I caught the end of Iron Man yesterday, and I realized that Pepper Potts hits the button that blows up the Arc Reactor and destroys the bad guy and saves a defeated Tony Stark.
In Iron Man 2, Pepper Potts is instrumental in returning control of the older suit to the Air Force Guy, helping to save Tony Stark.
In Iron Man 3, Pepper Potts uses super-human strength to defeat the bad guy and save a defeated Tony Stark.
So who's the bad-ass here?
Get me a suit Tony, I keep having to save your butt anyway.
I'd hit that, with or without the mask

Quoted for truth.
Ms. Paltrow makes one HELLUVA redhead.
...As long as she has 1 or 2 lbs of makeup on.

FWIW, I think the underlying theme for the Iron Man trilogy is that Tony can't do it alone. There has to be people helping.

Fixed that for ya
I thought that was implied.
In reply to bravenrace:
I'm pretty sure you can cherry-pick two pictures of anyone and make a similar claim, which is why those celeb comparisons always seemed like BS to me.
Take me for example (these are actual pictures of me, it's on the internet so it must be true), I looked like this when I woke up and got the mail:
And this was captured on the gate camera on my way into work:
You see what I mean? It happens to all of us! 
You guys need to remember that the GRM forums are only populated by 6'2" blond manifestations of Adonis and only berkeley supermodels.

Sometimes, she does. But only when I wear the suit.
Why would she call you Tony only when you're in the suit? Makes no sense.
This reminds me of the discussion in The Big Bang Theory about how Indiana Jones didn't have any effect at all in how the Lost Ark turned out. And he didn't.

Cause my real name is Tom. It's a role play thing.
This just in: I'm told i look pretty bad without makeup, myself.

You do. 
I'm told I look worse with makeup. Maybe its because i hang around people who've watched too many episodes of Drew Cary....
I thought this thread was going to be about triathlons.
The answer to the OP questions is of course Tony Stark is worthless without his assistant. Every CEO and VP I have ever met is worthless with their assistants. This is real world business 101. The admin assistants actually run every large company. 
I don't have anything witty to add.
I suppose it's nice that my GF never learned to wear makeup and looks berking awesome that way! I on the other hand probably need help.....

Picture same photos with the smiles and eye position reversed.
Not interested in the glossy candy coating. Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes straight to the bone.
If the tabloids are correct, she has B.O. ...takes away a lot of the attraction for me.

Unfortunately, the kind of ugly you suffer from is not fixed with any amount of makeup. I know because I suffer from it too.
How did this become a fan wanna-berkeley fest for Gwyneth?
Let's get back to how much of a badass Pepper Potts is. Seriously, if she doesn't get an Iron Woman suit in Avengers 2, I'll be upset. I mean, FFS, Tony built a suit for Iron Spider.
