Civil War Iron Man takes an Iron Fist to the face...

Good points, Wallman. My post was in response to Mr. Alexander's below:

I was simply pointing out some feats in IM3 and Civil War that shows the Marks from those movies aren't quite up to par when compared to the Marks from IM1, IM2, Avengers, and AoU (AoU did come after IM3, I realize). Thus, one cannot assume that the armor from Civil War is superior to the previous Marks since it is used later in the MCU chronology.

My big points are
- Tony got hit by an AA shell in IM1
- Tony fought pretty evenly with Thor, flew fast and powerfully enough to restart and then momentarily keep up with the SHIELD helicarrier's turbine until he got slammed around by it in Avengers

IMO, these feats show these Marks that Tony used prior to IM3 and CW as superior in toughness, durability, and power when compared to the Marks in IM3 and CW, which upsets the notion that his armors always progress and get better in every area.

However, I do concede to your points made that Tony wasn't a pushover in CW. I completely forgot about the steel support pillar feat in Siberia at the movie's end.

I guess I should actually post about the battle at hand: really don't know. I'll be the politician and say that it goes similarly to the Luke vs Danny showdown in Defenders, with Tony getting knocked into the ground, gaining a headache and a newfound respect for Danny in the inevitable Avengers/Defenders crossover in 2022.

Ive made a very Important discovery. Check my next point.

I was searching through other Iron Man suits models and discovered something that changes everyones points.

http://ironman.wikia.com/wiki/Mark_47

This is the MK47. Which is the suit that replaced the MK46 after being destroyed in CW.

The MK47 is identicaal to the MK46 for little insignificant changes.

As uou can see in the Armor description the armor is made from Titanium Gold alloy

But what is more important, it is the exact same armor of the MK3...

Which means that MK3 MK6 MK46 and MK47 share the exact same armor.

The only thing different is that the MK47 has an energy shield which defends it from energy attacks.

So in that aspect the MK46 is as strong or a bit stronger than the previous models.
