Iron Man is objectively a better superhero than Batman.

Two things. 1. We were supposed to be debating in rounds 2-3 but whatever. 2 who could win in a fight does not determine the better superhero. But I'll bite. Wealth: I agree that Forbes should stick to finances and not comics but here's a point. What does Bruce Wayne do with his billions? We know he keeps buying Batman parts. But Bruce Wayne splurges his money pretending to be an idiot. Tony Stark has built thousands of acres of intelli-crops to feed starving kids in Africa and all over the world. Motivation: This is an irrelevant point. I don't see why we should compare why they fight crime. Just because Iron Man didn't see his parents murdered doesn't mean he wants to fight crime any less. Intelligence: First and foremost I'm sick of people saying Batman is as smart as or smarter than Tony Stark. All evidence points to the contrary. Just look at that Batman suit compared to Iron man's! One uses a revolutionary power source, can fly at Mach 10 speeds, has its on UI complete with AI and thought interface, and allows the user to lift over 100 tons. The other has a glider, a grapple hook,and a utility belt. " With Batman being the smartest one in DC and IronMan only the 3-6th spot you can say that Batman will outwit Ironman by making an rpg whcih will malfunction Ironman " OK non-sequitor. Just because he's the smartest in DCU doesn't make him smarter than literally everyone else in MU. Btw for the longest time Reed Richards was considered the smartest in the Marvel universe until Iron Man took the extremis virus increasing his thought capacity ten fold. He beat Reed on 5 different chess boards at the exact same time using different moves on each board. Note that all batman vs iron man always come down to "well Batman could invent something to...". Batman doesn't invent nothing. Morgan Freeman apparently builds all his gear so if he can't even create his own armor how's he going to take down someone's a thousand of times more advanced? Biggest Battle: Did you seriously just bring up world war hulk? For those of you who don't know, Iron Man was defeated by the Hulk during the World War Hulk event. However let me give you a back story first. Hulk was blaming the death of his wife and son on certain Earth heroes. He. Beats. Everyone. He beats Black Bolt who's voice could vaporize earth if he so much as yawned. He then beats two teams of xmen including Cyclops, wolverine, and the unstoppable Juggernaut. He defeats the avengers and the fantastic four at the same time and Ghost Rider. The hulks power is literally unlimited. He could survive on the surface of the sun. Tony Stark( and this is before extremis ) dons his HulkBuster armor and actually would have defeated the hulk but someone sabotaged his suit. As a result he got crushed under Stark Tower but was perfectly fine. He later fixes the part that was broken and defeats the hulk who had gotten so enraged his footsteps were destroying Earth. That is the true story of world war Hulk. http://marvel.wikia.com... The rest of my opponents argument shows that he has no idea what he's talking about. I strongly suggest he check out iron mans long list of power, abilities and weapons. http://marvel.wikia.com...(Anthony_%22Tony%22_Stark) I'll even copy and paste some from that page. Stark is a mutated human due to the injection of the Extremis bio-virus and the "Bleeding Edge" armor nanotubes which are powered by the arc reactor in his chest. Psi-Shields: Due to new S.H.I.E.L.D treatments, Stark's mind is shielded from even the strongest telepaths. Direct Cybernetic Interface: The Extremis virus has fused Stark's armor to his body. Initially the inner layers of the Iron Man armor were stored in the hollows of his bones, but later his entire exo-armor would be contained within carbon nanotubes. He is able to manifest and control the armor through direct brain impulses and even utilize some of its powers when unsurfaced. He has direct, cyberpathic control over the communication devices, scanning equipment, and recording devices located in his helmet. Wireless Communication: He is also able to remotely connect to external communications systems such as satellites, cellular phones, and computers throughout the world. Stark is also capable of projecting his voice through transmitting sound systems such as cellular phones via electric transmissions from his central nervous system. Superhuman Reflexes: The Extremis virus grants him enhanced speed reactions and movements. Regenerative Systems: Stark is capable has the ability to biologically heal himself and repair the armor. Limited Shapeshifting: His armor is made up of nano-machines that can be commanded to turn into any type of structure upon Stark's skin. Examples include clothes, other armors, additional weapons over his armor like a boxing glove or a modified laser cannon by having the nano-machines change their properties into whatever Stark wants them to. They can also dissociate to transform into the Iron Man armor whenever Stark wishes. Iron Man Armor Iron Man's primary powers come from his armored suit. Suiting up the Iron Armor: The armor used to require several machines to put on the suit, in a lengthy process. Later, this was changed to having it in a suitcase, which shortened the suiting up time, but was not very effective on the battlefield. However, recently, it has been shown that Stark can hold the armor within himself, and use it when needed, and spring into action in mere seconds. Support Powers Superhuman Strength: He is capable of lifting up to 100 tons when wearing his armor and can achieve higher levels of strength when powered by a sufficiently more powerful source. Superhuman Speed: Even when not traveling for extended distances, the armor enables the wearer to move and react at very high speeds. Flight: The armor can typically reach speeds in excess of Mach 10, in recent comics however Iron Man has been depicted as able to reach orbital escape velocities (5 miles per second) and up to speeds that can outrun black holes. Use of the jet boots provide enough power to lift a load of about 500 tons. Power Cells: The armor is powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. Not to mention the arc reactor that also powers the suit. Energy Conversion Power Recharge: The armor is also able to absorb and convert nearby or far away energy sources, such as heat, solar, electrical, magnetic, geo-thermal or kinetic energy or energy from the planet itself into electricity, or even drain energy directly into the batteries for recharge. Self-Contained Life-Support System & Environmental Protection: The armor can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation, biological, chemical, corrosive, kinetic, and electrical attacks as well. Magnetism: The armor can generate magnetic fields to pull or push metal objects at will. Onboard Computer: The armor has an internal onboard computer operating system that aids Stark in providing strategies, background information on opponents, surroundings, the status of the suit, and prevents a lock on from targeting systems. Sensor Array: Known sensors include radar/lidar, night vision, and physiological/medical scanners that allow Stark to take and monitor the vitals of other people, including heart and brain scans. These scans also provide Stark with real-time personal physiological data. They are also capable of an all-environmental scan for atmospheric content or life forms--including astral energy projections. So what exactly can Batman do? Face it. He's outmatched and outclassed.
