Round 1 goes to Noh-Varr and Round 2 goes to Iron Lad.

Noh-Varr is pretty friggin' good with tech, what makes Iron Lad superior?

I'd give both rounds to Noh-Varr. Even though Iron Lad is destined to become Kang we haven't seen that many impressive prep feats from him. I'd also argue that Noh has a greater knowledge of temporal and dimensional dynamics than Iron Lad (not Kang though). So I'll go with Noh.

@Owie:

Well you have to remember that Noh-Varr doesn't just have Kree tech to aid him but also transdimensional Kree tech and a direct line to the Supreme Intelligence. Another important distinction to make is that Iron Lad is not Kang the Conqueror. He will be, but not yet. Kang has vastly superior prep and fighting feats. Iron Lad was having difficulty navigating the timestream in Avengers the Childrens crusade. Whereas Noh could open windows through time and travel through it when Immortus was disrupting the entire space time continuum. I'd say that Noh-Varr's recent appearances are more accurate to his ability. Also he is a very skilled Kree warrior on top of being a genius.

But in terms of prep, I would go with Noh-Varr.

I wouldn't. 

No?  Any examples or reasons you'd give in favor of Iron Lad's prep?

No, I think it's hard to calculate what either would do with prep. Just because Noh-Varr has prep feats doesn't mean he'd be more inclined to have everything under control. I bet he thought that override device he used against Iron Man would give him the upper hand but it didn't.

You just read Young Avengers, huh? Great series.

I would say Iron Lad both rounds, without prep he took out Iron Man without meaning to, and with prep he can access the timestream and pull out a bunch of futuristic weaponry that can take out Noh Varr. Nega Bands obviously make this harder for Iron Lad but I still think he takes both rounds. His forcefield can take a nuke, and probably more.
