I know he defeated the badguy who could regenerate, but I can't remember how! Granted, I saw it a week ago, and there was a LOT of suit parts flying on and off Tony Stark's body like someone had a suiting-up fetish/OCD thing. Seriously, after seeing the suits fly onto his body for the 50th time it started to lose its coolness factor. And then finally the bad guy was defeated. But I can't remember how.

Me, I would have gotten to the point of frustration, and make all the suit parts crash into him at once. OR the laser-equipped parts fire at once, so you have a circle of lasers concentrating in one spot.

And frankly, that's only if I'd already tried decapitation (somehow).

On the plus side, I loved how the regeneration had that fire look. Regeneration + Fire = Awesome.

Pepper threw a massive round of ammunition at Killian which caused him to explode and die. It wasn't actually Iron Man that delivered the finishing blow which I found to be a nice change.

Pepper has dealt the finishing blow in 2/3 Iron Man movies, and she had one of 2's antagonists arrested :p

The love interest killed the bad guy after the good guy beat him first but not hard enough.
Just like in The Dark Knight Rises! :)

I'm still trying to figure out how that shell's explosion blew him up more efficiently than being encased in an exploding suit of power armor, myself.

She overloaded the Arc Reactor in the first film that fried Jeff Bridges.

thought it was a fun movie to watch, and I guess it was my first Iron Man movie... (I don't watch too many movies) But that last part there just kinda confused me. I also knew she wouldn't die to the fire, since you've seen what kind of beating those regenerators can take, and she's been pumped full of the stuff.

I'm still not sure where she picked those fight moves though. Even if she got her strength pumped up, she still wouldn't know a thing about fighting, would she?

She probably has some kind of self-defense training done. Also, on the topic of the whole "exploding suit v.s. exploding ammunition" thing, I choose to view it as finishing him off. The suit blew him up real good, but not enough so the rocket explosion was all that was needed to finish him off. The thing that DOES confuse me is: where the hell are the other suits in this final confrontation? Surely they had defeated the rest of the regenerators by then, so where were they?

From what I remember it wasn't so much defense as full-fledged offense, somersaulting from the flames and shooting him up. I knew she wouldn't die in the fire but seeing him bushwack Killian like a ninja was a little... off.

I assumed that the previous ass-kicking and exploding suit severely weakened him. They implied earlier in the film that the more regening something did, the closer it got to destruction.

Thus, Pepper couldn't have defeated him without Stark, and Stark couldn't defeat him without Pepper. It took both of them repeatedly damaging him to eventually push him past the point of exploding.

Yeah I guess it is a little off, but it isn't entirely unthinkable that she does have the ability to do things like that.

Not surprising at all if you think that Killian just went hand to hand with Iron Man and Won, I mean multiple very hard blows that he barley even filched at. the fact that Pepper could do some stuff doesn't shock me, she just became a super soldier essentially, and ANY hand to hand/ self defense training taken up to super human level would make you look pretty ninja like.

So he got to the point of the catastrophic melt-down, then went bang, but without the catastrophic bang?

Meanwhile Captain America, Hawk Eye, Hulk and Black Widow all watched from a distance sipping coffee and trying not to get bored.
Nick Fury gazed down from his floating fortress, shrugged his shoulders and said "meh, average villain, he can handle it. SHIELD only deals with important shit."
