Counters
Here's Mando, from the Mandalorian show, sent flying and tanking attacks from an enraged Mudhorn, easily a massive, multi ton creature, thanks to his Mandalorian suit. Take notice that this suit wasn't yet made out of beskar or durasteel, so it's inferior both to his current suit and Jango Fett's suit.
Mando didn't tank that attack, he was knocked down and disarmed, failing to stand before the Mudhorn's next move. Later, the Mudhorn's attacks nearly knock him out and he had to rely on the child to save him. The Iron Man Mark 3 already had striking capabilities far above those of any rhino. Mark 2, The armor War Machine is based on, matched Mark 4, an armor stronger than Mark 3, in hand to hand combat, implying he strikes at least this hard.
The Mark 6 armor, which War Machine matched in hand to hand combat as well, could straight up punch through metal. A Mudhorn can't even compare to that.
If War Machine strikes, grapples or bulrushes Jango, Jango is done for. His physical strength is not even in the same league and there is no way he is tanking of War Machines strikes or this kind of bulrush.
He're Jango being hit with a horn, and than run over by a Reek, a beast similar to a Mudhorn, capable of crushing large stone pillars with his horn strikes.
Can you post the stone pillars feat? Even if that rhino can strike through stone, it still doesn't place him in the same league as someone who can strike through metal.
Here's Mando being protected by his original armor - again, much weaker then a default beskar or Jango's customized durasteel - being unharmed after a large Blurrg munches on his arm with it's massive chin full of spiky, sharp teeth.
Is Mando tanking a bite from an animal supposed to prove he can tank shots from an M134 minigun?
Can resist piercing/cutting with vibro-blades, powerful CQC weapons that can go through almost any metal in the galaxy.
Any proof/feats for that?
In short, you probably realize by now, that Jango's armor can protect him perfectly from anything Rhodes brings to the table here. Energy damage from explosives and repulsors, piercing/projectile damage from the bullets, super-human blunt force damage from his CQC weapons and fists...
What? You posted no striking durability feats the even approaching what's needed to tank anything from War Machine, no piercing durability feats to suggest he can tank repeated gunfire and no explosive durability feats at all.
With that said, the armor's plating only perfectly protects his limbs and vital areas. It does have a lot wider joint openings and cracks than War Machine's suit, so it is still possible for Rhodes to harm Jango with some effort. Still, careful aiming/sniping like this really isn't suited to Rhodes style and his weaponry, which is all about massive AOE destruction, so it will hardly matter.
Rhodes doesn't need to aim, he has an auto-targeting M134 Minigun on his shoulder, which can shoot 2,000-6,000 round per minute. If Jango has a weak spot in his armor, War Machine will find it.
It is even more so irrelevant, taking into consideration, that Jango's armor has it's own energy shields, which will be damaged and eventually destroyed by incoming projectiles, but can still block significant amount of damage before anything hit's it's user.
Any feats that prove this energy shield can withstand repeated gunfire or even that it exists outside of the video game and isn't just a video game mechanic? If it exists, it will be quickly destroyed, by the M134.
Mandalorian vambraces, or gauntlets, are part of the Mandalorian's protective armor that's - at the same time - one of their most powerful piece of offensive weaponry.
Any feats for the wrist-laser, wrist-rocket launcher or Retractable wrist vibroblades?
While Iron man suits work perfectly while flying at great speeds in one direction or slowly changing the trajectory, we've seen on many occasions that bringing an Iron man suit from a high speed to a dead stop and reverse is a tricky thing to do, which resulted to several hilarious moments, when Tony was not able to pull the breaks and stop his suit in time.
What? War Machine is far more maneuverable than Jango and the feat you posted to prove otherwise is completely out of context. Iron Man didn't crash because of his suits maneuvrability, he crashed because he had less than 5% power and he nearly fell asleep mid-flight. Under better conditions, he would have easily changed his course.
Similarly, when Iron man suit loses it's trajectory, it's rather difficult for it to immediately achieve balance again.
The feat you posted shows him immediately achieving balance again after getting hit by explosives, does Jango have any similar feats?
Even to take minor turns in the air, Iron man suits requires you to use the thursters in your hands to slow the momentum. Which obviously makes it impossible for you to freely change directions and use your weaponry at the same time
You just mentioned one of War Machine's biggest advantages. While Jango has only one source of thrust/lift, War Machine has 4, which provide him with much greater freedom of movement. For example, if he wants to turn, he can use his hand repulsors to quickly change his momentum, while Jango has to turn his entire body because he has no other source of thrust except his jetpack. If War Machine doesn't need to maneuver that quickly, he can use only his leg repulsors and he will still be more agile than Jango because he will have 2 sources of thrust/lift to Jango's one.
