It's a major driving force in Civil War even the watered down version in the MCU.

Tony Stark: I don't have powers but made something that almost wiped out a nation so we should all register with the government that really hasn't liked us all that much.

Captain America: That's a massive invasion of privacy and I fought against those who catalogued people, so get bent.

Also Civil War - Cap punches Iron Man, and Iron Man recoiled.

The same Iron Man that takes a tank round while airborne, has an uncontrolled landing, and stands back up with some scratches and scorch marks.

I loathe that film.

Both are kinda weird considering just being in a suit of armor isn't gonna save you from concussive forces turning your body into liquid inside that armor.

Just consider that Captain America is stronger than a tank shell.

He surely has stopped a tank shell with his shield at some point or another.

Also it's pretty common for the strength of super heroes to vary wildly depending on the script's need.
