We also know because Magik was scoffing at him for holding back (calling him pathetic), and we also know because Colossus said he didn't want to hurt him

No. Spider-man took full on blows from phoenix powered collosus and kept coming back for more. Of the 3 it was actually Spider-man left standing at the end...
"Stay down, I don't want to hurt you."
"Why do you hold back, brother? All this power and you don't even have the guts to use it."
"Please stop saying such things, sister, you are beginning to worry me."
Guess who?

The power stack Colossus had, his holding back would probably still be on an entirely different level than Wondy.
So it's a Colossus feat - a feat of his control.
Nothing to do with Spidey.
If Tyson punches a kid, whilst holding back, and I punch a second kid...the result is still the same, Tyson was obv holding back more than I was - but it has NOTHING to do with the kid's durability.

Team still wins. Slade can take punishment from SM thanks to his healing and adding Batman gives the team the majority.
And I'm not underestimating Slade, I realize that, on his best day, he can be a threat to Spider-Man. But he needs prep in order to stand a chance.
Spider-Man still remains faster, stronger, at least as durable, more agile, has an inbuilt alarm system and has his nigh unbreakable webs.
One haymaker of Spider-Man, the one he keeps for Rhino or Hulk or Morlun, will probably be enough.

Yeah I'm not even arguing that point and I never was. I never said Colosus wasn't holding back. But have fun arguing some made up point.
At best, bringing up Phoenix-Colossus vs. Spider-Man was completely irrelevant to this thread since it's only a feat for Colossus; to his ability to control his power (as DS85 argued).
