This is actually an interesting fight, conceptually: SM edges SM in strength, and his webbing is no joke, but if she can make one of her VB's connect, she can stun him for a take down. IM vs. Ms. is problematic -- Tony has to keep the battle relatively energy free, and focus on body pounding, but they are roughly in the same category strength-wise (if she's un-amped), with her being a touch more maneuverable and he having better defenses (shields, etc).
I'm inclined to give the men a slight majority in this, but Ms could easily turn the tide if she finds a way to amp -- if SM goes down first, the ladies have a chance to take IM down.
Team 1: 6/10, but it honestly could go either way.

DAMN MY TRYING TO ANSWER MULTIPLE POSTS AT THE SAME TIME!
Literally got info/trains of thought crossed in this thread and another thread in *another* forum, tabbed together.
To Clarify: Earlier up, I obviously meant the second SM to be SW(oman), and later I crossed the teams by gender (as the other thread had two females teamed together); my point was that each of the females on *each* team can potentially manage the *opposing* team's males, but it would take them finessing their strengths (Ms. absorbing energy to amp in some manner/Jess trying to make a VB connect before Spidey can web-pin her) before the males can apply their advantages. Thus, making it an interesting cross-combo, with Team 1 (Spidey and Ms.) having the edge over Team 2, though only very marginally...
(Now off to damage control my *other* post, elsewhere...)

Nope. That's one of Jess's original abilities/mutant traits (actually, as originally portrayed, it was a touch stronger than presented in later years -- an early SW# actually had her lulling two London bobbies into a trance/stupor with her pheromones. In later interpretations, it was toned down to be more of a plot element than a properly usable ability.) Generally speaking, her pheromones act to attract/allure males while inspiring fear and/or apprehension in females. But it's not an over-the-top thing, more of a background element -- most "proper" (non-support) characters haven't been documented as being overtly affected (hence, Jess' early friendships with Scotty and Lindsay, and most of her hero/villain frenemies don't normally get affected, either). It really isn't a proper ability/effect, in terms of KMC thinking/applicable battles.
