For my post I will be referring to Black Tarantula as BT most of the time, just because I am being lazy. Just so there no confusion
People have been saying Black tarantula beats Wolverine (some have gone so far as to laugh at the idea of Logan winning). There reasoning is due to BT beating Spiderman.
The problem with that kind of abc logic is the fact that Logan and Spiderman have similar, but also very different attributes. BT is effective against Spiderman due to the fact he strong enough to rip through the webbing and is durable enough to shrug off Spiderman’s assaults’ while still being fast enough to get a hold of Spiderman. This makes him a very dangerous foe for Spiderman to face.
These however are not attributes that are effective verse Logan. Logan is made to take down individuals with inhuman durability. Logan’s claws simply bypass there durability. Logan’s healing factor allows for him to take any sort of punishment presented to him.
Just because a character can defeat Spiderman does not mean he can defeat Logan and vice versa due to there different attributes.
Also from what has been view by BT fights with Spiderman he is not overly agile. He likely not even as agile as Logan and from what has been seen of his combat speed he also not as quick as Spiderman is. Meaning Logan will have little trouble hitting him. Logan may even have the speed edge. Logan is also able to take far more punches from BT then BT could take stabs from Logan.
BT when facing Logan is facing an opponent who vastly his superior in skill, that is not the case when facing Spiderman.
Also some of being saying he will use his range abilities. True he may use them, but due to cis as soon as Logan makes it clear he wishes to fight in melee combat, BT will fallow suit. Also BT range attacks are no capable of putting Logan down as we have seen and if Logan wished to he could simply dodge them as show below.
Wolverine reacting to Scots optic blasts, that as fast if not faster. Scot also has with out a doubt superior aim to BT to date.
