MARVEL: THE ONE ABOVE ALL TIER LIST

After rebuking the arrogant alien in the chatroom, Tony Stark felt much better.

As someone who believed in science and technology, he always looked down on those who called themselves "gods"—especially the ones who weren't all that bright.

"I've always had a sharp tongue. Why should I tolerate the insolence of a space brute with one too?"

As for Thor, Tony wasn't really worried. What could that guy do? Hit him through an internet cable?

He sat comfortably on the villa balcony, watching the sun rise over the ocean with a light heart.

"Forget the hate, enjoy the view a little, then go fight that muscle-brained alien. Isn't this a great life?"

And then—BOOM!

Just as Tony was admiring the beauty of the sunrise, a multi-colored light tore through the sky and landed fast. The door sealed shut behind it, and out walked a burly man in armor, carrying a hammer.

Tony's expression dropped the moment he saw what the visitor was wearing.

"Jarvis! Quick! Prep Mark V!" he shouted, tossing aside his tea and rushing to the basement.

As long as he had the Mark 5, he didn't need to panic—even if the other guy came with bad intentions.

"Foolish human! You were quite arrogant in the chat, weren't you? Well, here I am! Go on, keep insulting me now!" Thor roared as he kicked down the villa door.

Tony had just finished putting on his armor. His lips twitched when he heard that booming voice.

He had never expected that this walking musclehead would actually cross universes just to pick a fight over an argument.

"Seriously? It's not like I killed his dad or something!"

He grumbled internally, cursing Thor's uncivilized behavior.

But of course, Tony Stark wasn't one to back down. Even if he was in the wrong, stubbornness ran in his blood.

Now that he had the armor on, his confidence returned.

"Well, look who showed up! A medieval prince with a hammer? Come on then—let Uncle Tony show you the meaning of advanced technology—"

He didn't even get to finish his sentence before Thor's hammer sent him flying through several walls and rolling into the street outside.

[Alert! Alert! Iron Man suit has sustained 10% damage!]

Tony scrambled back to his feet, gasping inside the armor, as Jarvis' alarm blared in his ears.

"What the hell is that power? He cracked my armor with one hit?!"

Meanwhile, Thor stood watching him with bright, excited eyes.

Very few opponents had ever withstood his blows over the centuries.

"You've got some spine, human…" he mocked.

"But that doesn't excuse your insolence! You insulted the son of Odin and dared to defy my divine majesty—now you'll pay the price!"

Back then, Thor had never tasted defeat. He was arrogant, reckless, and didn't know the meaning of restraint.

Tony Stark, who had provoked him again and again, was the perfect target for a lesson in humility.

Electric arcs surged around Thor's hammer, and dark clouds gathered above them. A lightning bolt came crashing down—hitting Iron Man directly.

[Warning! Warning! Energy core at 200% capacity!][Warning! Armor integrity down to 50%!]

Tony: "???"

His lips twitched again as he listened to Jarvis' report in disbelief.

"Jarvis... what do you suggest we do now?" he asked with a helpless, sarcastic smile.

Jarvis, in his usual honesty, replied: "We suggest issuing a direct apology."

"Apologize?!" Tony snapped. "That arrogant brute calls humans weak in every sentence—and you want me to apologize? Not a chance!"

He'd rather die fighting than bow down to some self-proclaimed god.

"Huh? Still alive?"

Thor tilted his head in surprise as Iron Man climbed back up. A wild, battle-hungry grin spread across his face.

It had been a long time since he met such a persistent foe.

"Even the weakest of Midgard has surprises? Excellent..."

Just then, a message popped up in the chat:

[Loki: @Thor, dearest brother, the Marvel List supports live broadcasts. Why don't you stream this battle? Let everyone witness your divine strength, so no one dares challenge you again.]

As always, Loki was stirring trouble. Even if Thor won, the stream might provoke Odin's disapproval—exactly what Loki wanted.

After a moment of thought, Thor realized Loki's suggestion wasn't bad. He immediately opened a livestream in the Marvel List.

[Isaac: Oh boy, the dumb god actually came to Earth just to cause trouble for Tony? I knew this cocky bastard would get smacked one day—and it looks like today's the day.]

[Human Torch: What?! This guy's that arrogant? @Tony Stark, want me to come help? I still have an unused parallel-world pass.]
