- CAPTAIN AMERICA OR IRON MAN: WHO WINS IN A WAR?
Stark suffered a heartbreaking defeat when Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers teamed up against him during the Captain America: Civil War. However, if no one interfered during the faithful bout, could Iron Man withstand the blows from the star-spangled super-soldier?
Although neither Stan Lee nor the Marvel Cinematic Universe can answer this question today, we analyzed how a real battle would turn out between the two Marvel characters.
IRON MAN
INTELLIGENCE
The movies and comics alike testify to the genius of Tony. From an intellectual perspective, there is no question that Iron Man is the smarter of the two heroes. But despite the brains, Tony’s overbearing ego may get the better of his sense of judgment and cost him the victory. [1]
STRENGTHS
Tony Stark is not physically gifted but tops the scales in IQ. The same genius allowed him to create the arc reactor keeping him from getting killed. With his unlimited resources, Iron Man can create anything that he puts his mind to, and all his creations add to his strength in battle.

TACTICAL SKILLS
Iron Man is also a good tactician and strategist. Out of precaution, Tony made a robot army to help save the world when needed. Along with Dr. Banner, he also made Ultron as a defense system designed to protect his fellow Avengers.
SUPER POWERS
Marvel comics made Iron Man be the counterpart of DC’s Batman. His comic book writer made him without a superpower other than an incredible intellect. Although physically inferior against other superheroes, Iron Man’s armor grants him super strength, durability, flight, and an array of weapons.
CAPTAIN AMERICA
INTELLIGENCE
Steve Rogers is the oldest and wisest in the Avengers. He’s not as smart as Tony, but living throughout history has helped him develop a well-educated approach in the politics underneath each battle. Trained in the army, he is an excellent strategist and the more vigilant between the two Avengers.
