Brute Strength vs Brute Intelligence (TV Series Homelander vs MCU Iron Man)

Both 8-C, Mark 2-5 key is being used, speed equalized, battle takes place in NYC
Does whatever the **** he wants:

Is a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist: 7

Iron Man is 1.95 tons in this key

Homelander scales above 1.03 tons

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Tony has almost 2x AP here, is VASTLY smarter, more versatile, has info analysis, and has far better LS. Tony takes this without a sweat.

Uhh, isn’t Homelander Class K while Iron Man is Class 100?

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Lifting Strength will hardly make that big of a difference here, considering Tony can zone Homelander into oblivion.

What do you mean by zone?

 

[Nullflowerblush]

With his Repulsor Blasts, Tony can keep Homelander at a distance ("zoning") for as long as he wants, considering his Attack Potency is nearly twice as great as Homelander's, eliminating his Lifting Strength advantage.

I mean, isn’t Homelander’s hearing really good? He should be able to hear Stark charging up a few repulsors and should be able to react, Homelander’s heat vision has a similar range to Iron Man’s ranged options so there’s that too

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Homelander is possibly class K from the implication that he could perform the feat on ground instead of air. And Tony is an airborne fighter especially in his earlier keys.

That's only a possibly

That's only a possibly

It should still be usable in vs matches considering it’s on the profile, and SBA says that characters should be at their peak strength unless the rules say otherwise

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Again, I will add on the fact that he has class K through the fact that he's unable to perform that kind of strength in the air (where these two will very likely be fighting considering both of them are capable of flight and do it often) but may be able to do it on the ground.

LS doesn't even matter anyways since neither of them grapple.

The problem is that Homelander would just simple downscale from his K LS in air. Also he does grapple when he try to go for the murder lasers

 

[Propellus]

And either then, what stops Tony from analyzing Homelander's antics and him proceeding to shoot him down?

Homelander’s hearing should be able to hear Iron Man charging a repulsor blast like I said before

 

[Valiant_Abyss]

Most people would be able to hear a repulsor blast. Doesn't really change much. Its not a long charge either.

 

[Propellus]

And also, given how Iron Man is resistant to heat, Homelander's HV shouldn't really do much to him.

 

[ItsOnlyDanny3]

If Homelander manages to keep Iron Man in a bear hug from the front, Iron Man could just uni beam Homelander to smithereens. It's his only stat that's (debatably) above Iron Man's, and it wouldn't help him much in this fight.

Would Homelander's lasers be able to cut through Iron Man's armour? If yes, the only way I see a wincon for Homelander is if he bearhugged Iron Man from behind and lasers him through his helmet or something. If not, Iron Man wins no-diff

I'm pretty sure Homelander's heat vision isn't hot enough to just slice through his armor

 

[SamanPatou]

Iron Man has the edge on basically everything.
More skilled, more experienced (especially against comparable opponents), more varied equipment, smarter and has higher AP and Dura.
Homelander has the LS advantage, yes, but he isn’t much of a grappler and I don't see him clutching Tony in a way he can't get free.
Also, Homelander's lasers aren't neither strong not hot enough to slice through Tony's armor cleanly.

I vote Iron Man

He has Constantly be unaffected by heat generated from his Explosions
His suit sophistication is enough

^ Cuz of this, I vote for the man on a mission in armor of high-tech ammunition! ... Tony FRA, basically.

On a side note, I want to point out that Homelander can perfeclty exert his class K strength in the air, given that his flight acts as self-leverage (as it theoretically does to all characters who can fly superhero-style).
The plane scene is a callback to this scene from Superman Returns, where he performs the physically impossible feat of holding the plan while airborne, as the laws of physics dictate that he should just pierce through the vehicle instead of countering its force.

Homelander refers to that, he can't catch the plane because without ground under his feet (and even then it would be questionable) his Class K strength would just overcome the plane's durability.

That said, my judgement doesn't change, I just wanted to address this.
