I recently read Death of Wolverine #2, and Wolverine got himself one of Tony's helmets for a suit, the one right before his current one, that Bleeding Edge trumps any day.
The suit can identify anyone on the planet, give you a description on all of there powers, threat level, attitude, fighting style etc.
While that seems quite impressive, you haven't really given us any information on how that works. My best guess is that it uses facial recognition, matching the persons face with all different data basses around the world (ie. SHIELD, FBI, etc) and brings up any information they have on them. If this is the case, this would be completely useless here as Alucard isn't from the Marvel Universe, meaning that there would be no information on him to draw from. I suppose you could argue that the armour can read a person's electromagnetic brain activity (like Midnighter) to determine a person's powers. If this is the case, I would argue that Alucard is technically dead, meaning he has no brain activity to read. In conclusion, Tony's going in blind on this one.
Combination of using all known facts (Which Tony will get, he's in Al's world) and actually scanning the opponent and finding out what he can do, attitude etc.
So no, a Bleeding Edge Tony is going to see the fact that Al can go intangible, it'll be no suprise to him, he's faced foes who can go intangible (Vision, Ghost etc), he'll have Jarvis run a suitable battle strategy.
As I previously stated, Tony wouldn't be able to know Alucard's gone intangible. But lets talk about after Al's attempted intangibility. Of course, once Al's actually done it Tony could then create a battle strategy, but I'm kind of curious on how it would work. Has Tony ever shown the ability to hurt or interact with someone who is intangible, or does he rely on tricking them into become intangible again? I need to know a little more on how these fights played out before I can say more.
As previously stated, Iron man will know what Al's capable of, as far as I can recall no, but he beats people like Vision because he uses speed to strike as Vision deactivates intangibilty coupled with the fact that his suit tells him when Vision will be intangible,starts working out tim intervals etc.
Knowing Bleeding Edge, being the armour that it is (constantly evolving even mid battle) Intangibility won't even be a viable option, as Tony could probably evolve his suit against it, or you know, use force fields, that his suits can use, that tank nukes at two percent power...
While I don't argue that the armour can't adapt, I'm doubtful it'll get the chance too. All Alucard needs to do is stick his hand through and drain Tony's blood.
Tony's a lot too a.) Fast and b.)Manuverable for that, unless Al can fly at the speeds quicksilver moves, Tony's battle computer (Jarvis) is gonna fire anti Al missles every time Al comes at Tony, he's gonna rig the suit so that when Al solidifies he gets electrocuted etc
And Lobo could regenerate from a single drop of blood, Superman can knock him out, Deadpool can regenerate from basically anything, he's been knocked out, same for most people with insane regen, Alucard has never faced someone as strong as Tony, or as cunning. And if you won't admit Tony can knock Al out, Tony could just incinerate him, leave nothing behind, he can do that.
The thing about Alucard is, he has nodurability. This means pretty much any of Tony's attacks will do enough damage to splatter Alucard all over a wall... which he would regenerate from effortlessly. Get what I'm saying? As for the incarceration thing, well, that's not quite how Alucard's powers work. You see, to even take one of Alucard's souls, you need to perform a heart stab + decapitation (the only time we have ever seen Alucard lose a single life is right at the begin when Anderson did this). Even holy weaponry isn't enough to take one of Alucard's souls (proven when Alucard was at level 0 and Anderson stabbed him through the head with Helena's Nail, which should have killed him right then and there, but Alucard just got right back up and kept fighting).
Ok, cool, then Tony's gonna go for the stasis field, and have it negate powers or some plot power we know his suit would accomplish
Now, let's talk about what happens when you do manage to take one of Alucard's souls. You see, when Alucard loses a soul, a new soul is released from his coffin (where all his souls are stored, and is just off in some random place, meaning it wont be on the playing field), which then forms a 'new' Alucard (seen after Alucard was heart stabbed + decapitated by Anderson, he was 'reborn' in a cloud of bats. This means even if Tony incinerates Alucard, he will still come back.
Tony can trace the soul, see where it came from, and destroy the stache.
Neither of you have given a viable option as to how Al get's past Tony's armour.
I still think intangibility could work, but I would need find out more about how Tony deals with it before I say any thing more. Other than that, blood TK should still work on Tony nicely.
I'll need to know what that is, Jarvis could probably negate the effects though, send nanobots through Stark's bloodstream, keep it from being tampered with.
