Could Captain America beat Iron Man in a fair fight? (MCU)

Eh, that was 2v1 for a good chunk of the fight, was in an enclosed space (which helps Cap a ton) and with Tony in a really bad mental space. Plus he wasn't even trying to fight Steve anyway, he wanted Bucky.
I think the Iron Man suit might have even been damaged as well, but am not 100% on that.
I was mainly spoofing how Tony has contingencies for everything but not that.
The best part of the fight is when Cap yanks him out of the air. I love how much weight there is to Cap's fighting style.
I was going to ask what would Cap do if Tony fought remotely but I remember Pepper Potts broke a set of armor herself. Furthermore, the power of her love convinced Tony to self-destruct two dozen armors.
Cap and Thanos only disabled one. Hulk broke the Hulkbuster. Pepper OP confirmed.
Wasn't that in Iron Man 3, where all his suits were fragile?
And stark wasn't trying to kill him why cap was doing his best to save bucky.
This is a ridiculous question. We were entertaining pre Ragnarok Thor vs Iron Man. Did anyone think Cap beating Thor was a possibility?
There is really no question.
Civil War has a lot of caveats to make sure the fight can happen, but IW seals the deal. Tony brushes off things that would kill Steve ten times over. He lifts and throws a piece of spaceship that probably weights hundreds of tons at Thanos.
MCU Iron Man is just a step behind the Thor/Hulk/Cap Marv class of power. Heck, I could see them giving him one final suit that makes him a top dog.

In Civil War the only reason Steve won the fight was because Bucky grabbed Tony's leg which distracted him and Steve picked him up and threw him down before smashing his mask then his reactor with his shield. Not saying Steve couldn't have won the fight (unlikely given how things were going) but that's how the particular fight was finished.
There is no way Steve could beat Bleeding Edge armour Tony. That armour is probably capable of going toe-to-toe with Hulk and it has several gadgets which could probably incapacitate Steve within seconds.

His buffness comes only from the super soldier serum. Before that, he would fly away if you sneeze at him.
watch from 5:45
at 6:15, Tony literally beat the fuck out of Cap and Bucky 2 on 1 and the fight is over and tells cap to stay down final warning. he could've ended him right there but doesn't and gives caps bum ass a chance to come to his senses because Tony's a good person, and then bucky takes a cheap shot.
AND he had a damaged armor in that fight, where the foot jets were broken so he count fly in that slam scene. not the nano tech one that fought thanos, while cap got one punched by the same guy
Ironman, without even breaking a sweat
Iron Man's first suit was bulletproof, and that was the weakest version. Guns aren't going to do anything.
I mean ranged weaponry in general. Surely there's something suitably advanced that can put a dent in Iron Man's armor.
I'm a Captain America mark and think Cap has a shot against Stark but no. It's cannon that if Cap loses the Super Soldier serum his body reverts back into its scrawny form before the serum.
Come on, it's easily Iron Man. Even without his borderline magic nanotech suit Stark beat the crap out of both Cap and Bucky in Civil War.
Steve without his powers is fucked.
Pre-Serum he was like 4ft nothing, gets shooed away by random bullies.
Tony is a man of good health who works out regularly....It would legit be like a grown man fighting a child.
Go rewatch the movie.
Hell just look up the final fights on youtube.
Ironman won then turned his back.
IF this is a fight where only incap or death is the end result, Ironman in suit even the briefcase suit wrecks Serum Captain America.
Bleeding Edge Ironman doesnt even break a sweat.
If we remove powers.....its Tony by a Landslide.
no way tony doesnt win how if both sides are healthy and full strength
tony can shred tanks easy with lasers and tank missles, he can also summon hundreds of armours to battle
also especially infinity war tony, he is a tier above and a proper powerhouse, he ends cap

Iron Man's current suit made Thanos bleed. Quinjet's are nothing to him.
Remember that time that Thanos literally threw a goddamn moon at Tony and Tony was like "lol ok bitch."
But yeah, Steve throwing a shield at him is gonna do the trick.

Captain is my man, but lol come on it's not even close.
Captain beats him in Civil War just thanks to Bucky, because Iron Man doesn't want to fight Cap, and because at this moment Tony is pretty fucked up in his head, he just learned that Bucky killed his parents. (Also, close range combat in a restricted space. As seen in Infinity War, Iron Man is at full power when he can freely move in large spaces)
And from Infinity War, he has some nano tech shit that is capable of easily beat the crap out of some of the most dangerous aliens there is. He even has a fair fight against Thanos who already has 4 infinity stones lol

Tony is basically a gunship (even without his Nano juice). If Tony really wanted and was cool headed, he would gain distance and then bombard Cap with mid/long range weaponary. Cap can't breath when fire is all around him.
Going CQC gives Cap a chance. Like seen in Civil War but come on.

CAP. cause cap's power level is really inconsistent. he goes from slightly super human, to potentially duking it out with hulk.
Plus CAPS shield is one of the strongest plot armor devices there is, doesnt matter the tech getting thrown at it, the shield will survive and then tony will take a freight train hit at 60+ miles and hour

It's Iron Man. Cap would need some help or a lot of luck to take down Iron Man. It's not even fair really.
LoooooooolVirgin Steve:
Chad Tony:
Trying not to lose it in the office.
Iron man wins.
Iron Man didn't lift and throw anything, more like "nudged" a large piece of debris that was already floating due to Titan's gravity & atmosphere being jacked up. I don't think Iron Man comes close to their durability and strength based on MCU feats. Clearly stronger than Cap, though.
"everything special about you came from a bottle." a bottle funded by Tony's dad
Ironman
Iron man easily. Having cap even compete with him in civil war even with the help of Bucky annoyed me because he's clearly been shown to be on a whole other level powerwise to both of those characters.
Lol why is this even a question. Of course in the current MCU Iron Man would defeat Captain America in a fair fight, they're not even close power level wise.
Plot armour will always favour Steve, no matter how hopeless the odds.
With a pre-Nano suit and in an open air environment Iron Man can just stay in the air and bombard Cap with missiles and repulsor blasts. Any shield throw attempts by Cap can be quickly seen and shot down with repulsor blasts, or even caught by Iron Man and thrown far, far away, which would take away Cap's only ranged weapon. In an open air environment there's a 99%+ probability that Iron Man wins.
In an enclosed space Cap's chances increase, because he can target the arc reactor. Iron Man can foresee this though and have F.R.I.D.A.Y auto block any shots to the chest. Cap could attempt to beat Tony hand-to-hand, but if it's a fight to the death Iron Man can fire his chest beam and incinerate Cap. Iron Man could even shoot a tank missile in the enclosed space and burn Cap to pieces while his suit tanks the damage and leaves Tony largely unscathed. Even if Tony engages hand-to-hand F.R.I.D.A.Y can analyze his fight pattern and Iron Man's suit is far stronger and Cap will be beaten into a pulp. Still, Cap has a not insignificant chance of finding some way to get around Iron Man's defenses and damage his arc reactor. Iron Man gets an 85% of winning though.

In a fist fight? Which is what I consider a fair one? Cap would smack the smarts out of Tony, Pepoer Potts would give Cap more of a fight in the ring.
Well, a "fair fight" isn't really possible since Tony's suit is literally plot armor. His gadgets and abilities are basically whatever the plot requires, especially with his new nanosuit. Cap would probably beat him hand-to-hand, but other than that Iron-Man could just manifest an Anti-Steve Cannon and blast him from afar.
Team Cap all the way, but surely 2:1 with Bucky there had something to do with it.
