@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve Strength is going to be hard to guage here. While Ironman can lift anywhere from 50 to 500 tons (depending on power sources and the type of suit being used), X-O Manowar can destroy even ships with ease, and can crush both alien Mechs and tanks. Ironman's strong, but aside

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve from a Hulkbuster suit, I doubt he could destroy a ship with one punch (he could knock a hole in its hull and make it sink with a punch, but completely destroy it?). It takes a LOT more force to destroy a ship than sink it. If one looks a the Halifax disaster, that ship

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve experienced a blast that was equivalent to 2.9 kilotons of TNT. That's like a low yield nuke! That's far more powerful than a torpedo blast.

So, unless Ironman is wearing the Hulkbuster suit, X-O Manowar has the strength edge (Indeed, even with the Hulkbuster suit, I sincerely

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve doubt that it has the raw superhuman power needed to obliterate a whole ship!).

The flight speed advantage goes to Ironman. While X-O can keep up with fighter jets, Ironman can actually move faster than them. Thus, in the heavens, Ironman will be able to out speed X-O

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve , perhaps even considerably so.

X-O has the far more powerful energy blasts, capable of destroying Aircraft carriers and submarines with one shot. Ironman's blasts are not pushovers, but I cannot recall him ever destroying ships that size with one shot. Indeed, I don't recall

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve him ever attacking such ships (though it most likely has happened, if anyone has a scan of such a battle, please post).

It will be hard to gauge hand to hand combat training, but considering that Ironman works alongside Captain America and others with considerable H2H training,

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve he's probably received some training himself in this regard, while X-O, coming from the Visigoths, wont have had a similar level of H2H training.

Killer instinct goes to X-O. He's a Visigoth! He's far more likely to kill his opponents than Ironman, who tries to play the

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve superhero boyscout when it comes to whether or not to kill his opponents (he almost never has done so, if ever).

Ironman's suit is advanced human technology, while X-O's is made of advanced alien tech. Indeed, his suit can intercept enemy transmissions, such as...those between

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve Stark and Jarvis...!

Thus, X-O will have considerable intel advantages

Ironman suit can get messed up if enough electricity or lighting strikes it, or something made out of either strikes it.

You know, like a sword made of...electricity???

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve Stark will have a serious advantage when it comes to intelligence, both with education and craftiness. Stark is a genius who, like Odysseus of old, thinks his way out of situations, not relying just on brute force alone. He's going to face a VERY powerful opponent, and often

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve superior force can be defeated by superior cunning. Consider Odysseus when he outsmarted Polyphemus the cyclops, or David when, as a shepherd boy, slew the Philistine Giant Goliath. Ironman can likewise use his craftiness to pull over a victory over the savage X-O.

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve However, this fight might be over in the initial exchange of punches, with Manowar simply being FAR stronger and FAR more powerful than Ironman. Bruce Lee was far more intelligent than any Chimpanzee or Orangutan, yet if they exchanged a few punches, would Bruce Lee be alive?

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve Not even Andre the Giant could have handled punches from an Orangutan!

And combine this with a electrical sword???

Ironman would have an initial advantage in the sky, but I sincerely doubt that this would enough to give him the win. X-O is just too powerful, and though with

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve some time, Ironman could come up with a plan during battle that would enable him to beat XO, I don't think X-O will give him the time to do that. He'll hit him initially with as much force as possible, and that won't be good for Ironman.

My verdict???

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve Drum roll.

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve X-O MANOWAR SHOCKS AND AWES IRONMAN!!!!!

@WhoWouldWinShow @AlmightyRay @ValiantComics @JamesGavsie @bengleib @3RShow @delvin_cox @Sinjun45 @MediaTekRundown @ComicCrusaders @TheShawnG @getMetal @Beorntheviking @WolverSteve BTW: I prefer the storyline where the Vine are the alien aggressors instead of the "Spider-Aliens". The former is richer and more interesting (and has a better name for its aliens).