Just look for yourself how agile and dexterous is SW Jet pack in comparison to the War Machine.
Let's do that. This is what the Mark 3 armor can do.
War Machine was able to catch Mark 6 and bulrush him out of the sky.
He can take off from dead stop so fast he can dodge lightsabers attack from Obi Wan at the same time. He can literally get out of the way of the attacks performed by opponents moving at super-human speeds. Easily matches, and surpasses Iron man's tank shell feat WITH FLIGHT, which Tony could not do (tank tagged him while he was flying)
Any feats from canon Obi-Wan that make this impressive? Tony was tagged by the tank because he didn't notice it, it was a surprise attack. He easily avoided it later.
When Obi Wan finishes the roll and gets up, Jango is already gone, went into stealth instantly. Once again, he fights an opponent with vast superhuman speed here.
He just flew behind a pillar, that's not impressive at all.
Well we've actually seen Mandalorian jetpack catch up to a star wars spaceship, and keep up with it in flight , and these even when not travelling with the use of hyperspace are still designed for travel in massive hypersonic speeds, and we've seen them breaching atmosphere and reaching outer space in seconds on many occasions,
When?
and even crossing meaningful distances between planets within a few hours (TLJ chase), which would easily bring them to tens if not hundreds of thousands of kilometers per hour at the very least,
You can't compare Mando's tiny ship to the Raddus, a ship thousands of times bigger that was flying in outer space (where's there no friction) for hours in the same direction, constantly increasing its speed.
probably much more - many times the speed of an Iron man suit.
All this scaling is meaningless anyway, we can estimate how fast Mando's ship is moving using the clouds behind it, which clearly show it wasn't supersonic. How is a Mandalorian even supposed to fly at supersonic speeds, their helmets aren't connected to the rest of their armor.
In short, War Machine can't really dodge these based on his AI being able to trace a single tank shell. It's not even close. Barely anybody on the tier we fight on can dodge blaster bolts without sheer luck or precognition ability of the jedi. That's out of the question.
War Machine can just aim-dodge them by moving a lot faster than anyone Jango was able to hit. He never tagged a supersonic target or even a fast-moving one from what I've seen
Blaster bolt burns, melts and FRIES it's target, it scorches through tissue, armor, leaving the target a hot, steamy, molten mess. We've seen many times:
All the feats you posted are of canon blasters, which fire bolts of plasma: "A blaster,[1] also called a gun,[2] was any type of ranged weapon that fired bolts of intense plasma energy, often mistaken as lasers." (Wookieepedia). Plasma can't move at light speed because its made of matter. You can't use canon blasters to scale Legends blasters. Fast or hot, it's your choice.
Blasters can melt through almost any armor in the Star Wars universe, which is a much more technologically advanced universe than MCU's Earth.
No character in the three blaster feats you posted was wearing armor, where are these armor melting feats? What about the durability feats that prove that these armors are as durable as War Machine?
Battle droid armor, stormtrooper armor, clone trooper armors - all highly advanced military armors made out of fictional alloys much more durable than our earthly metals like titanium used for the War Machine suit - and we've seen them all being penetrated and molten by blasters shots with very little resistance.
Are you really using the material argument? War Machine is many times more durable than any existing metal, he is a sci-fi character that requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief from viewers, his armor does not make logical sense. Do these droids have durability feats comparable to that of War Machine?
When Rhodes had his arm overheated by an extremis fighter, we see that heat transferred through the suit immediately, physically burning/hurting Rhodes within the suit. It also appeared that overheating even this one part of the suit fried its circuits and forced it to completely shut down.
Well, not all heat-based attacks are created equal and you didn't post anything to prove that Star Wars blasters can generate this level of heat. The plasma blaster in episode 8 of The Mandalorian, for example, wasn't able to damage a simple metal grate, which was later cut by a plasma cutter. War Machine also has heat resistance feats, he was able to tank being electrocuted by Monaco, who could cut through Metal with his electric whips.
He can also tank explosives.
We've also seen War Machine's suit being deactiveted when it was simply grazed by Vision's laser beam. This doesn't just show us that War Machine suit is vulnerable to intense, hot beams of energy - it also shows us that War Machine's Arc Reactor is a pretty vulnerable weak spot of the armor in general. It that can completely deactivate the whole suit when it's overheat with a laser shot. Since it's exposed in the very middle of the chest piece - in my opinion that's a pretty large weak spot.
