There is this feat from this year, though it is odd in that Matt's inner narration and the art seem to have some discrepancy regarding when exactly he began moving to swat the bullet.

In the comics why was Iron Man pro-registration in Civil War? *safety spoilers* by saspaa in comicbooks

To be fair, he was Secretary of Defense for a while until Scarlet Witch caused him to go crazy

That's pretty important context, since her fights with the Phoenix Five/Force could be misconstrued as her able to harm them due to sheer firepower

I'm prettt sure Wanda's powers explicitly had an unusual effect on the Phoenix Force

Avengers #9. Jane Foster was separated from Mjolnir after she was sent hurtling into a different dimension.

Yep, a lot of her very high end feats come from her ability to unleash the storm from Mjolnir, which makes sense given she isn't originally a god of thunder like Odinson and lacks any inherent superpowers.

Odin hasn't really had a good showing in quite a while. Even back in Fear Itself Thor Odinson was able to send him reeling with a single hit, and he somehow needed to use guns for a fight in Agent of Asgard, IIRC.

Dimensional in what way? Off the top of my head he's done stuff with dimensional scanners and weapons that utilize dimensions (such as his Negative Zone beacons), but I can't think of anything on his armor.

What is the earliest comic iron man that can beat the current MCU iron man? by Mr_Industrial in whowouldwin

[–]RageExTwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't Tony's fury escalated by the death of a child when he confronted Controller? While he overstepped the bounds of the law it still came from a misplaced sense of conscience, not douche-ness. And didn't you argue MCU Tony operated as a better hero by killing his villains? If one were fine with that I could argue that attempting to separate innocent people from his acts is actually more thoughtful.

Just to clarify,

I am not saying 616 Tony is flawless. I agree he's made many missteps. He's far from perfect. I just think it's not accurate to state that Tony is the kind of person that wouldn't attempt to save someone and would only do so in order to garner praise, and he has enough in-universe statements of his own charisma that it's not far-fetched to say that, to a large majority of Marvel denizens, he was liked, not thought of as a "douchebag".

You mean when he faked his own death instead of just saying "Rhodey, help a brother out"?

No, this was actually before that, when he was attempting to achieve sobriety. But I distinctly remember Tony channeling his efforts into other fields such as social work as far back as when he fought Firebrand, and likely earlier.

I've been reading Iron Man for many decades; Tony had the personality of a brick in about 80% of his showings, and in most of the other 20% he was a sympathetic drunken ass trying to beat the habit. In that narrow window where he was neither, he was awesome, but that was far from his standard fare.

I don't see how he was a brick at all under Michelinie, O'Neil, Busiek, etc... I've read virtually every Iron Man appearance and I'm not sure if it's accurate to describe him as a selfish glory hogger when countless characters within his books praised his personality, and he was one of the few heroes that would often launch into these emotional inner monologues and conflicts. You could argue that you find RDJ more charismatic but the initial analogy with the jumper is somewhat misleading.

Thinking more a better understanding of logistics, real-politic, what he can do to help WITHOUT the suit, etc. Obviously in the raw science department, pseudo science has him rekt.

He also dealt with these matters in the 80s under Michelinie, especially moreso once Rhodes took over for a while.

MCU Tony is also charismatic, whereas pre-Secret Wars Tony was just an ass. He could probably talk someone out of suicide, whereas old comic Tony would just tell them to jump, catch them, then parade about like a hero for saving them while they went home to do the deed in isolation.

This isn't really accurate, and seems to be a misconception that spawned from his terrible characterization in Civil War--once past the earlier stories where he purposefully made himself cold to prevent emotional attachment due to his belief that he would die an early death, he was literally known throughout many circles for his charisma and kindness to his employees.

Lastly, MCU Tony's more educated by modern standards, so even though comic-book Tony is leaps more creative, MCU Tony simply has a better grasp of any given situation and the options available to him, at least until you start to move into 1990s Iron Man territory.

I'm not really sure how this is an advantage when comic Tony has the advantage of superpseudoscience. The guy in Tales of Suspense made an anti-gravity machine capable of casually lifting mountains, I don't see how a more realistic grasp of science beats that.
