The verdict: Ultron is the clear favorite

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

Speed and spider-sense, and webs can blind or jam an adamantium body's joints.

Ultron's edge

An adamantium body, encephalo-beams and energy blasts, flight, and a machine mind that uploads itself to escape defeat.
