Mystique vs. Mandarin

What do you think?

vs.

Spite. Mandarin could beat her just using his chi-powers, nevermind his rings.

Mandarin wins, but I'm doubtful about how easily he'd beat her without the rings. After all, she's taken some serious hits over the years and kept going, she can shift her appendages into lethal weapons, and mandarin has actually had difficulty with a significantly less skilled martial artist (iron man).

But yeah, with the rings, mandarin wins 10/10.

...Iron Man can lift 85 tons. Having trouble with him is not a sign that Mystique stands a chance.

Iron man is stronger than rogue. And much faster than mystique in reflexes.

And how hard would Rogue be willing to hit Mystique anyway?

Also, last time I checked, rogue had classic Ms Marvel level strength and we all know how Tony did against her......

Remember when Doctor Doom tried to morph that Asgardian girl Valeria.
You know how hard it is to kill a metamorph.

1) Stop using handbooks. He's been a solid Class 100 for decades.

2) He's done well against Mandy without his suit. And before Extremis.

When?

Hands of the Mandarin arc.

Then you have Tales of Suspense #86, in which Tony removed his armored gauntlets and KO'd Mandarin with two punches.

This is important.

Was that while or after Mandarin wore an M emblem on his chest?

Hands of the Mandarin, after.

Tales of Suspense, while.

In Hands of the Mandarin, Tony surprised him with one punch, and then Mandarin owned him.

Tales of Suspense was after a long, draining fight in which Mandy was already basically done. It was a humiliating finisher, but more in the vein of blowing really hard to comically blow over someone already 99.99% defeated by more powerful attacks, rather then a sign that Tony could do this to a fresh Mandarin.

Mandarin failed to KO him despite landing like a dozen of blows. Tony even still had the strength to cheapshot him with his helmet later.

I need to remind you that "fresh" Mandarin passed out from the pain after he hurt his hand on Tony's successful block 😛

Yeah but if Mandarin hurt his hand then he won't ever be able to hide from Dr. Strange who got hurt that way and will never have white magic.
And while Dr. Strange's magic is alive he can amp up any one he wants to.
Including humans and mutants.
