Captain America vs Luke Cage

Cap takes care of business pure and simple

the way I see it, Spider man is implied to be naturally stronger than any of the Avengers bar Vision, Hulk and Thor and Steve was able to get the upper hand on him in a physical matchup. With showings like that he can dust Cage shield or not IMO.

PIS at it's finest...i cringed so how hard at that scene...

Yeah that Spider-Man and Cap fight was crap I chalk it up too it being Cap's movie.

I just thought Spidey was still very inexperienced in this fight and that maybe he hadn't really fought anybody with superpowers yet - especially not somebody with Cap's skill and experience. He got hit by Falcon's flying little droid as well, which he should have been able to dodge with his spider sense and enhanced reflexes. It gave me the impression that he was slightly overwhelmed, which made sense if he'd only been fighting street thugs so far.

He easily over powered Bucky's metal arm yet struggles holding Cap with his webs he even stopped a 3000 pound car running 30+mph

Hey I totally agree with you guys, Steve shouldn't be able to touch Spidey but it is what it is and thats feats for the red white n blue guy, i thought it was super far fetched that he was able to yank Spider Man towards his kick by grabbing his webbing tbh

Depends which suit. They tend to vary in durability across the films. Some of his suits in IM3 barely took any effort to destroy, and even his Civil War suit isn't particularly impressive compared to some earlier ones. I genuinely have a hard time seeing that suit hold up as well to Iron Monger's onslaught as his suit at the time did.
Makes sense.

The shield has some inconsistent showings, where it should have absorbed and redirected the energy/force hitting it but didn't.

I'd go with what it's supposed to do and often seen doing, so Cap could use it to successfully block any punch from Cage without harm to himself.

I would agree with this. I'm not sure Cage has quite enough striking power to send Steve off his feet even while blocking. Who knows though, he does have some impressive striking power.

The whole Steve vs. Spidey fight was one big pile of PIS and CIS. I look at that scene no other way.

Not any more than Ironman and definitely nothing compared to Mjolnir.

Not sure about that... some grenades aren't able to blow up a steel door surrounded by concrete. Yet, Cage was able to destroy one with ease. It all just depends. I would say if you took Cage's best striking feat.. and Cap's worst shield showing... he's getting knocked off his feet.

What exactly is Cap's worst shield block showing?

Also, wouldn't that be unfair? Getting the best feat of one and comparing it with the worst of the other? Shouldn't we be taking the average at least?

I'd imagine a solid strike from Luke against a Cap who is bracing properly with his shield would probably end up similar to 1:39 here:

I agree, which is why I said it likely wouldn't move him much if at all. I was taking the average showings.

Here's a question: Who do you guys think can generate a stronger punch: Luke Cage or Winter Soldier's robo arm?

That is really tough to say, IMO. They've both been shown to be able to punch through similar tough materials, and have been able to send people sailing through the air with clean hits. I honestly wouldn't be able to give a confident answer.

I'll side with VD on this one. He has more knowledge of Cage and his best feats. I've only started to watch it.

Well, one thing I feel confident in saying is that Bucky's robot arm's punching speed is better than Luke's.

Cage. He sent guys flying further with one punch than Bucky did with one kick. Kicks are stronger than punches ergo Cage must be stronger
