What do you think is his strength level/range, in terms of tonnage?
Any armor for MCU Iron Man, but no Hulkbuster, Igor and any Iron Legion suits.
Comic and composite feats are not allowed, but MCU canon comic scan are allowed.
Character » Iron Man appears in 11204 issues.
Alot of people like to lowball Iron-man this is especially true for MCU Iron-man.
With that said i,d say anywhere between 15-60 maybe 100 plus Tonnes depending on the film. In the first film he was probably around 10-20 tons. And in the second film he to be at least 30-40 tons. But his strength feats post Avengers put him at the 40-80 ton margin. He could be a 100 Tonner but ive seen nothing conclusive to back this claim up, just a little theory of mine. As we haven't even seen the upper limits of MCU Tonys strength yet.
War Machine has stated and shown to be strong enough to lift a tank which averages around 60 tons more or less. It's reasonable to believe Iron Man's armor is at least just as strong.

Lifting tanks is the best feat so far.

Good point.
@krleavenger: Have you watched the Avengers movie? (the one released in 2012)
@krleavenger: First of all, the turbine was used to operate a helicarrier.
Second, the turbine had around 20 large blades on it, thus being the reason why its heavy. A blade may weigh 50 tons.
How about you watch the movies and look for the best strength feat and do the calculations instead of making a thread on comic vine. Lazy bum!
Yet he struggled to lift a car in iron man...those saying anything above 10 tons are ridiculous
His armor was at 19% and dropping using a power source made from scraps not even designed to power that suit.
I'm not sure.

Not to mention Tony had around thirty upgrades since then and could go up against Thor.
I'm not sure.
Apparently Tony dismantled the original War Machine, that was the Iron Man MKII with conventional weaponry added, immediately after Iron Man 2 and built Rhodey a new War Machine MKII suit, so probably that one.
@m_man: Everything you just posted is with the addition of his repulsors/flight.
Having rockets under your feet and flying up isn't the lifting strength of the suit. Catching the car is (while probably a low showing) an example of lifting strength.
They're still lifting feats. He obviously needs propulsion because he's in the air and has no footing. If a human throws on a jetpack, it doesn't suddenly mean he can lift a car. The limbs of a person still need to be strong enough to support what's being carried. Regardless, here's a lifting feat in MCU Stark armor on the ground that I mentioned earlier:
And in Age of Ultron, Rhodey confirmed further to being able to lift a tank.

That feat (with the addition of Rhodey and the tank) are great indications of his lifting tonnage.
His flight ones are not for obvious reasons.
@manofsteel2013: They confirmed the feat is canon in age of ultron.
@m_man: You cant use the mcu comic scans
It's canon so I can and like stated above it was confirmed in Age of Ultron.
@manofsteel2013: read the OP
With a weaker armor he`s been able to lift up a car I think with his best he would be around the 50-60 tons mark due to his power relation in regards to what Rhodey has shown with a armor that is parallel to his.
@buildhare: As stated before, War Machine lifted a tank, which may weigh around 50-70 tons. That armor is WM Mark II which was created 2012, the same when Iron Man Mark VII was made too.
Given Tony had already like 40 upgrades, it's safe to assume Iron Man is now a 100 tonner.

A great deal of those "upgrades" were prototype suits which we know for a fact were inferior to the ones preceding them. Based on that alone we shouldn't assume that each suit is progressively stronger, let alone make a jump of 30-50 tons based on power-scaling.

The tank feat is awesome but hes never done anything like that in the movies. Seems pretty outlandish and hasn't been consistent with anything in the films. Anytime he moves something heavy in the films he always has the aid of his repulsors. Id like to see more stuff like that in the films to help cement him in to that strength range.
