Originally posted by Sam ZI dont know about that. JMS has been writing Spider-Man for a very long time, and considering that he is the person that is handling the whole "Spider Power-Up" if he says Spidey has a tough time against Cap, thats the way it is. As far as Cap/Wolverine/Punisher go, this issue seems to indicate that a lot more discussion and thought needs to be given to their skill level and how it can compensate for Spider-Man's greater physical ability. I wouldn't really put Punisher in with Wolverine and Cap, unless we are including Frank's ability to set traps and use prep.
And it was a typical bad writing.
Spider-man doesn't need an upgrade to beat Cap without much trouble. But it seems that writers forget about Spider sense, speed, reflexes and strength when it comes to fight with Cap/Wolverine/Punisher.

Cap has roughed up Wolverine also though.
Cap Annual # 8 - 3 second fight, no one had any advantage, no winner.
CapWolf arc - berserk Wolverine was about to kill Cap before interference.
EOTS - Cap KOed a nearly dead Wolverine from behind, Wolverine had just been in a plane wreck, fought an entire team of X-Men, and been hurt worse than he had ever been before. Clearly not a fight.
Wolverine Origins - Wolverine just got done fighting Nitro and he still has enough left to take the advantage over Cap. Later in the issue
Wolverine annihilates Cap after taking a hit from a sword that can kill anyone. Cap would be dead if the X-Men hadn't showed up to save him.
Cap can only defend himself against Wolverine. He can't take the win.
