 death battle as a matter of fact. This is going to be Tony Stark, the iron man, iron man, versus Lex Luthor, starting to fool via the other day. She always says iron. Today I was ironing. I'm like, no, it's not iron. It's iron, iron. So we were practicing saying iron on the phone, ironing, ironing. Anyway, go check out fool via on her Instagram, show her some love. Um, let's get this reaction in because this video is like 20-something minutes long. Let's do it now. Come on. All right, Arnold, shut the fuck up. You shut up. I'm, I don't, all right. For more details, like with an iron man, Lex Luthor, arch nemesis of Superman. He's whizzing high on boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a death battle. Prodigies. He prefers Tony. Howard and Maria Stark ruled a $9 billion military tech empire. They could have anything they ever wanted, except a child. Then Howard met an alien who decided to build a baby for them. Fearing humanity with Paris to more advanced alien races, this child was genetically engineered to lead the world to a new tech age. But that was Arnold Stark. We don't speak of him. When Howard and Maria were disappointed with what they created, they adopted Tony instead. Yep, that's the secret origin to Tony Stark. Didn't see that coming, did you? No. Gifted intelligence and world-changing destiny were obvious at an early age. He graduated from MIT with top honors and a physics and engineering double major when he was just 19 years old. But since this is a superhero origin, it wasn't long before tragedy struck. And by struck, I mean a car crash, and by tragedy, I mean his parents. So all of a sudden, Tony was an orphan, but on the bright side, it also made him the sole heir of Stark Industries. Nice. With the entire family fortune at his fingertips, Tony pursued a life of reckless indulgence and mechanical tinkering. War was his income, and he enjoyed every bit of it, until the day his eyes were open. Yeah, open with a shrapnel-filled iron bomb. Hapted by terrorists in Afghanistan, Tony learned the bomb left shrapnel in his heart, which would kill him in a week. The terrorists gave Tony an ultimatum, construct weapons for them, and receive treatments, or be left to die. But being Tony Stark, he chose door number three. He built a space-age pacemaker to save his own life, and then built a mech suit around it and murdered his way to freedom. This type of dark metal life's most important lessons, heroes aren't born for a pretty sweet tagline. Art was changed in more ways than one that day. Upon returning to America, he nullified all weapons development at Stark Industries, and dedicated his life to saving the world in his own way. Yeah, we're not talking like just donating to charity and being kind to your neighbor. Tony became a one-man army of justice, and began creating a new and improved armored suit that the public would eventually dub. I'd like you to sit a little more. The Iron Man suits are numerous, but they typically come with a common base set of tools. Generally composed of a gold titanium alloy, his standard suits have the strength to lift up to 100 times, fly at supersonic speeds, and come with an onboard intelligence system called Jarvis, which controls his weaponry and can summon other suits at his beck and call. And for good measure, these babies come loaded head to toe with weaponry. I'm talking shoulder mounted darts, anti-tank missiles, an EMB, and the Iron Man staple, laser beams. These repulsor blasts drop power directly from the reactor in Tony's chest, or chest piece, depending on the time period, to fire high mass negative charge. That animation is sucking that card too. What was that? Most commonly, these are fired from the balls of his suit, but if the situation goes for a bit more firepower, he can blast an even larger beat directly from his chest piece. Beauty! All of these features come standard in his most often used suit, Model 13, the modular armor. This armor specializes in adaptability, allowing Tony to swap out its individual pieces for one suit into the mission at hand. Oh, and it also has an extra casing known as Iron Man Armor Model 14, but you can just call it Hulk Buster. As the name implies, this armor was built to contend with one of the universe's strongest beings. With a combination of magnetic and hydraulic technology, in addition to the strength of the modular armor, the Hulk Buster can deliver far more powerful punches and hold its ground against the Incredible Hulk, who is strong enough to lift a 150 billion ton mountain. But his most advanced armor yet comes in the form of his endo sim armor. Heart metal, heart, scary space alien parasite, Tony can summon it telepathically, use it to imprison his foes, and even suck up electromagnetic fields. Electricity. They can take hits from Storm's lightning, and shoot repulsor beams so powerful they can injure metahumans who are normally able to absorb energy. Although Tony is a mere man who finds himself fighting with and against unimaginably powerful beings, he has proven time and time again that technology can compete with the world's greatest superheroes. He can survive blows from Thor's hammer, hold his own against Captain America, and move faster than an extremist-enhanced superhuman's eye can track. Not to mention his suit can actually learn and predict its opponents next move and withstand the fury of several nuclear bombs. Do not underestimate the golden inventor. Marvel's superhuman. For all their power, the Ironman suits are hardly flawless. They've been known to malfunction in life-threatening ways and consume too much power too quickly, leaving Tony helpless. Tony frequently pushes his suit and his body to their absolute limits and past them. And his reckless headfirst mentality is responsible for landing him in trouble just as much as it is for getting him out of it. This has led to him setting off a civil war between superheroes and pissing off the all-powerful Phoenix Force into killing Charles Xavier. And he once built a device capable of releasing 20,000 megatons of atomic energy. That's three times more than all of the Earth's known nuclear weapons combined. And then he just blasted it straight into the ground! All because he wanted to see what was at the Earth's core. But Tony's most diabolical nemesis isn't the Mandarin or even Ultron. It's his lifelong battle with alcoholism. Did he say something? Love that walk and the look on his face, armored face. Superman is among the most powerful characters in all of fiction. He can destroy planets, withstand supernovas, and fly faster than light itself. What kind of person could possibly be the Argentinemesis to someone like him? Forgot. You'd have to be like a god-made of magic kryptonite. Wrong! Nope. Just a mortal man with a passion for business, swindling, and green trench coats. Lex