* MightyGlacier: Nick is a downplayed example as he is [[LightningBruiser very quick for his size]] but his age means he's noticeably slower than Tony who is able to run circles around Nick while dodging his attacks. However, when Nick does land a blow, it clearly hurts Tony a lot and Nick nearly comes out on top of their fight with a few powerful punches and kicks that badly rattle Tony whose own blows didn't hurt Nick as much.

* DissonantSerenity: Expressed brilliantly through body language by [[spoiler:Reed]], whose fighting style has him advancing calmly and keeping an upright stance and the hands down. Only when Tony starts turning the tide on him he starts getting agitated.
