Stark vs ID4 fleet
Tony Stark is present when the alien fleet from Independence Day invades. He must defeat them.
Stark has his all the suits/tech/gadgets from IM3, his pal Brody and Jarvis. He receives no help from Will Smith or Goldblum. Can Stark figure out a way around the shields and defeat the alien fleet?
Stark figures out everything Goldblum's character (David) figures out, including the virus that takes down the shields, in 10 minutes. On top of this, Stark's virus causes all of the ships to change their atmosphere systems to become toxic for all the aliens but still safe for humans. Stark then harvests the technology from the ships and adapts it for his uses. Then he makes it better.
He discovers the invasion and mitigates it in about 10 minutes. He then does everything else over 2 weeks in a montage.
Gwyneth Paltrow is still hot.
Going by feats, David >>>> Stark in computer science.
That cat was able to create a virus that was boh compatible with and took down an advanced (from his POV) and utterly alien operating system in a very short amount of time. With a 1996 PowerBook 5300 no less.
Jarvis might be a game-changer though.
Gwyneth is indeed still hot.
IDK if Stark can do this. He'll have to evade dozens of smaller enemy ships single-handedly while simultaneously taking down the mile-long one. And that's just one mile-long ship. and let's not forget that Farmer Spud had to die to take one down. As far as taking down the mothership, the only reason Goldblum and Smith got as far as they did to plant the virus was because they snuck on another alien ship. IDK about Stark just flying into the mothership with no resistance whatsoever. He couldn't even handle the Chitauri invasion until he got "assistance" with a nuke (which won't work here). I don't see how he's taking on this far greater alien threat.

A fleet of alien spaceships with unpentreable shields against Iron Man?
Nothing he has in his arsenal can penetrate those alien shields. His tri beam was completely ineffective again the giant beasts in Avengers. Infact Jarvis told him they will lost power before they penetrate that armor.
Tri Beams are the most powerful thing on his arsenal and Stark was getting his ass handed to him by the Chitari.
Stark is out numbered and outgunned to a fleet of shielded alien ships..
With Prep, Jarvis Wins

And if it did, would it penetrate the hull of the mother ship? Nope. Also, how is Stark gonna destroy the mother ship?
A lot of people polishing Stark's Iron Man in this thread.
He literally has no way of infecting the mother ship with the virus. The shields stay up and IM gets raped.
Jarvis or no Jarvis, prep or no prep, he has zero chance.

No, not even close. Analyzing the decay of a signal and discovering that the decay had a negative linear growth is a math feat, not a computer science feat. A very simplistic math feat, at that.
Creating malware that causes a system failing DDoS is not a high-end hacking feat, either. He could have just created a buffer overflow which is something script kiddies can do. The bulk of the computer science was done by the researchers in Area 51 over decades. David just used their knowledge to create and deliver an obvious malware payload. Not so obvious to a sentient species that is used to living in almost a pure communist system where creating malware like that would cause harm to everyone: it is likely their species purged such thinking from their society thousands or millions of years ago because it was implied that this is what the alien species did to survive (took over planets, consumed their resources, and moved on).

This is correct. Jarvis appears to be able to pass any Turing Test and then some.
Additionally, Stark created the HUD in his Ironman suit in addition to the AI that interfaces and operates his suit...almost overnight.

She's still very fit, too. As you know, I like fit chicks.

He can barley make it out of orbit, n people think he can make it into space.. 😆
Great post!
Even with Shields Down he gets wrecked, that armor on the ships is insane. And there are way to many. He gets wrecked.

Radio signals are what make up Wi-fi. Radio signals most certainly can and do make it to space. We can detect radio signals billions upon billions of miles away. Freshman college students can and do conduct homework assignments where they detect little ol' Betty's Wi-fi signal hundreds of miles away. The reason they cannot detect it further? The curvature of the earth is getting in the way! haha
And the aliens seem to be able to communicate with each other, just fine: yes, signals can and will penetrate their hull as their communication network was the primary delivery medium for David's virus. David just uploaded it to the mother-ship because he's not smart enough to uplink through the communication network.
What David did was like walking into a highly secured Server room and attaching a USB stick directly to a server rather than using a remote terminal to do the same. 🙂 He's just a weak hacker.
Something Tony Stark is not. Tony has shown multiple times that he's probably second to none when it comes to his hacking, cracking, and infiltration skills.
