I wonder what would happen if one stuck a comic book bleeding Edge Ironman suit in the Valkyrie core. Would it be too alien to be improved much, would synergy between tech base turn it into some Clark tech formulation, that features hulk buster power in the swim suit, how much arc reactors would a iron man have, are ironman weapons betters than Anna weapons.
You'd probably run into the complexity limit, tbh. But even if we assume it works... it's probably a mixed bag? The suit itself probably isn't as good as Anna's, and I'm not aware of any Iron Man suits with weaponry comparable to Anna's particle projectors or her ability to just spam lasers from subspace. Arc Reactors might be an improvement in power output due to their small size meaning you can pack a lot more of them in the same amount of mass as the standard power plants issued to Valkcore users... Ironman sensors probably can't compete with Anna's, though I wouldn't be surprised if Stark could whip up missiles comparable to the ones Valkcore users are issued, leaving Repulsors as pretty much the main point of interest as they provide a method of flight that doesn't require ejecting a fuckton of plasma.

Depends on which Iron Man suits we're talking about, since the highest tier suits that Tony has in the comics can easily tank supernovas, move multiple times faster than the speed of light, react in picoseconds, crack planets and fistfight cosmic beings like Galactus, Celestials and the Phoenix Force.

Less power creep and more high end stuff, these suits get wiped out when he is facing something really godlike, lesser godlike things get the hulk busters and normal godlike stuff gets the Ironman suit. His suit is tanky but I do not really see it soloing a type zero. Basically Tony whips this suits out for things stronger than Thor, and has normal suit is going to best stall for time vs Thor, also these super suits tend to be made out of Uru in a Asgard forge or otherwise absurdly costly.
Complexity limit might be generous here, Tony famous for making his suit in a cave with a box of scrap, while that now how he makes his normal suits, they seem relatively easy to manufacture, through maybe Tony build some clarktech manufacturing. Something like insert word here buster may be harder, but the normal iron man suit may work.

Ironman respect vs Anna respect, granted I think the Ironman thread somewhat high end, I am not sure he actually got hit by those tactical nukes and did not dodge most of the blast.
think the repulser are pretty powerful but I have no real clue how they compare power level wise. That said we are comparing a Ironman suit not Incorporated into the Valkyrie vs the monster. Comparing a student who had a Ironman suit in there core being Upgraded for a year vs one who used the standard Un power armor as a base may be more fair.
I feel like it's comparing a Tech Wizard vs a Tech Spirit, sure there are some hard stats that can be applied, but you know as soon as they meet, a singularity is going to happen
Tony gets a Message; or... Anna lifts Tony's Tech and feels Guilty.
Tony was, for possibly the first time since coming back, actually feeling rather good about things. Said good feeling lasted precisely as long as it took him to don his newly-made Suit.
*Bing*
"Sir, message for you" prompted Jarvis.
"What's it say?" Tony prompted back.
"'Dear Mr. Stark,
My Grandpa Rick is a dimensional travelling inventor with enemies of his own, so when I asked for him to help advance my people in our Earth's war against the Antagonists, he had me copy your tech instead of leaving signs of his presence. Sorry. He also never said I couldn't give you something back, so.....
...Regards,
Anna Sanchez'", Jarvis finished dictating.
"Christ," Tony swore. "You said it came with a picture? Show me."
"Bringing it up on your HUD now-" Jarvis announced before Tony cut him off.
"-She's just a girl!" He protested.
"Accompanying data places her as the foremost combatant on her Earth, alongside the data provided on the history of her Earth and these 'Antagonists'" Jarvis near-quoted.
"..Is it self-consistent..?" Tony asked cautiously.
"Yes" Jarvis affirmed.
"Shit.. Anything else then?" He asked, not wanting to dwell on another Earth's use of child soldiers.
"Just notes on a new element your Father theorized for the sake of powering an Arc Reactor, and that she, having copied said information for her own use, would prefer you name it something like 'Starkanium' rather than 'Badassium', alongside notes on how she pre-assessed you for Valkyrie Core attunement" Jarvis informed him.
"Heh- Oh boy" Tony swiftly corrected himself, instantly detecting how the Core was somehow bonded with him instead of his armor.
"Perfectly normal, Sir," Jarvis assured him, reading his spike in heart-rate.
*Physiology Damages detected - shrapnel. Effective Repair Time -16.82 hours*
"Repair Time? How do I know that?" Tony asked himself, beginning to panic. It was only on Jarvis saying so that Tony realised his 'Core' had eaten his watch.
This reminds me of something that always kinda bugged me: why does Shuri have cybernetic prosthetics when we have plenty of examples of Valks casually regenerating body parts?

Her own severe psychological issues prevent her from doing that the way others would. Rather than healing herself from her injuries, she's actually making herself worse over time.

Do I need to do another reread? Because I do not remember any hatchet between Shuri and Anna.
At most, Anna is vaguely jealous of Shuri because Shuri is considered a better teacher even as Anna disagrees with her teaching philosophy.
And there was that one time Anna's social anxiety resulted in her irrationally wanting Shuri to provide her with training advice the same way Shuri advised the rest of the flight.

Anna did not like how Shuri acted with her first flight. At all, and considered her a bully. It mostly calmed down when Kojiro's flight joined together with Shuri's, but that was in large part due to Sandra taking over the leadership of the flight (IIRC Shuri was originally the flight lead of their flight).
Edit: That said the hatchet was never formally buried.
If the quest ever continued I think getting Shuri to train Anna on portalling was suggested as one bonding activity, since it was something Shuri was better at than Anna and is also useful to Anna's skillset (Army of One specialisation). This could help Anna's social issues (everyone in the team is getting help but me), and also help Shuri by giving her something concrete to contribute at the highest level.
I suspect that part of the reason Shuri was still gettting worse was that her current actions were still reminding her of what she used to do before the events that turned her into the Broken Ace - helping out classmates that were not nearly as skilled as herself - so she has the outcome of the previous time she tried that (i.e. and then they all died pointlessly) haunting her. Giving her something to focus on beyond that parallel could help.
