Danny would have one hit KO'd that cyber Rancor that was giving Vader so much trouble..

Anyways, in all seriousness, Danny's stock has steadily risen for the past few decades.
Even I never would have argued he could walk off getting his back broken, but that's exactly what Bendis had him do. And he's taken abuse on par with Wolverine on several occasions, such as taking a fall from airplane heights, and just walking it off.
Vader can toss him around, maybe. But do any sort of real damage?
He's have to completely immobolize him and cut his head off, pretty much. And he couldn't even choke a Rancor because of a metal plate around its neck, much less use the force to throw it around. He ended up spearing it with a thrown lightsaber.
Try that on any Marvel martial artist, they'd avoid it and break the device..

You're very generously playing up iron fist while simultaneously lowballing vader. Vader's shown that he can easily lift and crush a multi ton AT-AT. He easily lifted an AT-ST after it fell on him. How exactly is rand going to resist him crushing his heart or brain?
Even his durability is ridiculous. He tanked a nuclear reactor going critical and blowing up the facility he was in. He walked off a sith temple blowing up underneath him. He even tanked having a whale ship flown directly into the Executor and the resulting explpsion that damaged the star destroyer.
But even if he did, none of those feats are beyond Iron Fist. He'a suvived nukes and destroyed the better part of a city with a single punch. At his best, he punch's out peers of Thor and reality warping, civilization soul reaping otherworldly demons.

They did have crazy stuff back then. But the last Vader story before the current one was a lot more in keeping with movie power levels.
Basically, he could slaughter mooks all day, but not bring down f'n Star Destroyers or raze worlds with Force Storms.. Put Optimus Prime in front of EU Vader and he tears him apart. Bring in the Vader of that last series, and he gets stepped on.
Like I said, a modified Rancor was basically knocking him all over the room. And Vader couldn't choke him out, because of a metal plate put in its throat.

I'm kind of confused too, since I just lied, and have no idea what I'm lying about.
Can a lie be a higball? Isn't it one or the other?

Hell, a drunken half god Herc can tank everything on your list that Vader endured.
I'm not saying these aren't impressive durability feats, but I think you need to see more of Iron Fist in the same way you think we need to see more of Vader.
