While Niles genius extends to a greater variety of scientific fields the I nes that matter in a battle favor Tony.
Put simply
Any IM armor weapons >> anythinh Caulder ever put in Robotman. Caulder has (post retcon) created great assault powers (like Negative man, and elastic girl etc) but the way hes done it would be classed IMHO as outside help so not allowed

Niles also gave himself kryptonian powers. 👆
Looks like DP 22. Here is the wiki description. Haven't read the issue in a while.
Super Chief"Caulder later gains the body of a Kryptonian, and successfully duplicates the ability to absorb yellow sun radiation into the cells from it, transforming himself into a "Superman". Caulder then attacks his team, before setting out to do their job himself. He steals every missile on the planet and dumps them in Antarctica, and attacks the United Nations in his attempts to make "a better world". He is only stopped when his laboratory computer, "Millicent" transmits a sequence of lights through Robotman's eyes and into his own, neurologically shutting down Caulder's brain. His comatose body is then placed in storage in Oolong Island.[7] Afterwards, the Doom Patrol discover that someone has broken in and stolen Caulder's comatose body.[8]
And Desaad's brief feat list for Niles. Pretty impressive, IMO.
Next would come the really big science guys. I this grouping might be The Chief, Ray Palmer, Prof. Ivo, Will Magnus, Professor Nichols, and maybe Mr. Terrific.The Chief has invented a time machine, replaced the JLA's abilities with tech approximations, brought Rita back from the dead with just a piece of her skull, created nanobots that could literally do anything, including create a being so powerful that he was throwing his victims through the fourth wall into 'our' reality. And it looks like he's going to discover away to alter his genes so that he becomes Kryptonian.
Did you read the issue yet? Here are some more of his feats:
