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?

Maybe? He did draw blood off Thanos on Titan when Hulk barely tickled Thanos at the beginning of IW. I don't think it would come down to Tony's rage so much as it would his prep. The Hulk Buster suit was pretty effective in AoU and we can only assume that Tony bested Hulk at the end of that scene before it cut away.

Tony only "beat" the Hulk in AoU because the Hulk started to calm down after Wanda's spell had warn off and he saw the damage he had done. If Hulk had stayed enraged Tony might not have survived as he was struggling hard against the Hulk who was tearing the Hulkbuster apart.

I dont disagree with where you're coming from, but I could just as easily argue that Tony "knocked some sense" into Hulk which caused that. It was a very cool fight scene either way. The other part I could argue is that Tony designed that specific suit to stop the Hulk, not to kill him. Interesting to think about either way.

Yeah i could buy that. I think the fight ultimately purposely never gives you a clear winner just like Hulk vs Thor never has a clear winner, i'm guessing they want to please both fanbases by not giving a clear stance on whose stronger.
