The Mandarin vs. Thor

*IM3 spoilers*

By Mandarin I mean Aldrich Killian, of course. He was pretty badass.

He fights Thor, hammer and all. Who wins?

Aldrich was lame Thor punches his face in......

Thor > Pepper Potts > Gay Mandarin

He breathes fire, cut Iron Man's in half with one swipe, and tanked explosions on every inch of his body.

He could match Thor. Or at least Thor will have to work for it.

edit: regenerative limbs too.

Was the suit he cut the same one Tony used to fight Thor?

Tony used many suits to fight Killian. And all were more advanced armors than the Avengers version.

Killian can create heat of 1670 degrees Celsius. And swipe armors like a hot knife through butter.

Thor has better feats. And he could've killed Stark quickly if he wanted to.

Thor will crush Killian after a battle.

Isn't lightning supposed to be around 29,982 Celsius?

Woops got my math wrong. 2726.85 degrees is what they can acheive apparently.

IMDB quote-
Apart from being able to regenerate limbs and heal wounds, these soldiers are capable of generating massive amounts of concentrated heat inside their bodies up to 3000 Kelvin. The Iron Man suit is supposedly made of titanium alloy which has a melting point at 1670 degrees Celsius (which is 1943.15 kelvin), so it is perfectly possible for it to rip through the suit. In essence, Iron Man has met his Kryptonite in his latest enemies. Only metals like Tungsten, Osmium and Rhenium can withstand heat as high as that said to be given off by Extremis soldiers.

And Thor was obviously holding back in his fight against Stark in their battle.

"You want me to drop the hammer?"

Thor after a nice fight.. Killian can't handle the Jotunheim maneuver.. and doubtful he can withstand the lightning let alone being hit upside the head with Mjolnir

Thor.

The Mark 42 wasn't impressive at all. Not trolling, business as usual Iron Man(see Avengers) would have made short work of Killian.

This Iron Man I speak of couldn't even make Thor sweat whild powered up at four times his peak normal power.

You're all saying Thor held back in his fight with Tony, ok so if Thor can easily kill Tony why didn't he just knock him out? Surely that would be something simple for him, I've no doubt he probably was holding back but still...if he's strong enough to kill someone he's strong enough to easily knock them out

Because it would have been a less interesting fight if that had happened.

The thing people seem to be forgetting is that the Mk 42 armor was one of the many made by Tony just to make it. It was part of his insomnia and nearly none of them were as well put together as his older models. It's why War Machine fared so much better. Didn't Jarvis even say 42 was barely combat ready?

It's the standard 'and now two of the heroes have a fight where neither gains a clear advantage so that the fans are pleased and no one whines' thing almost all movies and comics do. Comics are ****ing terrible for this, actually.

Everything we needed to know about Thor v.s. Iron Man was established the moment Tony headbutted Thor with little effect, and then Thor headbutted him back and left a dent in the IM armour, sending Tony reeling, IIRC while Tony was at 400% power.

Pretty much this. Thor will take it easy early on, giving Killian a chance to surrender. He will get surprised by his speed and the heat he generates will irritate him. But once Thor gets angry, it's over. A dozen blows from mjolnir and Killian is splattered everywhere, if he's really mad. Try regenerating from that. If he's feeling merciful, a whole lot of lighting strikes for a cleaner kill.

I still wonder about the 400% Iron Man. Did that mean he could operate the suits weapons and powers longer before running out of power? Say 100% means 10 minutes of gung ho while 400% means 40 minutes or more? Or everything had more "oomph" because he had more power or both?

I wondered if the piecemeal suit in parts had a different power source that the arc reactor. It was an experimental version that had trouble flying at first. Was he trying to edge away from using the chest piece?

I don't think it was that(but I could be wrong), wasn't he more obsessed with getting the Extremis version of the armor where he could summon it to him?
