Equipment: Big Boss' Arsenal vs Vibranium Shield and Superhero Suit

There's no way on Earth can Mr. Boss penetrate Cap's trustworthy shield. One can argue that Big Boss can simply aim for his exposed sides since the shield doesn't cover the entirety of his body, but Cap himself is one soldier whose reaction time exceeds those of Big Boss. Dude, he could react to Quicksilver! Even if he was distracted the first time, the moment he got his crap together he easily tagged the youngster. The frag grenades and C4 may be the best method to take down Cap, but again, the guy can easily react to and survive 'em. Cap's taken a large-ass explosion and remember that time when he kept fighting after getting shot by a Chitauri plasma gun? Yeah, let's see if C4 can take his ass down after he survived plasma and numerous energy attacks. Not to say Big Boss stands no chance in this category (despite Cap taking the edge here), but he's got no way to beat him. Even with a clean headshot from the shadows, it'll be hard to pin Cap down due to his reflexes. What about the armor then? Cap's armor actually failed to defend him from the Chitauri's weaponry. It didn't disintegrate, but that thing couldn't resist getting its second layer explode. Nevertheless, Big Boss takes the edge in the protection suit department since his suit is basically only a degree weaker than Cap's but has other numerous features to compensate for its shortcomings. It dampens the sound of Boss' footsteps (sorry, no Shuri Sneakers here), reduces his bleed timer, and prevent night vision detection. Handy features, yes, if Cap actually has night vision. Overall, this category's 'EVEN since Boss and Cap both take separate edges in weapons and armor.

Abilities: Perfect Soldier vs Super Soldier

Though similar, Cap's physicality is way superior to Big Boss' own. Yes, Captain America's helicopter feat was done with a crap ton of adrenaline in mind and Big Boss could hurt someone who regularly punches through steel and stone, so shouldn't they be equals? You can say so, but then I always get that memory when Cap held his own against Loki. Anyways, I actually give physicality to Captain America because of his healing factor. It's useful to have super strength, durability, and all, but when you can regenerate your wounds in even at least three minutes, you're gonna be a hard contender to beat. Stealth is going to be Boss' best chance in taking down Cap. Heck, he might be able to plant all his C4s near Cap's ass and blow him up to kingdom come. Problem is, Cap's not a mere mook who can't realize traps and can react to 'em in time.

In terms of martial arts, I'm not exactly sure which of these guys are more skilled, but from the description, I can see that Cap's fighting style demonstrates mastery over more martial arts compared to Big Boss. Boss is a skilled fella in CQC, but as many of the fights Cap fought showed, unless you are stronger, more brutal, or somewhat more agile and fast, it's a bad idea to fight Cap one-on-one in melee. He has an unbreakable shield that can basically deflect every incoming strikes with his superior speed. Boss wants to use his frags on Steve in the middle of a fistfight? Cap can figure out within mere seconds on how to counter him with his superior tactical acumen. With the same tactical brilliance, he can also find a way to cancel out Boss' stealth tactics. Overall, this one goes to Captain America.

X-Factors: Metal Gear vs Marvel Cinematic Universe

Brutality: Okay, I never thought Cap is someone who's more willing to kill here. I actually thought Boss was someone who'd relentlessly kill his targets without even thinking twice (since they're mooks and terrorists). Nevertheless, Cap takes the edge here because, well, he's not as restrained as Boss in killing folks, which means he has the greater chance of attaining a quick victory.
