[QUOTE=The Arbiter;4093957]....a guy who makes Thanos bleed....[/QUOTE]
I found that part rather chilling, actually, as it made a rather important point. Tony went absolutely gang-busters against Thanos, pulled out all of the stops, used everything he had, had the upper hand due to keeping Thanos off-balance the whole time, pulled some pretty spectacular moves out of his bag of tricks with the nano-machines....
[Thanos] *checks tiny scratch on his cheek* All that for a drop of blood.
I felt that and the Hulk beatdown were the two times in the movie that it really managed to capture just how overpowering Thanos is compared to the heroes.

[QUOTE=The Arbiter;4113781]In what possible way do you feel Black Manta has better tech than a guy who built a new stable element, advanced AI, nanotech morph suits, modular repair systems capable of fighting Hulk, modified Visions programming, built super armor (including an arc reactor that a team of scientists thought couldnt be reduced in size) out of missile parts in a cave etc etc etc?[/QUOTE]

Undoubtedly.
It ALSO shows just how far Tony has come since his early stuff when he goes all out. Hulk, with a sneak attack and basically free shots for the first moment of their fight did something between jack and squat to Thanos, before Thanos literally knocked the Hulk out of the [I]movie[/I]. Tony clearly managed to hurt the guy a tiny bit. No, Tony was NEVER going to "win" that fight, but it was impressive as hell.

I just saw "Aquaman" and can safely say there was nothing Black Mantis did in that movie that MCU Iron-Man cannot do and do better.

[QUOTE=Oswin;4121288]It felt to me the beam was a lot weaker then the big gun. did he screw it up a bit when modifying it into his helmet?[/QUOTE]
Possibly, although the fact that he managed to disassemble it, then reassemble it in a completely different form and it still worked at all shows he's a pretty smart guy. Plus it could still melt steel and burn Aquaman so it's still a dangerous weapon. When he next shows up perhaps he'll have got it back to its original power level.
[QUOTE=Oswin;4121288]The dagger his father gave him was planted in the open wound aquaman already had, so i do not think it could stab him under normal circumstances.[/QUOTE]
I stand corrected.

You could put comic Manta against MCU IM and Tony still wins.
