Technically any energy attack leveled at Dane should be able to be returned.

Dane also had in classic Avengers tales his "atomic Lance" which was also a blaster. Granted though I don't think he's used that for a VERY long time.

he could absorb the magic lightning sure, but that is a far cry from absorbing a repulsor ray, which i do not see happening in any way at all. he's also done well against magic--he's the only one who was remotely effective against spiral and he had her on the run. he could deflect one repulsor ray, sure, but i said an aoe attack would take him out, and it would, as would sonics. tony could easily just keep pouring it on and he has no defense against a barrage of missiles, which would also finish him. dane's armor is pretty good, but just because it has a cool origin doesn't mean it's good enough to withstand the pounding IM would dish out.
and obviously he doesn't have the lance in this match....
