Really? Extremis insanity makes you smarter?

Made Tony smarter. At least twice as much as he was previously.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But insanity tends to dumb people down. A lot. 'Cause they're crazy.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

It makes Tony paranoid. Paranoid Tony builds bigger more powerful machines. *Rabies foam.*

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ok, paranoid makes more sense than crazy.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Oh, I thought you were actually using those interchangably. Sorry, my mistake. x.x

Yeah, the Extremis is suppossed to heighten one's paranoia. And since it's doubled or more Tony's capacity to think and create (I.E. Argonaut), I wouldn't actually say that would work in Cap's favor.

 

[Vartha]

Did you seriously just say "IF" I read "The Reigning"?

Anyway, that fight was pure crap from start to finish. It made no sense whatsoever. I think Jurgens and Eaton were pressed for time and just slapped it together in a hurry. At least, that's what I choose to believe, since the alternative is that they just suck at fight scenes.

Also, if you'll recall the earlier "Standoff" arc, Thor tossed Cap aside like an ugly toddler. Cap might manage to stay on his feet for a little while against Iron Man, but the fight would ultimately go to Iron Man 9 times out of 10, in my opinion.

I would have to agree Corp, it's just the fact that Cap would not be easy to beat.
IM isn't as quick as Cap either, armor has it's advanges and disadvantages. I never did think IM was supposed to be very quick, and since Cap basically has been around Tony for a while, practicing with IM, and been in battle with IM, both should know each others weaknesses, should prove to be an interesting fight.

Thor showing up and kicking the snot out of Tony...god please let it happen.

Thor showing up and kicking the snot out of Tony...god please let it happen.

AND SENTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Xofenroht]

Thor should show up with Hulk as the new hound of Asgard...

 

[Vanguard07]

Captain America has an uncanny ability to survive against foes significantly more powerful than him and he usually spends that time looking for a plot device.
There's a big difference between being saving yourself from being instantly killed and being able to beat the guy that your up against.

I'm not saying Cap couldnt win in the comics. That's just a matter of what plot device the writers can come up with.
In terms of their respective skills and abilities though Cap is nowhere near Iron Man's league.

Tony's speed has picked up considerably since the Extremis.

 

[Vanguard07]

everything about tony has picked up considerably since extremis.

Well... except maybe his sanity... or morals... or hygene.

He's probably cleaner than ever. And his morals have never really been...top notch so to speak. Though I'll agree they've gone downhill. And he's still super smart, he's just getting a little bit more paranoid. He hasn't done anything that I wouldizzle consider losing his sanity.

 

[Tropico]

Yeah, because having an outburst against a superpowered shrink and almost showing a God complex is totally rational.up:

He's always like that. So he's not becoming crazy. He already isizzle crazy.

 

[Tropico]

He's got technoAIDS and it's driving him cucoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Wouldn't that driveizzle you cucoo for a functioning technoautoimmune system? Or at least McAffee Virus Protection?

 

[GNR]

Tony was already a genius.It doesn't make him smarter.

Extremis allows him to plug into any computer or database in the world from anywhere.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Actually he IS smarter. Read back on that issue where he was stomping the Crimson Dynamo.
