Some people I know started a debate. Who would win, Iron man or Master Chief if they ever battled each other to death.
Ok first lets look at each background and stats.
MASTER CHEIF
http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/leyk/master_chief_complete.jpg
The Master Chief is a SPARTAN-II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARTAN-II_Project) Super Soldier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersoldier), a genetically and cybernetically augmented warrior designed to put down rebels and insurgents within the United Nations Space Command (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Space_Command). When the powerful alien empire known as the Covenant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Covenant) attacked, the Master Chief and the other Spartan's had a priority shift. Extensive surgical alteration coupled with a ruthless lifelong training regimen has resulted in Master Chief being significantly stronger than even the strongest natural human, and his strength and fighting ability are further augmented by the advanced MJOLNIR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MJOLNIR_battle_armor) power armor he wears.
The Master Chief stands 7 feet tall and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds in full battle armor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_armor) (2.1 meters and 450 kilograms). He is approximately forty-one years old at the time of the events of Halo: Combat Evolved (2552). Between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, the Chief's armor is upgraded from MJOLNIR Mark V to Mark VI. Both iterations of the armor include a helmet with reflective visor so the face of the Chief is never seen: in spite he is seen removing his helmet once in each game, the camera view always conceals the Master Chief's face from the viewers. Master Chief is voiced by Steve Downes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Downes) in both Halo: Combat Evolved (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved) and Halo 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_2).
Without the suite Master Chief is Advanced carbide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbide) ceramic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic) material grafted onto bones to increase durability and strength
Protein complex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_complex) injections to increase muscle density and lower recovery time after injury
Body growth hormone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone) pellet injections to boost skeletal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton) and muscle tissue growth
Occipital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe) capillary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary) reversal to increase blood flow to the eyes, resulting in enhanced vision and perceptiveness
Superconducting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductor) neurofilament fibers added to nerve endings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_ending), resulting in 400% increase in reflexes and increases in intelligence, memory, and creativity.IRON MAN
http://oneshot.anifics.com/xmen/Ironman_mvc2.jpg
Iron Man's powers and abilities derive from the advanced powered armor that he wears. The armor has evolved from a bulky iron suit to a molecularly aligned matrix of crystallized iron enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other metals like titanium, creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of great resilience and protection. The suit grants him vast superhuman strength and flight capabilities, and is powered by a combination of solar converters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power), electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_particle) absorption as a fuel source. The suit is also able to convert nearby energy sources, such as heat or kinetic energy into electricity, or even drain electrical energy directly into the batteries for recharge. The suit can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation.
The onboard systems of the armor are controlled by Iron Man's brain patterns, read from a cybernetic interface in his helmet. Sophisticated computers with an artificially intelligent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence) operating system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system) of Stark's own design provide tactical information as well as constant feedback on the suit's status, using internal and external sensors. As noted above, Stark has tried to put safeguards in to make sure that the systems do not actually achieve sentience, although these were once circumvented.
The weapons systems of the suit have evolved over the years, but Iron Man's standard offensive weapon has always been the repulsor beams that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets. Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include the unibeam projector in its chest; pulse bolts that pick up kinetic energy along the way, so that they hit harder the further they have to travel; an electromagnetic pulse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse) generator and an energy shield. Other capabilities include generation of ultra-freon, creating and manipulating of magnetic fields, sonic blasts and a holographic generator to create decoys.
So here how it goes. Both men have a week to prepare for battle. They are going to face off in a desert......Who will win? You vote.
