An edge that is only in your head. Sure that I agree with.
If we *only* had that one to go on, sure. However, as we have multiple fights to go on, we know that's not how it normally goes. Lucky shots happen, and Capt could get one too, but it's not the norm.
Yeah and the fight that you cite for Cap vs Bat does not have to be a feel out fight either. Like I said different set of circumstances. You have to look at the over all record. Not just cherry pick the fight you like and ignore the others.
That's not my logic, that's phrasing things in an extremely limited way to overlook the big picture 🙂
Exactly. One vs compared to another versus. Seems like your looking at the small picture. 🙂
Like Namorsubby said, you can't just ignore Slade's many, many good showings.Let's not forget, pretty much any time high-level martial artists fight him, they inner-monolog about how much more powerful he is. Even when they have a numbers edge or similar (like when he took on Black Canary, Huntress, and Lady Blackhawk at the same time).
Good point as this line of reasoning opens the door for many more Cap feats. Cap to gets major props in his strength and powers. Statements from Ironfist himself to Cable, Daredevil, Punisher. The list goes on and on. On Cap's speed and power advantage and this is a guy that normally holds back. Plus add to that with the skill impression that others tell him about as well.
Cap has taken on the entire team of villains and has had a edge on Spiderman himself. USAagent who once stalemated all the Avengers Cap at times makes him look like a joke. Seriously his list goes on and on.
With Cap you might find a bad showing of him without his regular shield losing to Hawkeye equiped with a new prep arrow to takes out his energy shield to score a win.
With Slade you can find Roy Harper no selling Slade's punch(by catching it in his fist easily) and then knocking out Slade briefly.
This route does not lead you to anywhere of some type of advantage for Slade.
