blast radius of a nuke, right?

He can't hack.

Intercept them in the air how?

Tony is not allowed to hack our systems. Can our world's combined military take him down?

I don't believe Tony's main armor was shown to be resistant to armored piercing bullets have he?

h1a8, argue for Iron Man's side.

I argue.

Because he loses.
