Sinestro vs Iron Man

[ColonelGM]

New 52 Thaal vs Extremis Armour Tony.

No BFR and No Prep.

I love Tony and all, but he ain't got nothin' that's getting through Lantern auto-shields.

Whereas Sinestro can hurt Tony.

I'm with ya. Extremis Tony probably gets the first few shots off, which Sinestro's shield tanks and the return volley will be far more then Tony can Handle.

Yet another stomp.

Iron Man has zero business sticking his nose into fights with the big boys. Not without insane prep, preferably not involving something with the suffix -buster.

The SinestroBuster Armor will be the one that works!

*facepalm* Oh, Tony....

I love that movie Tony has only ever had one *sumfink*buster suit, and yet he already has one more success than comics Tony.

To be fair, he had Banner help him build that.

[Captain Morgan]

I'm mildly surprised the support is so universal given how little has come forward for Nu 52 Lantern feats. That said, Sinestro has some of the best, so I agree he stomps.

Whether he should or shouldn't be, Iron Man has fought beings of Sinestro's weight class before without prep though. He's got a history.

[StupidMoniker]

A lot of stuff happens in comics that doesn't fly on rumbles. Absent prep, Tony is not getting through Sinestro's shields, so he is not beating him.

He's got a history of getting mauled by Hulk and wrecked by Thor. Even setting aside the hilarious failure of his buster armors the guy doesn't have a great track record with the heavy hitters. I'm sure he's got a couple of anomalies out there, but he's pretty consistently been the guy who can figth the class 100s, and get wrecked for his troubles.

While I wouldn't necessarily dispute that Sinestro's shields could withstand Extremis Iron Man's conventional weaponry and strength, I'm speaking more about his knack for dealing with powerful energy-wielders by harnessing/throwing their power back at them. He's made a career of it.

To be fair, a lot of characters have a history of getting mauled by Hulk and Thor. I think crediting Tony's history with energy wielders doesn't leave this as completely lopsided as is being suggested here.

Honestly, I just don't see the figth last long enough for him to even analyze the energy coming out of the power ring. Sinestro is ruthless and efficient and would just peel him him.

Plus, unlike a normal Lantern, if Tony managed to drain the ring, Sinestro can just let Parralax off the leash, and that's it for Tony.

While I don't disagree with you, I'm not suggesting that Tony analyzes Sinestro's energy and tries to manipulate it. I'm suggesting he just straight up absorbs it and amps his armor or throws it back at him.

Also IIRC, Sinestro released Parallax and bound it to Korugar. Obviously, this wouldn't be a contest if he still retained Parallax within him.
