Iron man vs Superman

Started by Cogito7 pages

Putting aside what Tony could hypothetically do with prep, what has he actually done that would beat Superman for a majority?

The Thorbuster
The Hulkbusters
The Phoenixbuster

Those three (and various incarnations of #2) lead me to change my mind, and say even with prep, IM loses.

Well he hasn't prepared for Superman in comics, so.....

Not to mention that Luthor has years of prep time and explicit weakness exploitation upgrades compared to what IM will have here.

Aaaaaaand also that it only says "prep time" which means Superman is also preping.

Aaaaaaaand Superman has defeated a preped Batman in post crisis.

All that was done in character, not even going all out.

Superman wins both times

Superman has several villains that exploit his weaknesses, and he still beats them.

Even if Tony employs Kryponite or red sun, it's still an uphill battle, but he can do well in the second fight and maybe even win.

First fight though? Not a chance. Superman wins, and the match lasts as long as Clark allows it to.

I don't know about post-reboot Sups, but Pre-Reboot would accidently kill Stark in the first fight.

In the second, well... It depends, I guess, of how Stark use his prep.
If he goes retarded, and just build a better suit, Sups smash his face.

If he uses it to gather informations on the ****er, and build a suit made to beat kryptonians (like, Kryptonite knuckles and Red son energy repulsor and shit), he might wins.

And if he uses it to beg his pal Reed The Man Richards to build him a special ray gun to one-shot him, well, he stomps. Because Reed Richards, man. Reed Richards.

We are talking about a man who was able to obtain and process Asgardian magic to fight King Thor to a near standstill. King Thor >>> Superman. Ironman would find a way to defeat Superman with prep. Hell, all he would really have to do is add kryptonite to the Thor Buster Armor.

So he has been given a dossier on Superman's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.....but Superman doesn't get anything?

Who said that he does? Did I misread the OP?

Was a reply to Blue Area Vet.

Op just says "prep time" and does not specify if is only prep time for IM or SM or both.

In anycase IM will fail as he and Luthor (who has more xp) always do

Yeah but is Luther being constantly updated on the status on the individual he is fighting

Cos that's what will make it or break it for Stark.

The analysis and diagnostics that Stark gathers from his suit and other recording devices

From what I am seeing, people dont know what Ironman has done prep wise.

I have.

How were those Hulkbusters?

They got busted

You mean, getting prepped and get stomped, like against WWH, King Thor etc?
