Iron Man (MCU) Mark 46 Armour separate key

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Many people of this site say the Mark 46 Armour was weaker than the previous ones. I totally agree with them. Therefore, shouldn't we make a separate key called "Mark 46" and the tier to be 9-A for briefly overpowering Winter Soldier and Captain America?

Anyone?

With what it's shown, I agree, but higher with missiles since it did ruin those small planes.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Room Level, higher with missiles IMO

BUMP

 

[Asyulus]

That would be fine, but we have 5 keys for his profile already. I guess that's too much.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Hmn...

It seems like too much speculation. Technically it does not make any sense for a later armor model to be so much weaker. The fight with Captain America should probably be interpreted as pure Plot-Induced Stupidity instead.

 

[Asyulus]

Problem is his armor received contusions after getting piled and hit by several cars. An arrow of Hawkeye even pierced his armor. That's Tier 9 for sure.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Not to mention Hawkeye's arrows were weaker in CW. And by Antvasima's logic, Mark 5 shouldn't be weaker than Mark 4 as well.

We also cant assume that all armors are either upgraded or equals to its predecessors, especially when this armor's performance explicitly shows that it's weaker. Remember IM3, the yellow armor that got totalled by a truck? Yeah, I'm not buying it being anywhere close to the armor that Thor fought.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it looks stupid for casual visitors to see a later model of armor be listed as thousands of times weaker. It is probably best to ignore the incident as pure plot convenience, similarly to how Batman could survive against Superman and Doomsday in their fight movie.

It's complete PIS. That's it. All of Tony's armors are better than predecessors, which is why he is always making new armors.

Iron Man getting hurt by cars is a complete idiocy that is there to provide gag humor. Even Tony's original gray armor made from scraps in the middle of the desert is completely bulletproof, unaffected by flamethrowers and survives both a large explosion and a high-speed crash after flying.

For Tony's legit armors made with quality material and the best tech, and powered by much more potent reactors SHOULD NOT be wall level. We don't need to try to justify every single disparate feat to try and fit everything.

They are low-end outliers both done in Comedy scenes. Not legitimate.

 

[Antvasima]

I strongly agree with Matthew.

The armor can tank a very large explosion, but at the same time, it was destroyed by crash landing into sand.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

The logical explanation is that it was damaged by the blast. Even so, that explosion has a wield far above car crashes, and Tony's armor was still mostly intact afterwards. Only damaged the outer layer and made it fall apart after another crash, which makes sense as it was a very poorly put together suit.

 

[Antvasima]

Given that we are not going to give any late model Iron Man armor 9-B statistics, it might be a good idea to close this thread.

 

[Gemmysaur]

Very well.
