Does Cap have his shield? And what's Beast' strength level these days?
Cap once defeated U.S. Agent - his onetime successor - who's in the 10-ton club, without his shield.
Yea because hes not as adept in h2h combat as Cap. Cap was always his superior there. U.S. Agent isnt even a better acrobat than Cap. Hes good, but not that good.
The shield makes the difference. Cap is ultimate at hand-to-hand, shield is indestructable and absorbs vibrations from hits. If Beast was in the Namor class, I would say Cap dodges and holds him off for awhile, but eventually gets it ripped from him and ultimately loses. If not danger room, maybe still different story, but there it is.

That's if Cap throws it - if he's smart, he just uses it defensively, and clocks Beast in vital areas when he's close.
If Cap does use it defensively it will be kinda futile since Cap is likely not to land a single hit with Beast bouncing around the room like a rubber ball.
If anyone will find a vital spot it's gonna be Beast since he's faster, has faster reactions, and is much more intelligent.

That would be funny: "In the matter per se which we are presently pursuing, it is incumbent upon my sets of wishes that I now, with speediness of forethought, plunge my incisors into your jugular and make a succulent repast of your grey matter, my dear Captain!" 😂
Seriously, though - who has the Beast ever beaten one-on-one, without his fellow mutants backing him up?

Yes. He has his shield. Beast, thanks to his secondary mutation is the 40 ton range.
He's really not. He can lift 2 tons. That was just a misinterpretation of the marvel ratings system which started lead to a misconception on this forum. Beast is in the class 4 rating which encompasses 800lbs to 25 tons. Beast lifts 2.
