Can a Spider catch a sonic fly?

Abilities: Even. I honestly do not see a clear winner in the abilities category here. Spider-Man has the superhuman physical attributes enable him to brawl with bigger opponents, and his spidey-sense enables him to see quick moving objects like the Flash. He is also a great acrobat, being able to dodge automatic weapon fire. They are both fairly competant at hand-to-hand combat, and both posess extremely smart intellects. Meanwhile, the Flash has superhuman relfexes and perception, also enabling him to dodge bullets and even catch them. He can make himself intangible/untouchable, and upon going fast enough, can reach strength that people can only dream about. The Flash also has the extreme healing factor ability, meaning what injuries he does recieve will heal fairly quickly.

X-Factors: The Flash. Now this, I had to think a very long time about. Spider-Man has the more creative mind and slightly more strength than the Flash has. Meanwhile, the Flash has the Training and the XP edges. In the end, I give this to the flash, as he has fought multiple opponents who have unique abilities like Spider-Man or insanely creative minds to create weird weapons, like Captain Cold and Heat Wave, or Girder, Weather Wizard, Multiplex, Professor Zoom, and The Trickster. Yeah, Spidey is creative and stronger, but the Flash has experience against enemies of both types, while Spidey hasn't had much experience in fighting other people with powers/abilities.

Deadliest Warrior: The Flash. Sorry Peter, but the Flash here just outruns you. Now, the Abilities of each character were fairly close in some cases (strength, relfexes, and perception), to some that are so radically different they don't belong on the same scale (Flash's Healing Factor and Spidey's Spider-sense). In the end, in my opinion it came down to X-Factors and who both protagonists have had experience fighting. The Flash won there because he's fought multiple enemies that have insane creativity or better strength.... or both. Spidey hasn't had much experience in fighting people who are superhuman/metahuman, which will tip the scales in the Flash's direction. In the end, I declare the Flash the Victor.

Questions/Statements for the Author:

1. I only have two edges because.. I only really saw Abilities and X-Factors given. There may be some that I had missed, so please inform if it is so, and I'll change my vote to relfect that.

2. I'd like to ask what reason would you give Barry for going to New York?
