Stephen Strange vs. Tony Stark [H2H]

No powers (including tech, Extremis virus, eyeball replacements, magic, artifacts).

Civilian clothes, no weapons of any kind.

Who wins?

Strange

I'm probably influenced by the cinematic universe now, but both are pretty skilled relative to each other. I want to say Tony wins though

Im gonna say Tony because even though he uses a suit he regularly engages in melee combat as opposed to Strange. He still works regularly and trains with beings like Cap,Widow, and Hawkeye. He should have picked up more than enough h2h to fight a wizard with no magic

aren't they the same dude?

Yeah, Tony should win.

Wasn't Stephen supposed to be a trained Martian artist before he learnt sorcery?

No. He was a surgeon, you DC junkie.

But he did become skilled in martial arts thanks to Wong later in his career.

Thing is, so did Tony (due to his training with Cap).

Strange's style may be more flashy, but being flashy doesn't always mean being more effective.

again, aren't they the same person?

Just for you, Mind:

Stark is a dog, Strange is a cat.

Back in the day Strange did Judo and Tony was built like Tom Selleck whereas originally, Strange had far more of a Vincent Price vibe. Selleck kicks the shit out of Vincent Price, Judo or not.

Tony, no doubt.

Stark throws hands on the daily with his suit.

Strange makes balloon animals with his hands.

Let's be honest, there's only one reason why Stilt made this thread.

Clea is probably one of my fave porn star type comic characters.

Tony's more likely to go for the kick-in-the-nads move, so probably him.

Damn, I took the bait.

No. I really believe they are in the same h2h skill tier (more or less) and I'm undecided on who should win.

Strange's showing against mind-controlled Wolverine is one of his highest feats ever though, not denying that 😛

He definitely was as hairy as Selleck.

Anyway, you've made a great comparison here.

Hey, judo helped him against Dormammu:

Stilt, do you have the scans of costume-less Tony vs Cap in h2h? It was around Civil War iirc.

No, unfortunately.

But I believe I remember that fight. I was actually trying to find it a while ago 😂

To make sure we're talking about the same encounter --- Tony was covered in that Extremis yellow "coat", but without his armor, right? Cap was in his costume?

One of Tony's greatest showings ever, even if Steve was going easy on him (I'm not aware of the full context behind it).

I'm quite sure it's in Iron Man's own title [thus the portrayal], but it was pretty great.
