For whatever this is worth, a few years ago Tony was enlisting Bruce Banner's help to try and build a nuke proof armor, and I don't remember if actually succeeded. I recall the armor being compromised but don't recall if that was from the nuke or a Hulk beating.
I'm looking for it. In the meantime, here he is doing it again. (That blast slagged a stockpile of vibranium, by the way.) And here he is blocking the explosion from a detonated nuclear plant in New Avengers: Illuminati. At 2% power. His shields have also contained Apocalypse. They've stood up to a pissed-off Dark Sentry, but I think he had some help from Sue Storm on that one.
He loses to all and sundry in question sans things like massive opportunities to take advantage of (and even there, with the Hulk for instance, he had to kamikaze himself), I'm not seeing that justifying "completely ignore nuke".
So.. a "nuke" so powerful it left a construction crane and a bunch of other such equipment completely intact, right from your own scan. "Apocalypse" is from an incident involving alt time shenanigans and an issue where a lot of people performed, let's say, interesting, as far as any validity, and no, the "fear itself" thing, that's from New Avengers: Illuminati the Secret Invasion issue, and he is not blocking that explosion, he is /causing/ that explosion, by linking himself to, draining and powering himself up from various nuke plants. The 2 percent thing is his defenses buckling under the assault from that Skrull while he links himself up. The ensuing explosion by the way, not a nuke.
The bit with the Sentry involved a pre crap out Doctor Strange, and the Invisible Woman working together with him, and the Sentry was still tearing chunks out of it.
So let me rephrase, do you have anything that isn't from out of context respect threads?

That's one tough-ass crane. Didn't even notice it until now. I'd say the devastation and scrapped vibranium trump that little detail, though.
I thought that looked iffy based on the art; figured if it was, someone would point it out. There we go then."Apocalypse" is from an incident involving alt time shenanigans and an issue where a lot of people performed, let's say, interesting, as far as any validity
I know he caused it. The relevant part is, he survived being caught in the middle of it.and he is not blocking that explosion, he is /causing/ that explosion, by linking himself to, draining and powering himself up from various nuke plants.
Still pretty damn big though.The ensuing explosion by the way, not a nuke.

There are multiple construction implements still in various standing, and they're in the Savage Land from what comic that looks like, that's Antarctic vibranium then, the anti metal stuff. The devastation besides frankly does not look that widespread unless you have some other scan showing some massive wide scale of devastation onto a range of citylike heft.That's one tough-ass crane. Didn't even notice it until now. I'd say the devastation and scrapped vibranium trump that little detail, though.
Alternatively, issue number for that one as well?
Things Tony Stark does while powered up from multiple nuclear plants do not reflect things Tony Stark is capable of while not powered up from multiple nuclear plants. And once again, said explosion, well less than a nuke, or you'd think teleporting what was ultimately a short distance away would not have covered, say, Professor Xavier.I know he caused it. The relevant part is, he survived being caught in the middle of it.
It is completely meaningless, from Stark being powered up, to being nothing on the scale of a nuke, to claiming it supports Iron Man laughing off being nuked.Still pretty damn big though.
Random internet images, whatever their source, exist free of context.

Tony's shields are capable of some truly amazing shit when he's got an external power-up. See Mighty Avengers - Doom blows a really massive explosion, far beyond nuke (from what is said), and Tony blocks it by having Sentry hit him with his power of "a million exploding suns".
But that's Tony amped, not default.
Not to mention all those feat's are not auto shields but him having time to think and raise extra shields something he's not going to be able to do while being blitzed.
So just to be clear here, exactly how durable then is Ironman, sans any prep time or time to raise any shields? Who is the strongest person the guy could just straight up ignore an attack from?
