Spider-Man vs. Juggernaut
Cain Marko, one of Marvel's biggest villains. In this site's ratings, the classic Peter Parker Spider-Man wins 35% of their one-on-one fights, so Spider-Man is the underdog.
The verdict: Juggernaut wins more often than not
Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.
Spider-Man's edge
He can be tricked: wet cement stopped him once.
Juggernaut's edge
Unstoppable momentum from the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, more than 100 tons of strength, and a helmet that blocks telepaths.
