MCU Tag Team Battles: Iron Man & Captain America Vs. Giant-Man & Drax

[BigThor]

This a fun tag team styled MCU battle thread to break up the monotony of our once a week MCU Fights. It can be 2 on 2, 2 on 2 on 1, 3 on 2, or even 3 on 1. Keep in mind this is purely for just fun and doesn't in any way effect our Power Tier.

Iron Man & Captain America

Vs

Giant Man & Drax

So let's get this started shall we....

 

[Kuwolski]

Hulk and Drax or Giant Man and Drax?

 

[BigThor]

Hulk and Drax or Giant Man and Drax?

Giant Man...Hulk was a typo I changed my mind but forgot to change the title.

 

[Kuwolski]

MCU Cap is a superior tactician and smarter in general, which would help him out vs Drax in the short term, but in the end Drax is simply too powerful.

Iron Man needed help in CW to handle Giant Man (who took him by surprise). Obviously in a super powered battle the story will dictate match-ups to a degree, but I definitely think that if Tony needed to handle him alone he'd develop the suit required. That's speculation though, however obvious it seems.

I'll give this to Drax and Giant Man.

I agree, but I bet the general consensus is gonna be Cap could beat him watch.

Well Iron Man did get a nice power boost with his new "Bleeding Edge" armor in Infinity War.

 

[Kuwolski]

True.

The evidence is there he could take him out, his mind is his greatest weapon. The Giant Man battle is already outdated in that respect. Just leaning towards what we've seen.

Yeah definitely, but even with the Bleeding Edge armor I'm not sure if he has anything that can actually put Giant Man down though.

It's a close one to call in my opinion.

Edit: Lol I just noticed Iron Man is shooting Giant Man in the a** in that scene in the gif.

 

[Batmannerism]

Cap and Tony take this easily vs Drax and Giant Man.. Hulk and Drax might be a different story

First, Cap and Tony are going to work better together as a team. Drax just goes for it, which is why he looks ridiculous so often.

Given what we've seen of Drax Cap can easily keep him busy while Tony takes out Scott. Or, Cap distracts Giant Man ( btw in Ultimate Avengers Cap took out Giant Man after a certain domestic violence incident)

Scott would be better to attack using small size changes vs Cap, I suspect that Tony's Nano tech would resist the trick he pulled in CW.

Tony easily has the power to take out Drax ( remember the "I can takeit !" "No you can't!" bit when Spidey and Tony first meey GOTG), he made Thanos bleed, nuff said. Add Tony's huge mobility advantage and Drax is done.

Once Drax is down Tony and Cap would disable Scott pretty quickly. Scott is reliant on suit. If Tony or Cap take out its controls, he's done.

Now Cap and Tony vs Ant Man and the Wasp.....I suspect a different story. In fact I suspect that they'll be one of the top tag teams.

 

[jolldan]

Got to go for Cap & Tony.

One on One's:

In terms of strength feats I wouldn't be surprised if Cap has better ones than Drax just because of how powerful they have made MCU Cap. And while Drax always looks physically imposing he never looks like a highly trained expert in combat. Cap Wins

Tony is simply a better tactician and all round more experienced hero than Scott. You could argue Scott has the superior suit in terms of scientific prowess but without Hawkeye's arrow he has no way to get to Tony's suits internals. And I got to think those duel one use lasers he has cuts Giant Man in half. Tony Wins

Teamwork:

Cap & Tony have years of experience fighting together and even though there not on the best of terms just now they could easily work together.

Drax & Scott have never met. Drax is known for being careless/reckless and Scott is a largely a loner, he might have a team providing tech-support but little other than that. Cap & Tony Win

 

[BigThor]

Cap is much much much much MUCH more skilled, more agile, and more tactical than Drax. Also I know MCU Drax is VASTLY inferior to his comic counter part but he's survived spaceships crashing into him and atmospheric re-entry. I really don't think Cap can put him down, the durability differential is very wide and through scaling Drax is stronger as he overpowered Gamora who is stronger than Cap.

Survives a spaceship crashing into him and din't have a scratch on him afterwards

He straight up laughed this off and said "Do it again!" and this was AFTER he survived atmospheric re-entry.
(this is also strength feat for Gamora)

 

[Spider-Fan]

Gamora really doesn't look like she is trying to stop Drax in that scene. She just stands there as he does it.