Vision's laser beam is far more powerful than Jango's blasters unless Jango has feats comparable to Vision melting Ultron or doing this:
he can even use his flamethrower for an AOE effect to get the job done.
War Machine can tank explosives, how is a flamethrower supposed to hurt him.
If arc reactor is damaged, War Machine suit is actually force to shut down completely, making Rhody not only powerless, but even unable to move. This is a massive weak spot in the armor that a master marksman like Jango can exploit to achieve one-shot effect.
A weak spot he could exploit if he had Vision's level of firepower and the ability to hit fast-moving targets.
He can wrap Rhodey in cables for a stun effect, and these cables have been shown to hold super strong characters in the past.
If Jango somehow wraps him in a cable, WM will ragdoll him.
He can cut through his suit at close range using cutting torch or vibro blades, if Rhodes tries to use his super strength to his advantage.
These blades have no feats except the one you posted which shows they can't cut through regular metal.
At close range his marksmanship skill is so great, he can outmaneuver characters using super-speed and precognition abilities that allow to deflect blaster shots, such Coleman Trebor, who is a jedi high council member and a powerful jedi master, and can deflect blaster bolts under normal circumstances with ease. And yet Jango's skill allow him to kill Trebr with just a few shots from a single blaster.
He simply shot him a few times from close range, you don't have to be a marksman to do that.
With legendary marksmanship skills like these, Jango should be able to score more hits on War Machine than he himself receives, at any distance.
None of these feats are against fast-moving targets, WM locking on Iron Man in a high-speed chase is more impressive.
Here we see Jango fighting and defeating Obi Wan Kenobi in their brief H2H exchange, which is one of his best CQC feat in the series, considering how powerful and skilled of a jedi master Kenobi is.
Here's Jango fighting another jedi master, unarmed, while the jedi master still wields his lightsaber - and once more, Jango is able to beat him in CQC.
And here's Jango one-shotting 3 jedi, when they gank up on him at the same time. Again - completely unarmed, when they wield their deadly lightsabers with immense speed and amped, super-human strength.
You didn't post any impressive feats for these Jedi, so beating them doesn't mean much.
Rhodes certainly didn't show us any skill on this level. He's been actually outmanouvered by street tiers in CQC before as well.
He was outmaneuvered by Captain America, a street leveler with superhuman physicals and hand to hand feats far better than anything you posted for Jango. He has beaten the likes of Spider-Man and Iron man, what has Jango done in comparison?
Wait, that's not an ultron bot. That's Iron man suit taken over by Ulron. I think you posted this by a mistake. Anyway, that's an incorrect feat for Ultron bots.
I agree.
That's not swimming through concrete. It's breaking a thin layer of street asphalt. Asphalt's composition is made out of tiny gravel rocks, sand and pebbles, so its integrity is pretty easy to compromise.
Agreed.
We even see that they aren't bulletproof. Not even against small fire-arms. Here's Black Widow (left from the Hulk), shooting down Ultron bots with regular pistols shots.
Black Widow is probably hitting their weak spots so they might be partly bulletproof.
Well, what are feats for this weapon? It certainly didn't kill Wanda, it didn't even KO her, and she is not even a peak human / athlete level human like Jango.
They both have eardrums.
She also has no headpiece protection, while Jango has his helmet. I shown this helmet no-selling flight at hypersonic speeds, which includes breaking the sound barrier, obviously, so it provides massive protection against waves of any kind, including sound waves/ air waves etc.
You didn't, that feat wasn't even supersonic.
huh? But that's not a truck. These are airport boarding stairs. They're a very light construction made mostly out of plastic / aluminum, because they have to be easy to quickly roll into the side of the landing plane and transported back again. They can be pushed around by a single worker, by hand. They're only durable enough to hold a couple people walking up and down, which basically means they only need the durability/integrity of decent ladder. I mean I agree that they're pretty big, and reducing them to scraps in seconds is a very cool feat for Rhodes - but it still speaks very little of his fire power. I think Rhodes have much better feats than this one.
It is indeed not a truck, but it's not boarding stairs either. It's a jet bridge, which weighs several tons and definitely can't be pushed by one person.
I believe Jango is faster (when it comes to reflexes - based on him being able to keep up with characters using super-speed
War Machine can keep up with characters that have super speed too (Iron Man for example) and these characters actually have speed feats.
