[DC/Marvel] If Bruce Wayne was given the same origin story as Tony Stark, how would he have escaped the Ten Rings and what kind of hero would he have become instead?

This scenario assumes Bruce's parents died in an accident when he was a young adult to match up with Tony's timeline. Bruce isn't an engineering genius of the same caliber as Tony but still has his own natural talents to fall back on - though less refined due to not having been driven to develop them from a young age in this timeline.

He's screwed, basically - Tony was an engineering messiah who built a weapons platform in a cave to escape.

Without first becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne is just a smart rich kid - being raised by his parents for longer would only cement that. 

Tony Stark was always Iron Man, only without the suit.

Bruce Wayne became Batman.
