Guys, guys, this is a fanboy mess! Spidey and Wolvie obviously have the greatest followings within Marvel nowdays, but Spidey doesn't seem to have the same favorite backlash Wolvies seems to be reciving. One of the key points I must point out from a different perspective is that every writer it seems makes anew character who is "badass" in his eyes....How do you prove this? You put him into a fight with Marvel's Badass king: Wolverine. So many of Wolvies defeats should be swept away due to writer stupidity...like Spidey's Clone Saga. So you must look at A) Theoverall ability that the conitnuity has given them and B) Logical aplications of thier abilitys. Also with this there is the aplication of personality's.
So, if by some mysterious plot line these two end up in a knock down, drag out fight Wolverine wins...here's why. Wolverine's fighting ability is the top within Marvel, if not all of comics. He has lived and trained for centuries, with all or at least many martial arts, comando techniqes and with many, many different weapons. Compounded with a healing factor, enchanced senses and an adimantium laced bone structure.....he's, in a martial sence, unstopable. Compound this with his personality....he is full and willing to do masive damage. Spidy really has no fighting skill beyond his agility and creativity. Which granted is damn good, could be manipulated by a trianed fighter. He, with his spider sences has been hit several times (and not counting Venom or Carnage whom disrupt his senses). And Wolverine out performs many or all of these villans. Also Spidey tendes to be distracted and less than serious, he bides his time, spits out quips and whatnot.....that is a fatal error in this fight. Wolverine would set up spidey's dodge's until there was a sure hit and that is all it would take. one hit, claws out *slice* its all over. They can cut through steel like butter people, you do not want to be hit by these things. Even if Spidy takes the fight directly to Logan, the favor falls in Logans court. He has fought and trianed against Precog's Telipaths and the like....Spidey is still screwed. If you can predict where someone's going to attack...the fight is over. On top of this Logan with his healing Factor can screw up and get hit....he'll get better.....Spidey can not afford to, one hit and its all over. On top of this do not underestimate Wolverine's on agility, granted not as fast as Spidermans' expecialy in the air, gymnist-wize, is still really impressive......he's caught Quicksilver off gaurd before. As I said it's all training in the end.
