In the movie version, who is stronger or weaker, Captain America or Iron Man?
In the MCU Infinite Legend stage, Captain America should be regarded as one of the earliest superheroes. At the end of World War II, by chance, after being strengthened by the serum of the "Super Soldier Project" , and this was the birth of the first superhero in the history of the Marvel Universe.
It was Captain America’s deeds that provided the direction for subsequent enhancement experiments. For example, Hulk’s biological genetic enhancement experiment was actually inspired by Captain America’s super soldier serum. It's just that on this basis, the research direction is different. Comparison of hard core strength
Based on the origin of Captain America, it is not difficult for us to define the strength level of Captain America. He is the product of serum enhancement and is the most typical one in the Marvel universe. 'Enhanced' superheroes, and as an enhanced character, Captain America can be said to be the most successful example. The serum not only strengthens all the body functions of Captain America in all aspects, whether it is strength, speed, or endurance, it is covered in all directions without exception. The overall strength is extremely balanced, and even the body has been reshaped. It is extremely perfect, and the strengthening of the serum has not brought any side effects to Captain America.
Iron Man is different. Tony Stark was originally an ordinary human being. He was physically ordinary and did not have any superpowers. Due to long-term squandering, he was even worse than an ordinary person. . But Tony is very rich, as rich as the rest of the world, and has extremely high scientific talent, as if he has been cursed by knowledge.
The birth of the Mark Armor established the identity of Iron Man as a superhero. The Mark Armor has gone through more than 50 generations of upgrades in the movie version. In "Captain America: Civil War", Iron Man's body The Mark 46 "Blood Edge Armor" has very high maneuverability, defense and attack capabilities, especially laser weapons. Although it cannot break through the vibranium shield that defends the US team, it can seriously damage the US team's body. , still very relaxed.
So, from a comparison of hard core strength alone, Iron Man has the ability to defeat Captain America head-on! Differences in soft-core conditions
As for soft-core capabilities, Captain America’s classic quote: “I can spend the whole day with you!” has already explained everything, although the American team is not good at combat strategy. Skilled, but unmatched in terms of perseverance. In "Avengers 4: Endgame", the momentum and courage of one person to block Thanos' thousands of troops are really admirable!
This is also vividly demonstrated in "Avengers 4" when the three giants of the Avengers besieged Thanos. The American team was always able to harass Thanos and make him suffer during the breaks in the battle. Unspeakable. Tony, on the other hand, takes a completely different approach. He has the advantage of knowledge reserve. He is more responsible for the technical level in battle, such as the formulation of tactics and strategies, and the analysis of the opponent's weaknesses, or It is the determination of feasibility, etc. It is precisely because of this that Tony has a higher status in the Avengers.
It is similar to a military advisor. In "Captain America 3", Tony may be far inferior to Captain America in terms of close combat, but Tony is good at analysis. With the help of artificial intelligence, he quickly mastered Captain America's fighting habits and quickly cracked them using technological means. Come up with coping methods. I think if Tony can be ruthless and seize that moment, I think it is very possible to severely damage the US team. Therefore, in terms of soft core capabilities, Captain America and Iron Man each have their own merits. One never gives up and the other is flexible, which should be regarded as partially superior or inferior. Iron Man's hidden thoughts
However, the reason why Iron Man lost to Captain America in "Captain America 3" was not due to inferiority in strength, but more to a difference in mentality. . Captain America had already understood the grudge between Winter Soldier Bucky and Tony before their battle, and had already made a choice in his heart.
But Tony is completely different. Originally, he had full confidence in Captain America, and he even put aside his previous persistence and came to help Captain America alone. However, Captain America betrayed Tony's trust. Helped Bucky conceal the murder of his father and mother.
After learning this fact, Tony instantly felt betrayed, abandoned, and let down. I think this kind of choice is also very difficult for anyone to accept, no matter how strong their heart is.
Even so, Iron Man did not spread his anger to Captain America. When he lost control of his emotions, even though Tony was blocked and interfered by Captain America in various ways, he did not carry out any substantive attack. It fell on Captain America. On the contrary, before the final battle, Captain America destroyed several main modules of Tony's suit.
So, in my opinion, Iron Man's loss to the American team was completely a "playful play"! After venting his dissatisfaction in the battle, seeing Captain America resolutely persisting, he was very sad and helpless and let them go!
