I think the two are pretty evenly matched, and even though I'm rooting for Cap, I'll do this properly.
Luck - Basically unknown factors of the battle, something we cant really judge. 1-1
Powers - Spiderman has hit the jackpot in this category. Strength, Speed, Webbing, Agility, Durability, Clinging to most surfaces, Stamina, and most importantly, spider sense, which i'll cover later. Against that, Cap has strength, stamina, agility and acrobatics and martial arts. 2-1
Strategy - Cap owns spidey in this, simply because of his decades of war experience. Caps been fighting most of his life, against much smarter and better trained foes then spidey. The guy has an intense knowledge of martial arts, and is an expert acrobat. The man knows how to fight, and fight well. spideys street fighting skills can't compare. 2-2
Location - unspecified. Most likely though, this should go to spidey. unless they're fighting in the desert, spidey has walls, roofs, almost anything to cling on to, and to jump around from. Cap's best use of location is throwing his shield, and doing this gives spidey the chance to take it away from him, with minimal risk to himself. 3-2 to spidey.
The 'Hero' factor - speedlgt brought up the mental preparation of fighting an icon such as Captain America. I personally think this is important, as it takes a lot of strength of character to fight someone like that. Spider-man, to Cap, however, is just a kid. He doesnt strike fear into a legend like cap, especially someone who's faced some real psychos and mass-murdering villans, such as the Red skull. Spidey has strength of character, make no mistake, but does he have to guts to take on cap? i dont think so. 3-3
Raw Strength - Spidermans clearly got an advantage. The guy can lift cars and all sorts of heavy stuff. Thats not to say caps not strong. The guy took a beating from iron man in civil war (powered suit, pretty strong s#@%!), had high level frequency sound attack (dunno what its called) which took down the rest of his team, and the guy was still getting up. Put simply, Cap can take a hell of a beating. Even so, spidey gets the point. 4-3
Other Factors -
the Shield - its practically an extension of Cap's own body. Indestructable, and capable of taking any hit without a scratch, spidey would have a tough time getting around that.
Spider-Sense - For me, this is the deciding factor. Caps best chance woul be to use the shield to give off a false alarm, but in Amazing Spiderman #534 it says "He hesitates as the small dangers he senses surrounding them blur into a kind of white noise. Over the years, he has grown wary of the small dangers. Because sometimes the small dangers can mask the big danger until it's almost-- " 'too late.' Spidey should be able to sense the distraction, and avoid it.
Other Factors has to go to spidey, simply because his spider sense will give him an obvious edge over cap. 5-3
Final Result: Captain America 3 - Spiderman 5
