i think they handle the power gap nicely in the first Avengers movie.
Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk were fighting the big monsters. Cap and Black Widow were on the ground protecting civilians. Hawkeye overviewing everything coordinating from a good vantage point.
Earlier on the Helicarrier, you saw Thortrying to control the Hulk. While Iron Man fixed one of the engine. And Black Widow managing to bring back Hawkeye to the good.
Everyone had their moments to shine, doing what they are good at...and so many things happening at once that Thor couldn't just overpower everything and make everyone else useless.

I'm assuming it'd be illegal for Marvel to have an Andrew Garfield cameo walking on the streets in <insert MCU movie here> and passing by say, Steve Rogers and saying hey what's up. Then Rogers turns around and gives him a weird look like "there's something odd about that guy." Would be a pretty big middle finger to Sony. Or hell even have it be Tobey Maguire.

Not illegal, but could possibly be a breach of Andrew Garfield's contract. Toby Maguire wouldn't have any limitation and if he did he needs a new agent.
Unless you mean for marvel in which case they can do whatever they want as long as they don't reference things they don't have a contract for. That would fall under copyright infringement, I would think, if they are referencing another IP that someone else owns without asking permission. So yes. That would be illegal.

I am talking strictly raw power, as in, the ability to effectively fight those giant worm dudes in Avenger's 1. Really the only time Captain America does anything that spectacular power-wise he's using his OP shield which could theoretically stop a train dead in its tracks through the power of bullshit.
Obviously Captain isn't measured by his ability to deliver a punch and has other strengths that Thor/Hulk don't have. Even Stark isn't limited by his default fighting ability, he overcomes problems by inventing new tech on the fly.
Where as Thor/Hulk? If it's a problem they can't smash (or in Thor's case, get daddy to bail him out) they're SOL.

Gayest thing ever written on this forum.
They should have Ben Schwartz show up in blue and red pajamas and get his skull encaved by Cap.
Fucking Andrew Garfield...get that shit out of here.

If Dr Strange is the Earth's Sorceror Supreme, Steve Rogers is the Earth's Fighter Supreme. They used to say that he was the highest skilled fighter on the planet, that was of terrestrial origin (doesn't apply to Thor, he's Asgardian). He believes in himself, even when he shouldn't. I remember in Infinity Gauntlet, he was the last one standing versus Thanos, the Hulk and Thor were already KO'd.
If you didn't immediately start hearing the song below playing in your head, you're not arealcomic nerd:
Cap is awesome at being stalwart, but that's not really an example of anything. Thanos was fucking around and admitted later that's the only reason he lost the fight, a self-conscious desire to. Hulk, Thor, Cap were all equally insignificant to him, Cap being the last man standing is really only a function of Thanos allowing it.If Dr Strange is the Earth's Sorceror Supreme, Steve Rogers is the Earth's Fighter Supreme.

^^ He's got a point. Hell, they were all just distractions for the cosmic entities, and really, Adam. I agree with your point Lyrical, just a bad example. Though I do wonder what happens in a Cap vs Taskmaster fight. I'm sure it's out there somewhere (he's a Cap villain isn't he?).

Yeah, but he can't copy strength and agility, right? I think it'd be a tough fight but cap should win based on him being peak human perfection. Taskmaster can't make himself match beyond what he is physically capable of. So he can't fight the hulk and hit as strong as him. He just copies movements
