Avengers Could an enraged Tony kill Hulk?

So kinda like how in Civil War where Tony gets so enraged that he tries to kill Bucky for murdering his parents. Well what if he tried to do something like that with Hulk? Could he successfully kill him or would Hulk demolish him?

After a building fell on him and in the Hulkbuster armor, sure.

The building is an important point. Tony (and Bruce) built a ton of stuff into the Hulkbuster suit to stop him and pretty much all of it failed. He tried trapping him, hitting him, etc and Hulk was still Hulk. Obviously, being smart enough to use his environment is part of Tony's strength, so this isn't to say Tony didn't beat him, but rather that he had to try something beyond all the planning that just happened to work. It's also arguable that dropping a building on him only worked because it broke Wanda's enchantment, not because it actually managed to beat Hulk enough for him to change.

It seemed like the cage was working but they failed to take into account that hulk could break through the ground and get out that way.

I saw the cage as more of a way to buy time for Tony to fully get the Hulkbuster armor on.

Yes, but it seemed odd to be that hulk chose to collapse the cage and then flip it rather than just breaking it. It must’ve been strong enough that he didn’t think he couldn’t break it fat enough.

I also wonder if the cage was electrocuting him. I think I remember seeing arcs of electricity flowing through the panels.
