Captain America vs Luke Cage

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

Winter Soldier's kicks would be stronger than hits from his normal arm, but whether they are stronger than hits from his robot arm is debatable. In fact, I would say that Bucky's robot arm is stronger than one of his legs.

hes able to easily overpower Cap on equal footing with the mech arm, Cap was able to grapevine and overpower the arm later on though; its really hard to compare though. WS punched the shield and didn't really move Steve iirc, he was able to punch a hole in pavement but Cage has done better than that. Im leaning towards Cage being stronger than Buckys mech arm, but not by a huge margin.

The Mech arm overpowered Steve in WS & CW

I agree it's hard to compare at this point (which is why I said I can't really give an accurate answer), because Cage has WAY more feats than Bucky. But WS did also punch a massive dent in the elevator during is Civil War scuffle with Cap (before smashing Steve through), punched a hole in the pavement, and knocked some concrete out of a wall with a blow that Sam dodged, during that same Civil War scene. So that arm has shown that it can also damage those kinds of substances, just like Cage's fists can. I would say that the uppercut Cage gave DB to lay him out is further than any hit Bucky has dished out, but then I can't recall WS specifically uppercutting anyone with his metal arm.

Cap gets knocked off his feet twice due to his shield being hit by an RPG. Once in WS by Bucky and once in CW by Crossbones. Twice is too much to ignore, and actually becomes consistent with that type of weapon.

That said when neither WS's metal arm or IM can do anything by punching Cap's shield, then Luke Cage's punch won't be doing jack either.

Cage stopped a vehicle with a shoulder block. He's way above Bucky.

I think hes above spiderman man physically or atleast equal. But definitly above durability wise

If he is he wrecks cap

Not necessarily. He may have Spidey-level strength but he doesn't have Spidey-level speed. And while I do think Cage wins this fight, I do think he'll need to work hard for it.

Any guy who can go toe-to-toe with IM will give Cage a fight.

Let's not forget Tony's suit was gimped.

And go toe to toe with Ultron.

Cap wins

Cage wins in the end, Rocket Proof, Bullet Proof, stopped a speeding vehicle like it was nothing when it ran into him, ended up destroying the vehicle. Punched through solid re enforced concrete. Tosses people through walls like paper without effort. Cap really cant hurt him at this point.

Captain America works Cage, and tbh I don't know how hard it'll be for
him with his far superior speed, shield and hand to hand skills. Cage's only advantage is his durability and that's not going to mean much against Steve who's strong enough to harm him with his fists and could ruin his day with the Shield.

I'm not certain Cage is even stronger, especially after Civil War. I think people are forgetting how strong Steve was intended to be as far back as his first movie and the first Avengers. Punching through Submarine glass, tossing guys as far as Luke does even though they're full armored etc.

I remember that SHIELD episode from Season 1 where Deathlok moves a bulldozer across a football field and it was said he wasn't even close to Captain Americas record.
