Season 2 Luke

Who wins

Round 1: H2H only
Round 2: Cap can use his Wakandan shields

This would be a pretty entertaining fight. I feel like current Cage would take round 1, but Steve would win with his IW shields, which are actually better suited to fighting Cage than his old one was IMO.

Cap in both and IMHO it isn't close.

In Infinity War Cap held his own and even in their first fight largely dominated two beings who were beating the shit out of Vision and Scarlet Witch.

Cage's durability might prolong the fight but Cap will win.

While I can respect the opinion that Steve wins, there is a lot of context to this.

Corvus literally cheapshotted Vision from behind, stabbing him through the chest and weakening him before their first fight, and he never fully recovers throughout the film. And Wanda had to play defense to try and protect the injured Vision while dealing with those two. Proxima only got the drop on her via cheapshot (while Wanda was talking on coms) during the battle of Wakanda, and when Wanda stopped screwing around, she took her out in one move. Also, Cap was losing (literally pinned on the grown, being choked) when Vision had to save him during his second fight with Corvus.

Yeah. Only time Cap did anything significant to Corvus was when Cap cheap shotted him multiple times when he was focused on a Vision. When Cap knocked away have spear, Corvus stopped screwing around and started to choke out Cap like a *****. Cap was totally helpless
Besides, back in the Edinburgh fight Vision was owning Corvus when he threatened Vision to hurt Wanda and lost only when Corvus deflected his energy beam back at him
And Wanda was in no threat when she was engaging them directly, and the only advantage they had was with cheapshots
On a side note, Wanda got a serious durability amp in IE. Proxima was sending her flying several times but she was barely winded

Also note in the first clip that Steve didn't really engage either one-on-one for any real length of time. He locks weapons with Proxima for a bit, but then it quickly turns into 2-on-1 when Widow jumps in, and then a 3-on-1 when Sam kicks her. And Natasha only got the upper hand on Corvus because he was focused on Falcon at the time, who only got the drop on them again because they were initially focused on Steve. So, yeah, a lot going on there.

Also, remember in the battle of Wakanda, Proxima only signaled for Corvus to move in on Vision after they'd lured Wanda out. Because they knew that if he tried going after Vision solo while Wanda was still up there, Corvus was screwed.

People really believe Cage is on Cap's level? Okay......

Cap with a bit of reason.
