Maybe that's what he would like to do, but he's got a terrible record of when it comes to trying to web Wolverine up.... 😬

Even with the one good example there is of Spiderman managing to pull it off in that alley encounter, Wolverine STILL got out the moment he decided to. He said he was just waiting and hoping the webbing was going to dissolve faster, which really is PIS as if the guy who takes swan dives out of airplanes, and sits in cars strapped with C4 of his own free will is about be scared of poking himself in the head a little?
Maybe some people feel Spiderman "should" be able to easily web up Logan, but that hasn't been in the case in almost half a dozen examples including these ones.
And yeah, drowning Logan only works as long as you keep drowning him so that's not a permanent solution either. And we've seen this demonstrated with the tiger shark moment, the Sabretooth moment, and then further suggested by the Wayverine Deadpool fight.
And yeah, Spiderman's scared of Wolverine, and he should be. Wolverine is a LETHAL melee combatant. Spiderman having "tougher, bigger, badder" foes isn't really a reason to discard that fact. Most of Spiderman's foes may have more elaborate powers than Wolverine, but they're not as effective in combat. Wolverine is a broken character for most melee confrontations.
That's why Shield regarded him on a higher threat level than Spiderman.
That's why the 198 files classify him as a "severe" level threat
That's why he has a reputation spanning the universe, the multiverse, and pantheons on high.
This isn't news. Just because he's barely a 5 foot midget doesn't mean he's not dangerous, and that's what scares Spidey, he's dangerous, and wildly unpredictable at times.
Not sure what you think this thread "debunked" but if it was that simple a conclusion to come to, we wouldn't have a 1000 page thread about it, don't be so obtuse.
