The Master Chief can't lift tanks. That's a game mechanic. Every official source that states his strength lists it as about a ton. The Halo encyclopedia specifically states he can lift about two tons.
Scorpion tanks weigh 65 tons. Or 55, don't remember for sure.

Whatever the stuff inside IronMonger was, was at least 5X what Ironman had. So I wouldn't use him as a decent comparison to Ironman when it comes to durability. Considering what Ironman has shown at full power.
"Class 2" isn't an arbitrary number, it means "2 tons". <--- Halo canon states that Spartan 2's can lift 2 tons.

"Class two" is a Marvel comics term, used to describe characters who can press two tons above their heads.
I am sorry, but obvious gameplay mechanic is blatantly obvious. The ****ing human marines in Halo 2 or the ODST guys in ODST can flips tanks too, are they that strong?
The Halo Encyclopedia directly explains that a Spartan in armour can press two tons above their head on average.
I can't find a pdf of it or a scan of it, but that is what it says boyobo. Maybe Blax will find it for you.
Ironman should be class 100, iirc, in his Mark VI. I do not know where I'm pulling that number from and it is most likely from me combing the comics with the movies.
MC has a personal shield.
We are using the short films (I am excluding the Dragonball-esque short) and the short film shows a Spartan-II (a female) throwing an orbital entry pod 20-30 meters. Based on the size of the pod, I'd estimate the mass to be about 1-2 tonnes. The important factor here is how easily she threw the pod. Rough estimate on her lifting strength: 20-50 tonnes.
I may have calced that "strength" feat from that Spartan-II, actually. Compared it to the world-record shot-put (because that record is remarkably close to the distance the pod was thrown and they are throwing that the shot-put in optimal "tossing" fashion making her feat greater than the scaled down human one). Hmmm. Does anyone remember that thread and what I concluded? Don't feel like spending the 30 minutes researching and calculating to come up with a minimum, again.
I think his base armor in the comics is low 100 tons at best. I know some sources classed him as sub 100...
But he can overcharge his armor, making him well above class 100, which is why he can wipe the floor with characters like Thing or Colossus in a fight, or hold his own with Namor and knock out Hulk...
But yeah, the movie Iron Man doesn't have too many lifting feats..
And if it were not for the shitty writing and prose-style in most comics these days, I'd be very tempted to read the last 2 or 3 years of the Ironman comics. The tech used gives me boners.
GTFO, nigga.
SUVs range, greatly, in weight. I do not remember the SUV picked up but it looked generic and medium in size. Its "in use" weight is probably 3 tons.
Wait, there's a Halo Movie? I don't pay much attention to Halo or Master Chief but how come MC can use his game feats but Iron Man is restricted only to movie feats?
Considering how those aren't allowed, he has to. But he doesn't. Proof is in previous posts involving Halo canon. He can't hit hard enough to break the armor (or Stark inside, apparently)
TV Series are not the same thing. We argued and got a ruling about this a couple of years back from Impediment. Things like the Animatrix, Halo Legends, and even made for TV movies are allowed. TV Series are not.
I believe we could use the old man that played chess against himself in the animated short before Toy Story 2, if we wanted to get picky on who is allowed and who isn't.
