In some cases experience and skill trumps power. I believe there are two heroes here, who have the experience, skills and warrior instincts allowing them to successfully take on opponents far above their power level. These two are Captain America and Wolverine. While Storm is sufficiently more powerful than Wolverine to compensate for that and possibly defeat the Wolverine (although I still vote for Logan winning), Luke Cage is not that much stronger than Cap. Yes, he is stronger than Cap, but not by an awful lot (not like Thor or Hulk). Yes, he has unbreakable skin, but a thrown shield causes blunt force trauma. At the same time, his experience and fighting skills, though formidable, are no match for Cap.

There are some duels here, in which I believe the difference in cunning, tactics, skill and experience is not sufficient to trump the difference in power levels. These are in my opinion: Spidey vs Iron Man, Ms Marvel vs Black Widow and War Machine vs Hawkeye, though only just with the last pair - Hawkey actually does stand a decent chance.
