I have no idea why so many people think Iron Man would beat Thor.
Is it because of The Avengers movie? Thor would spank Iron Man.
I mean...... he can swing Mjolnir faster than the speed of light.

Who has been telling you Iron Man beats Thor?

The Avengers movie was not kind to Thor. The opening scenes of Thor's movie had him soloing hundreds of frost giants effortlessly. Then in Avengers, he's jobbed big time. Not that I'm too upset, otherwise he'd have made Hawkeye, Widow, Cap, and Iron Man pointless.

This, they needed to make Tony Look good as he is the star of the franchise. Lets not forget, that with Bruce playing second to Tony's in the lab, they needed to give hulk a boost too since he is one of their top characters and needed a showing to dwarf all that drama that was going on with his ex-actors.

Granted the Frost giants didn't exactly have any high showings either, and Thor didn't look like he really wanted to hurt Tony.

Thor would destroy Iron Man, HANDS DOWN!

I actually like Iron Man as a character better than Thor, but I'm not letting that blind me to the facts. Facts are, Thor is leagues stronger, can fly faster, and has much more powerful abilities.

I actually though Avengers did a decent job showcasing thor. He totally manhandled Iron man WITHOUT mjolnir and had a very good showing against Hulk, again partially with some h2h, despite holding back. Only people who are ZOMG HULKZ ANZ IRONZMANZ!!!!! thought that iron man and hulk whooped his behind.

Thor beats Iron Man, but Iron Man is massively a better character.

For the record, how many people think Batman beats Superman? It's the same thing

And Iron man wouldn't have solo'd all those Frost Giants? They weren't impressive IMO. There's no way Thor is soloing the invasion.

I don't think he was jobbering in Avengers, just reduced his role. He didn't want to fight Hulk, he didn't want to fight Loki, he prefers to handle fights in a more physical so that's why he was clubbing with his hammer. Those characters listed always seemed out of place anyway, while the obvious heavy hitters of the team were Thor, hulk, and Iron Man who could have taken care of bidness alone.

The facts are that Tony was joking around and still did pretty well against Thor, all things considered. And while Thor is stronger, and might have better abilities, I noticed you overlooked the enormous gap Stark has over him. Thor's not a smart fighter at all.

Where was Stark manhandled? ROFL Cause part of his suit was crushed? Thor being the dumb-dumb that he is powered Iron Man's suit to a level Stark didn't think possible, then Thor was embarrassed after being blown back by Cap's shield. Did Thor manhandle Loki when he fell for the same trick a second time? lol

Yeah, it's not like Batman has ever defeated Superman before.

Yeah, Batman hasn't ever defeated Superman in a canon story before.

@gungunw: Batman beats Superman all the time on the Battle forums. Batman can defeat Supes if he wanted to, just like Superman could kill Batman.

The big difference with that is:

Superman > Thor

Iron Man > Batman

Bahahahahahahahha.

Anyway, Iron Man can beat Thor because Iron Man has BS plot powers. ANTI-MAGNETISM ARMOR.

Even after Thor and Iron Man's 'scuffle' in Avengers, Thor still has no problem saying 'You humans are so puny. And tiny.' to Tony and Cap.

Not to mention Thor never unleashed lightning in Avengers like he did on jotunheim.

He does care about Earth so didn't unleash power that would have destroyed New York quicker than the nuke

@biteme_fanboy: And then he got shanked by Loki, right?

@fimftw: all things considered, Thor is practically invincible according to the Marvel Wiki, and what I have personally read through comics.

@nightwing4: ccompletely agree. The viewers are gravitated to Tony Stark, therefore the studio has to buff him and nerf Thor.

youtube commenters, who think they know facts about the comics just because they seen a movie.

Messed up.

They're the worst, people making a living trolling comment sections. Yuck!

I don't think Iron Man could beat Thor at all. In the Comics there is a wider gap then in the movies. The example many see to go back to is the Avengers movie. Yes RDJ is the headliner and needed to look good but the way I see it is Iron Man did well but you could see that if it had continued much longer Thor would have caused so much damage Tony would no longer be able to protect himself, let alone attack. Also I dont think the Thor v Hulk was unkind to Thor. Its clear to me he was trying to reach the man behind the beast not fight him all out.

Thor was only holding back against Iron Man to not kill him. He didn't go all out against Hulk either because of the amount of S.H.I.E.L.D personnel onboard the Helicarrier. if he'd summoned Lightning,everyone would've been fried. However we saw him take down many enenmies when he lit up lots of Chitauri and at least 2 of those Space-Whales(were they Leviathons?) as they were coming out of the portal. He was shown as extremely powerful. He used his powers to his full potential in Jotunheim because there we no innocent civilians in sight.

@xanni15: " while the obvious heavy hitters of the team were Thor, hulk, and Iron Man who could have taken care of bidness alone."


none of his weapons did anything against the larger guys lol, he literally had to fly inside one to kill it lol. Handling it alone BARELY.

ROFL!

None of his weapons did anything but he killed them, so his weapons obviously did do something. lol I think what you meant to say was that his weapons couldn't penetrate the outer shell, but that doesn't matter since he found a way to get inside and kill it. Before any of the other Avengers showed up Iron Man was handling the entire invasion by himself, while Thor was obsessing over Loki, Banner was in route on his moped, and Cap and the two love birds were flying in.

Ok my mistake, none of his weapons did anything against the OUTTER shell, he flew inside of one blew it up, including himself then bashed into the pavement and bus stop. That's practical. Imagine handling the rest the same way repeatedly...How long do you figure it would take for his shields to drop, blowing himself up and smashing into the ground over and over

And I don't know what you mean handling it by himself, they all left the helicarrier at the same time and took to different areas of the city. I am not saying Ironman, he did a lot I just don't think he could have handled that by himself, considering by the end of the movie his armor was running on like 5% power.

I'm not saying that Iron Man could have defeated them all by himself, just that without Widow, Cap, and Hawkeye, the heavy hitters of the Avengers (Thor, Hulk, IM) could have. Sure, the casualties would have been greater but the invasion would have been stopped.

They may have left at the same time, I don't recall, but Iron Man got to the city fast enough to trash talk Loki, change suits, and do some major damage to the invasion forces, all before any other Avenger showed up. I agree that Stark couldn't have done it by himself, but Stark deserves to be mentioned along side Thor and Hulk and the heavy weights of the Avengers.

I always think of the Avenger's heavy hitters as equal in their overall power. Whether it be through brute strength, supernatural powers, intellect or leadership, they all possess equally important skills. That's why, together, they are the Earth's Mightiest Heroes and always find a way to beat the odds. That is why we all enjoy them so much.

Now that I got that out of the way, Iron Man knocks Thor out into an Odin sleep.

Yeah, I don't think Tony's winning this one.

Iron-man can beat Unworthy Thor, I'm sure. But he is not winning against Worthy Thor.

Iron Man outside if some stupidly haxed and PIS armor and prep should never beat Thor especially in a random encounter. King Thor handled that encounter well and so did JMS as well. Thor holds back...if he wanted to he could obliterate IM.

This ^

Although Iron Man would put up a great fight every time.
