We'd be remiss if we didn't mention that Cap does have a few things going for him. Cap is an actual soldier, going through bootcamp and fighting some of the toughest battles of World War II. Thanks to the Super-Soldier Serum, Cap is much stronger than the average person, having faced off against the Winter Soldier, aka Bucky Barnes, whose left arm is cybernetic and is capable of catching Cap's shield when it's thrown directly at him. And Cap's shield is also indestructible, and can withstand just about anything, including direct gunfire, explosions, Thor's lightning, Thor's hammer itself, and laser blasts, which are Iron Man's main method of assault. So with all of that, we know that Captain America is no pushover. He'll be able to give Iron Man a fight, but ultimately, Iron Man will win.
