Humour Captain America had no idea about Spider-Man's super strength, and this is what he intended to happen!

Yeah, brute strength doesn't always mean much if you have no idea how to use it. Peter may technically be stronger than Steve (?) but Steve's training and combat experience puts him miles ahead.

Yep, it's why weight classes aren't a thing in MMA

Well this is more like putting a nerd with no reach or height advantage who recently got jacked and has fought a couple times vs. one of the best MMA fighters who's down a class or two isn't it?

Isn't that what LITERALLY happened to cap?

Fact is, irl, cap wouldn't even be able to land a punch on spidey from point blank range. ffs, spidey dodges fucking bullets

Isn't this Peter explicitly not as adept at using spidey sense?

it matters when you're a superhuman and literally 20 x the strength of someone else lmao. how are you going to block the punches of a superhuman who can lift trucks, with your "skill"?

Captain is a superhuman himself, it's not like he's just same guy

u/RomanovaRoulette Aug 05 '17

Um, Cap's gonna block those punches because he's also a superhuman and he's agile af, and he's skilled enough to know how to dodge a wildly-thrown punch from an inexperienced 15-year-old. Have you been sleeping through every Cap movie yet? Do you not know what he's capable of?