Luthor. Alexander Joseph Luthor began his rise to the top from the very bottom. As a child, he lived in a rundown section of a trouble list called the Suicide Slump. Yes, it was that bad. Under abusive parents, it was only by sheer willpower that Lex moved on to a better life. Yeah, willpower and some good old fashioned social Darwinism. His parents died in a car crash when their cars brakes failed, leaving Lex alone. Don't feel bad for a second. He used their life insurance money to get out of the ghetto and start his own company. And he's the one who wrecked their brakes. Although found it through some really questionable means, the infamous Lex Corp successfully spread its influence throughout virtually all of Metropolis. In time, Lex came to practically run the city itself. Taking ownership of nearly every media outlet, Luthor's positive public image went practically unopposed. But everything changed when the man of tomorrow showed up. In Lex's eyes, Superman was a massive issue for mankind. If humans no longer had to solve problems themselves, they would surely become a weaker race, completely dependent upon this otherworldly savior. So, Lex began his crusade to remove him from the equation, and then properly insert himself as the ruler of humanity. Lex is a cunning strategist and mechanical genius who prefers to place his opponents in unwinnable situations. However, if physical strength is required, he dawns the mighty war suit. Must I remind you of my superiority? The war suit is a powerful battle armor created by Superman's other arch nemesis, the alien god known as Darksign, and it's been further enhanced by Luthor's own designs. Forged in the fiery pits of apocalypse, Lex's war suit is no ordinary piece of machinery, despite its less than sleek appearance. It comes equipped with force fields, gauntlet blades, a giant Kryptonite axe, and energy blasts powered by Kryptonite generators. It can also fly and has enough strength and durability to go up against Superman himself. Despite how capable the war suit is, you may feel it has an obvious weak spot. A giant hole where his head is, but all cue balls chrome dope is actually protected by an invisible force field. He just wants his opponents to know exactly who's beating the shit out of him. Never more sunshine. Lex's weaponry goes beyond an alien metal suit. In addition to his brilliant strategic mind, he has also surrounded the earth with dozens of satellites bearing his name. Their purpose? A gigantic game of space laser hot potatoes. Being a genius multibillionaire, it's no surprise that Lex's accomplishments match the expectations. He's equal to Deathstroke in combat, Stabbed Supergirl, snapped Brainiac's neck, and defeated Powergirl in a single stroke. You can't blame him. I mean, I don't think anyone could handle more than a single stroke with Powergirl. However, Lex is not fully dependent on his war suit. He sometimes subjects himself to a kryptonite steroid which has made him much stronger than an ordinary human. Capable of surviving wounds, nobody reasonably should. Yeah, like the time when a giant gorilla shot him in the chest with a sniper rifle, knocking him out of a helicopter on the edge of a cliff and landing headfirst in a canyon. He was up and banging his robot chicken like a pig. Oh yeah, he built a robot version of Lois Lane for, you know, sex and murder. Because Lex always wants what he cannot have. And his know-how with robotics goes past insane and into absurd. That was when he stopped following the comics. He built a talking flying robot that reads Moby Dick at such a high frequency it carved out an escape route through the floor itself, including perfectly shaped stairs. But most diabolical of all, when no one was looking Lex Luthor took 40 cakes. He took 40 cakes with this as many as four tens. And that's terrible. Strange thing is, that's actually officially canon. Faster. Luthor's hatred of Superman and drive to win are stronger than any machine he could create. Dick, for example, the time Superman threw a satellite at Lex' gorp tower, bringing the building down on top of poor old Lex. This left the guy with half his face ripped off all four limbs, left in a way, and he was impaled in five different places. Even like that, he still refused Superman's help. Whereas if that ever happens to me, do me a solid and kill yourself in front of me so my dream about living you is complete. Never gonna happen, but it's also that same cocky independence that serves as Lex's greatest downfall. Oh shit. When he merged with the zone child. Wow. That's not what you think. He gained, and I quote, infinite power. And a secure spot on somebody's watch list. The only catch was he could not use his power to harm others. But because all he wanted to do was kill Superman, he tried it anyway. So Superman just straight up punched the god out of him. Well, that's hardly accurate. Come on, how else would you describe that? Fair enough. Even so, when the earth is threatened, you can count on Lex Luthor to look his enemies in the eye and fight for his people. And then exploit that hell out of him afterwards. You know what happens when you take on Lex Luthor? All right, the command is all set. Let's end this debate once and for all. But first, we don't want you to have horrible, earth-shattering regret by missing the best part in gaming. So we're gonna tell you about it. SGC, the greatest part in gaming, is back to rock the Southwest for its fifth year. We're gonna be showing an all-new, highly requested episode live. And that's just scratching the surface of what SGC has to offer. So don't miss out on the fun and excitement. Head over to SGconvention.com. Use the link in the description and reorder your ticket now. But first, it's time for a death battle. Let's get it. Let me know if you all prefer me to do the whole death battle or not. I didn't used to do the whole death battle. I always started it at the fight. Well, let me know. He's taking off, ain't he? Not working, darling. All this time, I was through. Rocking right out of there. Yes, the war suit could take hits from Superman, making it more than a match for even the host Buster's power. But even against the very enemy it was designed to kill, the war suit only lasts so long. Iron Man's greatest advantage was being able to adapt his strategy by remotely summoning and changing suits. The endosyn in particular could counter nearly anything Lex could throw at. Plus, Iron Man has far more actual combat experience. Lex treated physical combat as a last resort beneath it, while Tony straight up enjoys it. Lex just wasn't suited for this battle. The winner is Iron Man. Iron Man. Next. Next time, I want to know what you think. Should Lex have won? Or should Iron Man have won? Is that correct? Post your comments down below. Let me know what you thought.
