The difference between Spider-man's speed and top level streets is negligible, like the difference between first and last place in the 100 meter dash at the Olympics. That's not how it "should be," that is how it is. When it comes to speed most streets are pushing against the glass ceiling separating human from superhuman, and Spider-man is right on the other side. It is his spider-sense that gives him an advantage.Wolverine's combat reaction time (moving from a stationary position to attacking an enemy) was listed on panel as being almost 10 times the speed of an average human's twitch reaction time for a finger.
Because they haven't really "equaled" all of his feats, they might have some comparable feats, but they haven't done this as often, nor have they done this with less effort. How many people have taken a hit from Hulk? Should we now say that they are able to take as much damage as Wolverine, or that they are now "equally durable"? Suspension of disbelief and logic do apply. Spiderman has statistically faster speed, biographically faster speed, he's blitzed more people, more often, fought faster enemies, and been faster in panels where several (skilled street) characters were, and they even commented on this. It is obvious characters like Batman and Bullseye don't have superhuman speed, some characters with MA training have an easier time predicting moves but it isn't true precog.
Also his personality makes him hold back quite a bit while he is fighting, something most "anti hero" streets don't need to do. I've already made a thread on this, and it has been proven. Unless someone wants to put up their feats side by side.
And by the way, feat wars are *not* great ways to argue, anybody can take all of the best feats of one character and lower it against another without taking things into consideration. Which is what a majority of KMC does anyways.
I thought Spiderman being a deal faster was common sense honestly, I've only really seen the usual suspsects argue otherwise.
