Ok im bringing this thread up because I have changed my mind about alot of stuff. Unfortunately I will bring up some points I have already dealt with.
Classic Spiderman beats Cap 6/10. This is because obvoulsy Spiderman is superior to Cap in alot of aspects. Spiderman is superior to Cap in reflexes but I really do not think this is a great deal. Anybody with common sense can see that both Cap and Spiderman have done similar agility feats but Spiderman is superior.
In terms of strength, yes of course Spiderman is significantly superior in strength.
In terms of durability Spiderman is not that much greater than Cap. Both of them have to dodge bullets and knives but of course Spiderman is more durable.
Yeah we know that Cap is a much better fighter.
To be quite honest Spiderman is one rank highier than Cap in most things, in terms of strength that is a big deal but its not the case with durability and reflexes.
As we know Cap is considered peak human but I still think that can be considered superhuman, low level superhuman. The reason for this is because he is described as being the pinnacle of human perfection. So whats above that...superhuman. Also in the MU you live in the world were superhumans exist therefore the bar for human potential is rasied much highier. Cap is not just much better than Olympic atheletes he is far superior and placed right outside superhuman.
If you look at people and concepts whenever you have some one or something that is just outside the border it can be indistinguishable from whatever is just across the border. You know about my example where Cap lives in the South of France but can also speak Spanish, at first glances you might think he is Spanish but there is no way you would think he is German...I hope this makes sense.
I think we would also agree that in the MU talents can be the equivalent of superpowers and even if you dont think its about peak humans being amped, Cap's fighting skills are a prescribed power:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America
<He is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat, sometimes taking on and defeating foes whose strength, size, or superpowers greatly exceed his. >
There it is written in black and white eventhough Spiderman will win the majority those people who say things like Spiderman will only win if he has a seizure are way out of line.
In saying that this does not mean Cap beats the Silver Surfer and Spidierman is still superior to Cap in alot of things.
If we look at the fight between DD and Spiderman in the gang wars series I think this will give insight between what could happen between Cap and Spiderman.
Eventhough Spiderman has superhuman reflexes he can be vulnerable to fighters much better than him. Both Cap and DD have the ability to take the iniative in H2H. A robot clone of Spiderman said this about Cap, Spiderman said this about Cap in a recent issue. If you also look at his clashes with top notch martial artists eventhough he can beat them he has to resort to webbing.
I belive that Cap can beat Spiderman H2H, but like his fight with DD Spiderman will use webbing. Spdierman not holding back will beat DD 10/10. Eventhough DD can get some early hits when Spiderman webbs him and starts hitting him full force DD is going down. It has been quoted that Spiderman holds back when he fights so he does not kill people.
The difference between DD and Cap is that he has shield. If Spiderman decided to punch full force Cap is capable of blocking his punches with his shield. If Spiderman decided to web him Cap can use his shield AND his webbing does not stick to his shield! Cap is one of the best strategist surely if his shield is immune to webbing he can use it in such a way that he can avoid being webbed. Bare in mind that his web shooters are not as fast as bullets, so cap should be able to dodge them.
We also know that Cap is capable of hurting class teners. He knocked one of the wrecking crew out cold.
Of course Cap might get hit by one of Spidermans punches and may eventually get webbed. I think Cap does have a degree of superhuman durability and his kevlar can withstand automatic machine gun fire at close range....that aint bad! In saying that I dont think Cap could take alot of full force punches from Spiderman, he maybe able to roll with some but not all.
Im gonna do Iron Spidey next..
