But in Tony's "genius" status he has a lot of what Batsy has. When did he become an expert in thermonuclear physics? Then night before. It took Bruce years of schooling to get to Tony's natural level.
Iron Man still better than batman, batman uses training and gadgets that any rich guy could get, Tony Stark is such a genious he invented technology not even possible at our level of knowledge.
You think getting martial arts training is a super power? Because yes, it is something he bought, he went to a martial arts trainer and paid them to train him.
And tony didnt buy anything like perhaps the raw materials and the previous schooling he had to take in order to get certified to create these new gadgets to sell to the public and whatnot. Real solid argument there
Batman is not a superhero because he has no super power, just a lot of training and intelligence that come from his wealth and his determination
Stark's superpower is super human intelligence.
Therefore ironman IS a superhero.
The biggest difference is batman stood as an idea. Anyone could be an extraordinary person and he also passed his legacy on to someone secretly. Where as tony was just upfront about his being iron man. Plus tony is a fucking dick and I dont like that sort of mannerism in a "hero" he's a fucking asswipe.
Don't forget Iron Man has armor he can form with his mind, Giant armor, Space armor, Underwater armor, millions of armor are in his weaponry, and that's freaking sweet.
"Here's a list of reasons I'm better than you."
"It just says... I'm Batman."
Stark's superpower is super human intelligence.
Therefore ironman IS a superhero.
