Right now, it only lists Model 8, 45, and Prime. And while I'm not contesting the High 6-A scaling for Model 8 or 45, he has a bunch of other armors before Prime that should scale above that. Extremis, Bleeding Edge, and Endo-Sym just to name a few.
Extremis:
Bleeding Edge:
Here is a respect thread that lists all of his best feats, of which several are easily Planetary.
In general, that entire Respect Thread I linked has a ton of feats that should scale him to 5-A. It just seems weird to have the Model 45 be the only modern armor, aside from Model Prime, mentioned on his profile. It makes it seem that Iron Man is weaker than he actually is. There are way too many feats that support him being 5-A for it to considered outliers. I think his key should be revised to "Pre-Extremis | Extremis | Model 45 | Bleeding Edge | Endo-Sym | Model Prime | Current". To be honest, I haven't read any recent Iron Man or Avengers comics so I don't know what he scales to, but anything before that should be easily 5-A. Even if you want to lowball these suits (Maybe I am biased a little because Iron Man is one of my favorite characters), he should at a bare minimum downscale to 5-B. In conclusion, comics Iron Man is in desperate need of a promotion to Planetary outside of Model Prime..
Extremis:
- Was able to draw blood from Sentry, who is 4-B. While this obviously isn't a 4-B level feat, it should at least be above High 6
- He also has tanked several hits from The Sentry. And going by the logic of most other 4-B characters (Thor, Silver Surfer, ect.) being 5-A when holding back on Earth, I feel like Extremis should scale to 5-A as well.
- Another 5-A scaling for Extremis would be him easily defeating a drone which was beating Namor
- One shot Crimson Dynamo, which should support him being higher than High 6-A
- Nearly kills Gravition with his unibeam (Another 5-A character)
Bleeding Edge:
- Beats Magneto (5-B)
- Easily fought Red Hulk (5-A, up to 4-B)
- Fought Taurus who defeated Thor
- Survived Odin's Forge
- One shot Ulik
- Survives Gladiator's heat vision
- Even more feats I don't care to list