 

[BigThor]

Gamora really doesn't look like she is trying to stop Drax in that scene. She just stands there as he does it.

It goes further, he applies more pressure and she starts gasping for air and actually tries to remove his hands at 0:07 seconds.

[YT]KiAFwV2emZQ[/YT]

It's irrelevant though, because at the end of the day Drax is too durable for Cap to put down. It would ultimately be like Hela vs Thor in Ragnarok, a valiant effort but ultimately your opponent is just too durable. Did you see the gifs I posted of a high speed spaceship crashing into Drax or him being slammed through entire trees at hundreds of MPH?

 

[Chance Jackson]

Ironman can solo

 

[BigThor]

Ironman can solo

If his fight with Cull Obsidian is anything to go by then no.

I think that's his biggest problem in terms of the MCU. He probably has some of the best durability feats in the MCU but they've never really let him go full destroyer so he doesn't have the strength/combat feats to match it.

In terms of blunt force he looks more durable than a tank but I seem to re-call Groot puncturing his lung with a finger. (Now I know Groot is going to be stronger that your average Joe) but got to think if Groot can do that he could be vulnerable to piercing weapons like Cap's new shields.

Yeah I find it pretty odd that they show him as such a tank durability wise but fail to give him matching strength feats.

Does Cap's new shield weapons have any piercing feats though? They should be able to pierce Drax since Groot's branch did, although Groot has impaled several armored soldiers at once so he's no slouch.

Had to go find a gif lol, think you could argue that would be sharp enough especially when you remember its vibranium.


I think Ant Man will be the weak link in this one. As Giant Man he was a massive obstacle in the airport battle but it never felt like anyone was trying to kill him. Im not buying that Lang wouldn't be dead with a giant sized whole in his chest if Tony fired that anti-tank round at him.

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&s...aw1UV3BHbfqMq-TCyPDDU9ik&ust=1528209130972688

Can't see him getting to really use his Ant Man edge when he has no outside help to get him on to Tony's suit. (Anthony isn't going supersonic to catch him lol)

I said "they should be able to pierce Drax" in the exact post you quoted.

Drax and Cap are the weak links, Cap would be fodder to Giant Man and yeah that IM missile is tough but idk if it would kill him.

Giant Man can withstand War Machine explosives without flinching at 1:12 and 1:29 secs, yes Iron Man's missle is more powerful but still.

I know you probably have a lot of match-ups in cued up

But you ever thought about

Coulson
vs.
Winter Solider
vs.
Misty Knight
vs.
Nebula

You can call it THE BATTLE OF THE BIONIC ARMS!!! lol

I haven't seen MCU Misty Knight in action but this sounds awesome.

 

[DrCosmic]

I'll admit, when I saw Drax's name I was like "Oh, no, he's trash." But the fact is his stats are up there, which just makes how he's used all the more frustrating. It's not *that* funny Gunn. Please, subvert the subversion at some point.


In light of that, it's hard to see how the Avengers can take this. Cap is basically just trying to keep everyone busy while Tony does... something. I really don't see how someone with BP or Cap's status would be just so helpless against Giant Man. Yeah you can't take him down, but that increased agility versus his decreased agility means you're really only getting hit when you want to...


But even still, the lack of offensive power and the durability the opponents leave everything on Iron Man's nanotech. Everything.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Tony can take them both out by himself, at the same time.

 

[Thör-El]

I don't think I'd go as far as calling him a weak link but yeah, I agree Tony has the firepower to take him out if he gets serious and he's unskilled enough that Cap could probably distract him if Tony decides to deal with Drax first.

Cap's the weakest character here but he's fast/skilled enough to distract either Drax or Scott long enough for Tony to take out the other.

I'm going to pretend this is bleeding edge/infinity war armor Iron Man with the nano-tech. (because of the GIF provided)

And Giant Man from Civil War (not the 68 ft one mentioned in the A+W). But I think it's unfair to say "Giant Man" and not just Lang in Pym's suit. If he can grow and shrink he is a much more capable adversary.

So I would say Cap is similarly matched against Drax. I think (Gi)Ant man is similarly matched against Iron Man but eventually loses as he is less intelligent and less resourceful.

Iron Man can take Drax too imo. Cap can't take Giant Man alone, but can at least keep him occupied while Iron Man takes on Drax.

I say Iron Man and Cap.

I cam definitely see this happening, very logical way of looking at it.
