I understand why you think this, the traditional "15 times" and "40 times" we always heard. And the handbooks putting spiderman at such an advanced speed. But All four characters have similar speed feats. They've all dodged bullets, they've all jumped around lasers, hell, Captain America ROLLED with a laser like most people roll with a punch.
I'm not only talking their feats in combat with each other, where one character may be depowered or amped to make the story interesting, I'm talking about their individual feats. What has spiderman done that is so out of reach for Cap/DD/Wolv?
Again, I'm not contesting that Spiderman isn't these characters superior. He is, for sure. He is much stronger, and he is faster. But his physical ability isn't all that matters. All three characters have incredible amounts of training, and incredible feats that would allow them to INDIVIDUALLY take at least a few wins out of ten, but putting them on a team? Even assuming they don't use any 'teamwork,' and just go with "Let's all attack him," they would still be able to pull it off.
All three characters have been hit by FAR stronger people than Spiderman, and walked away unscathed, all have been capable of getting down and dirty with speedsters, all three could give spiderman a good fight by their lonesome.
You can't tell me you honestly think Spiderman would curbstomp this trio.
