Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.
Magneto I gess but if he gets lucky enough he can cut of the head of characters more powerful than him like Thor using repulsor blade. However that wont happen but if he gets lucky he could beat Thor.
Round 2: No gadgets allowed for Stark. Iron Man can only use repulsors and/or H2H.
I have no idea.
Round 3: No gadgets allowed for Stark, No flight. Iron Man can only use repulsors and/or H2H.
I gess he can't amp himself using gravitational pull like he did with Magneto. No idea.
Round 4: No flight. H2H only.
I don't know. A lot of characters would stomp him yet other characters would get stomped by him.
@g2_: Come on, Iron Man can´t beat Hulk, let alone Thanos,
To be fair he can beat Hulk with prep (but prep is not allowed here).
and that one shot you talk about, Stark almost got himself killed in trying to beat Hulk.
So you have a guy who almost died while KOing another guy who was pissed off yes but was also weakened. Seems like stalemate or Hulk having the edge. Although his new armors will hold much much better, Hulk also gained an upgrade.
Thanos. If he can one shot Hulk in the older armor, he will have a good fight with Thanos and might beat him.
No way he is beating Thanos. He will get lolstomped by Thanos. He KOed the Hulk who was pissed of but weakened at the same time and Stark almost died. Tony has way more powerful armors now but no way he's beating Thanos.
Hulk.
If that is Pre-Core Breach than maybe Bleeding Edge nad Endo Sym could but Post-Core Breach no way.
War Machine.
They are stronger characters than War Machine Iron-man could beat even under these limitations.
Captain America.
So only hand to hand he can't beat anyone stronger than Cap? Please come on man. Here is the list of strong characters he can beat hand to hand.
@whoisthebest: Based on Bleeding Edge feats, I do argue he can beat them. Iron Man can trap and manhandle Apocalypse in a shield and later blast him with mountain level repulsors. But let me tell you why he can beat Hercules, Doctor Doom, and Nova:
Want to see how durable he is? Here you go:
Even if En Sabah Nur hitted Iron Man, Tony is definitely not going to get oneshotted:
Want proof at Grey Gargoyle being already par on Thor?:
Yet, while amped, Iron Man was still able to tank hits from him. It shows that Stark can severely injure and wound him with his energy blade:
This is enough for him to beat Apocalypse, in an extremely close fight.
Next up:
With the first scan, good luck Dr. Doom hitting Iron Man. He can beat Extremis Iron Man, but in Bleeding Edge, Tony takes the majority, he can set up shields. Dr. Doom vs. Iron Man in many, many years ago was never a stomp in Doom's favor, so I'd argue Stark can beat him. If incase you think this is not allowed in OP (that I made), shield is allowed. "No gadgets" mean no sonics, no tasers etc. I'll edit the OP to make it less confusing. By the way, he has shielded from Final Form Ultron:
Not to mention in Tony's classic days he is capable of harming Hercules, plus he is faster and can fly, Hercules can't. Remember, Iron Man has an EXTREME advantage to those opponents that can't fly. Bleeding Edge is WAY stronger than the classic suit. Iron Man in a weaker ANAD armor can block a punch from Nova. I am not going to reply to prep part for now. It's irrelevant to this thread.
@adriusus: I'm not sure for Apocalypse. A guy still has Celestial Armor and totally destroyed Thor without Mjolnir. Not sure I have to think about it. I agree for Hercules.
I don't know for Richards. He is fast, durable and is energy manipulation. He is not the strongest guy in the world so I don't know who woudl win if only hand to hand.
I can't agree with Doom. His tech is almost as advanced and he is better tactician, better fighter, more inteligent, smarter and his magic is way to powerful.
