WWHbuster had to be sabotaged.
"Namorbuster" raped Namor underwater.
Thorbuster got trashed, but not before giving one of the most powerful Thor incarnations ever a damn good fight - and Tony was still willing to continue.
It matched one of the weakest Hulk incarnations - so had it gone up against Savage, yes, it would have been.
Argo Hulkbuster went up against it's original intended target? No, it didn't. It went up against a team who's most powerful member was Classic Cap Marvel.
Agreed on WWH.
Namorbuster was an actual specific armour created to fight Namor? Or just another underwater armour, which goes back to my point that 'unnamed' armours do better than 'named -buster' armours.
The whole point of a buster armour is so Tony can brag about his new toy, only for it to backfire on him and lose.

Steve and Logan are A-listers who could solo most of Marvel Earth anytime they wanted to.

And I think it's only fair to say that Tony would have fought differently if he had known the nanites were not an option.
Still, gotta give one thing - he did better than most heroes in the event.

Not bona fide Namorbuster, hence I've used those inverted commas.
HOWEVER... it was called Submariner, so take that as you will 🙂

Originally posted by DarkSaint85Yeah, the buster armors typically do well against their opponents at first, but then almost always end up failing. They're usually just inserted into a book for the sole purpose of making the other character(s) look good.

The writers are essentially wanting us to say: "OMFG! Even Tony Stark... THE Tony Stark... Couldn't build a suit powerful enough to put 'x' character down!?"

Don't get why I'm asked to stop but the people who tend to troll Marvel, that is using the same kind of argument im using here, isn't. I didnt even use Superman this time (I could have), I'm using Flash.
Riddle me this.
I drive from my home in NYC to pick my friend up in LA, and he arrived at my NYC home after two days.
I ferried him in my car at 55mph (speed limit on the highway).
How fast was I driving?
Remember, I had to drive FROM NYC to LA as well.
Let me put it in terms people can understand.
At 13:57 and .00001 microseconds, half a million Koreans seemed to materialise on a hilltop 35 miles away from the blast
After 48 hours, 10 of my closest buddies were sipping beers 2,790 miles away from LAX, where they landed
They were carried there
They were driven there
One at a time, sometimes two
One at a time, sometimes two
At a hair's breadth short of the speed of light
At a hair's breadth short of 70mph
So, how fast was DS driving? We are calling it a speed feat for my driving, so let's calc. the max speed of my driving!
Carver: No, DS was driving at 70mph THE ENTIRE TIME.
Obviously, I took extreme liberties with the numbers (LAX-NYC, me having 10 friends), but the point is there, I trust.

The scan, the SHOWING say a breath under light speed. What you're asking doesn't matter. The writer even mentions "it's just comics". Me doing outside calculations here doesn't matter because again, the only speed mention here is under light. Hold that sh**
Lmao, obviously not. Stop ignoring statements that don't agree with you. We don't ignore comics here, friend. It clearly states that 500k Koreans were rescued in 0.00001 microseconds, 35 miles away, whilst being carried under lightspeed.
But there are two trips for every rescue. One trip into the city, and one trip out. The trip out of the city, was completed under light speed. I am not arguing against this.
For me to get all 10 of my buddies over 5,000 miles in 48 hours, I HAD to have been breaking speed (and possibly physics) laws to complete the entire operation in the timeframe.
For Flash to have evacuated them all, he HAD to have been running faster than light to complete the entire operation in the timeframe.
Simple.

Need some assistance. How fast did Flash go in this scene? Anyone have a number for this...
Doesn't sound you need assistance for the speed Flash was going in that scan.
