How Iron Man Would Defeat Each Member Of The Avengers

This and the next entry are definitely the trickiest of them all, since they've both proven to be - in their own different ways - rather unkillable.

So, how would Tony Stark murder a god?

I mean, it isn't like it CAN'T be done, as our good buddy Gorr The God Butcher showcased. But even he failed when trying to kill the God of Thunder. Thor HAS died in the past, but how would Iron Man manage it?

Well, the best first step would be to separate Thor from his signature weapon - Mjolnir, locking it in a cage that it can't break out of, even when Thor calls for it. After that comes the lightning powers. Fortunately, a few tweaks to the basic design of your average Iron Man suit, and he's got a walking faraday cage. Throw up a bunch of lightning rods to divert the more powerful blasts away from him, and just like that the laws of physics become Thor's worst enemy.

But you're probably thinking "well that's swell but how do you actually defeat him after that? He's still got the strength, stamina, and prowess of a God."

For that, I got nothing clever beyond "just beat on him until he stops moving." With some problems, the only way to do it is to freaking do it.
