Tony and his team then go to Germany where they have to face of against Cap’s team in an airport. This makes for probably the best fight scene in any Marvel movie yet.

Team Ironman consists of himself, Warmachine, Black Widow, Black Panther, Spider-Man and vision. Captain America’s team consists of himself, Bucky, Falcon, Scarlet WItch, Hawkeye and Antman. The two teams battle with Ironman’s team seeming to come out on top in the end but Rhodey is shot out of the sky and ends up paralysed so Cap and Bucky escape while the rest of his team s taken to the supervillain prison the RAFT. Ironman soon finds Cap and Bucky But Zemo is there and reveals that Bucky killed Starks parents so they have another fight where Tony almost beats cap and Bucky to death but leaves them in the end because that’s not what he is.
