I think he (Mr. Terrific) stands a decent chance, myself. Unless Tony is relying on his own human eyesight, he won't be able to pick up Terrific. I wonder how much firepower the T-Spheres pack, though, and whether or not it would be enough to deal any worthwhile damage to Stark.
Yeah, as of yet, I don't think his T-Spheres could unleash enough firepower directly to damage the Iron Man armor, but with prep, I'm sure he could up the ante so to speak.
I don't see why not, tbh. But I think increasing the firepower of the T-Spheres to a level where they could harm Iron Man would take most of his prep time. Not to mention all Iron Man needs is a lucky or stray repulsor ray or unibeam to waste Terrific.
I'm not sure. I'd imagine Iron Man's armor is pretty resistant to hacking (though by no means immune). I think Terrific would have to work pretty fast to breach Tony's defenses, especially if its a process that would take even the slightest amount of time. And once Tony figures out he's facing a foe that he can't pick up on his sensors, I think he will try manually targeting Terrific.
I'm still undecided for the most part, but I do think Terrific has a shot, especially with prep.
You assume T can't take IM down on the first strike.
IMO Mr Terrific is probably the best bet of a non-powered individual taking down Iron Man thanks to his tech invisibility.

True. I'd need to see more feats of the T-Spheres damage output before I can make a truly informed decision. That being said, based off of what I have seen from Terrific, given 5 minutes prep, he's going to make Iron Man work for a victory, even if said victory only requires a single shot.
Come to think of it, Extremis modified all of Tony's senses (sight included.) And since Extremis is a form of tech, there is a possibility that Tony might not be able to see Mister Terrific, even with his 'human' eyes.
In this matchup Terrifics tech, which is invisible to all other forms of technology is going to deactivate Tony and his suit
And theres not a damn thing IM can do about it.
