Maybe, but skillwise I haven't seen him doing one thing an average fighter - let's say Luke Cage - could not repeat.

No! Her bio isn't contradicted by her canon. It states that she has super strength. Are you implying she doesn't? Bios are a good source to explain the origins of a character and how they obtained their powers (if they have any). Many human characters have technically superhuman feats by (our definition). Batman for example, has many feats that go beyond class 10.

Some people are legitimately fast enough and skilled enough to hit Pete. To pretend otherwise is ludicrous. Lasers and bullets don't adapt, predict, etc.[/B]
You must not know how Spidey's sense works. It guides Spidey outta the way of danger, not towards it. There's no predicting here. You can't feint Spidey. His spidey sense would only go off and guide him if a TRUE attack is coming. The moment she misses he will pound her instantly. Also webbing, if Pete decides to use it, would at least slow her down for the kill (not literally). Even a large amount of it has held beings like Hulk for awhile.

lol at you arguing with Digi about Spider-man.

Thats what I am also loling about but I guess H1s mighty math equations are better.

I'm actually chuckling a bit myself. The whole thing seems a bit surreal, especially since the last time I debated with Spidey was my tourney win with him. I kinda want to back out just because I'd like h1 to be right, even if I disagree with him.

Aww, how cute. Just like a father figure to him.

Yes, Digi should teach the young grasshopper. He is a teacher after all?

Psh, I don't have the time or patience to teach everyone needing taught on the internet. Gotta cut your losses at some point.

lol.

Gamora really stomps in this fight. It's honestly close to spite.

bn thinking if its a fight in NYC and spidey knew how much gamora could take it could be a even split... if he is on the defense and running using stealth and whatnot keep his distance.

A stomp ? Based on what ?

Based on being superior in pretty much EVERY area that matters in this fight. Being a better MA, Stronger, more durable & faster. That about sums it up. So what areas do you feel Spiderman is superior again?

Although i give gamora the edge, since when is she faster?

Your original quote about the handbook was this:

She was constantly listed as althlete strength for years. Now suddenly shes spider-man level? 😱

Well she must have received an upgrade since all other handbooks list her as athlete strength and ability (or no super powers).

It later changes to this:

So your credibility is already looking a bit shoddy. Athlete or super strength, depending on which one you can better use to make your opponent look ignorant.

But, your original quote was that she was athlete level based on handbooks, I said she has feats beyond that (which she does). My point stands. Beyond that, feats always trump handbooks, and handbooks should rarely, if ever, be used as a sticking point for an argument. You know this, yet have dwelled on it. Let's move on.

Lulz. You must not know....well...me.

To the last comment, if you're referring to the battle alongside Doc Samson against Hulk, an entire web cartridge was torn through the moment Hulk decided to flex. And that was arguably one of the weakest versions of Hulk ever.

I'll give you this, webbing can hinder even Class 100's. It can. However, one need not list the times his own villains have broken through decent amounts of it to realize that it isn't unbreakable until Class 100's. Not even close.

Let's take the Civil War battle with Cap. For the record, I give SM 10/10 against Cap. Less with CIS, but 10 in a forum battle. Now, an earlier post cited Gamora's feat of paralyzing Thing with nerve strikes. This is one among many feats. Could Cap do this? Doubtful. He may have the skill, or speed, but lacks the strength. Now, in the Cap/SM battle, SM talks about his speed, predictive ability through spider-sense, webbing, etc. Yet Cap gets him off-guard, in the air where he can't maneuver in time, and in two strikes numbs large chunks of Pete's body. Now I'll remind you that this was Iron Spider-Man, with a protective iron suit, and immediately after his "The Other" arc where he was faster and stronger than ever. By all accounts, those upgrades have been ret-conned as per OMD. There is small amount of PIS in the fight, and Spidey clearly isn't bloodlusted, but the point stands that the most powerful SM ever almost got two-shot by Cap as a result of a miscalculation.

SM does not have much pure skill, despite some modest training. His fighting is instinctual. If he is out of position as a result of someone out-maneuvering him, he can't dodge blows from someone forever against someone who is more skilled than him. It's the Cap fight times 2, with someone stronger and faster than Cap (I won't say more skilled than Cap, though it's possible).

I'll even say he probably is quicker than Gamora. But jumping around randomly based on guesses and sense is worse than calculated strikes, even if the strikes are slightly less fast.

He can win. He can lose. I just think that for those reasons, he loses more than wins. Redundant lectures on the nature of spider-sense won't convince me of anything.

...

Also, isn't her sword standard equipment? That should make this fight entirely moot.

Gamora and pretty easily.

First you say that you give SM 10/10 against Cap, and a second later you are analyzing the SM-Cap fight in which Cap did pretty good.

That's a bit hypocrite. Besides, SM was holding back like usual, he always does when fighting "normal" people, and he worships Cap. Not only that, but in the second half of the fight, it was Spider-Man who was dominating the fight, but of course it got interrupted...

I am ready and willing to challenge you to a battlezone over this blasphemy. crackers

Cap, by Spidey's own limited observation, has studied Spidey and knows how he fights. And let's face it, Cap doesn't need to be Mister X to tool Spiderman. Intuiting how Spiderman will fight is more than enough an advantage for someone like Cap.

That helps Cap a lot in a CIS on fight when Spider-man's in the "ZOMG im fighting Captain America, how can I punch the living legend? What would uncle Ben think of me?" kinda mindset. But IMO in a no CIS fight it wont help much once Spider-man decides to punch through Cap's skull with a fullforce blow.

^ I don't think you can reasonably conflate Cap knowing how Spidey is going to fight/react to Spidey holding back his strength.

Everyone assumes Cap was bloodlusted in that fight and Spidey was holding back every bit of his ability. That's plain horsesh1t.
