All Tony could do was rage.
He was furious. He wanted J.A.R.V.I.S. to target the broken screen with the Jericho missiles he had prepared for the Afghan army—one hundred rounds, just to vent his anger.
Tony: "Hey! You broken-screen jerk! You praised me before! You called me a superhero—Iron Man!""Now you say I'm absurdly overconfident?!""I'm the biggest weapons supplier for the Avengers! I walk into a store, and who wouldn't recognize me? You call me overconfident?!"
Pepper looked at him, worried.
Pepper: "Boss… in the last video, you knocked Thor away in your armor. Aren't you worried the next clip will show you overplaying your hand and getting killed by Thor?"
Tony waved her off.
Tony: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This broken screen is jealous that I, a mere mortal, can defeat a god. It's trying to mess with my mind!""If you don't believe me… keep watching."
[Classic Scene #2: Tony's Unfounded Confidence]
Using the Mark VII armor's thrusters and high-performance systems, he struck Thor like a falling meteor, knocking him to the ground and leaving craters of various sizes.
But Thor—truly worthy of godhood—stood up, unfazed. Any ordinary human would have been killed or severely injured.
Thor: "Try that again, if you dare."Tony: "Then don't steal from me."Thor: "Do you even know who you're talking to?"Tony: "A stage actor? Does your mother know you stole her red cape?"
Thor said nothing, gripping Mjolnir, and slammed Tony to the ground.
The Mark VII armor, made from Earth's materials, could not withstand the strike. Tony bled heavily.
Watching himself fall on the screen, Tony felt embarrassed. He had boasted of fighting gods as a mere mortal. Yet aside from surprise attacks early on, he relied heavily on stealth to bring Thor down.
Eventually, his armor failed against Mjolnir. Half of his life force drained.
Tony: "But… it says my armor is Earth-made, so it can't defeat Thor's hammer.""Then… should I try upgrading the armor using advanced nanotech?""That way, defense will improve dramatically!""And nanotech has memory foam-like properties—armor can self-repair quickly.""Even against powerful gods, I can fight relying on superior regeneration!!!"
Tony's eyes sparkled. Every failed experiment in weapon development had brought him closer to perfection. Even failures were profitable in the end.
Tony: "This time… my armor will be unstoppable. I'll finally defeat the gods!"
He summoned J.A.R.V.I.S.
Tony (slowly): "Create a new folder… call it… Anti-Thor Armor!"
Asgard.
The Destroyer armor had successfully eliminated the intruders. The coronation ceremony, which should have gone smoothly, was halted as per Odin's orders.
Loki had secretly let the Frost Giants in, but they were captured in the hall, ready for imprisonment.
The atmosphere was tense.
Loki, Thor's brother, had tried to steal the Tesseract to create chaos and seize power. Even Odin and Thor were unaware.
If Loki hadn't slipped up, the Frost Giants could have taken the Tesseract…
It was clear: Loki's jealousy, ignorance, and ambition had caused this. More importantly, Odin and Thor had failed in their duties—allowing the Frost Giants to infiltrate.
The hall grew cold. Even carefree Thor seemed unaware of the tension.
Seeing himself knock Iron Man down on the screen, Thor grinned.
Thor: "See, Father? I just knocked Iron Man down! He's a superhero, just like me!""I am worthy, King of Asgard!"
Thor's boast ignited Odin's anger.
Odin: "You're not the King of Asgard yet! Our true enemy is the Frost Giants!""They're four meters tall!""They control freezing temperatures! They can create massive ice and snowstorms!!!""And Iron Man… is just a mortal relying on armor!""You think defeating a mortal makes you proud?""Perhaps I need to reclaim your throne!"
Thor was about to explain, but the screen continued to play.
After Mjolnir struck, Tony's armor was damaged. He struggled to stand.
Thor, seeing Tony's resistance, lifted Mjolnir high.
Thor: "Summon lightning!"
The hammer's energy surged, powerful enough to supply a city for a week, striking the armor. Tony staggered backward, surprised.
Tony: "I expected this to destroy the armor… but it amplified my power by 400%!"
He concentrated the armor's energy, reflecting Thor's strike back. Thor himself was slammed onto a nearby cliff.
Stark Tower.
Tony watched his own performance on the screen and couldn't help celebrating.
Tony: "I told you! I can fight gods as a mortal!""I stand alongside the Norse gods!"
Pepper picked up a small pepper from nearby. Seeing Tony's affectionate behavior toward her, she froze, then relaxed. Her face, normally plump and glowing, flushed red—but she made no resistance.
Pepper (thinking): "He… he's holding me like this…"
