Armored Suit
Superhuman Strength
Mach 3 Flight
Energy Repulsors
Missiles and other Weaponry
Regenerative Life Support

Expert in hand to hand Combat

 Iron Man is the classic armored, super powerless, smart-mouthed hero. Over the last 2, and soon to be 3, Iron Man movies, and comic books we've seen him take down some pretty tough villains. No matter what kind of trouble he is in, he always has time to crack a joke, or make a comment about the situation. He's rich(that's an understatement), smart(again, also an understatement), and he gets all the girls, who wouldn't want to be Tony Stark. Some might say "Well, Batman has all those qualities, wouldn't he be a batter match for Iron Man?" Wrong!, though Batman has all those qualities, we can all agree that Iron Man would completely annihilate Batman. First off Batman doesn't really have any weaponry, where as Iron Man has repulsor rays all around. Secondly if he needed to Iron Man would just fly away, where as Batman needs to call in for a ride, and by that time Tony could be relaxing on a beach somewhere. So we did some searching and found that Blue Beetle is a better opponent for Tony Stark and his suit of armor.

Blue Beetle- DC Comics
Abilities:
An alien suit of armor grants the ability of
Flight
Enhanced Strength and Durability
Creating Weapons
Expert in hand to hand Combat
Translation of Alien Language

From the Words of Wikipedia and the DC website:
"Jaime Reyes is the third character to assume the mantle of Blue Beetle, but he is substantially different from his predecessors. Introduced in 1939, the original Blue Beetle was a Fox Comics mystery man who drew mystical abilities from an ancient Egyptian scarab. Published by Charlton Comics and later DC, 1966 creation Ted Kord was Garrett's student who continued his legacy of costumed crime-fighting, although he had no superpowers. DC's introduction of Jaime Reyes in 2006 expanded upon the Blue Beetle myths. Revealed to be alien in origin, the scarab bonds with Reyes and provides him with a suit of extraterrestrial armor shortly after Kord's death. Though only a teenager, Reyes quickly forms a working relationship with Kord's former teammate and best friend Booster Gold and is inducted into the Teen Titans." Though the Blue Beetle may not has that "WOW" factor that Tony has on everyone, he is still a pretty cool superhero.

We matched these two up because they were very similar in many ways: they both have powerful weapons, difference is Beetle creates his, and Tony's are build in. They are both experts in hand to hand and have and have enhanced strength because of there armor. This would be a great battle to watch and see who's armor would last longer and do better against the other one. I would say that Beetle's armor would last longer, because Tony's can run out of power, but that isn't to say that Iron Man would lose.
