If you consider Thing cl100, then you should be fair and mention that Wolverine is a low meta. Because he is, a genuine one. Always been described that way, sans the single Spiderman backup material.

You can clearly see some sort of yellow light beam coming out from that gun,that was no normal bullet.
OT: spiderman didn't KO reed with that kick,he just kicked him...reed was fine,and was able to then throw himself into that blast meant for sue that KO'd him
Cap just has punches and shield throw...reed's body makes that kinda useless.
Reed should win this
So, basically, perusing this thread, Reed has high/low/inconsistent showings like pretty much every other superhero.
As such, I'd say if Cap catches Reed by surprise, fight ends fast, even with a single, red-gloved punch. But, if Reed is on his guard and prepared for blunt-force impact, I don't see how Cap could hurt him. Reed wins, if not as quickly ... unless, perhaps, they are in an environment Cap can use to his tactical advantage.
Case in point, for both combatants: in his fight with Daredevil (FF#73), Reed was able to lasso him before he could react to what he was sensing (Reed's approaching arm). DD got in some good strikes; Reed even thought-bubbled, "If not for my pliable body -- that would have floored me." Reed then tells DD that he's "thru" handling him with "kid gloves." DD again gets in some good shots (mostly by using stuff laying around Reed's lab, eg, a "power rod" -- I imagine Cap would fight similarly), but eventually, Reed tricks him (feigns a lasso, lands with a punch -- rather tactical himself), and in the end, Reed is in the winning position (DD is all wrapped up with a punch headed for his face) when Sue stops him.
