@jashro44: There are several examples of him webbing people and incapacitating them. In fact, even against the likes of Green Goblin and I think Kingpin, his first idea was to web their hands (and did so successfully, but Green Goblin broke out, and Kingpin pull the wall apart and took the webbing with it). It's an argument that seems to being altogether dismissed this entire thread.
Instead of showing how Wolverine could potentially get out, people have just been saying "Nuh uh, Wolverine is too skilled, and he will just do a backflip and not be around webbing anymore". While that's not exactly what's being said, it's roughly the same thing.
At the end of the day we have Wolverine against someone who has the speed and the means to incapacitate Wolverine a good minority of the time, and a person who can potentially beat or KO Wolverine at least a small minority of the time. Between his two options, I see no reason why he couldn't take the majority here. Wolverine is good, but as I have pointed out in other threads he has ONE method here, to claw Spiderman.
If Spiderman simply uses his superior mobility, versatility, and his webbing he puts Wolverine at an extremely heavy disadvantage. And the thing is, that's how Ultimate Spiderman fights. He dodges, avoids, incapacitates, and strikes when he knows he can score a good hit. Just look at every fight @luciustheeternal has posted, or take a trip to CadenceV2's tribute thread, and you'll see why my opinion is where it's at.
I was (and still am) a HUGE Wolverine fan. I've read several of his origins comics, a good portion of his X-Men appearances, and several of his other team ups and solo series. But at the end of the day I know as much as everyone else here does that Wolverine uses ONE tactic. He runs up to someone and claws them until he wins. This EXACT tactic is responsible for 90% or more of his losses, as people who have a reasonable counter to it can often get the advantage on him. Granted, it has served him well (as his track record has more wins than losses) these many years, but he's going against someone who directly counters this tactic.
Ultimate Spider-Man isn't anywhere near as skilled. That being said, he's smarter, has better reflexes, and is faster (Wolverine can counter speed with skill, but Pete's raw speed dwarfs Wolverines). Over and above this he's far stronger, has way more mobility, is more versatile, and he's far more experienced than people give him credit.
The thing about Ultimate Spider Man, is his villains didn't job their way through the first 200 issues like classic Pete. If you read Ultimate Spider Man was plunged head first against villains who didn't hold back. He got beat half to death, flung around like a ragdoll, and he quickly learned how to avoid damage and fight to win. He fought far out of his league, and he learned how to do so. While the same can be said about Wolverine, at the end of the day that doesn't mean Pete's accomplishments are any less than what they are, and that they shouldn't be looked at fairly.
Ultimate Pete should take a majority here (maybe just a slight, but by no means less than a majority), for any one of a number of reasons.
Thanks for reading,
